Is Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) used in OpenOffice?
Yes (optionally).
I think it's possible, using ldap sources (includes+libs are necessary) and --enable-ldap while configure.
It should be used by default. It picks up headers and libraries from mozilla. There is an --enable-openldap option that switches this to use a system-installed openldap instead.
There is another, more indirect use of ldap in the (mozilla) address book component.
If so, for what purpose?
Use ldap directly from OpenOffice.org I presume ... :-)
The direct use is to populate the settings in Tools-Options-User Data from the user data in the configured directory. The LDAP directory to use needs to be configured manually for this to work (the install contains file share/registry/data/org/openoffice/Ldap.xcu.sample; a copy of this file, edited to point to the correct server, needs to be placed into the same location as Ldap.xcu or installed using 'unopkg add --shared').
In the address book database driver it is possible to select an LDAP directory as data source for address data (e.g. for mail merges).
