Answer 1

It sounds like you are missing an instance of UserService that your RememberMeService needs a reference to. Since you are using LDAP, you'd need an LDAP version of UserService. I'm only familiar with JDBC/JPA implementations, but looks like org.springframework.security.ldap.userdetails.LdapUserDetailsManager is what you are looking for. Then your config would look something like this:

@Bean
public UserDetailsService getUserDetailsService() {
    return new LdapUserDetailsManager(); // TODO give it whatever constructor params it needs
}

@Bean
public RememberMeServices rememberMeServices() {
    TokenBasedRememberMeServices rememberMeServices = new TokenBasedRememberMeServices("password", getUserDetailsService());
    rememberMeServices.setCookieName("cookieName");
    rememberMeServices.setParameter("rememberMe");
    return rememberMeServices;
}
