Understood, but we are looking for something not too complicated &
possibly free - we are ready to accept that it is not 100% reliable.
The beauty of using LDAP attributes is that it requires no special
software to maintain and it is easily implementable.
So despite its obvious disadvantages, I believe it would find its use
in smaller networks.
I am no expert over content management systems so if it (CMS) is on
the IPA roadmap already, then fine, but if not, then something like
this (ldap attrs) would be (maybe) a good starting point.
I am still not convinced. It seems that the package management tools are
much better equipped to do what you are looking for and they are also free.
