I'm running the free LDAP stuff with homegrown perl CGI's.  It's working 
great for me - and it's easy enough that my fiancee uses it..

The module is Net::LDAP
I'm using slapd as the server... I believe it's part of openldap

The reason I wrote my own is because the packages I looked at (while I 
didn't look at web organizer) were somewhat restrictive.
