There is no LDAP UserGroupService yet. Some people might want one. For example, to use the integrated geofence with ldap, because the integrated geofence relies on a UserGroupService.

Introduce an LDAP implementation of the UserGroupService interface. The feature will be added to the core module security-ldap, with the UI in core module web-security-ldap.

It would be implemented in an analogue way to the RoleService. The different method implementations would execute LDAP search queries to retrieve the requested user information and translate the data to user/group objects. Configuration would also be similar to the RoleService and AuthenticationService but slightly more extended: users could choose between providing filters for retrieving all/specific users/groups or simply provide the necessary attribute names (where the filters are automatically created).

No issues.

Documentation must be included as prerequisite for acceptance.
