You would need to use gateways specifically designed to work with LDAP
- look in the LDAP source distribution for possibilities.

As you mentioned Solaris-2.5 I think ISODE-8.0 will be heavy going.
You need a more recent version, and you may well qualify for a free or
low-cost licence for the ISODE Consortium version. Contact
ic-info@isode.com for details.

That is very unlikely to work. The LDAP distribution provides a way
for LDAP clients to access DAP (full X.500) services. I dont think
anyone has written a gateway to go the other way.
For maximum flexibility I would reccommend running a real X.500
directory server and an LDAP access daemon.
