hi all, is there a simple way to validate that the LLDAP setup is working? is it meant to search the LDAP directory for users using the Windows Contacts app?

Here's a brand new thread for you! Please keep the discussion for this problem in this thread.

Hi! I haven't tried with the contacts app, but I suppose it will require some additional fields, to pass for an active directory server. Also, I don't know how contacts is configured, but you need a username/password before you can look stuff up. Usually LLDAP is used for other self-hosted services, is there anything you want to run? If you just want to validate it's working, you can try an LDAP viewer

all good, it appears i was getting the 'Naming Violation' error irrespective of which app I used to try and authenticate with
