Can't this be implemented with a FAS ldap schema that contains these
bits in ldap attributes?
Or rephrased: Can't any SQL field in a table be always mapped onto
some (custom) ldap attribute? If you can map a problem onto an SQL
database it should be possible to go ldap IMHO.
Seems like it should work that way, and we spent months trying to get it
to work right (even working with the fedora-ds people) but it just ended
up being very hacky and not very good.
