I was testing out the GeoServer Authentication
<http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/security/tutorials/ldap/index.html>with
LDAP tutorial, and ran into this issue.
After Step 5 of Map LDAP groups to GeoServer roles
<http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/security/tutorials/ldap/index.html#map-ldap-groups-to-geoserver-roles>,
the users with administrative roles (e.g. bill) do not behave as
administrators, but rather as regular users.
Once restarting GeoServer, the users with administrative roles behave as
administrators, as expected.
Reported as https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOS-7936
I am not quite sure if this a documentation error with the tutorial, or a
regression in the LDAP security settings. If anyone with more experience
using the LDAP provider knows which of these is more likely, your knowledge
would be appreciated.
Note that I was able to reproduce this issue with GeoServer 2.8.3 as well.
