QuoteThe ldap_bind() call is being muted in the code, that is indeed a bit hard to trace. I will try to improve the error reporting for 15.7.25 out on Monday.

Much appreciated. :) The better the error messages, the faster I can figure out how and why I'm being stupid.

QuoteCan't help you with logs, but do upgrade to the latest version before continuing any further.

Good idea, so I did that. I like the updated menu layout.

I managed to resolve the issue, mostly by poking around and thinking really hard like a bear of very little brain. I had pointed the system to external DNS servers, but I was trying to resolve an internal host... Like I said, very little brain.

Once I pointed to a DNS server that could actually resolve my domain controller, everything worked great. I did notice one UI issue that might cause issues for others. The authentication containers selection window is non-resizeable (at least in IE 11), so if you have more than 7 containers, they spill off the bottom of the window. I resolved it by narrowing the search scope, but users in a complex organization would probably have to resort to typing the container DNs by hand.

Thanks for everyone's help!

I am setting up OPNsense 15.7.18_1-amd64 (OpenSSL) hosted on ESXi-5.5.0. I am trying to set up an LDAP authentication server against a local Active Directory domain controller. When I click the Select button in the Containers section, I get the informative message: "Could not connect to the LDAP server. Please check your LDAP configuration."

So, my main question is, how in the world do I troubleshoot this? Are there any log files or other tests that could give me more information?
