[UGMM] UGMM, LDAP, LLDAP, was Re: NZOSS Membership system

[Nick Bannon]

Hi, all! Forgot about this for a while, but I was reminded by:
https://github.com/nitnelave/lldap

...a slimmed down LDAP server in Rust with a familiar workflow?

PLUG's User Group Membership Management was written by Tim, our
ex-president, it's a PHP front-end which saves its data in LDAP. This
has the nice bonus of supporting UNIX groups and an "expiry" date.
People can edit their own details or reset their password by email,
and get expiry warnings by email, too.

PHP has changed over time... so I expect it still needs some updates
to run without spewing too many warnings on a shiny new PHP 8.1 (beta)
or anything close. Then again lldap will probably need maintenance too...

Nick.
