Booksonic-Air LDAP Authentication through Booksonic App

[BrandonG777]

Problem description

Since upgrading to Booksonic-Air I am unable to authenticate using LDAP through the Booksonic Android App. I can use LDAP credentials on the webserver itself, just not through the app.

Steps to reproduce

1. Try to log in using LDAP credentials from the Booksonic App

A workaround for this will be available in the 2202 version of the app. To enable it, in the app go to the servers settings and check "Force password in API calls". I will be publishing the first beta release of 2202 in the public beta later tonight, the code is already on GitHub

The workaround is to force the app to use password instead of token in the API calls. I will leave this issue open until a real fix is available.
