Ignore unknown cached group-select values during the initial auth form request so they do not suppress the configured group list. Keep valid group values and friendly labels selected first, and defer unlisted group names to sec-mod once real authentication data is present so hidden groups continue to work. Declare UTF-8 in XML auth response Content-Type headers so clients decode localized group labels correctly.
