make ldap authentication work

authorization is still missing -> people can login but can't really
do anything. It seems like we should add a group for members to ldap
and authorize the matching django group to be allowed to edit news,
projects, and so on.

Maybe there is a better solution, which I did not see?
Also, there is probably a better code for the populate_user handler
I placed in accounts/models.py
