Understood, but we are looking for something not too complicated & possibly free - we are ready to accept that it is not 100% reliable.
The beauty of using LDAP attributes is that it requires no special software to maintain and it is easily implementable.

So despite its obvious disadvantages, I believe it would find its use in smaller networks.

I am no expert over content management systems so if it (CMS) is on the IPA roadmap already, then fine, but if not, then something like this 
(ldap attrs) would be (maybe) a good starting point.
