Help with LDAP authentication

Fri Nov 16 11:38:38 EST 2012

Which version of Java (and which version windows) ?  There was a rumour a few months back that this was java version dependant.  I
have not been able to reproduce this but I mention it.

Subject: Help with LDAP authentication

I've beenn trying for about a week to get this working. 

I'm trying to authenticate with our Microsoft Active Directory service, so the following configs are relevant:

login-config

edu.vt.middleware.ldap.jaas.LdapLoginModule required

        ldapUrl="ldap://bydc1.jmu.ac.uk"

        baseDn="ou=people, dc=jmu, dc=ac, dc=uk"

        ssl="false"

// 16/11/2012 D.Wynne Have to BIND with correct user credentials

        bindDn`"cn=XXXXXXXX at jmu.ac.uk"

        bindCredential="XXXXXXXX"

With our AD you have to have a valid account in this file as it doesn't allow anonymous binding. If I leave this out I get a java
exception error in idp-process.log. Took me a while to figure that out.

Now I'e uploaded the XML file to testshib & I can access our login page ( login.jsp ). No matter what I type in the Username /
Password field I always get 

Credentials not recognised.

I've had a self signed certificate for our Apache server for years but it's different from the IDP build. How do I make the idp one
the same ? Could this be the cause ?

Thanks in advance. Any help appreciated.

There aren't any errors the idp-process.log & I have DEBUG logging for the LDAP connection:
