Ability to Customize LDAP integration about kafka-webview HOT 2 OPEN

A good example would be - https://github.com/yahoo/kafka-manager/blob/f3823469537d577f2b1a32455b5cb32cd826a95c/app/controllers/BasicAuthenticationFilter.scala#L63-L94

It expects you to provide full search string and just checks if user was found by the search string u provided and verifies pw, simple and works with all ldap versions and configuration types

An example search query would be:

base: dc=MYDC,dc=com
search: (&(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=xx)(memberOf=CN=X,OU=Groups,DC=MYDC,DC=com))

Unfortunately my knowledge of LDAP is extremely limited, and not having a direct use case to develop against makes it difficult for me to put together a proper generic solution to this. The solution that currently exists is based on SpringBoot's out of the box support for LDAP authentication.

That said I'd love to include such functionality, and would encourage any outside contributions to help make the integration more usable/robust
