Try running this:

# sudo -V | grep ldap

You should get output like:

ldap.conf path: /etc/ldap.conf
ldap.secret path: /etc/ldap.secret

If you don't see an ldap.conf in the output your sudo was not
compiled with ldap support.

You have an entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf that looks like this?

sudoers: ldap files
