Under the "Basic" tab for a user, there is an "Internet password:" field.
It is the "Internet Password" you will use to authenticate to Domino LDAP,
not the password associated with your ID file.

I access Domino LDAP with a login and password for several applications.  It
is a lot slower than I would like, but works okay.  Possibly you can set
indexes on their LDAP server to speed it up.  I actually dump the entire
Domino LDAP directory to memory before importing parts of it to OpenLDAP.
There seems to be a high cost per transaction when you perform thousands of
queries.

I don't see why not, if you can replicate their schema.

I haven't tried to do this.
