Mailing lists do not work for end user support. I use to suggest 
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/index.php where you find 
many competent users for OpenOffice and all its derivatives. There you 
find tutorials, examples, thousands of answered topics and you can use 
attachments, screenshots, hyperlinks and text formatting.

Write a program to fetch the user-ID, the LDAP record for the given ID 
and then manipulate the XML file which stores the user information. On 
my current Win7 system that is 
%appdata%\LibreOffice\3\user\registrymodifications.xcu with various 
user-data nodes.

You may use the office API for this but for most programmers it is much 
easier to work with ordinary xml parsers, generic ldap access and system 
interfaces.
All database access is configured through so called "database 
documents". They start as mere configuration files with some preview 
capabilities. Such a database document can be accessed through the API. 
The office user settings can be accessed through the API. The user ID 
needs to be read from somewhere else.
