Hello,

At our company we developed an LDAPHook based on the open-ldap library (using 
the python-ldap wrapper dependency), which allows us to executed search queries 
on our ldap and use that data in our DAG's to do further processing on it.

The reason why I wrote this hook is because I've first searched through the 
airflow repo and didn't find a provider and thus no hook for it.
The only thing I could find was this ldap reference in the following document:

https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/3e2b5e2f54ea3b3695e6576313f87460fb098830/docs/apache-airflow/extra-packages-ref.rst#L64

So my question is, would there be acceptance to introduce an (open)ldap 
provider in Airflow which offers a Hook and LDAP conn type?

At the moment our implementation only offers a search functionality which 
behind the scenes does a paged lookup for given base, filter, attributes, scope 
and page_size, which for us was sufficient in what we wanted to achieve, but 
that could of course be expanded with more functionality if needed.

Kind regards,
David
