LDAP attribute sync via user bind

In order to get user attributes out a an LDAP server, right now the only option is performing an admin user bind, since, as Stefan Meyer explains in this mantis ticket "Unfortunately PEAR LDAP (ILIAS-LDAP is based on PEAR LDAP) does not read any LDAP attributes if the bind user is "anonymous" and "anonymous" does not have the permission to read user related data."

1 Requirements

We would suggest implementing a different approach for the LDAP user authentication:
 
a) bind anonymous
b) search for DN of the current user
c) bind as user with DN and password of the current user
d) read additonal attributes of the current user (NEW)
