Description Roger Hui 2010-11-29 23:08:59 UTC 
Description of problem:
When the CN attribute is missing the group, JOn is unable to pick up the groups. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
JON 2.4.0 

How reproducible:
Create a LDAP group that doesn't contain CN attributes, and run the LDAPTestSettings.jar 

You will see null at the groupFilter.
-------------------------------
STEP-3:TESTING: This ldap filter (objectclass=groupOfNames) will be used to locate ALL available LDAP groups
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
STEP-3:FAIL: There was an error searching with the groupFilter supplied: objectclass=groupOfNames'
null
-------------------------------
  
Actual results:
Null pointer returned. 

Expected results:
It should be able to return a list of groups. 

Additional info:
There is a workaround, try to modify the 'group filter' entry to have LDAP exclusion logic to hide those groups from the RHQ LDAP search. Ex. &(objectclass=groupOfNames)(!cn='') The only problem with this approach is that this is a large amount of groups.

Here is the case for more details: 00382109
Can we get it fixed in 2.4.1?
