Hi,

I'm using Liferay EE 6.0 sp2/Tomcat on Ubuntu Server 11.04/64bit.

I have Active Directory users importing correctly into Liferay, but I am unable to log in using the AD user details...

I also use the Liberal Screen Name Validator because our usernames (mailNickname) have underscores in - e.g. mine is ben_b

In the database, the user_ table is showing the correct fields being populated too.

I have the set up as below:



When I try and log in as a user I can see in the database I get the following:

 109:48:08,829 DEBUG [LDAPAuth:362] Authenticator is enabled

21group=memberOf
22fullName=cn

Thanks for any help or advice, I assume I must have a filter set wrongly or something similar.

Won't find it in any version unless you create it and fill it with the variables and values you want to over-ride.
