Yes its how I started (ldap+radius( But it depends what you want to do.
- If you want to have nice display in softphone (or hardware phone with
LCD) of global system phonebook and/or private phonebook - I'm sorry, no vendor is supporting this. I was trying to convince few videophone manufacturers to support XML or SOAP, but there are other reasons they won't do it now (they all go proprietary).
Actually this is not completely true: Snom phone support since firmware release 5.0 some basic LDAP connections to M$ Exchange servers. Allthough I have to admit that I never tested it, I would say this some kind of standard.

- If you want to just implement a SIP-like phonebook functionality,
like "you hook-off, you press # and number of phonebook entry and system dials for you", then voila. You can do it yourself. Just write clever SER module, or PHP script and use Ldap.

Hi, I am using SER with centralized LDAP backend which is accessed by RADIUS. Maybe it could work out for you. Jose Simoes

Hello Joao, I'm using SER and Asterisks-based system, with centralized LDAPbackend. To access LDAP I use SOAP and DSML.This is now used for every provisioning/management/billing/ivr activity in the system. In future I plan to have centralized phonebook based in LDAP.
I think that having centralized LDAP directory and accessing it from clients via SOAP/XML is a best option. If security is an issue,SOAP/XML Digital Signature and Encryption could be used here.
Maybe we will live until times when hardware vendors will supportSOAP clients in their phones, or at least XML browsers or some sort of thin clients. I see SNOM is doing something in XML - maybe worth checking.
I think that will be the soft-phone manufacturers that will firstadapt idea of central phonebook, based on SOAP message exchanges with centralized LDAP directory servers.
