Question

I\'m new to ldap and I was trying what I thought was a trivial example to test the spring ldap module with an ldap instance that someone had already setup for testing.

Answer 1

It turns out I just needed to include everything in the distinguished name(including the organization unit). Using

contextSource.setBase(...);

for some reason did not work. After making that correction all was fine.

contextSource.setUserDn("cn=john,ou=Users,dc=testathon,dc=net");
