LDAP strategy is not returning any groups.

[fabianbr]

Hello everyone.

I have configured LDAP with my splunk, everything seems to be working correctly, but i'm getting the following error message.

"Your LDAP strategy 'ldap1' is not returning any groups. Please check your LDAP configuration or consult splunkd.log for LDAP errors."

Here's what my authentication.conf file looks like.

[authentication]
authType = LDAP
authSettings = ldap1

[ldap1]
host = sjcldap.ad.ea.com
port = 3268
SSLEnabled = 0
bindDN = esmguest
bindDNpassword = ############
userBaseDN = dc=ad,dc=ea,dc=com
userBaseFilter = (objectclass=)
groupBaseDN = dc=ad,dc=ea,dc=com
groupBaseFilter = (objectclass=)
userNameAttribute = sAMAccountName
realNameAttribute = displayName
groupMappingAttribute = uid
groupMemberAttribute = uniqueMember
groupNameAttribute = uid

[roleMap_ldap1]

And i'm seeing this in my splunkd.log file

Any help you can provide is welcomed.

Have a Great Day.

We found that only populated groups will show in the UI. Empty groups are omitted. You can probably edit the authentication.conf file to add your groups.

We also left the user filter empty.

What should be edited in the authentication.conf to be able to find empty group ?
