I am not aware of such a document.
Did you try searching the wiki and the mailing archives?

The South African company Codefusion (which does not exist anymore for other 
reasons) did a couple of projects coupling AD and Kolab Server, that is were 
the source code came from, it probably needs a retest. There was a 
proprietary product claiming to couple Kolab Server and AD once, but I had no 
experience with it.

At the core Active Directory is a directory server also offering LDAP. 
Kolab Server can be coupled with many directory servers that speak LDAP, you 
need to put in the additional attributes, make sure you get triggered on 
changes and decide which management interface to use. (That is the basic 
work-schedule for such a project.)
