LDAP export is implemented as a model listener. However, because LDAP is an external system, response times are not guaranteed.

While it is understandable that you want to wait until the LDAP export completes before returning from a contact or user gorup update (similar to reindexing), the LDAP export, like indexing, should not cause the transaction to fail if it takes a long time.
