1. I always recommend to write your administration app meeting exactly your 
needs. It's normally not so much effort to write a small web app in <name 
your favourite scripting language here>.

2. However you could check out the group administration feature of 
http://www.web2ldap.de. You can maintain group entries with DN stored in an 
arbitrary member attribute (e.g. user DN stored in groupOfNames/member) or 
an arbitrary attribute value stored in the group's member attribute (e.g. 
uid stored in posixGroup/memberUid). This can be configured. You can even do 
exotic things like maintaining groups in Tibco Portal with that.

See (bookmarkable) example (hope Stig don't mind ;-):
http://localhost/web2ldap-fcgi/web2ldap.py/groupadm?ldap://ldap.uninett.no/uid%3Dvenaas%2Cou%3Dusers%2Cdc%3Duninett%2Cdc%3Dno

Being the author I'm biased off course.

Ciao, Michael.
