Description

Specified the ldap properties on the users/ldap page in the following format (real names masked). When click "Verify Ldap Changes" it comes back saying "ldap connection verified". But when I click the "Verify LDAP configuration on server side", it throws a bunch of errors in the log and gives the error: "An error has happened you must contact the administrator to check the logs."

Host: ldaphost.company.net

port: 389

Base dn: dc=company,dc=net

Base dn for groups: cn=groups,cn=accounts,dc=company,dc=net

bindDn: uid=user1,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=company,dc=net

 

I'm able to do an ldapsearch on the same host:

ldapsearch -W -H ldap://ldaphost.company.net -b "cn=groups,cn=accounts,dc=company,dc=net" -D "uid=user1,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=company,dc=net"

(using the same password as put in the archiva ldap page)

 

Some of the errors in the log: (complete error is attached).
