Having only recently started with LDAP myself, I'm probably not the most
qualified to reply, but I'll give some (hopefully accurate) ideas.

You'd probably want to create an LDIF file (It's basically the same
format as what ldapsearch outputs). There should be some info in "The
SLAPD and SLURPD Administrator's Guide".

You would probably need to declare (?) some new objectclasses for some
of the info you want. Again, I point you to "The ... Guide".

Sorry for being so vague and I hope this is *some* help.
