I am somewhat aware of how MS LDAP works, and am horrified. A key issue to me 
is that, by default, any user may display most all information about any other 
in a given 'container'. 

Even if that is not true, our shop still considers the risks of exposing the 
'family jewels' (the SE/HMC LAN) to -any- such attack vectors as unacceptable.  
YMMV

It's Microsoft based.  Active Directory?  I'm not familiar with it at
all.  BTW, it only does password authentication.  You still control who
gets access to what.
