Description

After resorving GERONIMO-4997 ,https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4997 ,Connecting to a ldap server anonymous is actually supported.
But we can not generate a security realm file on console wizard if we try to connect the ldap server anonymously
Steps to reproduce:
1. click Security->Security Realms->Add new security realm
2.Enter a unique name for the relam file and choose LDAP Realm,click next.
3.input all useful information like connectionURL,userBase,etc..according to your ldap server configuration.but Leave the input box for Connect Username and Connect password blank,then click next.
An waring box will occur saying:option-ConnectionUsername must not be empty.And I cann't generate a realm file successfully if no user name and password is provided.

I think since we can connect to it in an anonymous way.It's not a must to provide user name and password on console.It would be better to provide a way to enable this
