online openldap example

[Jon Roberts <jon@mentata.com>]

LDAP has traditionally been used as a database for user accounts, and a 
standard for central identity management is certainly welcome in an age 
of (vendor) stovepipe architectures. However, I find LDAP a useful 
alternative backend to standard RDBMS driven web applications. If you'd 
like to see an example using LDAP for something more unconventional, 
check out:

The data is currently hosted with an OpenLDAP server (alas, currently 
only v2.0.23). I am currently rebuilding my development machine so it 
will be a few weeks before I can incorporate changes, but I welcome any 
suggestions. I'll also take pointers to text versions of non-English 
bibles (I already have a good Swedish one). I plan to use this example 
to demonstrate LDAP's support for internationalization, among other things.
