Please share a few more details.  I don't quote follow what you're
trying to do.  We are in beta with an consulting application that makes
HEAVY use of LDAP.  It derives from:

(a) Anthony Baxter's LDAP work, 
(b) recent work by CodeIt Computing on LDAPUserFolders and,
(c) a lot of integration/polish/implementation by Jeffrey Shell here at
DC.

(a) and (b) are available on the zope (new?) web site.  We plan to make
the fruits of (c) generally available once we've had a moment or two to
bake into a final form and document it.
