Confluence Standalone
JDK 1.6.22
64Bit Windows 2008 R2
NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.
The old Confluence LDAP connector supports multi-valued fields.
The new LDAP connector does not and Confluence shoud regain that feature, as it helped really much in an organization where multiple userdirectores get combined into one big directory.
Here is an example of the LDAP fields where a user would have three different logins which all refer to the same identity:
CN=E01010101
Loginnames=user@domain.com
Loginnames=DOMAIN_A.USERNAME
Loginnames=DOMAIN_B.USERNAME
Groupmembership is searched via CN. Confluence searched the Loginnames field for checking the credentials and getting the comlpete DN for groupsearches (for instance: cn=E01010101,ou=users,dc=domain,dc=com).
Confluence 3.2.1 works very well with this setup, looking up the correct user information by CN.
Confluence 3.5.13 only finds user "Domain_B.USERNAME".

Thank you for raising this issue. While we can see how this feature would be useful, we have no plans to implement it in the foreseeable future. In order to set expectations, we're closing this request now.
Thanks again for your idea.
