You do not seem to understand.
Multiple tier architecture here means:
Tier 1: GUI or command line frontend
Tier 2: backend on the server
Tier 3: database in ldap

Basically the potentialy mutliple frontend implementations manipulate dat=
a in=20
the db aka ldap and then the backend is triggered to create the final con=
fig=20
file, imapd accounts etc.
