pluggable authentication mechanism

[gtmtech]

Hi @somlor ,

I became interested in this quite recently, and its great work so far! I have a need to integrate it into LDAP, so I was thinking of taking a fork, and changing the authentication mechanism to use devise which can be plugged in LDAP if necessary. Or alternatively, I could require a suitable LDAP gem, and integrate it manually. Do you have a preferred approach and would you accept a PR with this functionality? Thanks

This is ultimately a decision for @somlor to make, but my vote would go for the omniauth/devise approach. It's well-known, standardized, and allows authentication against just about anything.
