Has there been any update on this issue? I have Jenkins 1.636 and i still see this exact issue. Please let me know how can this be fixed. I used LDAP plugin and our company use Oracle not Active Directory.
LDAP plugin works agains AD server in which users are a member of nested groups. You just need to change the query on the plugin following the section of the wiki "Tips and Tricks".
In order to set proper expectation, I have unassigned Kohsuke from this tickets. Currently there is no Default assignee in the LDAP plugin, any contributions will be appreciated.
Setting "Group membership" to Search for groups containing user and the "Group membership filter": {{(&(objectCategory=group)(member:1.2.840.113556.1.4.1941:={0})) }}worked for me, but was incredibly slow to the point of making builds with the Authorize Project plugin impossible. Then I found the section under "Performance Tuning" that indicated we should enable caching and :tada: it works!
