The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.

I am unclear on whether your LDAP authentication code is in the web application or you are talking about LDAP authentication for the Tomcat itself (for example, the LDAPRealm authenticator).
Without more information, it's hard to say what could be done.

Preferably involving reproductive areas.
@Luis: My suggestion is that you give us the Test question exactly as it was posed to you, because otherwise there are just too many variables to give any reasonable advice.

OK, thanks for that.
However, if it is the question as it was given to you, it only confirms Tim's (and my) assessment.
However, I'd concentrate on the
"Describe the pros and cons, what could be improved, and how" bit.
Tim has already given you one improvement (NIC upgrade), and I don't see anywhere in the question that says it can't be done.
A few others:
Put the LDAP server somewhere else. Put the database somewhere else. Add memory. Upgrade the CPU.
Because the major "con" I see of that set-up - if indeed, all the described items are on one machine - is that it's a single point of failure.
And I hate to say, but I'm having problems with coming up with any "pros" at the moment.
