Description

Hello,

I am trying to configure this plugin with my Nextcloud 28 instance. The authentication is handled by Keycloak via OpenID Connect Login plugin. Keycloak federates the user database from my Active Directory server, and the LDAP user backend plugin should be connected directly to my Active Directory server, bypassing Keycloak.

I installed the plugin and configured it as follows (the LDAP server is running locally):

id: 0
addressBookDisplayName: mycompany
host: localhost
port: 389
agentDn: CN=CloudContacts,OU=MyCompany-Services,DC=int,DC=example,DC=com
agentPassword: mySecretPass
bases:
  OU=MyCompany-Users,DC=int,DC=example,DC=com
searchAttributes:
  cn
  mail
  telephoneNumber
attributeMapping:
  EMAIL: mail
  FN: cn
  TEL: telephoneNumber
tEnc: none
filter:

Now, I can see my LDAP users in the contacts' menu in the top right corner of my Nextcloud user interface. Unfortunately, when I click the "Copy to address book" option, I get the Internal server error page and in the Nextcloud log system, I can see the following error:

LdapException Could not complete search with dn "CN=My Person,OU=test,OU=MyCompany-Users,DC=int,DC=example,DC=com",
query "" and filters "*". LDAP error was [-1] Can't contact LDAP server.

Research direction

Start with lib/Service/LdapQuerent.php line 55 and trace the failing copy flow through LdapCardBackend.php, AddressBook.php, and ContactsController.php. Reproduce the "Copy to address book" action with the supplied configuration and determine why the LDAP search cannot contact the server. Done means the contact copies without an internal server error.
