This is all fine, but i am not sure we have anyone here who is really
familiar with LDAP. If you want to gently point us in a right direction,
just shoot.
My personal knowledge of LDAP unfortunately stops at "this is some
kind of database which can be used for all kind of weird stuff, ranging
from authentication database to sharing e-mail addressbooks." I suppose
many other people here know more, but I am not avare of any LDAP-gurus
here. .-)
