The LDAP Authorization plugin allows for StatusNet to handle authorization
through LDAP.

Installation
============

    array('setting'=>'value', 'setting2'=>'value2', ...);"
to the bottom of your config.php

You *cannot* use this plugin without the LDAP Authentication plugin

authoritative (false): should this plugin be authoritative for
    authorization?

    that lists the DNs of its members
