Need to support Oracle LDAP

Dear colleagues, our customer is using Oracle LDAP as a corporate identity provider system. Instana allows users in, however it doesn't allow to map groups with Instana groups for centralised user management. Customer has found that Instana includes "memberOf" attribute for any search, there is no such attribute in Oracle LDAP, instead, they have "isMemberOf" we tried to use "isMemberOf" as a value of "Group Member Field" (The name of the attribute containing DNs of users listed through group_query e.g.: uniqueMember) as we expected it to be working, but it didn't work with group mapping as described in Mapping Rules: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/instana-observability/current?topic=authentication-idp-group-mapping#mapping-rules

LDAP: You want to map every user from the group with "memberOf: CN=administrators,CN=Groups,CN=SVT,OU=APMDir,DC=ibm,DC=com" in your LDAP identity provider to the Instana "adminsDK" Group.

Please consider adding support for Oracle LDAP.

Thank you
