I'm now interested in pluging the server to an existing ldap

wiki, OpenDirectoryService is the thing I should use. Is this
DirectoryService somehow crossplatform ? How can it be configured
to connect to the existing ldap directory, have you any doc about
that ?
Unfortunately it is not cross platform, it uses the Directory
Services/Open Directory API provided by Apple. A pure LDAP
DirectoryService is on my todo list (using ldaptor[0]) But there are
design issues blocking that work and I don't have the time to sort it
all out right now.
I'm sorry that we don't just have something ready for you. It should
be possible to use python-ldap[1] without any design changes to the
twistedcaldav.directory APIs however python-ldap is not an
asynchronous API so it's performance in our twisted server may be
suboptimal and require the use of a caching mechanism similar to
OpenDirectoryService's.

P.S. If anyone feels incredibly motivated to pursue any course of
action along the lines of implementing some sort of LDAP Directory
Service I'm sure it would be welcome.
