Details
The PR adds just-in-time user synchronization. When a user attempts to log in and no matching user exists, an LDAP query is made in an attempt to fetch said user. The user is stored locally if successfully fetched.
A new setting (Sync users just-in-time) has been added to the LDAP source to enable and disable this functionality. An additional setting (User just-in-time search filter) has also been added to give the admins some control over how the query is made.
The functionality is useful for authentik deployments that want to get users from very large LDAP systems, where doing a full sync is an expensive operation. Using this feature, users can be synced as they first log in, which results in much lower load.
The changes should be fully backwards-compatible. No new requirements are introduced. The documentation has also been updated.
The PR is loosely based on #10441.
closes #5764
closes #8080
