Jasper Server MS Active Directory Hang at Login

I've been banging my head against this for two solid days. I'm trying to authenticate against Active Directory 2008 R2 using JasperServer 6.1 Community Edition. My External Auth config file is below (Mostly based on the sample provided and some of the notes from the cookbook). Domain structure is here for reference.
COM->DOMAIN->Accounts->Department1->User001
                                                  ->Department2->User004

When I try to log in with built in credentials, I log right in. If I try to log in with bad domain credentials (no password) I get an appropriate error "Invalid credentials supplied. Could not login to JasperReports Server.".

Here is the puzzle, if I login with correct domain credentials, the login process hangs at a blank webpage with the URL: http://server_name:8080/jasperserver/j_spring_security_check. If I load the webpage again, it doesn't log me in, and if I login as jasperadmin, I don't see this user in the users section. If I check my domain controller, I see good logins though, so my domain controller is receiving the request, and sending back a login accepted message.

Please help! Whats going on!?

Can't help you fix it, but I too have been trying to get AD logins working to no avail.  Exactly the same problem - LDAP bind is successful, search for roles completes, then the session dies.

Here's log entries in case anyone has any hints:

Same issue here.  Cant figure out what is not working.

I have everything configured pretty much the same.  It seems to bind to LDAP, but then gets SecurityContext is empty... then blank page.

I have been facing the same issue for a while.

Finally found the solution: add below property below the password tag for the LDAP authentication

<property name="userDn" value="CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=DOMAIN,DC=COM"/>
<property name="password" value="password"/>
<property name="referral" value="follow" />

Hi,

I too have the same problem, and <property name="referral" value="follow" /> did not help, unfortunately.

It's very frustrating, I tried with Jasper 6.1.1, 6.2.0, and now 6.3, and on different machines, and still got the same result: the LDAP is user is found, all seems ok, but we're stuck at this j_spring_security_check page.

If someone has the solution to this, please reply.

Thanks.

Hi,

I have it fixed now. 

Here is my applicationContext-externalAuth-LDAP.xml file for Jasperserver Community 6.3:

http://pastebin.com/7f7p0bGz

I created JASPER_MANAGEMENT and JASPER_USER groups on my AD and added some users, it works fine.

Users are "WorkstationUsers" in "AccessGroups" on my domain and I used a "ServiceAccounts" for the domain connection.

Looking at the original applicationContext-externalAuth-LDAP-mt.xml, there is no value in: <constructor-arg index="1"><value></value></constructor-arg> in the bean ldapAuthenticationProvider.

I fixed the same error by setting correct OU of goups I defined in AD.
