What state information will be lacking?

If the ldap server communicates with the gatekeeper you can find out
1) if someone is on line
2) if someone is in a current call

What is needed is a gw between the gatekeeper and the ldap server. 
opengk could be extended to 'publish' its state to the ldap server. 
Alternatively the ldap server could query the gatekeeper for this
information.
