Hi @Bccorb, Thank you for your report. The ADIdentityManager was an external contribution and so far we neither have had the need to access an LDAP by ourselves, nor we have received enough requests about it from the community. We gladly accept PRs, otherwise we can evaluate to include something in our roadmap in two cases:

  1. There are multiple incoming requests from the community about a specific feature;
  2. A company is willing to directly sponsor and pay for the development effort.

If you think you can contribute an implementation by yourself we'll be happy to assist you in merging the PR. We request at least a set of regression tests and some documentation, so that we can include the contribution in our continuous integration pipeline and in the documentation portal. In this specific case, we'd need guidance on how to setup a basic testing LDAP environment (for example, we could start and populate a dockerized LDAP instance so that it could run within our end-to-end Travis-CI automatic build process).

Note that most of our team is on vacation these days, so unfortunately we cannot assure prompt replies anyway.
