You can write a signed JavaApplet without any user interface which get a
directory's content. Using LiveConnect (works in IE and Communicator) you can

"Some will tell you that an organization is the people who make it up, but
that's not the case at all.
The whole is larger and completely different from the sum of its parts. [...]
The underlying theory is
that you motivate people to provide value to society by making it be in their
best interest to do so."
