[osuser] extent of LDAP support

I am wondering what the extent of the LDAP support in OSUser is supposed to
be.

From a quick scan, it doesn't seem like the LDAP support is very
comprehensive, and I was wondering what people's expectations are

LDAP is capable of storing all of the user, group and profile information I
guess (depending on the LDAP schema) but I am not sure that is what OSUser
is trying to do

It seems like the credential provider is read-only provider and expects to
be chained in with other providers to provide any real functionality

Am I missing something? I expect that if the app server provider were
ghosting LDAP, perhaps this situation would be different, but since the
javadoc comment for the LDAPCredentialsProvider says DOCUMENT ME! I was
trying to get a better idea of what its intended purpose it

Thanks,
Matthew
