it is more that people don't understand that ofbiz is not a db driven application. This had me going when I first got started.
Ofbiz generates the DB from the entityengine. So if you could have an LDAP db source it would be populated by Ofbiz. http://ofbiz.apache.org/docs/entity.html Therefore the DB would have the ofbiz type of security. Without User Login, and Security defined by Ofbiz. the DB should not be accessible. Having access to the LDAP db thru any other channel would break the ofbiz security. To my knowledge, LDAP has not advanced that far in ofbiz yet.
