Would we not just run an ldap server? Its an open

Hi everyone
I've been asked to add a contacts database to a mediawiki site so that users
can search for contacts. It will be a simple database. I have no idea how to
start this. Do i just create a contacts database on the mysql server? And
then add a search box?
I'm very new to MediaWiki but enjoying every minute of using it.
Thanks Mak.
