Membership is not getting updated

Summary

• After LDAP synch, when adding a user to a group Bamboo does not pick up this membership automatically.

Environment

• Bamboo v6.1.1
• Windows Active Directory
• OpenDS/OpenDJ

Steps to Reproduce

dc: cn=user0001,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com
    memberOf: cn=group0001,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com
dc: cn=user0002,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com
    memberOf: cn=group0002,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com
dc: cn=user0003,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com
    memberOf: cn=group0003,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com
dc: cn=user0004,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com
    memberOf: cn=group0004,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com
dc: cn=user0005,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com
    memberOf: cn=group0005,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com

dc: cn=group0001,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com
    member: cn=user0001,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com
dc: cn=group0002,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com
    member: cn=user0002,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com
dc: cn=group0003,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com
    member: cn=user0003,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com
dc: cn=group0004,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com
    member: cn=user0004,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com
dc: cn=group0005,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com
    member: cn=user0005,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com
dc: cn=Testing Group,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com
    member: cn=user0001,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com

The only member of Testing Group before Bamboo's start up was user0001

After starting up Bamboo I have:

Authenticated with username: admin

• log in to Bamboo using an administrator user from Bamboo's Internal Directory (e.g. admin)
• added user0002 to Testing Group in LDAP
• searched for the user0002 in http://localhost:8085/admin/user/viewUsers.action and the user was still member of group0002

Authenticated with username: user0002

• log in to Bamboo with user0002 in attempt to refresh caching for user and its group membership
• log out from Bamboo
• log back in with administrator (e.g. admin)
• revisited http://localhost:8085/admin/user/viewUsers.action and user0002 was still member of group0002 and not in Testing Group

Authenticated with username: admin

• finally, searching for the group Testing Group in http://localhost:8085/admin/group/viewGroups.action
• group Global Rates IT increased the Number of Users from 1 to 2
• going back to http://localhost:8085/admin/user/viewUsers.action displays user0002 as being member of Testing Group

Properties

Expected Results

• Membership should be applied

Actual Results

• Under groups_hasMembership and groups_getGroupsForUser, properties timeToIdleSeconds="300" timeToLiveSeconds="300" seemed to not have any effect as 5min have lapsed without having any interaction in Bamboo and even after that Bamboo did not refresh membership.

Workaround

• Search for the group under http://localhost:8085/admin/group/viewGroups.action OR
• Switch User repositories from Custom repositories to Internal directory back to Custom repositories OR
• Restart Bamboo
