Add a warning block before the "Testing the configuration" section to highlight that Configuration Active must be enabled under the Advanced tab before testing. Without it authentication fails with a misleading "wrong password" error even when all other settings are correct. Fixes #912 Signed-off-by: skjnldsv <skjnldsv@protonmail.com>

Summary
LDAP authentication silently fails with "wrong password" when Configuration Active is
not enabled, even if all other settings are correct. This checkbox lives under the Advanced
tab and is off by default — it's easy to miss and can waste hours of troubleshooting.
Added a
.. warning::block at the top of the "Testing the configuration" section tosurface this requirement before the user clicks Test Configuration.
