Hi In general I'm proposing a read/write LDAP interface ahead Syncope. The real needing is to perfoms LDAP operations against Syncope. It happens when the applications need to connect to an authoritative resource, via LDAP. Very often the requested feature is the password sync, so the user that change his password using a web application (like an intranet) obtains to propagate the password change (by Syncope) to all his resources. Or in other cases is easy performing users bulk actions using a simple add/replace ldif, without writing extra code.

Did you had a look at Fortress (http://www.openldap.org/fortress/) ?
