Hi,
I exactly did the same stuff lately. With some friends, we're running a server that hosts some domains. Because I wanted to learn about LDAP, I thought that it would be a nice thing to put all the userinfo into an openldap tree and even authenticate to it.
The same problem I encountered: There are some ldap-browsers, but no big implementations.
Maybe our setup is a bit too specific, so I had to write my own tools (long live perl). Our setup consists of accounts, these accounts can contain multiple posixaccounts, domains, virtusers and vhosts.
I looked at some webbased apps for ISP management, but they always have a domain on the toplevel.
I managed to make a tool, but found out that the slapd from debian doesn't have TLS support, so security still is an issue for me, because users have to be able to modify parts of the tree.
But IMHO, I find ldap pretty funky, well suited for a lot of stuff and above all really scalable.
