Of course, don't worry. OpenLDAP (not openLDAP) supports millions,
billions and trillions!

If you're already using it you must have asked yourself these
questions already? What are you trying to do so we can help explain
the options?
Our requirement is still evolving and authentication is going to be
quite complex. We might have groups and groups can have roles/subroles(i.e. a role called
doctor can access as a physician and can access as a admin too). Based on which role user
belongs we want to show personalized screens.
Thanks.
