The internal Adeloader service checks passwords via LDAP. When a user tries to log in, the logs show an 'Authorization denied' error. What are your diagnostic actions?

To diagnose the "Authorization denied" error when verifying a password via LDAP in the Adeloader service:
-
Check the correctness of credentials: ensure that the username and password are transmitted correctly.
-
Check LDAP connection settings: server address, port, protocol (LDAP/LDAPS), authentication parameters.
-
Check user permissions in LDAP: the user may not have authentication rights or may be blocked.
-
Review LDAP server logs: there may be a reason for authorization denial.
-
Check the LDAP request format: user DN, search filters, schema compliance.
-
Verify if the password has expired or if a password change is required.
-
Check network connectivity between the service and LDAP: firewall, routing.
-
Check if LDAP security policies have changed (e.g., encryption requirements).
-
Test authentication manually using ldapsearch or similar tools.
-
If caching or proxy is used, check their status.
Thus, diagnostics start with checking connection parameters and credentials, then logs and user permissions are analyzed.
