How can I use ldap authentication with full disk encryption?

I'm evaluating (x)ubuntu client for my companies software developer. We must use full disk encryption because of software, which doesn't save their files in /home (like databases). The company uses "active directory" as LDAP solution.

At system start I would want the LDAP user authentication to unlock the encryption. Is this easily possible with Linux tools?

I know of LVM with Luks, but afaik that's one password and not connectable with ldap.

A similar solution for Windows is "DriveLock".

How do I check the health of a SSD?

We all know that SSDs have a limited predetermined life span. So the question for me is how do I check in (Ubuntu) Linux what the current health status of my SSD is? And maybe an estimation how long it will take?

Graphical tool is preferred, but command line tool would also be fine.
