Darran Lofthouse updated SECURITY-934:
--------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: Negotiation_3_0_3_CR1
RolesSearch in AdvancedLdapLoginModule is doing a needless LDAP call
for each individual role
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SECURITY-934
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SECURITY-934
Project: PicketBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Negotiation
Reporter: Hynek Švábek
Assignee: Romain Pelisse
Fix For: Negotiation_3_0_3_CR1
There will be needless LDAP calls if we use AdvancedLdap login module.
If a user is a member of (lets say) 100 groups, then we can get an extra 100 calls to the
LDAP server.
It can be performance problem.
Same problem was in LdapExt login module.
