I´m triying to connect to MS AD with JR 5.5. I don´t get any error on catalina or jasperserver logs. This is my applicationContext-externalAuth-LDAP.xml file and the AD directory view: <bean id="ldapAuthenticationManager" class="org.springframework.security.providers.ProviderManager"> <property name="providers"> <list> <ref local="ldapAuthenticationProvider"/> <ref bean="${bean.daoAuthenticationProvider}"/> <!-- anonymousAuthenticationProvider only needed if filterInvocationInterceptor.alwaysReauthenticate is set to true <ref bean="anonymousAuthenticationProvider"/>--> </list> </property> </bean> <bean id="ldapAuthenticationProvider" class="org.springframework.security.providers.ldap.LdapAuthenticationProvider"> <constructor-arg> <bean class="org.springframework.security.providers.ldap.authenticator.BindAuthenticator"> <constructor-arg><ref local="ldapContextSource"/></constructor-arg> <property name="userDnPatterns"> <list> <value>uid={0},ou=Users</value> </list> </property> </bean> </constructor-arg> <constructor-arg> <bean class="org.springframework.security.ldap.populator.DefaultLdapAuthoritiesPopulator"> <constructor-arg index="0"><ref local="ldapContextSource"/></constructor-arg> <constructor-arg index="1"><value>ou=MyGroups,dc=elver,dc=com</value></constructor-arg> <property name="groupRoleAttribute"><value>cn</value></property> <property name="groupSearchFilter"><value>(&(objectClass=group)(member={0}))</value></property> <property name="searchSubtree"><value>true</value></property> <property name="defaultRole" value="ROLE_LDAP"/> <!-- Can setup additional external default roles here <property name="defaultRole" value="LDAP"/> --> </bean> </constructor-arg> </bean> <bean id="userSearch" class="org.springframework.security.ldap.search.FilterBasedLdapUserSearch"> <constructor-arg index="0"><value></value></constructor-arg> <constructor-arg index="1"><value>(&(objectClass=user)(sAMAaccountName={0})</value></constructor-arg> <constructor-arg index="2"><ref local="ldapContextSource" /></constructor-arg> <property name="searchSubtree"><value>true</value></property> </bean> <bean id="ldapContextSource" class="com.jaspersoft.jasperserver.api.security.externalAuth.ldap.JSLdapContextSource"> <constructor-arg value="ldap://10.10.30.1:389/dc=elver,dc=com"/> <!-- manager user name and password (may not be needed) --> <property name="userDn"><value>cn=Administrator,dc=elver,dc=com</value></property> <property name="password"><value>password</value></property> </bean> Thanks in advance.
