FS#1936 config manager disrupts ldap settings

ACL & Authentication

  I have recently upgraded my Dokuwiki installation to "Lemming". I have manually copied the content of 'local.php' from the old installation to the new one with a text editor. I am using LDAP authetication. Authentication was working fine with "Lemming" until I first used the config manager (doku.php?id=start&do=admin&page=config). After storing a change made to the title of the wiki, the LDAP setting for group lookup was disrupted due to inapropriate quoting.
  
  Working LDAP setting:
  
  $conf['auth']['ldap']['mapping']['grps'] = array('memberof'=>'/CN=(.+?),/i');
  
  Disrupted setting after storing with config manager:
  
  $conf['auth']['ldap']['mapping']['grps'] = 'array(\'memberof\'=>\'/CN=(.+?),/i\')';
  
  With the disrupted group lookup nobody can any longer login to the wiki.
  
  Workaround:
  
  All ldap-related settings are stored in 'local.protected.php' where they are not touched by the config manager.

  that's exactly what local.protected.php is meant for.
