Read first

We manage everything through issues, not PRs.

A PR is a solution. A solution without a problem breaks release notes. Please open an issue so the list of problems that were fixed can be correctly listed and be attributed to you.

If this is an unsolicited change, or there is no existing issue filed for it, please open a GitHub issue before creating a pull request. This will allow us to discuss the motivations and the big picture behind the change first. It's possible there may be other solutions that should be discussed for what you think should be built. It is possible your change will be rejected unless some discussion around your proposal happens first. While creating this PR means you probably already did the work, it still makes sense to file an issue now, and into the future when you have proposed changes.

Additionally, when attributing credit in releases, we use issues to determine who worked on each version. If there isn't an issue assigned to you, you may not get credit in release notes.

Some things you might want to mention:

1. Why are you making the change?
2. Explain how it works and decisions you made.
3. If you're fixing something, what was wrong? How should we stop from having this issue happen again?
4. If this is a new feature or addition to functionality, why should it be added? What are the use cases? Who was asking for this functionality?
5. If this is a frontend change, does the text support translation?

@marmitar ldapjs is being removed by #5008, where passport-ldapauth is used instead. Unfortunately passport-ldapauth also uses ldapjs v2, but least it wouldn't be a direct dependency.

@ahyattdev Yeah, I left ldapjs outside of this update hoping it would be reworked in another PR. Good to hear it's finally happening.
