Request to require login from LDAP

[lightswitch05]

I'm greatly interested in this project, however it will only be useful to me if it requires a Login. I'm more then happy to write the login code myself and submit a pull request, but would like to discus the change first.

Just got done looking through the Code Igniter wiki for any Authentication tools... there are many. But it doesn't look like any of them support LDAP. LDAP is a must for me as no one will use it if they have to create and manage a new password. My thoughts is to have a very-long expiration time set on the cookie so that logging in and out wouldn't be a regular step.

Anyways, is this an optional feature you would want for Stikked? Is there any particular authentication tools you would want to include? Is this something you might consider adding, or should I create a fork?

Thanks for the input.

Thanks for your interest! I have found this: http://www.techrockdo.com/projects/auth_ldap - maybe useful? Haven't testet it ;)

I want to keep Stikked open for everyone (except for spammers ;)); one should be able to publish text very quickly without hassle. So any login-mechanism would break that philosophy.

However, I would really appreciate if you could write the code by yourself. Maybe we could implement a plugin-system somehow and offer LDAP auth as a module? Or you can just create a fork and I can put a link to your fork in the README.md
