Description
I have configured the plugin for LDAP-only authentication to Active Directory.
The two test buttons return the expected number of users in the directory and the two test users in the intended AD-group respectively.
However, neither of the two users can log in and are greeted with incorrect username and password.
I can find no instruction beyond the steps already taken and no log entries which seem relevant.
Plugin version is v4.3.1 running on matomo 4.6.2
What am I missing?

Research direction
Start by reproducing LDAP-only authentication with LoginLdap v4.3.1 on Matomo 4.6.2, using the two directory users and intended AD group described in the report. Inspect the authentication flow and available logging to determine why directory lookup succeeds while login is denied. Done means identifying a reproducible cause and documenting or verifying the configuration or code change that permits valid users to log in.
