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?

           <search-base>cn=galaxy,ou=Security,ou=somegroup,dc=example,dc=org</search-base>
            <search-filter>(&amp;(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName={username}))</search-filter>
            <search-user>ADsearchAccount</search-user>
            <search-password>AD_Search_Passwrd</search-password>
            <bind-user>{sAMAccountName}</bind-user>

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>
