I'm using a Network Access Client (which is in itself a SIP Server) that 
handles DIGEST-MD5 requests to from SIP clients to itself. It then 
proxies the DIGEST-MD5 requests onto a Radius server (FreeRadius) and I 
want to pass on the DIGEST-MD5 into an OpenLDAP server to read from my 
LDAP user database. Therefore accomplishing having one authentication 
database and not two. Freeradius and OpenLdap are on the same box but I 
would eventually like to integrate the Freeradius into the LDAP module 
in Active Dircetory but that is another saga not for now.
