Hi guys,

I have a working AWX 17.1 in docker, and a working FreeIPA, also in docker.  
I've managed to get to the point that I can login to AWX with accounts from  
that IPA that have the right group, and if they're in the admin group they  
also get admin on AWX, but I can't get the organization and teams mapped  
automatically - anyone got any hints for me?

No, for various reasons I won't be able to upgrade to AWX 20 anytime soon.  
Not the hardware for it, and more important expenses coming than buying a  
cluster for AWX.

Cheers  
MH

Not sure if it’s helpful but there is a sample template for a stock OpenLDAP at [https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/tools/docker-compose/ansible/templates/ldap\_settings.json.j2](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/tools/docker-compose/ansible/templates/ldap_settings.json.j2)

There are samples of the group/team/org maps in there.

Are you getting any messages in the logs if you enable debugging? [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/latest/html/administration/ldap\_auth.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/latest/html/administration/ldap_auth.html)
