It fits nicely with IMP, but there's no reason why it shouldn't. LDAP
is LDAP when everyone follows the standards.

[Kind of off-topic]
The only issue I've had with OpenLDAP is that the MySQL storage
back-end wasn't quite mature when I set it up (PostgreSQL seems
better, but we use MySQL here). So I eventually went for the Berkeley
DB back-end, which I find much less appealing and has some stability
issues. Maybe this could be reconsidered now, I haven't had time to
check again.
