LDAP search permissions no longer work

[pizzaandcheese]

Describe the bug
Ever since the 2024.8 update my LDAP user access has not been functional. I get "ldap_bind: Insufficient access (50)" when testing. Reading through the changelogs led me to finding out that the search group was removed and all LDAP permissions were moved to RBAC. I tried creating a role for LDAP search access and adding my LDAP bind user to a group with that role attached to no avail. Am I doing something wrong with my configurations?

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. have Authentik installed pre 2024.8
2. create LDAP user via Documentation
3. update to 2024.8
4. ???

Expected behavior
LDAP bind searches users

I tried changing the LDAP bind user path to cn=ldapservice,ou=users,ou=mail,dc=ldap,dc=example,dc=com to match the Provider Base DN as seen here:

I got a slightly different error this time:
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

there were some bugs for this that are fixed on 2024.8
also from the ldap container logs it looks like the outpost version doesn't match the authentik version

[pizzaandcheese]

I am using the manual outpost method for my LDAP outpost found here does this not get updated at the same frequency as everything else?

As I use docker-compose I update everything at the same time.

I also have already updated to 2024.8.2 with no fix yet :(

[BeryJu]

the latest image gets updated at the same time, but I recommend explicitly using a version tag. On startup the outpost prints which version it is, could you post the logs from the container start?

Same issue here, LDAP is broken. Outpost has been updated to the latest version [2024.8.2]

I managed to figure this out.

After reading through the LDAP Provider setup found here I noticed that my stage bindings were different than what was in the guide. Below is an image of what I had in my stage bindings.

I deleted the Password Stage binding and everything worked!

I'm not entirely sure why this stage binding was here, but oh well.

Check yours @McGeaverBeaver maybe its the same issue?
