Is there a way to get the user login name and password using objective-C,
after the user logs in?

NSUserName() returns the username. As far as I know, there is no way to get the password, for security reasons. You should prompt the user for their LDAP password, then use the SecKeychain APIs to save the password; that way the user only has to enter it the first time the app launches.
