Description

We're trying to setup LDAP in our Archiva installation.  We're using the war file deployed to a WebSphere Liberty 19.0.0.9 server running on AIX 7.1.  LDAP server is Security Directory Server 6.4 running also on AIX 7.1.

I'm able to configure the LDAP server and properties in Archiva and the "Verify LDAP changes" and "Verify LDAP configuration on server side" checks are successfull.

I can see the user list when I edit a role and I can also see the groups in the LDAP/Roles mapping tab.  However, the groups are listed with an ending double quote, which is not present in the LDAP server.

The issue also occurs when I run Archiva using the default Jetty server running on my Windows 10 laptop connecting to the same LDAP server.

I don't know if it is the cause of our other problem, but Archiva doesn't seem to see the LDAP group membership so when I assign roles to LDAP groups, they are not taken into account when a user logs in.
