Plugin breaks application if LDAP parameters are not configured

[brainchild0]

I have activated the plugin in a fresh installation of the application.

I had not set LDAP parameters in the configuration file.

Presently, the application is inoperable, with the following message appearing in the browser window when access is attempted to the administrative portal:

Invalid configuration for YOURLS LDAP plugin. Check PHP error log.

Furthermore, the server logs show the following message:

[<timestamp>] [proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 26728:tid 139750678345472] [remote <host_addr>:38188] AH01071: Got error ＇PHP message: Missing defined parameter LDAPAUTH_HOST in plugin ＇

Because I currently have no working LDAP server, I wish to use the application without LDAP.

I had intended to operate the application with no LDAP server configured but the plugin installed anyway. However, it appears that such a case is not supported. Worse, removal of the plugin is impossible through the administrative portal, because the portal is not functional.

Based on observations, the plugin destroys application function unless it is configured properly.

I suggest that the behavior represents a design flaw. The application should function with the plugin installed even without proper configuration of an LDAP server.

As a further matter, I wish for advice deactivated the plugin given the current predicament.
