LDAP: enable configuration of IgnorePartialResultException

[lukas-reinert-datascience]

Hi,

I've recently tried to connect shinyproxy to an active directory where some entries contain referrals to other ADs.
For some users, a "partial result exception" is thrown, failing the authentication despite providing correct credentials.
Spring Boot's LDAP implementation allows IgnorePartialResultException to be configured. Containerproxy does not as far as I can see.

I've run a local test by hardcoding
authoritiesPopulator.setIgnorePartialResultException(true);
in line 106 of https://github.com/openanalytics/containerproxy/blob/master/src/main/java/eu/openanalytics/containerproxy/auth/impl/LDAPAuthenticationBackend.java.

This works in my case and the exception is ignored.
However, having the option to configure this parameter within shinyproxy's application.yml would be a nice addition.

Best regards,
Lukas

Hi

Thanks for opening this issue! We were not aware of the need for this configuration option. I created an internal ticket to implement this, it will probably be part of the next release.
