      The UserManager extension point syntax for defining custom user search fields has changed from:

      <users>
      <searchFields>
      <searchField>first</searchField>
      <searchField>last</searchField>
      </searchFields>
      </users>

      to:

      <users>
      <searchFields>
      <substringMatchSearchField>first</substringMatchSearchField>
      <exactMatchSearchField>last</exactMatchSearchField>
      </searchFields>
      </users>

      The old <searchField/> tags are interpreted as <substringMatchSearchField/> to maintain backward compatibility with the old syntax.

      Description

      Currently UserManager.searchPrincipals uses substring search on all userSearchFields which makes search on ID field only indexed for exact match fail on very large directories.

      Proposed fix: make it possible to choose between exact match and substring match for each field in the UserManager extension point configuration.
