LDAP Configuration

Set ldapUserStoreEnabled = true to activate. Every LDAP key has a default (shown in the tables), but the connection and search defaults are placeholders, so a functional LDAP setup typically sets at least the following:

• ldapConnectionName — bind DN used to connect to the LDAP server (leave empty for an anonymous bind)
• ldapConnectionPassword — password for the bind DN
• ldapUserSearchBase — base DN under which users are searched

All remaining keys are optional.
