Forward LDAP based SSO identity via an HTTP header (like REMOTE_USER)

[thom4parisot]

Hello there,

Some SSO providers — which can be LDAP-based — provide a REMOTE_USER HTTP header, after a user has authed on a given portal.

For example, Django provides two middlewares to plug into this system. Once a user has logged in, the LDAP app detects the username, and proceeds to the 1) user creation and/or 2) logs the user in the app.

Is there any chance this can be provided by omniauth-ldap?
Unless it is more relevant to request this in a more relevant repo.

Let me know, and thanks for providing this plugin :-)
