@mks27  Your configuration has a ldap://... address; however, you have configured the "authentication strategy as LDAPS.  This needs to be "SIMPLE" instead of "LDAPS".   I would also recommend that you change the "Identity Strategy" form " USE_DN" to "USE_USERNAME". ldap exception with data 52e typically means bad password. Also consider that the login-identity-providers.xml configuration file is XML. XML has special characters that if used in your manager password must be escaped or change your manager password to not use these special characters:   & replace with &amp; < replace with &lt; > replace with &gt; " replace with &quot; ‘ replace with &apos;     If you found that the provided solution(s) assisted you with your query, please take a moment to login and click Accept as Solution below each response that helped.
