It is a bit complicated to set up LDAP, but if you have an LDAP database
setup you can use it for the database for the default UserDB profile.
Then if you have fields you want to store locally, you can set them
in with:

UserDB default outboard <<EOO
    userdb:address1
    userdb:address2
    ...
EOO

This would be complicated, but can be done for I have done it. If you
are not an LDAP and IC expert, you might consider engaging a competent
consultant to help you, for I doubt that many people on the list have
experience with it.
