Description
It would be useful for configuring external authentication if you could test it from within the page.
Just needs to be user/pass dialog where you can enter the credentials of a user and it will show you the result of the authentication request.
In addition it would be nice if you could see whether the user is recognized as an admin or not, and it would be fantastic if we could see the verbose log of the authentication component as well (it would make LDAP setup so much easier).

Start from the external authentication configuration page and trace how it sends authentication requests. The requested result should include a credential dialog, authentication outcome, admin recognition, and verbose authentication-component logging, but the issue does not name files or tests.
