Hi Team,

I am trying to implement OpenLDAP configuration onto AWX. Even after making all the correct changes LDAP users are unable to login to AWX.  
Below are my configuration pages.

User: awx  
I created a new user in DNS for this task.

AWX is implemented via Dockerized containers. And I even tested the connectivity of ldap server using the below command,

ldapsearch -x -H ldap://blah.com:389 -D “[awx@blah.com](mailto:awx@blah.com)” -W -b “cn=users,dc=blah,dc=com” -s sub “(cn=\*)” cn mail sn

Could anyone help me in this regards.

Thanks,  
Mithun

Can you post the LDAP error message that occurs when you try logging in? You can get the error by watching logs on the web containers as you try logging into AWX.
