In my LDAP I have a testuser in a testgroup.
When I execute an ldapsearch on testuser I get

My LDAP configuration in VCD is
User

Group

and what I get when I test it is

so everything seems to be ok in users but not in groups
I hope this will help you to start your configuration and someone can help me to configure groups mapping

Subject: Cloud Director LDAP integration with OpenLDAP server
Hello,
I am trying on synchronizing Cloud Director LDAP with the OpenLDAP server to import users into VMware Cloud Director portal. The versions are:
- Cloud Director 10.5.1
- OpenLDAP 20446
The only documentation I can find is from 2021 and it is quite insufficient - Configure, Test, and Synchronize an LDAP Connection
The situation is as follows:
VCD LDAP successfully connects to the OpenLDAP server, but every time I test the connection, it reports an issue with the LDAP attributes.

It seems like a mapping issue between LDAP and VCD. I modified and changed the values of the VCD LDAP attributes and group attributes multiple times, but the issue still persists. Currently, they look like this:


I am confident that they are correct because I previously retrieved the parameters from the OpenLDAP server using
ldapsearch -x -H ldap://ldap.DOMAIN.com:389
Let someone who has already integrated VCD LDAP with OpenLDAP share their opinion.
