Feature request: LDAP integration

[MrDrMcCoy]

Really loving this project so far. Would be nice to have it integrate with LDAP/AD, though.

Thanks for the great feedback @nakedhitman. I definitely can understand wanting to hook into an existing user base. As it's not something I've got access or needs to I don't have it on any roadmap. Making sure that the system for users works, is well tested, and never breaks is a bit chunk of work that I've not really been setup to handle.

I'm leaving this open as if someone really want to look into adding AD support (maybe through velruse support https://velruse.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html) I'm open to the idea, but it really needs someone that cares about the feature to shepherd it.

shouldn't this be as simple as delegating authentication to the webserver, and let that handle various authentication schemes? apache has tons of modules for that...
