I can't seem to find a nice, simple, stupid web administration interface for LDAP. I want the users of said web interface to just be able to click "Add User" and fill out givenName, sn. I'll derive from that a uidNumber, uid, homeDirectory, mail, generate a password, send out an email. Or something like that.  Same goes for groups "Add User to Group", or "Remove User from Group". All based on authorization levels or ACLs in LDAP, of course. Reliably enforcing a naming convention and all kinds of standard operating procedures.

So, I started my first Ruby on Rails project, and I called it SLAP (Simple LDAP Administration Panel). Since it's my first Ruby on Rails project, I'm trying to get used to the semantics that is Rails... Enabling the brand new Rails project to simply authenticate and authorize through LDAP for example is being a PITA. I'm looking at ActiveLdap, but I can't seem to figure it out -it is very scarcely documented.
