It isn't possible to import users from LDAP, however DSpace has an ability to create user accounts automatically the first time they log in via LDAP. This is from the config file: # This will turn LDAP autoregistration on or off. With this # on, a new EPerson object will be created for any user who # successfully authenticates against the LDAP server when they # first login. With this setting off, the user # must first register to get an EPerson object by # entering their ldap username and password and filling out # the forms. webui.ldap.autoregister = true This may help you achieve what you need. For groups, it is possible to extend the 'special groups' functionality that allows users to be added to groups dynamically each time they are log on. This could be based on LDAP group membership, and if someone were to create a patch that enables this, I'm sure it would make an excellent addition to DSpace.
