LDAP Authentication using compare() method

Registered by mrhearn

Scenario:
Enterprise utilises a centralised LDAP Direcory for SSO purposes. User management (creation, update, deletion etc... ) realised via LDAP BUI app. Keystone configured to authenticate against the Enterprise LDAP directory (read-only mode).

To:
i. minimise ldap traffic
ii. simplify the authentication process
iii. add flexability - giving an Enterprise the choice of authentication methods, specifically where internal security standards specify

...can a switch (e.g. in conf file) and additional updates to python code be made enabling keystone to use the compare() or bind() methods for authentication purposes.

Whiteboard

While COMPARE is a bit better in some cases - this would a) need a spec, and b) need more discussion for compatibility/usability. In general I'd like to move towards federated authentication.
