[Koha-patches] [PATCH] LDAP overhaul

Allow replicate and update to be zero.
Break out logic into separate subs.
Do only one bind attempt depending on setting, instead of
necessarily failing first before trying auth_by_bind.

POD added for active directory and to document permutations of
behavior given different conditions.  Fixed mistaken debug lines
that called "print STDERR printf ...", i.e. printed the line to output
and "1" to the error log.  Added principal_name feature for generating
bind user from Koha userid.

+=head1 CONFIGURATION
+
+Once a user has been accepted by the LDAP server, there are several possibilities for how Koha will behave, depending on 
+your configuration and the presence of a matching Koha user in your local DB:
+
+                         LOCAL_USER
+ OPTION UPDATE REPLICATE  EXISTS?  RESULT
+   A1      1       1        1      OK : We're updating them anyway.
+   A2      1       1        0      OK : We're adding them anyway.
+   B1      1       0        1      OK : We update them.
+   B2      1       0        0     FAIL: We cannot add new user.
+   C1      0       1        1      OK : We do nothing.  (maybe should update password?)
+   C2      0       1        0      OK : We add the new user.
+   D1      0       0        1      OK : We do nothing.  (maybe should update password?)
+   D2      0       0        0     FAIL: We cannot add new user.
+
+Note: failure here just means that Koha will fallback to checking the local DB.  That is, a given user could login with
+their LDAP password OR their local one.  If this is a problem, then you should enable update and supply a mapping for 
+password.  Then the local value will be updated at successful LDAP login and the passwords will be synced.
+
+If you choose NOT to update local users, the borrowers table will not be affected at all.
+Note that this means that patron passwords may appear to change if LDAP is ever disabled, because
+the local table never contained the LDAP values.  
+
+=head2 auth_by_bind
+
+Binds as the user instead of retrieving their record.  Recommended if update disabled.
+
+=head2 principal_name
+
+Provides an optional sprintf-style format for manipulating the userid before the bind.
+Even though the userPrincipalName is one intended target, any uniquely identifying
+attribute that the server allows to be used for binding could be used.
+
+Currently, principal_name only operates when auth_by_bind is enabled.
+
+=head2 Active Directory 
+
+The auth_by_bind and principal_name settings are recommended for Active Directory.
+
+Under default Active Directory rules, we cannot determine the distinguishedName attribute from the Koha userid as reliably as
+we would typically under openldap.  Instead of:
+
+    distinguishedName: CN=barnes.7,DC=my_company,DC=com
+
+We might get:
+
+    distinguishedName: CN=Barnes\, Jim,OU=Test Accounts,OU=User Accounts,DC=my_company,DC=com
+
+Matching that would require us to know more info about the account (firstname, surname) and to include punctuation and whitespace
+in Koha userids.  But the userPrincipalName should be consistent, something like:
+
+    userPrincipalName: barnes.7 at my_company.com
+
+Therefore it is often easier to bind to Active Directory with userPrincipalName, effectively the
+canonical email address for that user, or what it would be if email were enabled for them.  If Koha userid values 
+will match the username portion of the userPrincipalName, and the domain suffix is the same for all users, then use principal_name
+like this:
+    <principal_name>%s at core.my_company.com</principal_name>
+
+The user of the previous example, barnes.7, would then attempt to bind as:
+    barnes.7 at core.my_company.com
