Add a direct search endpoint for LDAP groups

Add a way to directly search for an LDAP group. LDAP groups are managed via the /users/ldap/groups endpoint. 

GET /users/ldap/groups

returns a list of all LDAP groups, but there is no way to search for a specific group. Searching is available for other entity types. For example, I can do this for BusinessAccount:

https://tz4.demo.turbonomic.com/api/v3/search?q=EA%20-%20Product%20Management&types=BusinessAccount

But it doesn't work for DedicatedCustomer. There are no documented parameters for GET /users/ldap/group.

https://tz4.demo.turbonomic.com/api/v3/search?q=KLC-External%20From%20Static&type=DedicatedCustomer
https://tz4.demo.turbonomic.com/api/v3/search?q=KLC-External%20From%20Static&groupType=DedicatedCustomer

Both return a 400 Bad Request

<ErrorApiDTO>
    <type>400</type>
    <message>Type or groupType must be set for search result.</message>
</ErrorApiDTO>

 

As more large enterprise customers adopt SSO, the number of LDAP groups is increasing dramatically. I currently have a customer who will have >6,000 LDAP groups. Being forced to download a list of 6,000 groups to locate the one I need introduces significant local processing requirements (parsing the returned dataset) that must be implemented in any script/program that needs to find a single LDAP group.
