You actually have 3 kinds of logging enabled:

Many syslogs suppress debug messages

Your apache logs only get errors

That isn't a valid value, so you get nothing useful in rt.log
Try "debug".

Did you want to check 3 things, or just your ldap config

You don't actually have My_MySQL defined, so I bet you're getting
errors about that.

All of these comments assume that you've installed version 0.09,
cleared your mason cache and can see that the plugin is configured in
Tools -> Configuration -> Tools -> System Configuration
