LDAP sync

[shahar3012]

Hi,
I believe it will be great to have a way to sync user inforamtion such as display name and avatar (image) from the Active Directory.

This feature has to do ldap queries to fetch the user data.
The data fetching can be done when the user is connected to Rocket.Chat for the first time after the authentication - SSO and auto creation of users.

Also, there should be some settings for the LDAP connection and an option to choose the query field (for example sAMAccountName, userPrincipalName) in a text input.

What help is required with this?

I'm not familiar with JS and Meteor but I've worked with quite a bit of LDAP.

Depends on #222

@rodrigok you've done some work on LDAP lately. Was this issue approached? Can we close it?

[rodrigok]

We are not retrieving any data from LDAP for user profile.
