Ldap user provider does not translate group name into gid

Description

If you use the ldap user provider and specify the group by name, it will fail because ldap requires a number, not a name.

The provider should convert the name to a number by querying the db, and it will need to be smart enough to return a name instead of a number when appropriate.

Probably, the type/provider interface should just be expanded to support methods for converting either way.
