16939: Merged V3.1 to V3.2
      16938: ETHREEOH-622: AuthorityServiceImpl uses userNameMatcher to check for admin users according to case sensitivity settings
      16934: ETHREEOH-2584: Coding error in BaseSSOAuthenticationFilter
   16924: LDAP Performance
      - Created NodeService addChild variants that can add associations to multiple parents (groups/zones) at the same time with a single path check.
      - Created AuthorityService addAuthority variant that can add an authority to multiple groups at the same time, using the above
      - Optimized group association creation strategy. Groups and Persons created in 'depth first' order (root groups first, parents last). Prevents the nodes having to be reindexed.
