ldap forms?

["Seth Thornberry" <seth.thornberry@pcca.com>]

That's exactly what I'm trying to do. Our PHB likes the idea of a web-based
search, but solutions like the web500gw pages are too complex for the user.
(PHB keeps attempting to search under the wrong context, etc) Windows (with
IE) has an ldap client, the windows address book. He likes the output of
that, but doesn't like having to go to start>find>people for whatever
reason.
