the PHP LDAP api is rather awkward is where the issue is. PHP has 3
functions to search a directory.

ldap_search  => which is the same as scope=sub
ldap_list => which is the same as scope=one
ldap_read => which is the same as scope=base

So, basically a patch would have to be created against the
Drivers/ldap.php to provide the scope paramater option, and use the
appropriate function based on the scope.
