As usual, John has identified what I am trying to do.
Yes, I want to have an assignable class to what is essentially site
manifest coding in anticipation of using an ENC and Hiera.

works as in installs openldap-servers package, configures it per the
database instructions I have provided.

No - just looking for a way to create a class (or obviously now that
everyone is suggesting modifying a 3rd party module is bad form), a new
module that is basically site manifest code. I do have more that I want to
do and just provided the two things that I just can't make work properly
inside of a class but I will try doing it in a new class/module and see if
that makes a difference.
