By providing a single point of access to all kinds of data. This is *exactly* 
what LDAP is all about.

LDAP provides access to distributed directory services. It is already used for 
address books (e.g. in Evolution, Thunderbird, OpenOffice.org, Lotus Notes, 
Outlook, ...) user management, PAM authentication, management of SMTP, POP and 
IMAP data, ... LDAP is the de-facto industry standard for these kind of 
things.

Adapting a quote from Henry Spencer: "Those who do not understand LDAP are 
condemned to reinvent it, poorly."
