+The LDAP Authorization plugin allows for StatusNet to handle authorization
+through LDAP.
+
+Installation
+============
+add "addPlugin('ldapAuthorization',
+ array('setting'=>'value', 'setting2'=>'value2', ...);"
+to the bottom of your config.php
+
+You *cannot* use this plugin without the LDAP Authentication plugin
+
+Settings
+========
+provider_name*: name of the LDAP authentication provider that this plugin works with.
+authoritative (false): should this plugin be authoritative for
+ authorization?
+uniqueMember_attribute ('uniqueMember')*: the attribute of a group
+ that lists the DNs of its members
+roles_to_groups: array that maps StatusNet roles to LDAP groups
+ some StatusNet roles are: moderator, administrator, sandboxed, silenced
+login_group: if this is set to a group DN, only members of that group will be
+ allowed to login
+
+The below settings must be exact copies of the settings used for the
+ corresponding LDAP Authentication plugin.
+
+host*: LDAP server name to connect to. You can provide several hosts in an
+ array in which case the hosts are tried from left to right.

+bindpw: Password for the binddn.
+ See http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.networking.net-ldap2.connecting.php

+
+* required
+default values are in (parenthesis)
