Hi, I ran into this same problem last year when we upgraded GeoServer from 2.12.2 to 2.19.2. Here's the thread I opened on the issue back then:
https://sourceforge.net/p/geoserver/mailman/geoserver-users/thread/CA%2B8gfLZ_55Vi%3Ds65PynNh34ScUFc4aJjFWFuXYFdQbP%2BqBFBXg%40mail.gmail.com/#msg37271563 Our discussions didn't produce any results, so I ended up going with this hack after we upgraded to GeoServer 2.19.2, removed these two jars: gs-sec-ldap-2.19.2.jar gs-web-sec-ldap-2.19.2.jar Then installing the related jars from the last working version, 2.15.2: gs-sec-ldap-2.15.2.jar gs-web-sec-ldap-2.15.2.jar This got things working for our use and hasn't caused any issues. FYI, there was another person in our same boat: https://sourceforge.net/p/geoserver/mailman/geoserver-users/thread/d2bb87fd-7a89-0aa5-7a3f-e975aaeba967%40posteo.de/ Thanks, Brandon On Wed, Mar 30, 2022 at 5:58 PM Brad Hards <br...@frogmouth.net> wrote: > > On Wednesday, 30 March 2022 10:29:35 PM AEDT you wrote: > > Indeed, I only need to bind the user to check the user identity, which will > > always be considered as an administrator of GeoServer.
