  **Special features - Active Directory Multi Plugin**
  
    * Properties of the ADMultiPlugin instance:
    
      * groupid_attr - the LDAP attribute used for group ids.
    
      * grouptitle_attr - the LDAP attribute used to compose group titles.
    
      * group_class - the LDAP class of group objects.
    
      * group_recurse - boolean indicating whether to determine group
        memberships of a user by unrolling nested group relationships
        (expensive).
    
    * If an object implementing the cache manager interface is acquirable,
      you can configure the AD MultiPlugin to use the cache, which will
      speed up queries at the expense of freshness (the details of that
      tradeoff are determined by the cache manager).  Do this via the
      Cache tab of the ADMP instance.
