docs(admin): warn about Configuration Active before LDAP testing
Add a warning block before the "Testing the configuration" section to highlight that Configuration Active must be enabled under the Advanced tab before testing. Without it authentication fails with a misleading "wrong password" error even when all other settings are correct. Fixes #912 Signed-off-by: skjnldsv <skjnldsv@protonmail.com>
