Summary	0006771: LDAP - Allow auth not to require dedicated LDAP account
Description	It would be nice for LDAP authentication not to require that there be a dedicated account that Mantis uses to log into the LDAP server. In my set-up, I'm using LDAP to authenticate against an Active Directory server, so the whole auth process should be doable using the credentials provided by the end-user. AD allows users to bind as 'username@ad.example.com'. I'm willing to work on code to do this, I'd just like to know if it's likely to be accepted.
Tags	No tags attached.

The question is whether the user account would have access to all the data required by MantisBT which is currently accessible through the service account.
