Been using the same config and was working up until recently:

- setting: AUTH\_LDAP\_GROUP\_TYPE

value: ‘ActiveDirectoryGroupType(name\_attr=“cn”)’

but now seeing error in awx\_web logs:

rest\_framework.exceptions.ValidationError: [ErrorDetail(string=‘Missing required parameters in AUTH\_LDAP\_GROUP\_TYPE\_PARAMS.’, code=‘missing\_parameters’)]  
2023-03-06 20:46:00,808 WARNING [c3296ac387b5420cb7ffea58ecb75df2] awx.conf.registry Unable to retrieve default value for setting “AUTH\_LDAP\_GROUP\_TYPE”.

I don’t see anything in docs about this changing and have tried adding member\_attr. but same issue.

not sure what version was working previously, but for newer AWX you should have the name\_attr=“cn” as the value for the AUTH\_LDAP\_GROUP\_TYPE\_PARAMS setting

AUTH\_LDAP\_GROUP\_TYPE should just be “ActiveDirectoryGroupType”
