Description

I hit a problem with LDAP on Linux. It turns out that net/ldap is extremely unreliable when authenticating against the LDAP server at work. I've filed a bug against net/ldap on RubyForge, but since the project seems dormant it's not clear anything will happen.

As a workaround, I coded up a replacement for app/models/auth_source_ldap.rb that uses the Ruby interface to OpenLDAP. So far this has been reliable.

Presumably ruby/ldap works for some people, so it might be nice to offer both as options, but I couldn't immediately work out how to patch RedMine to do that.
