If you hit a block because of an unimplemented feature, create an issue.

Description of the service

Kimal supports automatically assigning their roles in Kimal based on the group of ldap users. However, in the example file, the usernameAttribute value is incorrect, causing the function to be unusable.

What you've tried

<skip ...>
    role:
      baseDn: ou=groups, dc=example, dc=com
      filter: (&(objectClass=groupOfUniqueNames))
      usernameAttribute: cn
      nameAttribute: cn
      userDnAttribute: member
<skip...>

What's not working
The role of users cannot be updated!

How I fixed it:

<skip ...>
    role:
      baseDn: ou=groups, dc=example, dc=com
      filter: (&(objectClass=groupOfUniqueNames))
      usernameAttribute: uid
      nameAttribute: cn
      userDnAttribute: member
<skip...>

the value of usernameAttribute should be uid, not cn.

Kimai version: 2.31.0
