[Koha] LDAP sync

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Ian,

I am not aware of an existing script, although the new REST API for 
patrons should be helpful in the future.

I also found a bug that could be interesting to you and is currently 
waiting to be tested:

*Bug 11808* 
<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11808> - When 
searching for a cardnumber in the intranet, also try to search for it on 
the LDAP server if one is configured

Hope this helps,

Katrin
