Description

When users and groups are synced from LDAP, there are four different log warnings when group membership is configured but we encounter users or groups that do not match the configured criteria. The warnings were originally added with the intent to identify issues with the LDAP config, however there are legitimate cases where the scenario is expected. For instance, when a user does not belong to any groups or when the user belongs to a group that is not relevant for NiFi and not identified in the group search. When we encounter these cases the warnings can flood the log files invalid warn messages.
