[Koha] Connecting KOHA patron information to website login

[Scott Owen]

Agreed, I think many institutions would benefit greatly from a directory 
of some (any) kind.
Having a LDAP directory built into Koha would be a great "selling point" 
as well.

maybe just add LDAP services to your existing Koha box, then loop Koha 
back at it's own LDAP server using the existing LDAP 
tools....might/should work....???
This should leave the existing structure of Koha in place....and yet 
give you some sort of LDAP service.
Cheezy...but I don't see why it shouldn't work.

Once you have Koha and LDAP talking, you can use all sorts of tools to 
populate/backup/export/distribute your LDAP directory.
