Accessing LDAP (not looking for SSO) via a Custom field
I'd like to create a couple of fields that will query our LDAP server for a list of user names, I'm just looking to pull in the persons name and populate the custom fields.
Can this be accomplished without SSO or SAML?
Could an External Obeject/External Data Souirce be used without the need for Lighting Connect (30k).
This is a simple need in theory, but of high value to our proejct.I'm not looking to add any additional cost to accomplish this task.
Any thoughts? Has anyone implemented this this successfully?
Many thanks!

I think that I may just download a .CSV file from LDAP and create a Custom Object and create a lookup to the custom fields I need.
The downside to this solution, is stale data. We would need to upsert a new .CSV file on a regular basis.
Below are a few other solutions I've looked into, but most have a heavy pricetag, and the request is very small to justify them.
Option 1 - Identity Connect/Chatter license: $
Option 2 - Dell Boomi Connector - http://help.boomi.com/atomsphere/GUID-CD070E31-0B9A-49A4-B41C-028E3C703B68.html?pageVersion=3
Option 3 - Developer "real time call out"
* Via REST/SOAP API
Option 4 - CSV file dump
Option 5 - CData’s Lighting Connect driver
Thanks!
