[Owncloud] Simpler LDAP auth

[Frank Karlitschek]

Hi Wogan,

thats awesome. 

We have to rework the ldap integration anyways for the next version. 

You can put your work into the "apps" repository so that others can try it and contribute.
https://gitorious.org/owncloud/apps

What do you think?

Cheers
Frank
