[Owncloud] owncloud alpha 1 and LDAP entryUUID

This could be a problem if you change your ldap server, maybe from 
openldap to AD or to Novell. Although the user data are the same (uid, 
mail, etc.), no user will have access to his owncloud data, because the 
UUID, that is internal to the LDAP server, has changed.
The same happens, if you want to restore a deleted user from an LDIF 
file. Unless you are using "slapadd" (this only works if you stop the 
openldap server), an "ldapadd" will recreate the user with a new UUID, 
so that he also loses all his data.
