> In some cases the KnoxLdapRealm will not work unless the KnoxLdapContextFactory is also configured.  In particular the use of an ${ALIAS=...} in the >main.ldapRealm.contextFactory.systemPassword param.  As this is such a common and important use cases the KnoxLdapContextFactory should be included in all default topology files, all sample topology files and all documented topology files.
> The snippet below shows what needs to be added to the topology files.
