Users not retrieved when connecting to an LDAPS server with Advanced LDAP

Hello,

We are facing an issue when trying to connect to an LDAPS server via an Advanced LDAP connection. Currently we are using an Active Directory connection to connect to the LDAP server which works perfectly fine. However, due to company policies, we need to start using a secure LDAP (LDAPS) service.

The sync finishes successfully so the connection to the LDAPS server is happening, however no users or groups are retrieved from the server as per the log below.

 When using the exact same setting an an LDAP browser, I can see the list of users available in the particular directory. Below are the settings used in the Advanced LDAP connector.

  • User directory name: the directory name
  • Host: ldaps.xxxxx.com:636
  • Username: email address
  • Password: password
  • Timeout(seconds): 500
  • BasDN: OU=AADDC Users,DC=xxxxx,DC=com

All other setting were left to the default values, so we're not sure if we need to do some changes also to some other configs.

Hello @eghigo977 ,

You could try removing the port from the LDAPS path as shown here:

As the connection succeeds I'm sure the certificate has been installed, correct?
