+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.
+
+The person must have registered with Friendika using the normal registration
+procedures in order to have a Friendika user record, contact, and profile.
+
+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 required configuration options for this module may be set in the .htconfig.php file
+e.g.:
+
+$a->config['ldapauth']['ldap_server'] = 'host.example.com';
+...etc.
