#### Discover Domain tool does not discover users or groups
53+

**ISSUE**: Discovering a domain does not attempt to discover users and groups defined in any configured Authentication Provider type.
55+
56+
**ACTION**: This should only be an issue for the domains using the DefaultAuthenticator, which uses the Embedded LDAP
57+
server that runs inside WebLogic Server as its user and group store. Oracle recommends using an authentication provider
58+
with an external user and group store for managing users and groups. For example, a Microsoft Active Directory server
59+
with the LDAP Authenticator or a database server with the SQL Authenticator. This allows any domain created using the
60+
discovered model to use the same user and group store so that there is no need to export/import users and groups. If a
61+
new user and group store is desired, these external stores natively provide export and import mechanisms for moving
62+
users and groups. If this is not an option, then the user will need to hand-edit the discovered model file to add any
63+
users and groups not created by default.
