How to connect to apache-answer-incubator through Ldap for authentication? And how to use the plugin created in the authentication module for login?
I tried creating a plugin on lines of oauth plugin. Couldn't get it to work since I am new to Go language.
This is the ldap plugin I created. How to use this and get it to run?
