I've run into an issue where having Organizations and connected to LDAP caused jasperadmin to stop working. For example. in the applicationContext-security.xml file I had the authentication manager pointing to LDAP and the DAO providers: <bean id="authenticationManager" class="org.springframework.security.providers.ProviderManager"> <property name="providers"> <list> <ref local="ldapAuthenticationProvider"/> <ref bean="${bean.daoAuthenticationProvider}"/> </list> </property> </bean> I was able to login as my network user and the JasperAdmin user until I setup organizations. At that point on, any user who has admin porivilages that was not in Active Directory/LDAP was no longer able to login even if the organization was specified. However "joeuser" was able to login and the network users were also able to login. We're using 4.1.0
