Hi Evan,

Have you looked at Open Directory?

https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Networking/Conceptual/Open_Directory/Introduction/Introduction.html
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Networking/Reference/OpenDirectoryFramework/Reference/reference.html%23//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40008764

OD provides a unified API for accessing account information from a number of 
sources, including LDAP servers. The documentation is a bit sparse, but I'd 
recommend playing around with it a bit in a macirb session and reading through 
the headers (there's not that many).

Cheers,

Josh
