Item1805: Foswiki Validation Method 'none' doesn't work propperly

When saving a topic, Foswiki dies in an infinite rewrite loop requesting Confirmation, even thought we set Validation to 'none':

$Foswiki::cfg{Validation}{Method} = 'none';

We authenticate against Ldap using:

• LoginManager: LdapApacheLogin
• PasswordManager: LdapPasswdUser
• UserMappingManager: LdapUserMapping

Proposed patch from Babar:

Looks reasonable.
