-The LDAP configuration array
-============================
-
-
-The LDAP configuration array is used in all of the LDAP based authentication modules. 
-
-We distinguish between two modes of deciding the DN of the user.
-
-  1. Search for DN by userid attribute, usually `eduPersonPrincipalName`.
-  2. Decide the DN based on a known pattern and then filling in the username.
