    Normally, you would enter the search expression in SearchFilter to pull out the corresponding data from the LDAP.

    We would use this:

    (sAMAccountName=%{session.logon.last.username})

Minn Hi, Thanks for your response. I put the string to both LDAP query and LDAP Auth. Found out that the problem is that BaseDN of the Groups was different. Thanks. -Nat
