[FIXED] Spring Ldap LDAP: error code 32 - 0000208D

Issue

I am working on application to authenticate with the LDAP . Am using the spring LDAP template for authenticating but am getting the below response

{
    "message": "[LDAP: error code 32 - 0000208D: NameErr: DSID-031001E5, problem 2001 (NO_OBJECT), data 0, best match of:\n\t''\n\u0000]; nested exception is javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: [LDAP: error code 32 - 0000208D: NameErr: DSID-031001E5, problem 2001 (NO_OBJECT), data 0, best match of:\n\t''\n\u0000]; remaining name '/'"
}

below are the configuration for spring

<beans:bean id="contextSource"
    class="org.springframework.ldap.core.support.LdapContextSource">
    <beans:property name="base" value="" />
    <beans:property name="url" value="<LDAP-URL>" />
    <beans:property name="userDn" value="<USER-DN>" />
    <beans:property name="password" value="<PASSWORD>" />
</beans:bean>

<beans:bean id="ldapTemplate" class="org.springframework.ldap.core.LdapTemplate">
    <beans:constructor-arg ref="contextSource" />
</beans:bean>

Java Code:

AndFilter filter = new AndFilter();
filter.and(new EqualsFilter("objectclass", "person")).and(new       EqualsFilter("sAMAccountName", username));
boolean result = ldapTemplate.authenticate(LdapUtils.emptyLdapName(),               filter.toString(), password);

I am new to LDAP and anyhelp or example would be really great.

Solution

You don't need to specify the full dn in further operations when you've already set the base. Are you sure you have the correct specs for the server? Error 32 is usually screwing up the prefixes or directory configs!
