This sounds like a function of phpLdapAdmin, not the LDAP server. I
haven't used phpLdapAdmin, but if it works with Fedora DS, then you
should be able to use that feature as well.
Any chance of making this a function of the console? I'd rather use the
console - as it does almost everything needed and then some. I haven't had
much luck getting phpLdapAdmin working with fedora-ds (I've had some
objectclass violations when creating new users - haven't spent much time
trying to figure that out as I like the console much better).
