    Description

      ----------------------------

      Original Description

      Affects 3.6 and 4.0 docs - notice should probably exist in 3.4 docs as well.

      https://docs.opsmanager.mongodb.com/v3.6/tutorial/configure-for-ldap-authentication/#type-ldap-configuration-settings

      Specifically this text:

      The memberOf LDAP user attribute is deprecated in favor of the member LDAP user attribute.
       
      If you specify both user attributes in the LDAP User Group field, Ops Manager uses member and ignores memberOf. If you specify only memberOf, Ops Manager will not recognize the user’s membership in nested LDAP groups.
      

      While memberOf will no longer exist in the new search, the field being deprecated is LDAP User Group which is being replaced by LDAP Group Member Attribute as seen in the UI below:

      I recommend updating the notice to something similar to the following:

      Changed in version 3.6.
       
      The LDAP User Group field is deprecated in favor of the LDAP Group Member Attribute.
       
      If you specify attributes in both the LDAP User Group field and LDAP Group Member Attribute, Ops Manager uses the attribute in LDAP Group Member Attribute and ignores LDAP User Group. If you specify only LDAP User Group, Ops Manager will not recognize the user’s membership in nested LDAP groups.
