Description

The user membership attribute is not available in all LDAP server implementations.
Therefore, Liferay should not rely on the fact that it is supported.

Using Apache Directory will result in an exception similar to the following (when the group attribute is not configured):

09:18:31,903 ERROR [LoginAction:128] com.liferay.portal.ModelListenerException: javax.naming.directory.InvalidAttributeValueException: [LDAP: error code 21 - ERR_04083 The type cant be null]; remaining name 'cn=test2,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com'
com.liferay.portal.ModelListenerException: javax.naming.directory.InvalidAttributeValueException: [LDAP: error code 21 - ERR_04083 The type cant be null]; remaining name 'cn=test2,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com'
