framework/Prefs/Prefs/ldap.php

All general-purpose libraries of Horde can be found in the framework  
module, organized as PEAR packages. Most libraries follow a driver  
pattern.

DataTree is a librarie to store hierarchical data of any kind, at the  
moment only with support for an SQL backend. It's used for stuff like  
groups, permissions, shares, but also in some applications to store  
forums, galleries, etc.
