Hi,
I would start by trying to simply login (no LDAP_FILTER, ROLE_FIELD). See if that brings something to light.
Double check your credentials. Can you login to AD through other services?
How about Port? Does the AD Server have a possibility to authenticate through TLS (636 I think)?

Regards

Entirely up to you. I don't know your Ldap configuration nor how you set it up.
If someone else configured your Ldap setup, you should start by asking them.

Hi,
You should make sure the uid attribute's name is really "uid". Couldn't it be "samAccountName" or "userPrincipleName" ? (see https://ldapwiki.com/wiki/UserPrincipalName).

As proposed before, it is best to check with the person in charge of your AD.

Kind regards,
Thierry
