- Introduced a new Containerfile to build a MariaDB image with direct LDAP PAM support.
- Implemented a custom PAM module (`pam_ldap_direct.so`) built from the PADL source to avoid dependencies on `libpam-ldap` and `nslcd`.
- Updated the entrypoint script to dynamically generate the PAM configuration file (`/etc/pam_ldap.conf`) based on environment variables.
- Added a README.md to document the image usage, configuration, and build process.
- Created a test suite to validate the image build and entrypoint behavior, ensuring proper handling of environment variables and configuration generation.
- Configured health checks and ensured the stock MariaDB entrypoint and lifecycle are preserved.
