Their phpbb profile will always be mapped to their username they already logged in with via IIS.
You would have to write some code to make profiles for phpBB for the users you already have in your Directory. Simplest way would be to duplicate the code in the registration page, modify it and then have the new page retrieve all login information from the LDAP and fill the phpBB users table.
From that point forward, you can keep on using that page to create new profiles whenever you add a new user to your Directory. All you would need to do, is run it through the commandline for example.
Also, I don't know if LDAP auth is functional yet.
