LDAP authentication issues - user not found

Do you have a sample on how to specify usage of "users’ creds for authorization?

use this config

AuthLDAPSearchAsUser on

instead of

AuthLDAPBindDN someTestUser
AuthLDAPBindPassword someTestPassword

Maybe it could be your AuthLDAPBindDN that is the issue? I mean if you’re binding to a different base DN than the rest of your users?

@arashnh11

other users issue still exists. I can get queries from other users using the same base dn. I don’t put the attribute part in the query (?name) in this case.

You’re sure they have this attribute, name?

@arashnh11

What else could I be missing here?

Can you show us the entire config? Feel free to obfuscate things with ‘host’ and ‘a’ ‘b’ ‘c’ and so on. With LDAP, there is always some very simple reason things fail.
I would suggest these things.

1. try binding with AuthLDAPSearchAsUser
2. confirm name attributes exist for other users
3. Are you logs on debug? they should indicate how many objects are returned from you ldap query. Confirm the number of objects returned for you (I’m guessing 1) and for your failing users.
