I develop on OpenGroupware, not SOGo, but both use SOPE's LDAP
library/bindings.  If the DSA supports LDAPv3 binds you shouldn't have
any problems using it.

I'd recommend OpenLDAP any day, as it is far-and-away the faster and
more feature-reach DSA.  But I very much doubt it matters in regards to
SOGo.
