      Hello,

      I’m currently experiencing an authentication issue with my setup. The system does not authenticate successfully even though I believe I followed the official documentation for configuring LDAP, including the certificates and STunnel configuration. However, the authentication attempt still fails.

      I will provide screenshots of my current configuration in case someone can identify any mistakes or misconfigurations in my setup.

      For reference:

      Our Organizational Unit (OU) name contains spaces.
      Our user email format starts with user@school.edu.com.

      It’s possible that I may have missed something in the configuration. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Thank you very much.

        The LDAP transport to STunnel should be 'TCP-standard' not SSL/TLS. In CE STunnel does the SSL/TLS part.

          Still the same issue, admin. Even though I tried ‘TCP-standard’, it still shows the error ‘Authentication Failed.’

            Still nothing more useful logged?

            Try running pcaps. Make sure it's at least trying to connect.
