LDAP authentication has stopped unknown reason

Hello it seems one of the LDAP strategies has stopped working for unknown reason. I have confirmed password and the settings are correct. I have also checked the Map Groups field and confired that the user role has been added and I am able to see all the user that should be in there under LDAP Users I have also tried reloading authentication configuration with no luck. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Below is the message I am getting. Thanks

Depending on your AD implementation, and the number of users associated, you are likely hitting a search limit.

When validating against LDAP, Splunk will timeout based on several parameters. Number of users (1000 by default), search and network timeout settings, etc. If you have a large number of users, you are most likely hitting a limit before Splunk is able to find/validate the specific user.
