Configuration - Tried setting up custom LDAP configuration in charts/grafana/values.yaml

## LDAP Authentication can be enabled with the following values on grafana.ini
## NOTE: Grafana will fail to start if the value for ldap.toml is invalid
  auth.ldap:
    enabled: true
    allow_sign_up: true
    config_file: /etc/grafana/ldap.toml

## Grafana's LDAP configuration
## Templated by the template in _helpers.tpl
## NOTE: To enable the grafana.ini must be configured with auth.ldap.enabled

I was able to fix this adding ldap-toml as a secrets.
