Is there a method with which to load users from both Active Directory & OpenLDAP (not the GLUU provided LDAP, an external OpenLDAP). It seems like the key/attribute mappings are generic, so it complains when I try and add sAMAccountName on a non-AD based LDAP server. I can make this work with Active Directory only, or OpenLDAP only but not both at the same time.

Hi Patrick, If you want to load user's information from multiple backend servers ( AD or LDAP ) simultaneously, backend should be identical from tree structure.

Perfect, so to be clear, all the backend servers need to have identical user objects? Is there another strategy I could use to pull in users from different ldap servers (AD + OpenLDAP in this case).

This might be possible but need some hacking as it is not supported out of the box. Also we might need add some features in manage_authentication code which will allow Gluu Server to authenticate different backend servers which has different types of DN tree.
