Your properties file is hard to read :-) and some of the ldap configuration seems to be cut off at the end

ahhh better

ldap.authentication.userNameFormat=

would be default for LDAP ( Ian Wright )

And you should set your ldap.synchronization.userIdAttributeName (not visible on your tree screenshot)

I usally also define the queries in global properties, for example like:

ldap.synchronization.groupQuery=(objectClass=group)

ldap.synchronisation.personQuery=(objectClass=user)

or on posix:

ldap.synchronisation.personQuery=(objectclass=posixAccount)

ldap.synchronisation.groupQuery=(objectclass=posixGroup)

and the differential queries. But you need know how your classes are named.

i did that but it always connect to the default users not ldap users

could you please give me your email ?

I had a similar issue and I followed this site to get my ldap authentication working.

I would prefer to discuss it in the community, so we'd have more content and problem solutions here.
