🚀 Features

Secure LDAP with TLS:
- Automatically configures TLS certificates for secure communication.
- Provides configurable support for LDAPS on port 636.
phpLDAPadmin Integration:
- Includes a Dockerized phpLDAPadmin setup for easy user and group management.
Healthcheck Support:
- Ensures that the LDAP service is healthy and accessible using ldapsearch.
