Bug Description

Hi,

the current functionality of users_ldap consists of authenticating users, creating new user accounts in OpenERP at that moment. However, users usually need specific group permissions or employee records to actually do anything useful. It would be useful if the user account could be created before the user's first login, so that their OpenERP user account can be preconfigured. This allows the new user to get started right away.

I suggest an option to populate the OpenERP user base with new users found in the configured LDAP. This method could be called from the LDAP configuration screen or in a scheduled task.

Cheers,
Stefan.
