Is the test connection working ok?  Can users log in?  If you are using a bind user, you need to put the full name of the user and the password there - if not, that should be blank...

Yes, the test connection is working. No, the users are not able to log in

So should the remove this DC=dc,DC=domainname,DC=com and just add the username and password for accessing AD?

OR 

CN=Ambrish,DC=dc,DC=domainname,DC=com and the password to login to AD?

Thanks, Emma


The AD Sync user is working now. It should be CN = Ambrish, Dc=dc,DC=domainname,Dc=com. 

And the password of CN user i.e. Ambrish

Hello Emma,


I have a query. I was able to log in using the AD on a windows machine. I have an Ubuntu 16.04 TLS desktop version when I am trying the same configuration is not working out. Also, the Ubuntu machine is not connected to my AD while in case of windows machine it was connected to the AD.

So is it mandatory that the machine needs to be connected to the AD network for working of Moodle AD configuration?
