Description

Currently there are only two choices of UserDatabase implementations in core JSPWiki: XMLUserDatabase and JDBCUserDatabase.

There seem to be a bunch of JSPWiki users out there using LDAP as the User Registry, in most cases a container managed implementation, which has some limitations.

This issue asks for an LDAPUserDatabase that extends AbstractUserDatabase and should better integrate with JSPWiki.
For instance, we should be able to not only read the LDAP, but also write to the LDAP.
Like JDBCUserDatabase, LDAPUserDatabase is better suitable for larger scale implementations where running multiple wiki's using the same LDAP user registry.

Please add any other requirements here too !
