> The Java Broker can already authenticate users against an LDAP compatible directory. It should also be able to use the same information source as a source of group information too.
> The authentication provide needs to accept optional attributes governing where the group information will be found:
> {{groupSearchContext}} - the base entry for the role search. If not specified, the search base is the top-level directory context.
> {{groupSearchFilter}} - the LDAP search filter for selecting group entries. A {0} token within the filter will be replaced by the distinguish name of the authenticated user.
> {{groupAttributeName}} - the name of the attribute that contains the name of the role.
> After the authentication provider has successfully bound (authenticated) the user, it should perform a second query for the groups. It should build a {{GroupPrincipal}} for each group to which the user belongs and return this as part of the AuthenticationResult. If the group search attributes are not found, the group search should be skipped.
> A future version if the LDAP Authentication Provider may offer the ability to cache the group results for a DN period of time. This would serve to avoid hitting the Directory several times authentication (it already hits the Directory twice if {{bindWithoutSearch}} is false, this will add a third).
