#5 userSearch variable in LDAPofficer not initialized

[Chaosguard]

As i read the sourcecode the userSearch variable in the officer is not initialized prior to the authenticate. I am not sure if my LDAP environment is setup properly, but this should not happen anyways. I propose to initialise it with an empty string or to check for null in line 213.

Here the logtrace:
