This affects sites that have the global setting Hide folders without read permissions enabled.
During omd update, the dynamic host configuration was verified with no user
logged in. The folder choice of a creation rule is filtered by the folder read
permission, and a user that is not logged in sees only the main folder. For
every connection whose creation rule places hosts in a folder below the main
folder, the update therefore reported
Invalid configuration for dynamic host config connector '<name>':
Invalid choice '<folder/path>' (location: ['creation_rules', '0', 'create_folder_path'])
and asked whether to continue, although the same rule opened without error in
Setup. Answering c was safe: the verification only reads the configuration.
Starting with this release, the verification runs with the same permissions as the update itself, so these false errors no longer appear.
