Description

LDAP authentication is currently complicated to add in. It needs to be simplified. Here are some useful changes:
-update conf.php to automatically configure additional arrays
-add a parameter to the authMechs array for looking up the full DN of a user so that authenciation.php does not need to be modified
-simplify places that set the skin based off of the affiliation

Sub-Tasks

• API LDAP authentication problem with servers where DN must be looked up: Resolved
