I was using Gerrit for quite some time, and I was using LDAP for login. At that time, the username didn't contain any special characters like '.'. But, as the policy changed, the new usernames contained '.' in them. Now, the new users are unable to login to Gerrit. The Gerrit configuration file is:
[gerrit]
basePath = git
canonicalWebUrl = http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/
[database]
type = mysql
hostname = localhost
database = reviewdb
username = root
[index]
type = LUCENE
[auth]
type = LDAP_BIND
[ldap]
server = ldap://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
accountPattern = (sAMAccountName=${username})
accountBase = OU=XXXX USERS,DC=xxx,DC=xxxx,DC=xxx
accountScope = sub
referral = follow
accountEmailAddress = ${username}@xxxxxx.com
[sendemail]
smtpServer = smtprelay.xxxxx.com
smtpServerPort = 25
[container]
user = root
javaHome = /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre
[sshd]
listenAddress = *:29418
[httpd]
listenUrl = http://*:8080/
[cache]
directory = cache
Error log:
[2016-02-11 18:08:56,560] INFO com.google.gerrit.httpd.auth.ldap.LdapLoginServlet : 'xxx.xxxx' failed to sign in: Incorrect username or password
I was using the correct username and password. Is there any additional configurations that need to be added?
Gerrit Version: Gerrit Code Review (2.9.1) Host machine: Ubuntu 12.04
I have configured my gerrit int this way I think you need change auth type LDAP_BIND to LDAP
[auth]
type = LDAP
[LDAP]
server = ldap://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:XXXX
username = CN=XXX,CN=Users,DC=XXX,DC=local
password = XXXXX
accountBase = DC=XXX,DC=local
accountScope = subtree
accountPattern = (&(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=${username}))
groupBase = DC=XXX,DC=local
accountFullName = displayName
sslVerify = false
referral = follow
