Regarding the LDAP Part of the Installation Documentation, i would propose to use NestedGroupOfNamesType to support nested groups - i already prepared a patch in my git repo - so i would send a pull request if this is ok.

Cheers

I am not sure, but I think not all LDAP servers support nested groups/NestedGroupOfNames ? So maybe it should be made optional

Fair Point! How about just adding the sentence

!!! When using Windows Server 2012, GroupOfNamesType can be replaced with NestedGroupOfNamesType to provide support for nested Groups.
