Issue

It is not possible to use a custom version of the modules/Users/authentication/LDAPAuthenticate/LDAPAuthenticateUser.php file to allow custom logic in user authentication.

Possible Fix

Allow use custom/modules/Users/authentication/LDAPAuthenticate/LDAPAuthenticateUser.php if exists.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

1. Create `custom/modules/Users/authentication/LDAPAuthenticate/LDAPAuthenticateUser.php`  file with modified authentication logic.
2. Attempt to authenticate a user using the custom logic. 
3. Observe that the custom logic is not applied.

Context

We need to implement custom authentication logic for ours SuiteCRM instances, specifically related to how users are authenticated via LDAP. The current setup does not allow for a straightforward way to modify the LDAPAuthenticateUser.php file without directly altering the core system, which is undesirable for maintainability and upgrade paths.
