Having problems with LDAP authentication

I’m new to Ansible and looking for some help setting up LDAP authentication for Ansible Tower AWX

I’ve not been able to sign into Ansible Tower AWX using Domain Credentials. How can I troubleshoot this? Are there some log files somewhere that might be helpful?

Below is a screenshot of my slightly altered LDAP setup, can anyone spot where I am going wrong?

The only way to troubleshoot this is to get access to the container, but this is problematic sometimes. Let me take a look at our LDAP config and I’ll compare the two.

Well we are using AD here so our config is a bit different, but it looks like you have most of what you need.

The differences I can see are we specify the port of the LDAP URI: ldap://blahlblah.com:389

We are also searching for the sAMAccountName as well:

LDAP User Search:

[
“OU=People,ou=blah,ou=blah,o=blah”,
“SCOPE_SUBTREE”,
“(sAMAccountName=%(user)s)”
]

Thanks Dufusk… I tried your suggestions without luck. This setup page seems overly complicated compared to other apps I’ve connected to LDAP. I am wondering if Ansible has any log files that might help me troubleshoot this.

btw : Can you confirm what format do you use to sign in with a domain account? Is it user@domain.com or user/domain, etc etc?

Any other suggestions would be welcomed!

Thanks guys
