LDAP support

Model

An account on a BOINC project can optionally have an "external authorizer" (EA), described by

• authorizer type: e.g. LDAP, OpenAuth
• authorizer URL
• authorizer account ID

Projects can support one or more EAs; this is exported in get_project_config.php.

If a user creates an EA account, they shouldn't be aware of a separate BOINC account.

if an account has an EA, user can remove it, after which they have to login with password.

if an account doesn't have an EA, user can add it.
