Can someone assist with the detailed steps to configured AD authentication for AWX when it is running on containers.

I have made use of UI and updated the LDAP details in settings tab, but I can’t login using domain credentials. Am I missing something? How to troubleshooting it from the web and task containers of AWX ?

I get invalid username and password error

Any thoughts on this please? I’m stuck here. These are container based AWX instances which are hard to identify , modify .
