I am not very current on this but... LDAP does not support (or didn't 
support) any concept of referential integrity.  I have heard of a 
proposal to add such a functionality but don't really know where it is

You might be able to cheat.  Use mysql for the backend and modify the 
rdbms schema yourself + some triggers?....
