Probably to "Best authentication method available".

The LDAP settings are used in many places, so it doesn't make sense to  
put them into the Authentication tab. Beside that, it has been for the  
Kolab admins' convenience that all settings are gathered in one place,  
so that they don't have to click through too many places to finish the  
configuration.
