SonarQube LDAP setting help

SonarQube Server / Community Build
,
1

Hi all, I’m now using SonarQube version 8.9.
Now I want to integrate LDAP into our SonarQube server.
Here is my configuration.

sonar.security.realm=LDAP
sonar.authenticator.downcase=true
ldap.url=ldap://LOCALHOST:PORT
ldap.authentication=simple

ldap.bindDn=Deron.Chen@my_company.com
ldap.bindPassword=********

ldap.user.baseDn=DC=MY_COMPANY,DC=CORP

ldap.user.request=(&(objectClass=user))

ldap.user.realNameAttribute=CN
ldap.user.emailAttribute=mail

But when I want to log in with a LDAP account, the website shows authentication failed.

and here is log in the access.log.

localhost - - [24/May/2021:11:02:09 +0800] "POST /sq/api/authentication/login HTTP/1.1" 401 - "https://localhost/sq/sessions/new?return_to=%2Fsq%2Fadmin%2Fusers" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/90.0.4430.212 Safari/537.36" "AXmcPfNhrwOGC39LAAAU"

I really need some help here.

Hi,

What do your server logs say? Specifically web.log?

Hi Ann,

Thanks for replying.
The startup log in web.log is:

Hi,

I wasn’t actually interested in the startup log. Do you see anything added to the log (web.log or the others) for a failed LDAP auth attempt?

Hi,

I got no logs in web.log when auth login failed with LDAP, but with this log in access.log

172.17.5.115 - - [07/Jun/2021:09:49:24 +0800] "POST /sq/api/authentication/login HTTP/1.1" 401 - "https://MySonarQubeIP/sessions/new?return_to=%2Fsq%2F" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/90.0.4430.212 Safari/537.36" "AXnYU+X24XsRTrctAAYP"

Hi,

LDAP errors should show up in the logs, so I’m not sure what’s going on here. I’ve flagged this for more expert attention.

Hello,

I was wondering if this particular issue was resolved. I am having a similar issue.
LDAP shows “OK” in the logs but I can’t login.
