Bug Description

Request for enhancements from client:

* There really, really needs to be better Active Directory integration.

* Apparently, you can either have AD auth OR landscape accounts, but not both. And using AD apparently requires messing with PAM - albeit the instructions seems straightforward.

* My issue is, with no "local" admin account, what happens if AD is unavailable?

* And AD integration should be a gui-fied process, not a CLI/Manual/PAM process.

* It'd be nice to allow AD groups as administrators, for instance, instead of individual accounts.

* In our enterprise, these features are nearly essential.

We implemented AD authentication in CODENERIX long time ago, and we could log in indistinctly as usual users or through AD. Could we be facing a permission problem?

CODENERIX's authentication backend is here (it has been written for work on Django's authentication backend):
