    A 401 error usually appears in 2 situations:

    2.There is an error during authorization of the LDAP service account specified in the configuration file.

    What you should check:

    1. Is there a connection to LDAP?

    • Check that the LDAP URL in the configuration file is correct.
    • Check that an active SSL certificate is being used.
    • If the connection is using TLS, make sure that the TLS endpoint is correctly specified. For example: TLS_ENDPOINTS=ldaps.example.com:636

    2. Check that the LDAP service account specified in the configuration file is authorized.

    • Check that the authorization fields are correctly filled in.
      For example, if you are using docker compose, you should have the following fields:

      LDAP_LOGIN_SA='cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com'

      LDAP_LOGIN_SA_PASS='<secret>'
