[GSoC] ldap plugin drop in ldapplugin branch

[Sebastien Goasguen <ru...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Thanks to Ian for a great ldap plugin. 

There is now a ldapplugin feature branch which contains his latest code. Folks can test that branch and provide review.

Once ready we will start a merge thread to put it in 4.3

Cool, it is in a working state from the testing I've done. The code
itself is still very much so a work in progress, it needs a bit of a
cleanup. Reviewing the codebase at this time might be inefficient
usage of your time as changes will be made to clean it up, I'm
completely open to feedback though!

Thanks Ian for taking up the ldap challenge and delivering on it.

Over next couple of days I will try to play with it. I will request others
to try this out and provide feedback.

Best,

Great work Ian!

For anybody wanting to test...

Configuration is done at the global settings page, search there for
"ldap" and you'll see all the common attributes between ldap servers.

The defaults are set to work with OpenLDAP for active directory just
change the userObject to user and usernameAttribute to samAccountName.

SSL support has yet to be added.

Multiple server support exists but I'm having a slight issue with the
JNDI handling connections to the servers. If a server is down it won't
remember this servers state, so each time a connection is made and the
server is down a 1 second time out occurs before it moves to the next
one. If anybody can provide suggestions on fixing that I'm all ears...
