Description

IMO one of the main reasons OpenShift admins develop custom tooling for group sync is the need to sync from a whitelist. The LDAP evironment I currently have to use requires the augmented AD configuration and additionally the LDAP_MATCHING_RULE_IN_CHAIN rule for finding the group members. This makes it requires the use of a whitelist.

What I would like to have is that the whitelist can be kept in a separate ConfigMap that can be managed by another CronJob or that the operator can build the whitelist dynamically based on an LDAP filter or some regular expression.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the operator’s current whitelist handling and group-sync reconciliation path, then review how a separately managed ConfigMap, LDAP filter, or regular expression could supply it. Done means the requested dynamic whitelist behavior is defined and verified for the relevant synchronization flow.
