[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup 3/4] access: ldap check connection on creation and change

[Stefan Sterz]

this commit makes the ldap realm endpoints check whether a new or
updated configuration works correctly. it uses the new
`check_connection` function to make sure that a configuration can be
successfully used to connect to and query an ldap directory.

doing so allows us to significantly relax the ldap domain regex.
instead of relying on a regex to make sure that a given distinguished
name (dn) could be correct, we simply let the ldap directory tell us
whether it accepts it. this should also aid with usability as a dn
that looks correct could still be invalid.

the chosen regex still tries to make sure that what is provided as a
dn resembles one structurally. however, it does not impose strict
limits on what attribute values or types can look like.

this also implicitly removes unauthenticated binds, since the new
`ccheck_connection` function does not support those. it will simply
bail out of the check if a `bind_dn` but no password is configured.
therefore, this is a breaking change.
