Support for PAM
I'm not sure how exactly this would work. LDA doesn't use any passwords, so it would have to make a PAM call with some dummy password. And that would create a two second delay with most PAM implementations.
There is quite a lengthy reason behind this. In my organisation, user accounts are created on ldap. It is up to the services to create home directories whenever the user first uses them. For instance, Samba will do this the first time they connect to their windows home share. This achieved in other places using pam, using the pam_mkhomedir module.
I think a better idea would be to just make the LDA create the home directory.
