[JENKINS-22616] Active Directory Plugin not working with project based authorization matrix

We recently installed the Active Directory plugin, and are able to configure it to work when we click the 'Test' button. However, it does not seem to take effect when we try to add AD distribution groups into the project level authorization matrices. The plugin seem to pick up the group names correctly (no red X), but people in the group still don't see things like the 'build' link that they are supposed to have been granted.
