[one-users] extended ldap_auth module

[Daniel Molina Aranda]

Hi Carsten,

You are right, the current implementation assumes the same username. We just
implemented the basic functionality, so this contribution is very useful for
people that want to combine LDAP authentication with OpenNebula in a
extended way, thanks for sharing it with us.

We have added a new section to our website, called "Community Wiki" inside
the Documentation tab. We want this section to be a place to find useful
howtos, configurations or extensions for OpenNebula, build by the community
users. We would be more than happy if you add this extension to this new
section. We are still developing this new wiki but I can create you an
account. If you are interested, just send me a private message.

Thanks again for the contribution.
