Authenticate a user against an LDAP directory
Useful for Windows Active Directory and other LDAP-based organisations
to maintain a single password across the organisation.
Optionally authenticates only if a member of a given group in the directory.
By default, the person must have registered with Friendica using the normal registration
procedures in order to have a Friendica user record, contact, and profile.
However, it's possible with an option to automate the creation of a Friendica basic account.
Note when using with Windows Active Directory: you may need to set TLS_CACERT in your site
ldap.conf file to the signing cert for your LDAP server.
The configuration options for this module may be set in the config/addon.ini.php file
e.g.:
[ldapauth]

// admin dn - optional - only if ldap server dont have anonymous access
ldap_binddn = cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com
// admin password - optional - only if ldap server dont have anonymous access
