You do not seem to understand.
Multiple tier architecture here means:
Tier 1: GUI or command line frontend
Tier 2: backend on the server
Tier 3: database in ldap

Basically the potentialy mutliple frontend implementations manipulate data in 
the db aka ldap and then the backend is triggered to create the final config 
file, imapd accounts etc.
