Hi,

I use list families for this.
I put the common ldap stuff in the config.tt2 of the list family:


[% IF ldap -%]
include_ldap_2level_query
  name [% ldap.name %]
  host ldap.myhost.com
  passwd very_secrete
  user uid=sympa-proxy,ou=People,dc=myhost,dc=com
  use_ssl yes
  ssl_version sslv3
  ssl_ciphers ALL
  attrs1 uniquemember
  filter1 [% ldap.filter %]
  scope1 one
  suffix1 ou=Groups,dc=myhost,dc=com
  select1 all
  timeout1 30
  attrs2 mail,displayName
  filter2 (objectClass=person)
  scope2 base
  suffix2 [attrs1]
  select2 all
  timeout2 30
[% END %]

And I put the list specific ldap stuff in the list family definition xml 
file:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<family>
  <list>
...
    <ldap>
     <name>test1</name>
     <filter>(&amp;(objectClass=groupOfUniqueNames) (cn=test1))</filter>
    </ldap>
    </list>
  <list>
</family>

I think vanilla sympa 6.1.22 won't return the user's name from ldap 
without a patch, only the email address. But that was not your point anyway.
