The following is a summary of changes in this pull request made by me, your security buddy 🤖. Note that this summary is auto-generated and not meant to be a definitive list of security issues but rather a helpful summary from a security perspective.

Summary:

The code change provides detailed instructions on how to configure the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) in the Janssen Server using the command-line interface (CLI) and the REST API. The changes demonstrate various LDAP configuration operations, such as getting existing configurations, adding new configurations, updating existing configurations, deleting configurations, and patching configurations. From an application security perspective, the code highlights several important security considerations, including the use of unique configuration IDs, proper handling of sensitive credentials (bindDN and bindPassword), the importance of using secure communication (useSSL), and the cautious use of the anonymous bind option (useAnonymousBind). The code also emphasizes the need to be careful when using the partial configuration update (patch-config-database-ldap-by-name) feature to avoid inadvertent changes that could impact the system's security. Overall, this code change provides a comprehensive guide on LDAP configuration while also addressing the relevant security-related aspects.
