Description

As far as I understood the LDAP authentication backend, the group membership needs to be stored in an attribute of the user. This is the default for Active Directory but for other LDAP servers like OpenLDAP, a special memberOf-overlay needs to be activated. It would be very convenient if pfSense would be able to look up the group membership by 1. retrieving the user's DN and 2. querying the LDAP server for all groups the user is a member of (attributes memberUid or uniqueMember).
