Bug 7973- Allow for new type of LDAP authentication
This patch aims to solve the LDAP bind authentication method. Here are
some considerations:
- This is a standalone patch, so all the previous submitted ones are
rendered obsolete;
- LDAP bind authentication is now done in 3 steps:
1 - LDAP anonymous bind;
2 - LDAP search entry for the given username;
3 - LDAP bind with the DN of the found entry + the given password.
- The process fails if none or more than 1 entries are found for the
given username;
- The <principal_name> setting in koha-conf.xml isn't used anymore;
- The patch is backwards compatible, so users already using the
previously implemented LDAP bind authentication should be able to use
it the same.
