Description

SpringSecurityLdapTemplate exposes many operations that are available in modern-day Spring LDAP by way of LdapClient and LdapQueryBuilder. We should try and replace usage of SpringSecurityLdapTemplate with Spring LDAP's default LdapClient implementation to simplify maintenance and configuration.
