HTTP 500 error 'Authentication user provider [ldap] is not defined', since docker version 5.5.0-beta.1

[JacksonHub2]

Bug description
I am previous running Firefly with docker version 5.4.6, everything OK with LDAP.

And by today I was trying to get the instance upgraded, but once it goes to version 5.5.6 (latest branch), it was the very likely the same issue as previous one #4612 #4557.

My stackstrace:

`InvalidArgumentException
InvalidArgumentException:
Authentication user provider [ldap] is not defined.

Steps to reproduce
After get several downgrade.. it seems, the issue coming here since 5.5.0-beta.1, the very next version after 5.4.6.

During the try-out, I haven't touch my LDAP settings, so it went to the application that might have problem.

Every Docker build after March 29 includes LDAP. This was the fix in #4557. Could you delete your local images and try again with 5.5.6?

I hope to release 5.5.7 later today so feel free to wait a bit.

[JacksonHub2]

Get all my firefly images deleted, pull the jc5x/firefly-iii:version-5.5.6 image then.
Issue still there, no sign of mitigating..
Would like keep waiting for new coming version to check whether fix.

Right now I'm prefer to use 5.4.6)

[JC5]

Then I don’t know. The package is there.

[JacksonHub2]

Weird then, i think problem might exist in the coder differences between 5.4.6 and 5.5.0-beta.1..
Is there any info I might have offer to help you check?

[JC5]

Sorry, are you trying this with 5.4.6 or with a newer docker container?

[JacksonHub2]

I'm using 5.4.6, it's OK.
All newer version gets the same issue 'ldap is not defined'.

[JacksonHub2]

Also, get tested with the latest jc5x/firefly-iii:version-5.5.7, have the same issue:

[JacksonHub2]

By the following I'm posting some docker log of the 5.4.6 version container, and also 5.5.7, hopes useful to check:

I haven't put this in the documentation yet. I'll think about what's wise.

[JacksonHub2]

Waiting for any update here :)

[JC5]

I can do nothing else right now. The Docker container needs to download an extra package and if the site doesn't worked or is blocked, it won't fly. All I can do for a future release is make sure that this is optional, but the download is necessary in either case.

[JacksonHub2]

Is this possible to include this as some sort of dependency? for most of docker images, it's by default then, in design, workable for offline and no need of Internet contact.

[JC5]

No, not at the moment. The LDAP package requires ext-ldap (obviously) which is pretty rare for most installations. I can include ext-ldap in the Docker installation. If I require the LDAP package itself, every user of Firefly III would have to install ext-ldap, even when they don't need LDAP.

[JacksonHub2]

Nah, so sad.. Cut this feature doesn't make the image 'much slim'.If this means to make the application more 'extensible', then release the most simple image is the way. Or maybe consider a full-feature branch ?

[JC5]

I get complaints either way. If it's missing people complain. If it's in there people complain.
