(RADIATOR) Radiator and Active Directory

hi gavin,

and that approach sends the usernames/passwords in clear-text over the 
wire, from the Radiator boxes to port 3268 on the AD boxes

which is not the worst thing in the world to do.  but which gives my 
security colleagues the heebie-jeebies when i mention it to them

-do you have any ideas on how to encrypt that path way?

-and, conceptually, what are you doing with 'ldap_groups.pl'?  i'm 
wanting to better understand what kind of fancy decision-making i can 
implement using hooks, and i'm guessing that you're doing something 
fancy here
