Yes its how I started (ldap+radius(
But it depends what you want to do.
1) If you want to have nice display in softphone (or hardware phone with
LCD) of global system phonebook and/or private phonebook - I'm sorry, no
vendor is supporting this.
I was trying to convince few videophone manufacturers to support XML or
SOAP, but there are other reasons they won't do it now (they all go
proprietary).
2) If you want to just implement a SIP-like phonebook functionality,
like "you hook-off, you press # and number of phonebook entry and system
dials for you", then voila. You can do it yourself. Just write clever
SER module, or PHP script and use Ldap.

Hi,
I am using SER with centralized LDAP backend which is accessed by
RADIUS. Maybe it could work out for you.

Hello Joao,
I'm using SER and Asterisks-based system, with centralized LDAP backend.
To access LDAP I use SOAP and DSML.This is now used for every
provisioning/management/billing/ivr activity in the system. In future I
plan to have centralized phonebook based in LDAP.
I think that having centralized LDAP directory and accessing it from
clients via SOAP/XML is a best option. If security is an issue, SOAP/XML
Digital Signature and Encryption could be used here.
Maybe we will live until times when hardware vendors will support SOAP
clients in their phones, or at least XML browsers or some sort of thin
clients. I see SNOM is doing something in XML - maybe worth checking.
I think that will be the soft-phone manufacturers that will first adapt
idea of central phonebook, based on SOAP message exchanges with
centralized LDAP directory servers.
