The automatic browsing that everyone is familiar with from Outlook is
supported by an Exchange extension to LDAP. OpenLDAP does not support it.
Although IIRC the extension is fairly well documented no-one seems to have yet
implemented it for OpenLDAP.

the issue doesn't seem to be as clear-cut as I remember.
