Title: The plugin now handles Authentication via Proxy and Authorisation via LDAP

The Authorization is done via LDAP based on the information entered in the advanced section of the HTTP Reverse Proxy HEADERS. The users no longer need to inform a header for the groups.

The plugin changed because currently the embedded Winstone has a limit on the HEADER size to 4 kilobytes. So, when the information in the header fields is larger than that, the groups are truncated and the authorization does not work in the way it should.

If the user does not want to use LDAP for authorisation, only the User Header can be informed. In that case, all the fields in the advanced section can be left empty.
