I make a lot of critics about existing software not think for final integration, so when I can I contribute :-)

Seems legit

After a good test & debug step, yes of course.

Here it is. Actually it’s not compatible with the user_ldap and group_ldap plugin (I forgot to rename the classes, my first beta tester has see that) so if user_ldap is enabled, you have a bug when you enable global_ldap.

Usually I develop in C or Objective-C, with a memory context made for « computer » programs, not webapps. So if you are a PHP developer I would like to have your feedback about the PHP object memory life cycle. When different object are created ? At each session ? Do we have memory persistence for class variable between two different clients (so we need to protect memory access) ?

As I say, the actual version is a beta, we need to fix the memory management and the different bug when it’s in the end user hands.

PS: Thinking about a upgrade of user_ldap instead of a new plugin, do you have a update function built-in in your API ? For example, user_ldap is in 0.1, if we put the 0.2, ownCloud is able to see the change and run a specific method in the app to update the database ?
