 Description  « Hide
A few LDAP servers such as AD support group nesting. It would be handy to support this in Wildfire, as it could make shared group handling for larger organizations much easier.

I would like to see support for this for both users and roster groups. While I couldn't find any code that implemented nested LDAP group support in java, here is an implementation in PHP: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LDAP_Authentication. (Look specifically at the searchNestedGroups function.) That algorithm should be portable to Java fairly easily.
