It's purely client.  Our current version of Trac uses a hack by Frank  
to allow it to look up emails and usernames using the LDAP rather than  
Trac's internal user list.  There might be wider support for this in  
newer versions of Trac through the use of plugins, but it is possible  
there isn't.  We can't do work without something that does the mapping  
regardless.

No LDAP server changes should be required at all.  In fact, everything  
has been working very smoothly there in my opinion.  I especially like  
that we can shell-enable a user's account with little hassle :)
