Audit: audisp-remote plugin: why is OpenLDAP a dependency ??

[salgak at comcast.net]

I'm currently dealing with a VMware appliance, and need to export my audit logs. Despite VMware telling me to use the audisp-remote plugin with auditd, I get a dependency check for OpenLDAP, and the install fails. 

I'm pointing to my audit server (a Splunk box) via IP address. Is there any workaround, or am I stuck adding even MORE software to the appliance ??
