Hi Robert,
With OpenLDAP you have a server and a client. Server is the user
database, client can query the database and authenticate against it.
These links should definitely explain everything you want to know about
setting up the client:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication
http://askubuntu.com/questions/127389/how-to-configure-ubuntu-as-an-ldap-client
Little tip on the side: if you configure LDAP wrong and it times out
while authenticating against a server (which shouldn't happen on
localhost, but alas), your system can hang for a minute or two at boot.
Beginners mistake I made a while back. Panicking is not required, as
your system will continue to boot after a while.
Good luck. :-)
Kindest regards,
Jan Middelkoop

Hello everybody,
I've begun researching your suggestions and I am leaning towards the
openLDAP suggestion. I need some help with direction of my further
research please.
I should have little problem installing it in Edubuntu 12.04 as it s
included in the Software Center. And I should have little problem
coding to it with PHP as the concepts are basically the same as
interacting with MySql. And I get how to add users and such to the
LDAP database. But how do I tell Edubuntu to only use the users from
the LDAP list?
Thanks.

As suggested, you could create a script that specifically does
what you
want, and only give PHP sudo access to that specific script.
That would
be more secure than what you're suggesting.
However.......... -> LDAP.
