LDAP username vs. authentication username

[carlsonp]

I've run into the same issue as found previously:

#38

I'm running on the latest master: 4c3b08c

I get the following error:

wkspc:  None
project:  None
RallyRestResponse for Subscription, _stdFormat?: False, _servable: 1  _limit: 1  _served: 0 
RallyRestResponse for User, _stdFormat?: True, _servable: 0  _limit: 0  _served: 0

    return self.__next__()

  File "c:\users\pcarlso\documents\src\rallyresttoolkitforpython\pyral\rallyresp.py", line 304, in __next__

I don't think the suggested code fix was ever included.

carlsonp can you suggest the essential nature of happy path and sad path test that would establish a high degree of confidence that your PR doesn't break anything? That would greatly expedite accepting the PR

I'm not sure if our LDAP servers are configured in some "custom" way. I'm at a large organization so I wouldn't be able to find out. Perhaps it would be better to document this in the code as well as in the documentation on readthedocs? This way if someone else has trouble they have something to go on or try. I don't want to break this for other folks.

For the LDAP installation we have, the rally username is [email protected] but the login username is myname. Below is a modification I made to restapi.py to fix it for our installation.

I added the optional variable username_for_login to the function Rally.__init__().
So, in the call to Rally():

[email protected]
username_for_login=myname

Here is a gitdiff of the changes
