Please any suggestions what to do with ldap groups for future? I saw  
that ldap groups driver was able to show nested groups. But later, it  
was changed again to not support it. Today, if we want to use ldap  
groups, we have to use one context for all groups. Nested groups do  
not works.

We made small patch which only ignore dn of the group, so we see all  
ldap groups from entire ldap tree as flat structure if specified by  
config parameter. But it would be much more better if ldap driver uses  
nested groups. Any suggestions ?

I think that ldap driver need to return ous as groups to have full  
nested group functionality.
