[Owncloud] Simpler LDAP auth

[Wogan May]

Hi Frank,

That might be a good idea, actually :) I'll see if I can get it uploaded a
little later today.

Maybe I should have introduced myself a little first - Hi, my name is
Wogan, I'm from South Africa, with a few years PHP & MySQL experience, and
I'm a senior developer at Acceleration eMarketing. We're using ownCloud in
an enterprise context - our users have network shares mounted as drives,
and I'm working to expose a web-based version of that. So I'll be doing a
lot in terms of automated smbmounts, AD auth integration and branding.

Regards,
*Wogan May*
