Joplin server integration with LDAP server

Hello.
Joplin server integration with LDAP server.
Algorithm of implementation:

  1. Add a Nodejs LDAP authentication library
    (example: shaozi/ldap-authentication)

  2. Add to the environment variables:
    LDAP_URL: 'ldap://ldap.example.com'
    adminDn: 'cn=read-only-admin,dc=example,dc=com'
    adminPassword: 'password'
    userSearchBase: 'dc=example,dc=com'
    usernameAttribute: 'uid'

  3. Log in
    3.1. A user enters login and password,
    and then the Joplin server checks if the LDAP environment
    variables are present, and try to connect to the LDAP server.
    3.2. Find the user in the LDAP server and if successful then check if the internal database has the user
    3.3. If the internal database has the user then provide access to the user.
    3.4. if the new user is absent from the Joplin database and needs to create a new one in the Joplin database.
    3.5. Provide access to the user.
    3.6. If the LDAP server is unavailable or has not the user needs to use an internal database.

Let's discuss it.
