      (difficulty: moderate, requires setup of external data sources for auth)
      1. Setup authentification using LDAP.
      2. Check user from external source can login.
      3. Check syncing with auth/ldap/cli/sync_users.php works.
      4. Go to shedule task page, enable LDAP user sync job, set all fields to * to ensure task will start on next cron.
      5. Goto external source and change some user data.
      6. Run cron and ensure, that task runs without errors and user data is updated.
      Repeat for auth_cas.

      Currently moodle administrator that uses auth_db and auth_ldap modules should config cron twice, for regular cron and for syncing users with external source. Converting this tasks to sheduled tasks (disabled by default) will allow to more easily config and execute such task from moodle.
      Is such improvements planned by moodle HQ? Will it be helpfull, if i provide patch?
