      pfsense is successfully joined to the Active Directory server (Samba4). A group has already been created both in pfsense and in the AD (same name). Using Diagnostics > Authentication, the user is successfully authenticated and is listed under the local matching group. The local group's priviliges are:

      • User - System - Shell account access

      • WebCfg - All pages

      I also tried adding all the privileges. But neither allows me to login using said user to the webGUI. I'm getting a "Username or Password incorrect" error. I feel like I'm missing something but I don't know what exactly.

        you need to enable active directory as an Authentication Server.

        Go to:
        System - User Management
        Settings tab
        You will see Authentication Server, in the drop down select your ldap/ad server

          I see it. If I enable this, would I still be able to login as admin?
