Description

When groups are synchronised with a big LDAP organisation many empty groups may end up in Tikiwiki.

This enhancement / patch adds an option to let the administrator of a tikiwiki instance decide whether during synchronisation of groups only the user assignments to existing groups will be done or if non-existent groups will be created in tikiwiki.

The default behaviour - as of now - is that when a LDAP user logs in all the groups he belongs to will be created in tikiwiki and he is being added as a member of these groups.

This enhancement adds the preference "ldap_create_groups_tiki" which is "y" by default - which corresponds to the current behaviour.

If "ldap_create_groups_tiki" is set to "n" and a LDAP user logs in the group synchronisation process will silently ignore groups that exist in LDAP but not in tikiwiki. Existing groups will be synced, though.
