Issue/Introduction

Error Message :
N/A

A new parameter, SEARCH_BASE, has been added to allow users to set the base Distinguished Name (DN) as an LDAP variable.

The setting is implemented when VERSION is set to 2 (JWP). 

This will help when searching for LDAP users.  In addition, the error message displayed in the log file of the JWP has been improved. If a user is not found there is now a log message that contains the search base and filter.

The new setting is optional. If it is not set, the LDAP search works as before.

Investigation

SEARCH_BASE: OU=Users02,OU=Users,OU=WG,OU=ADM,DC=abc,DC=def,DC=xyz
