Description

Users with aliases cannot login to Openmeetings.

Java documentation: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/jndi/tutorial/ldap/misc/aliases.html

Please add a configuration option in the webapps/openmeetings/conf/om_ldap.cfg file for how Java handles the dereferencing, maybe ldap_search_dereference. With the options always, never, finding or searching.

I found the source code in this file: LdapLoginManagement.java
I'm sorry I'm not a Java programmer but I can test and report back.

David.
