The LDAP Summary Screen

The Summary screen provides different information depending on the type of LDAP configuration.
When no LDAP configuration exists, parameters that can be set are displayed without corresponding
values.

For an LDAP configuration with Simple binding, the following in formation is provided:

name. The value of domain-name-prefix is a character string
used to extract the domain name from the candidate. The value
is an optional exclamation point ('!') followed by a character
string called the prefix. The exclamation point is a flag that
means the presence of the prefix is required and is described
more below.

The candidate domain name is searched for the presence of
the prefix and if found, the domain name starts after the first
occurrence of the prefix and stops before the first space or tab
following it or at the end of the candidate domain name.

If the prefix is not found, the behavior depends on the flag. If
the exclamation point was not used (there is no flag), the
candidate domain name becomes the domain name. If the flag
is present, the candidate domain name is rejected and there is
no domain name. As a last step, and as described for the
Domain Name Attribute, domain names can be truncated and
have invalid characters replaced.

When set, the mapping of groups to domains is enabled. For
a user that is a member of a group that maps to a role, the
