User authentication

On corporate intranets the central authentication of users is commonly handled by an LDAP directory. Various authentication means are available, such as a username / password combination or a X.509 certificate. With the Json2Ldap ldap.simpleBind call a JavaScript app can now make authentication requests straight from the browser.
