The current method for instigating the LDAP authentication script relies upon instigating additional scheduled tasks from Moodle's core cron.php. This method works fine in many environments but in order to be triggered externally of the server with a dynamic config file for multiple tenancy Moodle installations will cause issues.

By creating a Moodle Core task we are able to add this to the scheduled task list also unifying the behaviour and structure throughout another scheduled task.
