/**
 * <p>Implementation of <strong>Realm</strong> that works with a directory
 * server accessed via the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) APIs.
 * The following constraints are imposed on the data structure in the
 * underlying directory server:</p>
 * <ul>
 *
 * <li>Each user that can be authenticated is represented by an individual
 *     element in the top level <code>DirContext</code> that is accessed
 *     via the <code>connectionURL</code> property.</li>
 *
 * <li>If a socket connection cannot be made to the <code>connectURL</code>
 *     an attempt will be made to use the <code>alternateURL</code> if it
 *     exists.</li>
 *
 * <li>Each user element has a distinguished name that can be formed by
 *     substituting the presented username into a pattern configured by the
 *     <code>userPattern</code> property.</li>
 *
 * <li>Alternatively, if the <code>userPattern</code> property is not
 *     specified, a unique element can be located by searching the directory
 *     context. In this case:
 *     <ul>
 *     <li>The <code>userSearch</code> pattern specifies the search filter
 *         after substitution of the username.</li>
 *     <li>The <code>userBase</code> property can be set to the element that
 *         is the base of the subtree containing users.  If not specified,
 *         the search base is the top-level context.</li>
 *     <li>The <code>userSubtree</code> property can be set to
 *         <code>true</code> if you wish to search the entire subtree of the
 *         directory context.  The default value of <code>false</code>
 *         requests a search of only the current level.</li>
 *    </ul>
 * </li>
 *
 * <li>The user may be authenticated by binding to the directory with the
 *      username and password presented. This method is used when the
 *      <code>userPassword</code> property is not specified.</li>
 *
 * <li>The user may be authenticated by retrieving the value of an attribute
 *     from the directory and comparing it explicitly with the value presented
 *     by the user. This method is used when the <code>userPassword</code>
 *     property is specified, in which case:
 *     <ul>
 *     <li>The element for this user must contain an attribute named by the
 *         <code>userPassword</code> property.
 *     <li>The value of the user password attribute is either a cleartext
 *         String, or the result of passing a cleartext String through the
 *         <code>RealmBase.digest()</code> method (using the standard digest
 *         support included in <code>RealmBase</code>).
 *     <li>The user is considered to be authenticated if the presented
 *         credentials (after being passed through
 *         <code>RealmBase.digest()</code>) are equal to the retrieved value
 *         for the user password attribute.</li>
 *     </ul></li>
 *
 * <li>Each group of users that has been assigned a particular role may be
 *     represented by an individual element in the top level
 *     <code>DirContext</code> that is accessed via the
 *     <code>connectionURL</code> property.  This element has the following
 *     characteristics:
 *     <ul>
 *     <li>The set of all possible groups of interest can be selected by a
 *         search pattern configured by the <code>roleSearch</code>
 *         property.</li>
 *     <li>The <code>roleSearch</code> pattern optionally includes pattern
 *         replacements "{0}" for the distinguished name, and/or "{1}" for
 *         the username, and/or "{2}" the value of an attribute from the
 *         user's directory entry (the attribute is specified by the
 *         <code>userRoleAttribute</code> property), of the authenticated user
 *         for which roles will be retrieved.</li>
 *     <li>The <code>roleBase</code> property can be set to the element that
 *         is the base of the search for matching roles.  If not specified,
 *         the entire context will be searched.</li>
 *     <li>The <code>roleSubtree</code> property can be set to
 *         <code>true</code> if you wish to search the entire subtree of the
 *         directory context.  The default value of <code>false</code>
 *         requests a search of only the current level.</li>
 *     <li>The element includes an attribute (whose name is configured by
 *         the <code>roleName</code> property) containing the name of the
 *         role represented by this element.</li>
 *     </ul></li>
 *
 * <li>In addition, roles may be represented by the values of an attribute
 * in the user's element whose name is configured by the
 * <code>userRoleName</code> property.</li>
 *
 * <li>A default role can be assigned to each user that was successfully
 * authenticated by setting the <code>commonRole</code> property to the
 * name of this role. The role doesn't have to exist in the directory.</li>
 *
 * <li>If the directory server contains nested roles, you can search for them
 * by setting <code>roleNested</code> to <code>true</code>.
 * The default value is <code>false</code>, so role searches will not find
 * nested roles.</li>
 *
 * <li>Note that the standard <code>&lt;security-role-ref&gt;</code> element in
 *     the web application deployment descriptor allows applications to refer
 *     to roles programmatically by names other than those used in the
 *     directory server itself.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p><strong>WARNING</strong> - There is a reported bug against the Netscape
 * provider code (com.netscape.jndi.ldap.LdapContextFactory) with respect to
 * successfully authenticated a non-existing user. The
 * report is here: https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11210 .
 * With luck, Netscape has updated their provider code and this is not an
 * issue. </p>
