Getting APEX/Ords 21.1 connect to LDAP (Active Directory)

Andrew WatkinsJul 8 2021

Hello,
New to APEX & ORDS (standalone) and I have installed APEX and all seems to be working.
I can login as administrator via the browser (INTERNAL/ADMIN/password)
I follow How to Configure LDAP Authentication for Workspaces in APEX (Doc ID 2035320.1)
Which says you can do anything vi the GUI

- Host: <LDAP_SERVER>

  • Port: (You can leave empty if using the default port - 389)
  • Use SSL: No SSL
  • Distinguished Name (DN) String: cn=%LDAP_USER%,cn=users,dc=us,dc=<COMPANY>,dc=com (Replace the dc values with those for your domain)
  • Use Exact Distinguished Name (DN): No
  • Search Filter: uid=%LDAP_USER%
  • LDAP Username Edit Function: (leave empty)
  • Username Escaping: Standard
    And then make the Development Environment Authentication Schemes to use "LDAP DirectoryThis scheme checks credentials against an LDAP repository"
    And create a new user APEX_ADMIN in APEX INTERNAL and Active Directory.
    Then try to log into via the browser (INTERNAL/APEX_ADMIN/password) I get "Invalid Login Credentials"
    HOW DO I DEBUG IT.
    Are there any log files which would show what is happening when I log in?
    Windows log files do not register a failed login, so think nothing sent to AD
    Snoop (solaris) traffic to AD domain control and no traffic
    Any pointers
    Andrew
