Matrix-based security does not authenticate group users in Active Directory

[SamL]

Hello Folks,

We are facing an issue where Matrix-based security does not appear to be authenticating against users in groups.

We have tried both:

Active Directory and LDAP Security Realms and the issue appears in both  cases

We we add an Active Directory name in the Matrix-based security  users in that group only see the settings applied to anonymous.

It works find for individual  users.

There are no  errors in the log file either.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Jenkins 1.509.4

Does it show the 'group' icon, or an error icon when you're assigning permissions to a group?

What's the result when running the test script at https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/LDAP+Plugin#LDAPPlugin-Troubleshooting ?

When you open http://yourjenkins/whoAmI, are all the expected groups shown for the currently logged in user?

Jenkins (at least LDAP) doesn't do recursive group resolution, i.e. if there's a 'users' group, which has member groups like 'developers' and 'managers', and you're only a member of 'developers', then Jenkins does not consider you a member of 'users'!

Thank you for the reply Daniel.
This was a weird issue, that seems to have gone away.
All we did was to leave the Active Directory  and Matrix-based security enable overnight and the next day things began working ok.

Not sure what that is all about.

This was my issue

For job project-base security to work with AD group/ user configured in a job,

remove from AD group / user from 'configure global security'
