Yeah - reason is, the issue itself was fixed in STK and the discussion becomes
larger than that.
So, two things:
1) this problem has been fixed more generally with MAGNOLIA-3037[1]. This is
available in the trunk (4.3-m1, 4.3-snapshot). It could be backported to the
4.2 branch too, but there are no plans to do a new 4.2 release soon.
2) in all cases, if you need to access more user properties than the basic
name, fullName and language, you will need to extend
info.magnolia.jaas.sp.ldap.LDAPAuthenticationModule#setEntity to push the
desired properties into the Entity object, and the
info.magnolia.cms.security.ExternalUserManager/info.magnolia.cms.security.ExternalUser
pair to expose it.
(and register the UserManager appropriately [2]). As of yet, we have no
one-size-fits-all solution for this, so depending on your projects' needs, this
might be simple (if all you need is read those properties) or complex (if you
also need to manage ldap users via Magnolia)
