Sure - I suppose for now we can leave those five(!) input fields as 
free-form text input.

The fifth (or, the first, if you consider the positioning) is the 
ldap:/// URI segment, which is scheme+server address.

Later on, perhaps, we could make scope a select list (base, one, sub), 
and make building a filter more of a dialogue or something.

There's usually a "test this filter" preview of what the list of 
members is going to look like.

I suppose obtaining the LDAP object for the group is very light, and 
paginated (UI) VLV/Sort controlled (API) searches could be used for 
large result sets.

Yes, I've been wanting to do this myself as well - notably groups and 
roles.
