>
> 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.
