Technically the most relevant parts are done (proper ACL's and SSL
encryption on the wire). What's left is to add some attributes to the
respective accounts, including a numeric UID for the 'uidNumber' field
....  which hopefully could be recovered from the Telascience LDAP DB,
either by "real" BerkeleyDB recovery tools or simply by running
'strings' on the respective file(s).

The LDAP server part could be done in an hour or so, later today,
