I dont like this idea too match. If You will copy the setting, any change
made over kolab admin interface won't be reflected in the user identity.

I have seen, that someone had alerady solved a part of the prefs storage. I
have made the same, just enabling LDAP works and stores the preferencies.
Yes you need extend LDAP, but its the LDAP nature, be so extended to hold
any info about user on one place for all the systems (and make replicas to
prevent data loss and better performance).

You will only go into problem by users, which don't have needed objectClass,
so I have patched ldap.php to check it and if needed extend the user to
hordePerson, so the saving sucess. This should be probably part od horde,
not part of kolab, because any ldap backend will have problem with user,
which don't have proper object class.

The patch is here:

+                               $this->params['uid'] . '=' .
$this->user,$attrib);
+         if ($search) {
+             $result = ldap_get_entries($this->connection, $search);
+         } else {
+             Horde::logMessage('Failed to connect to LDAP preferences
server.', __FILE__, __LINE__);
+         }
+         $top = 0;
+         $hordeperson = 0;
+         /* I hope the uid is unique */
+         if ($result) {
+         	for ($i=0; $i<$result[0]['objectclass']["count"]; $i++) {
+         		if (strcasecmp($result[0]["objectclass"][$i],'top') == 0)
+         			$top = 1;
+           		if (strcasecmp($result[0]["objectclass"][$i],'hordeperson') ==
0)
+         			$hordeperson = 1;
+    		    }
+         }
+         /* in case that account hasn't needed object type -> add them */
+         if ($top == 0) {
+         	$add['objectclass'] = 'top';
+         	ldap_mod_add($this->connection, $this->dn, $add);
+         }
+
+         if ($hordeperson == 0) {
+         	$add['objectclass'] = 'hordePerson';
+         	ldap_mod_add($this->connection, $this->dn, $add);
+         }
+
          /* Send the hash to the LDAP server. */
          if (ldap_mod_replace($this->connection, $this->dn, $new_values)) {
              foreach ($dirty_prefs as $pref) {


You can also made the user direct with top and hordePerson, but some users
will never use webclient.
