> LDAP Authenticator can be configured to use a result set from a LDAP query to
> authenticate. However, is it expected that this LDAP query would only result
> a set of users (aka full DNs for the users in LDAP).
> However, its not always straightforward to be able to author queries that
> return users. For example, say you would like to allow "all users from group1
> and group2" to be authenticated. The LDAP query has to return a union of all
> members of the group1 and group2.
> For example, one common configuration is that groups contain a list of its
> users
> "dn: uid=group1,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com",
> "distinguishedName: uid=group1,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com",
> "objectClass: top",
> "objectClass: groupOfNames",
> "objectClass: ExtensibleObject",
> "cn: group1",
> "ou: Groups",
> "sn: group1",
> "member: uid=user1,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com",
> The query
> {{(&(objectClass=groupOfNames)(|(cn=group1)(cn=group2)))}}
> will return the entries
> uid=group1,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com
> uid=group2,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com
> but there is no means to form a query that would return just the values of
> "member" attributes. (ldap client tools are able to do by filtering out the
> attributes on these entries.
> So it will be useful to have such support to be able to specify queries that
> return groups.
