Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

There aren't many good options when it comes to opensource chat for teams. Mattermost is restricting features in favour of pushing enterprise. Zulip & rocket chat are decent alternatives. Teams & Slack are proprietary. XMPP & IRC are dated and have various drawbacks.

Describe the solution you'd like

If spacebar was able to include LDAP support it could expand the userbase beyond "just a discord alternative" to a full slack/teams alternative too. It could be great for furthering adoption among more technical people which might bring in further code contributions also.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Noted in first answer. There just aren't any "great" options in this specific space.

Additional context

Pretty please!
