Error description

• JS API call hasUser on ParticpantGroupScriptable does not
  reflect LDAP user memberships.
  .
  When performing the js api call hasUser on
  ParticipantGroupScriptable, the user memberships are checked in
  the BPM user repository, but not in an LDAP directory configured
  for Federated Repositories. In case a user has not logged into
  BPM before, user memberships will not reflect the memberships
  defined in the LDAP server.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• TWParticipantGroup.hasUser() should synchronize this one LDAP
  user, and respect the LDAP group memberships.
  
  PROBLEM DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
  Customers who use LDAP groups within their participant group
  definitions and use Java Script API method "hasUser" experience
  the following behavior, which has been in effect for many years:
  
  1. LDAP groups are synchronized to BPM-DB at server startup
  2. LDAP users are synchronized to BPM-DB via the Process Admin
     Console > User Synchronization > Full Synchronize button
  3. LDAP group memberships are synchronized to BPM-DB when the
     user logs into BPM.
  
  TWParticipantGroup.hasUser() works correct only, when all three
  items have been successfully synchronized.
  

Problem conclusion

• TWParticipantGroup.hasUser() has been enhanced.
