Hi Dan, Surprised by this idea and curious about your use case. Puppet is better for modeling resources on a system as opposed to data in an external database, which is what users are in LDAP. Normally you would use Puppet to manage local users as well as the setup necessary for nsswitch, sssd/nscd and pam so the system can resolve users and groups from LDAP.
