+# Allows for easily authenticated users via LDAP (or LDAPS).  If authenticated
+# via LDAP to a server running on localhost, you should only have to configure
+# the login_format.
+#
+# Can be configured using the following accessors (with examples):
+# * login_format = '%s@domain.com' # Active Directory, OR
+# * login_format = 'cn=%s,cn=users,o=organization,c=us' # Other LDAP servers
+# * servers = ['dc1.domain.com', 'dc2.domain.com'] # names/addresses of LDAP servers to use
+# * use_ssl = true # for logging in via LDAPS
+# * port = 3289 # instead of 389 for LDAP or 636 for LDAPS
+# * logger = RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER # for logging authentication successes/failures
+#
+# The class is used as a global variable, you are not supposed to create an
+# instance of it. For example:
