I demonstrated OpenLDAP for my boss and we are discussing rfc2307 implementation at which point I would have to maintain hosts in LDAP and it might make sense to tie them all in to puppet. I think you confirmed that I am not seeing nodes from LDAP in the Dashboard not because of anything I am doing wrong so I'll leave it for now.
