Hi everyone,

just to refresh your minds about the limitations here - you can't just
declare _any_ property in your local build.properties. You can only
fill in the values properties that are already there. In addition, you
can't remove those properties that are there, either. Instead of
removing it, you have to leave the right-hand side of the assignment
empty. Therefore, we don't want to just keep adding stuff into
build.properties - that way we would create another copy of all
configuration files in one file :(

Now, it's unfortunate that these limitations exist and it was very
predictable that it would come to these discussions about adding more
properties into build.properties. Therefore it's very important to
first decide what our definition of build.properties is (or view, as
Tim calls it).

My personal take on DS-1494 is that we do not want to add just
search.user and search.password to build.properties. These properties
are not usable by themselves, they require other LDAP options to work.
If we included all (or most) LDAP options, we should also include
properties for all other auth methods. I don't think that would fit
either of those definitions Tim mentioned.
