Hello everyone,
I'm new here. My company is looking for a PM tool. But a light one.
We want to test "Wekan". I installed Wekan on a Debian 12 with snap.
We want to use LDAP for user login. Our AD is a Windows 2019 AD server.
Here what I have configured for now:
Key Value
ldap-authentication true
ldap-authentication-password xxx
ldap-authentication-userdn CN=Wekan LDAP Reader,OU=Wekan,OU=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=com
ldap-background-sync true
ldap-background-sync-import-new-users true
ldap-background-sync-interval every 1 hours
ldap-background-sync-keep-existant-users-updated true
ldap-basedn OU=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=com
ldap-connect-timeout 10000
ldap-enable true
ldap-encryption false
ldap-fullname-field cn
ldap-group-filter-enable true
ldap-group-filter-group-id-attribute cn
ldap-group-filter-object-class groupOfNames
ldap-host xxx.xxx.xxx.com
ldap-idle-timeout 10000
ldap-log-enabled true
ldap-login-fallback false
ldap-port 389
ldap-reconnect true
ldap-sync-admin-groups administrators
ldap-sync-admin-status true
ldap-timeout 10000
ldap-unique-identifier-field sAMAccountName
ldap-user-search-field sAMAccountName
ldap-username-field sAMAccountName
mail-from WeKan wekan@xxx.com
mail-url smtp://xxx.xxx.com:25/?ignoreTLS=true&secure=false
port 80
root-url http://xxx.xxx.xxx.com

Here the error I receive if I try to login with "LDAP":

2025-07-23T08:03:03+02:00 wekan.wekan[26090]: [INFO] Init LDAP login "test"
2025-07-23T08:03:03+02:00 wekan.wekan[26090]: {"line":"92","file":"ldap.js","message":"Init setup","time":{"$date":1753250583670},"level":"info"}

So the connection to the LDAP is OK but the search is not matching.

But if I am doing the command ldapsearch, then I don't have a problem. Here the command:
ldapsearch -x -H ldap://xxx.xxx.xxx.com -D "Wekan LDAP Reader" -w "xxx" -b "OU=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=com" "(sAMAccountName=test)".

Can someone help me to find out my error?

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards,
