[wildfly-dev] URGENT - RELEASE NOTES

[Darran Lofthouse]

You already have items related to access control and audit logging but a 
few I think we are missing: -

* Group Loading from LDAP within Security Realms *

The security realm capabilities have been enhanced so that in addition 
to authenticating the management users against LDAP we now support the 
loading of their groups from LDAP so that these can be mapped to the 
roles used by access control.

* LDAP Caching *

The authentication against LDAP has been enhanced to cache the results 
of previous authentications to reduce the number of times we need to 
communicate with LDAP, this same caching mechanism is also used to cache 
the results from searching LDAP for a users group membership 
information.  The caches support two different caching strategies and 
runtime operations to see the current cache sizes, check the contents 
and either selectively flush individual entries from the cache or flush 
the entire cache.

* CLI Aliases *

Within the CLI configuration it is now possible to define aliases to 
servers that you regularly connect to allowing you to specify the name 
of an alias when using the 'connect' command instead of requiring the 
full URL.

Regards,
Darran Lofthouse.

This might be an interesting new feature, or it could be something the user should be aware of (compatibility change, important default changed).
