Hi John,

as a tip, you can use the tool "ldapsearch", from e.g. the package "openldap-client", to figure out with which attributes you search and which attributes you can retrieve.

Examples:
$ ldapsearch -vv -x -H ldap://dc1.example.com -b cn=Users,dc=exampke,dc=org" # retrieve all AD/ldap entries
$ ldapsearch -vv -x -H ldap://dc1.example.com -b cn=Users,dc=exampke,dc=org "uid=a_username"  # retrieve all attributes for user with uid "a_username"
$ ldapsearch -vv -x -H ldap://dc1.example.com -b cn=Users,dc=exampke,dc=org "sAMAccountName=a_username" mail # only retrieve the mail attribute by searching for the sAMAccountName


In addition, if you get it working, you might want to switch to the more secure ldaps if that is supported by your IT.

Cheers,
Jelle

Hans-Rudolf,

That got me past the error, but I i am now having issue authenticating
with against AD, as if its not able to search for the users.  Do I need
a binding service account to search AD object?  Does the bottow 5 lines
look correct?

 They look right, but I can't say whether they are correct. You need to discuss this with the person who has set up your Active Directory

<search-base>cn=galaxy,ou=Security,ou=somegroup,dc=example,dc=org</search-base>

The logs show that it found the userID and email, but gets an invalid
password on the webportal

This is very informative. Looking at line 8 in your file:


<server><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="ldap://ldap.xxx.xx">ldap://ldap.xxx.xx</server>


The element "a" is not  terminated


What happens, if you try just

<server>ldap://ldap.xxx.xx</server>
