Hi, Unfortunately I cannot help with LDAP but I would be interested in another issue that you faced: "took me 2 hours to figure out this support system". Two hours for that is too long a time and I would like to know how did you spend it. We are probably blind to guess where new users try to find the contact information because we know how our web site has been looking like for several years. Therefore the path to go first into the main site http://geoserver.org/ and follow the Community tab into page http://geoserver.org/comm/ feels natural. Other Open Source GIS sites have rather similar paths: https://gdal.org, https://qgis.org, https://mapserver.org, https://postgis.net, https://postgresql.org
What was the hardest part for you? Was it to find the web site geoserver.org, that the support channels are listed in the "Community" menu, or to join to the mailing list? I know mailing lists are not so common than they used to be couple of decades ago. Do you have any suggestions about how to improve our site so that next new users would not need to spend too long time for finding the support channels and get irritated?

I've been battling with this problem alongside IT for over 3 weeks now. Not a single inch of progress. Subject: ActiveDirectory/ LDAP group authentication. Works fine in 15.2, broken in 15.3 and every version after. I've installed about 7 different versions over the the last few days, and the only one that works with LDAP groups for authentication is 15.2 and below. Ex log (15.3 and above): DEBUG [ldap.BindingLdapAuthoritiesPopulator] - Roles from search: [] Same setup using 15.2: DEBUG [ldap.BindingLdapAuthoritiesPopulator] - Roles from search: [ROLE_AUTHENTICATED, ADMIN, GROUP_ADMIN, GEO_ADMIN(ldap group)] There are numerous threads on this subject, all without any solutions. First question: Has goeserver been abandoned? It's hard to image that no one has addressed this bug during 4 major version releases. But the docs are the exact same. Second question: Does anyone, anywhere, know what might be causing this? Solutons? hacks/quick fixes? I'm sorry if I seem obtuse about this. I'm at my wits end, ive visited almost every link on the matter, including Spring docs. I am politely begging for any constructive input on this problem.
