Accepted github dependabot PR to the latest MySQL JDBC driver has error. Reverting for now, research later.

For clarity it might make sense to add

These are the connection parameters used for LDAP service account and used by 'admin' pooled connections:

root.dn=uid=admin,ou=system
port=10389

and

This param tells fortress what type of ldap server in use:

ldap.server.type=apacheds

To the src/main/resources/fortress.properties, even if they're commented out. I'm not going to change this one because I may be misunderstanding the intent.

Hey Shawn,

Where are you publishing your snapshot releases? I get

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project apache-fortress-demo: Could not resolve dependencies for project fortressdemo3:apache-fortress-demo:war:1.0-RC40-SNAPSHOT: Failure to find org.apache.directory:fortress-realm-impl:jar:1.0-RC40-SNAPSHOT in https://ci.psu.edu/nexus/content/groups/public was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of ci has elapsed or updates are forced -> [Help 1]

When trying to run mvn javadoc:javadoc.

Thanks,
Shawn

I attempted to go to the following url: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/directory/fortress/
and 'fortress-core' is the only directory available, 'fortress-web' does not exist.
