LDAP Authentication

I would love to see a feature added where you could create a user, and instead of giving them a password, you check a box for ldap authentication. You would need some ldap config somewhere else where you can add multiple servers and paths to search through for the user auth.

This would be very handy for larger business/institutions where we have lots of CMS users and we already have a AD or E-DIR or similar user directory using LDAP. We still create the users in savvy, but just allow the user to authenticate using their existing user/pass.

Would be nice to see a notification somewhere too if a user in savvy is no longer found in the LDAP directory. Help you keep user permissions up to date.

Just an idea.
