Description
The Redback LDAP configurations used by other applications like Continuum, only allows for setting UserBaseDN as a selection criteria when authorizing access to the application.
In any case where all users are located in the same ldap tree/sub and all users should be granted access, this is fine.
But most of the time you would want to grant access to applications either by setting a special permission or attribute on users, or you would define an ldap group where authorized users are added.
The LdapUserMapper and the redback-common-ldap source should support both defining groups and/or user attributes as a filtering mechanism when access is granted.
