LDAp was already running fine 2 years ago with Geoserver 2.13 when I joined my new employer. Our role service confguration (german ui) is approximately as follows: Administrator Role: ROLE_ADMIN Group administrator role: ROLE_GRUPPEN_ADMIN Server-URL: ldap://****.de:389/dc=huhu,dc=de No TLS search base for groups; ou=ogc_dienste Suchfilter für Gruppenzugehörigkeit von Benutzern: member=cn={0},ou=user,dc=huhu,dc=de Suchfilter für alle Gruppen: cn=* verwendeter Filter für Benutzersuche: member=cn={0},ou=user,dc=huhu,dc=de authentification credentials and not Enable Hierarchical groups search Stefan Am 01.06.2020 um 13:23 schrieb Richard Duivenvoorde: > Hi Stefan, > > Thank, for the check!
