Hi, Sherman, Thanks for the immediate reply. I have tried this and made the changes accordingly. I am getting the error: Authentication event AuthenticationFailureBadCredentialsEvent: user1jasper; details: org.acegisecurity.ui.WebAuthenticationDetails@ef30: RemoteIpAddress: 192.168.20.72; SessionId: 590BF0BECA19898AB711FB52B7F669A5; exception: Bad credentials; nested exception is javax.naming.AuthenticationException: [LDAP: error code 49 - 80090308: LdapErr: DSID-0C090334, comment: AcceptSecurityContext error, data 531, vece] Do I need to have admin privileges for the username on the Active Directory I am trying to login with to access Jasper?
