[Freeipa-users] Identification with openLDAP and authorization with FreeIPA

This would be the best option!

But customer won't allow this :( Since the openLDAP is also used by 
other apps.

So I need to sync them. Which means:
- adding the new users (not so difficult)
- removing old user (perhaps not too complicated)
- replicating changes like a password update (for this one, I'm 
completely clueless).

any idea?
