This property sets the base in the LDAP tree that the LDAP authentication
module will use to search for LDAP Groups.  It will not change what users
the LDAP authentication module searches for, nor does it restrict users of
Guacamole to the group specified there - it simply changes where groups are
read from.

One of the important things about the LDAP module is that it relies on the
security built-in to LDAP to restrict access to connections and users.  So,
in your case, any user that logs in will be able to see any users that it
has access to in the LDAP tree.
