That's a rather limited view of the capabilities of an LDAP server. Most modern browsers support the ldap:// syntax, to browse the LDAP server as an address book. For you to do so over the internet, you would need access to 389 TCP/UDP, are these ports opened up? Furthermore, you would require anonymous (read-)access.
