Issue
When testing the connection to the directory server(s) that are defined in an identity source configured with the Cloud Authentication Service under the Cloud Administration Console > Users > Identity Sources > Edit > Directory Servers >  icon, testing  fails with one of  the following error message shown in the GUI:
  • Unable to connect to Active Directory server. Review the configuration details (if the identity source is Active Directory),
        or
  • Unable to connect to LDAP server. Review the configuration details (if the identity source  is LDAP).
The log message shown in the GUI, or alternatively found in the identity router's symplified log which can be viewed from Cloud Administration Console > Platform > Identity Routers > Dropdown arrow next to Edit > View Log, resembles the following:
  
Service failure [response: ServiceError [code=REMOTE_ERROR, platform=CONTROLLER, reason=LDAP 
exception occurred getting attributes for the class 'exampleClassName' from LDAP server 'ldap://<IP address of directory server>:<port>'., 
exceptionClass=com.symplified.adapter.api.userstore.ldap.LdapUserStoreException, 
stackTrace=com.symplified.adapter.api.userstore.ldap.LdapUserStoreException: LDAP exception occurred 
getting attributes for the class 'exampleClassName' from LDAP server 'ldap://<IP address of directory server>:<port>'. at
com.symplified.adapter.userstores.ldap.LdapUserStoreConnectionImpl.getClassAttributes(LdapUserStoreConnectionImpl.java:1382)
Cause
The Object Class in the identity source configuration under Cloud Administration Console > Users > Identity Sources > Edit > Object Class is set incorrectly.
Resolution
Correct the Object Class in the identity source configuration. The following are the default values based on identity source type:
  • Active Directory: user
  • LDAP: inetOrgPerson
