LDW 2.1.12 released: LDAP authentication improvements

For authenticating users logging in to Data Virtuality Server, there are two ways: Using the built-in user and role management or leveraging an existing LDAP repository. In this version, we are adding two improvements to the LDAP authentication:

1. Recursive roles: If a user belongs to a group A, which again is a member of another group B, in previous versions the group membership in Data Virtuality was only obtained for group A. Now the whole hierarchy gets reflected and the user will appear as a member of group A and B.
2. More username options: Instead of only accepting the Common Name (CN) as a username during login, users may now also provide their user principal name or SAM account name.

More details on LDAP can be found in our documentation.
