LDAP server configuration is not working in Sakai 22.1

Question

I have installed Sakai 22.1 and the LMS is running fine. Now I need to integrate the instance to support authentication against LDAP server users (external users) as well as internal users.

To integrate with the LDAP I have uncommented the in components.xml and then modified the unboundid-ldap.xml according to the documentation at https://sakaiproject.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOC/pages/32201507026/Sakai+22+LDAP+CAS+Configuration in the section "Add LDAP to Sakai".

The properties that I have changed are:

<property name="ldapHost">
 <list>
     <value>ldap.server.com</value>
</list>
</property>


<property name="ldapPort">
<list>
   <value>389</value>
</list>
</property>


<property name="ldapUser">
   <value>CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=ldap,DC=server,DC=com</value>
</property>


<property name="ldapPassword">
   <value>my secret password here</value>
</property>


<property name="autoBind">
   <value>true</value>
</property>


<property name="basePath">
   <value>dc=ldap,dc=server,dc=com</value>
</property>

I haven't touched any other stuff in the unboundid-ldap.xml file.

Now when I start the tomcat server and try to login with the LDAP users, I do not get authenticated but I can only authenticate with the internal users.

Why is this happening? Do I need to make any other changes to the Sakai? Any guidance on setting up LDAP would be great. Thanks in advance.

Change uid to sAMAccountName for the key login in the unboundid-ldap.xml.

<property name="attributeMappings">
   <map>
        <entry key="login"><value>sAMAccountName</value></entry>         
        <entry key="firstName"><value>givenName</value></entry> 
        <entry key="preferredFirstName"><value>preferredName</value></entry>
        <entry key="lastName"><value>sn</value></entry> 
        <entry key="email"><value>mail</value></entry>  
        <entry key="groupMembership"><value>groupMembership</value></entry>   
        <entry key="jpegPhoto"><value>jpegPhoto</value></entry>   
    </map>
</property>
