Hi Nikhil,
Can you help me with the below details,
- the user you have selected is it shown via the LDAP tree structure?
- Or is this a service account?
- Attach the applicationContext-security-ldap.properties file from /pentaho-solutions/system directory
- Can you select the LDAP Provider to "Custom Configuration" and modify the search base where all your users are located

Subject: Getting error; Admin user issue, Pentaho configuration with LDAP
While configuring LDAP active directory with Pentaho BA server.
We need to put server url, username & password then clicked on 'Test Server Connection' It's fine, I am able to connect LDAP server.
After that while inserting - "Pentaho System Administrator" details
Select user from LDAP server:
Select role from LDAP server:
I have selected Username but getting error as - "During your search, we were unable to find Admin user PentaHO. Please try a different Admin user."
PentaHO is username which I have selected.
Please help why getting such error, Even if all domain rights given to that perticular(PentaHO) user in LDAP active directory.
