Problem connecting qlik server to LDAP

Hi,

when configuring connection to LDAP, I receive this error message :

14/06/2017 11:47:55.9772795Information(ActiveDirectory.ActiveDirectoryProvider) Looking up RootDSE: LDAP://ldapservername/RootDSE

where ldapservername is the name of the ldap server

and username is the username which has access to this server

of course, the password iw typed correctly

if I use a tool such as AD Explorer with the same user and password, I have no problem

And this user is already used to access another LDAP server on the QV server and it works perfectly

Any idea ?

the problem has been resolved by using a user specially created for this use. it is a service account
