A user may currently have full information in LDAP. Still, when he first hits the RHQ server, he needs to fill all details like name etc. again. In CustomJaasDeploymentService.validateLdapOptions() we already bind the ldap server temporarily into JNDI. We could bind it constantly and search it to populate the "new ldap user form".
