Description

Maintainer: @flyn-org
Environment: ARMv7 Rev. 1 in Turris Omnia with OpenWrt 19.07 via Turris OS 5.4

Description:
OpenWrt does have a package for OpenLDAP, and this one for MIT Kerberos. However, the LDAP backend for the KDC server was removed (to save space).
According to the package Makefile, such functionality should be added as separate package if needed.

Please add the LDAP backend for krb5 as plugin package.

Research direction

Start by reading the krb5 package Makefile linked in the issue and the repository's CONTRIBUTING.md. Determine how the existing MIT Kerberos package is split, then define the separate LDAP-backend package so it can be built independently; done means the package is represented in the OpenWrt packages tree and follows the repository's submission requirements.
