For SME 8 only, LDAP is readonly

either local, eg. a LAMP app
on the server itself, eg. egroupware
on the local network, eg. another server in the local network which runs an ERP, but uses SME server user/group database
or even a remote host, eg. a GLPI instance used to manage requests from several clients using SME server.
