  LDAP directory. LAM runs on any webserver with PHP5 support and connects to
  your LDAP server unencrypted or via SSL/TLS.</para>

  <para>LAM supports Samba 3/4, Unix, Kopano, Kolab 3, address book entries,
  NIS mail aliases, MAC addresses and much more. There is a tree viewer
  included to allow access to the raw LDAP attributes. You can use templates
  for account creation and use multiple configuration profiles.</para>
