Well, AFAIR extension eu_ldap creates a record in fe_users and then let 
TYPO3 handle the creation of session cookie and the rest. Meaning if you 
manage to make your own authentication provider (for authenticating your 
guests user), then the rest should be automatically done for you by the 
TYPO3 authentication service.
