    Description

      Currently, the Admin UI Plugin allows the creation of delegated authentication directories that simply delegate the authentication to the LDAP server, but do nothing else.

      In Crowd, delegated authentication directories copy the user on auth. It would be good if the Admin UI Plugin allows an option to copy the user on auth (just a flag - perhaps checkbox or radio button on the UI). This will then set the attribute ATTRIBUTE_CREATE_USER_ON_AUTH to true/false. The underlying logic to perform the actual copy-on-auth is already implemented.

      The other part of this UI task is to show/hide extra properties required to implement copy-on-auth. In particular, when "copy on auth" is first selected, we will need to allow the user to enter in values for the:

      • user display name attribute
      • user first name attribtue
      • .. etc
        ie. ALL of the User related attributes, NONE of the group related ones

      See the Crowd documentation for an idea of what attributes we should be displaying: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CROWD/Configuring+a+Delegated+Authentication+Directory

      We can copy the UI elements from the UI Plugin Screen to create a full LDAP directory (so that the UI looks consistent).
