Description

A non-stated requirement of https://github.com/stackabletech/druid-operator/pull/374

As part of work on first LDAP support in https://github.com/stackabletech/druid-operator/pull/374 it turned out that Druid does not seem to support connecting to an LDAP service without bind credentials.

If this scenario is a priority, we will need to investigate it and maybe contribute a fix to Druid.

Various combinations of "don't specify LDAP bind username and password settings" and "set those settings to an empty string" have been tried, but have not resulted in the desired behaviour.

Research direction

Start by reviewing pull request #374 and the attempted LDAP configuration combinations described here. Investigate whether Apache Druid supports LDAP connections without bind credentials and whether the required change belongs in Druid or this operator. Done means the unauthenticated LDAP scenario works as intended, with any necessary upstream contribution identified.
