=== Description ===
Adding LDAP authentication to sme was easy.
We just needed to add the attribute userPassword to the users entries in the ldap
server and keep them in sync with the passwords stored in /etc/shadow.
For SME 8 only
This allows the use of SME user's database in other applications

Some applications have the possibility to use imap/pop authentication (egroupware, GLPI, maybe others), but some don't offer this possibility, but can use only LDAP. imap/pop isn't as powerful as LDAP as we can only check user/password, whereas with LDAP, we can check other attributes, groups of the user etc.

The other attributes, eg group membership are yet to be added
