Ldap can do a lot of things
its a good way of inigrating all of your atentification systems and 
address books across your entire orginization and is highly expandable 
and configureable
there are a few things about the prepackaged version that comes with 
suse you should know it was not compiled wits kerberos 5 support
as a mater of fact i have had trouble geting the prepackeged version 
with suse to work at all without editing the spec file and recompiling 
the rpm
an onter thing you should know is suse comes prepackeged with heimdal as 
its version of kerberos rather than MITs version. eventhough i in some 
ways like heimdal its not compatable with a lot of the more intresting 
sotware that use ldap in combination with kerberos mots notable is 
samba. ( speaking of witch didnt you write a book released under SuSE's 
name about samba)
in short you wont get anywere with ldap unless you compile it sothe best 
advice i can give you is check out this site www.bayour.com it helped me 
alot
