Believe it or not this is the first request I recall about this.  We have a 
grouperLoader which works from SQL but I can easily extend it to work with 
ldap I believe.  If you want to send me the details of what you need, more 
info of the ldap structure, etc, I can make sure I satisfy the requirements.

If you mean using shib to protect the grouper UI, there is a wiki about it.  
If you mean exposing Grouper data to be used as shib attributes, I think we 
are in development for that

You will be able to configure the LDAP loader job via the UI, you configure 
the ldappc with a config file once, and then when you create new groups they 
go to ldap automatically...
