This is a very special module and maybe used for only one or a few customers of the company e/t/s (see DLS-link above). But it's a demonstration of a strategy to secure SOAP communications with short time passwords which are pushed into a LDAP database where the DLS Server is checking the passwords from the other side.
For the LDAP operations the API of LDAPcontrol module can be used if installed. With a custom hook the LDAP server controling can be handled on another way maybe with direct PHP LDAP functions.
Additionally some customizing can only be made by hooks in a custom module. And a function to rebuild and/or repair the LDAP data of this module are only accessible with drush: http://drupal.org/project/drush
