umich grad program docs for ldap are the holy grail....those students were
grabbed up by netscape in 96, so netscape dev site is also a gret
reference.
In general, and ldap "key" is a "Distinguished Name" consisting of the
user's "common name (cn)" and country:
cn="tack anti-gates" co="US"
Optionally, people substitute organization or organizational unit for
country. I see this as a bad practice, as those can change frequently,
and country is a bit less volitile.
Also consider doing an LDIF import. Usually, you can just create user
data externally then import it in bulk. OR....being LDAP, you can just
set the server to inherit the data from a higher level ldap server.
