Both shell and Web interfaces are implemented in the LGBA project, available at:

http://www.spelio.net.ru/soft#LGBA
or
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lgba

Although it is intensively tested and considered extremely useful in many cases,
it could break some classical paradigms on how the ldap directory tree
should be designed.

LGBA also provides a library, liblgba, which helps C programmer to develop
LDAP-related programs with something more high-level interface than classic
LDAP API.
