Description

If the <credentials/> parameter is not declared for org.apache.james.user.ldap.ReadOnlyUsersLDAPRepository a null pointer exception is encountered.

An LDAP repository may be configured to allow queries without credentials, therefore this parameter should be optional.

Until fixed, a workaround is to declare an empty <credentials/> parameter.
