Just to be clear, when you say "much custom code" do you mean none if I am careful, or a little?  This can obviously be a big difference since even testing a small number of changes against all the LDAP servers we might have to talk to could be a large task.

I doubt you'll need much custom code for the basics.
But you'll need to be aware of vendor-specific features and schema, and
not rely on those in your app, if you want it to work the same on any
server.
