Hi @Tarun_Gaur,

Yes, we are still facing the issue with binding.
We are planning to upgrade to enterprise edition in our organization . But before that we are trying out LDAP integration with Trial Enterprise image.
Could you please help on this.

Thanks,

In case, if these documentations did not solve your issue, please DM me your contact details so I can notify the relevant teams. They should be contacting you shortly.

Feel free to reach out again for any help required.

Hi Tarun,

Thanks for your response.

Since we are from the organization, we can’t share official contact details and can’t connect with it. Hence explaining the issues here.

We are getting the below errors while trying to execute the Mongoldap command as below.

**mongoldap --user <user_name> --password <password> -f <mongo.conf file path>**

[FAIL] Attempted to bind to LDAP server without TLS with a plaintext password.
* Sending a password over a network in plaintext is insecure.
* To fix this issue, enable TLS or switch to a different LDAP bind mechanism.

We are following the below configurations (with our LDAP server details )from MongoDB’s official documentation.

Source: https://mongodb.prakticum-team.ru/docs/manual/tutorial/authenticate-nativeldap-activedirectory/

security:
   authorization: "enabled"
   ldap:
      servers: "activedirectory.example.net"
      bind:
         queryUser: "mongodbadmin@dba.example.com"
         queryPassword: "secret123"
      userToDNMapping:
         '[
            {
               match: "(.+)",
               ldapQuery: "DC=example,DC=com??sub?(userPrincipalName={0})"
            }
         ]'
      authz:
         queryTemplate: "{USER}?memberOf?base"
setParameter:
   authenticationMechanisms: "PLAIN"

So how we can implement LDAP bind mechanism to overcome these errors and connect to the LDAP server?

Thanks,
KarthicK

Sadly, I won’t be able to help you with this error as I do not have experience with LDAP, I would recommend you contact the support via Contact Us | MongoDB and you can also use the in-app chat support by clicking on chat icon on bottom right of the same support page.
