[pve-devel] [PATCH common/access-control v2 0/5] improve LDAP DN and bind creds checking on creation/change

[Christoph Heiss <c.heiss@proxmox.com>]

tl;dr implements the result of the discussion in [0].

First, this removes the dreaded LDAP DN regex, replacing it instead with
a proper schema format, which does validation using
Net::LDAP::Util::canonical_dn().

Further, upon saving a LDAP realm in the UI, it tries to connect & bind
using the provided credentials, providing the user with immediate
feedback whether they are valid or not.

The same approach is already implemented in PBS [1].

Changes were tested against slapd 2.5.13+dfsg-5.
