New LDAP Configuration with Version 11.5

General changes

  1. New LDAP configuration entries with the pattern: ldap.<index>.<extension>
  2. New entry ldap.<index>.username_suffixes: Contains comma-separated list of (sub-)domains for which the LDAP server is responsible
  3. ldap.enabled and ldap.dbusers.allow are obsolete and are set via security.auth.order=db,ldap
  4. security.auth.order contains only one LDAP entry. The sequence of queries is defined in the config file via the index.
    1. If you experience Error 500 when accessing 'Preferences' watch in your PowerFolder.config file if the security.auth.order Parameter still contains entries like ldap2 or ldap3. Delete those to solve this issue.
  5. All ldap.* (without index), ldap2.* and ldap3.* entries are obsolete and are transferred to the new entries, but remain in the configuration file with a leading x.
