Yes, it's still a work in progress. So the code is a not clean yet.
Although, concerning the connection to user_ldap, I would like to 
implement it, but not make it mandatory.
It would be quite useful for example to use the same credentials if 
possible (if same ldap server and same base dn for example), but it must 
be also possible to connect to a different ldap.

it is configurable, based on the xml config file, I just want to know 
if, based on experience or standard, there would be a ldap attribute 
that can be connected to the VCard categories ?

Thanks, I didn't know about that. I see it. I will take a look then, 
thanks.
