             Summary: LDAP Authority: make Group parameters optional
                 Key: CONNECTORS-1749
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1749
             Project: ManifoldCF
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: LDAP authority
            Reporter: Guylaine Bassette


The group parameters are mandatory in MCF, but some LDAP servers don't require such parameters to answer to queries related to a user in order to get back authorization tokens. With such LDAP servers, you therefore do not need to input group related information to have a working search.
 
But there is a negative aspect: there are scenarios where you may NOT know any group related information since it is not needed for those LDAP servers. But since MCF requires these parameters, anything that you put in, in order for MCF to validate the configuration, will be sent to the LDAP server that will generate an error answer because the group parameters are incorrect: Object Not Found Error.
