LDAP implementation should support retrieval of LDAP servers through DNS SRV
records
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: NXP-4685
URL: https://jira.nuxeo.org/browse/NXP-4685
Project: Nuxeo Enterprise Platform
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Directory
Reporter: Robert Browning
To enable dynamic lookup of LDAP server URLs the LDAPServerDescriptor and
associated classes should be able to handle URLs of the format
'ldap:///dc=nuxeo,dc=org' where the hostport part of the URI is empty.
This should query the dns server for the service record _ldap._tcp.nuxeo.org to
retrieve a list of servers providing the ldap service for the specified domain.
The service identifier should be modifiable to allow flexible use of other ldap
services registered under different service records, for example use of the
Global Cache as provided by Microsoft Active Directory which uses the _gc._tcp
prefix.
The resultant DNS queries should be cached (with expiry) to prevent the need
for repeated DNS querying and parsing whilst allowing changes to the network
structure to have minimal effect on the operation of the server.
