Stephen,
You may want to try the Netscape LDAP server which comes as a 3rd party
product on the CF 4.5 Pro installation CD.
I installed it to see what it was like. Personally I hated the interface
which I thought was a bit clunky (HTML based requiring Navigator). I much
prefer MS Exchange's implementation which is X400 based ( I believe that
strictly speaking LDAP is a cut down version of X500). This means that the
attibute names differ slightly from the standard attribute names. Exchange
can be setup to create a user whenever a new NT account is set up, which
means your user directory is kept in synch. Finally Novell had a free
download on their site which exposed the NDS tree as an LDAP directory. I
installed it on a Novell 4.11 box when I knew little about LDAP and couldn't
get it to work.
You'll find that whatever server you use, getting queries to work at first
can be a real pain in the butt. It's more a question of trial and error than
an exact science.
Regards
Michael O'Reilly

We use Netscape's LDAP, which is anything but free (license fees are
based on the number of entries) ! Try this one at the Open LDAP project:
