@Mike Li

Please verify ldap url as it looks like there is typo or url is not correct

[#3]

This is the ldap url, did not see anything wrong with it:

authentication.ldap.primaryUrl=ldap.xxxx.com:389

[#4]

@Mike Li

Could you run ambari-server sync and then paste entries from log? May be, something wrong with DN.

This is sample from my demo env

[#5]

@Mike Li As mentioned earlier

Please check url. You are mentioning ldap://host:389

please provide host:389 instead ladp://host:389

@Mike Li

I believe you are giving ldap url as Primary URL* {host:port} (ldap://ldap.xxxxxxx.com:389): ldap://ldap.xxxxx.com:389

Please see the following format.

Primary URL* {host:port} xxxxx:389 ( You don't need to give ldap://xxxxx:389)

http://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/Ambari-2.1.2.1/bk_Ambari_Security_Guide/content/_setting_up...

authentication.ldap.primaryUrlserver:portThe hostname and port for the LDAP or AD server. Example: my.ldap.server:389

[#8]

After changing to server:port ,it works. Thank you!

[#9]

All,

I think you may have missed an important thing:

sudo /usr/sbin/ambari-server setup-ldap

Using python/usr/bin/python2.7

Setting up LDAP properties...

We only support python 2.6.6, using 2.7 causes many many issues. Please use python 2.6.6. Also, I suggest you do an ldapsearch to test your settings:

ldapsearch -x -H ldap://ldap.xxxxx.com -b dc=CENTENE,dc=com -D "CN=xxxxxx,OU=LDAP,DC=xxxxxxx,DC=com" -W "(sAMAccountName=<User-to-search-for>)"
