Guylaine Bassette updated CONNECTORS-1749:
------------------------------------------
Description:
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: Error code
52 - Object Not Found Error.
