Description

Noticed that impacket relay to LDAP was generating information about the domain in multiple formats including JSON - got my hopes up that this would import into BloodHound, and was disappointed to find it was not compatible. Would be super handy if an initial relay to LDAP could immediately be imported into BloodHound.

Research direction
Investigate the existing LDAP export functionality in Impacket, likely in `impacket/examples/ldap.py` or similar files. Understand the current JSON output format and compare with BloodHound's expected JSON schema for nodes and edges. Review BloodHound's documentation for the import format. Possibly examine comments in the issue for additional context. Implement a transformation or new export function that maps LDAP data to BloodHound compatible JSON.
