Hi Steve

Assuming LDAP access is read-only, group info would need to be set up
in the LDAP server itself prior to keystone accessing it.  This is not
something that many large corporations would be willing to
accommodate, which means you'd need to get group data from elsewhere.
Hence, my suggestion!
