Description

Alex suggested:

" I recommend you proceed like so for now:

(1) get a handle on the DirectoryService
(2) access the attributeType registry via directoryService.getRegistries().getAttributeTypeRegistry()
(3) from the attribute type registry access the normalizer map getNormalizerMap() or something like that
(4) feed this into the dn.normalize() method of the dn you feed into LdapPrincipal"

This fixes the runtime problem.

• • In addition, I'd like to request the method setLdifFilters() is made public so an embedded application can continue to provide them (as was the case with 1.0 and 1.5.1) **

I'm not a committer but will attach a patch file. Would you please consider and apply the patch?
