Hello eveyone,

I am trying to configure AD for AWX authentication, however I am getting below error:

`

2018-11-22 10:50:10,721 WARNING awx.conf.settings The current value “‘MemberDNGroupType’” for setting “AUTH\_LDAP\_GROUP\_TYPE” is invalid.  
Traceback (most recent call last):

`

In the UI, it is bit strange that I can choose **MemberDNGroupType** as drop-down menu is empty\*\*:\*\*

In LDAP Group Type parameters, I typed:

`{ "name_attr": "cn" }`

But that didn’t resolve the issue. Any ideas please ?

I am running:

```auto
 _____________ 
< AWX 2.1.0 >
 ------------- 
        \ ^__^
         \ (oo)\ _______
            (__) A )\/\
                >>----w |
                >> >>

```

Ansible 2.7.1
