[ER7212PC] LDAP Authentication Failed in VPN Policy
I'm trying to configure an OpenVPN policy with LDAP login on my ER7212PC as described here. However, every time I try to authenticate with OpenVPN, I get an "Authentication Failed" error, and no logs show up on the LDAP server.
This is my LDAP profile configuration:

If I click on the "Group Distinguished Name" search button, the LDAP tree shows up as expected:

Also, I can see the Omada requests on the LDAP server logs:

As far as I can tell, the profile is correctly configured and I can list all existing users and groups.
My VPN profile is configured as such:

Are there any additional logs I can check on the Omada side, to get a better understanding of what's going on?
Thank you!

After confirmation, the ER7212PC does not support LDAP; the configuration option was made available by mistake and will be removed in a future firmware update.

Thank you for your post.Apart from this OVPN instance, do you have any other applications that successfully authenticate against the same LDAP server?

Hi, @Ethan-TP, thanks for your response.
Yes, this LDAP server has been in production for around 3 years and I have multiple applications and Linux servers authenticating through it.

I installed an ldap server on a raspberry pi, I can't log in to the vpn either, I haven't tested from other applications so I don't know if the ldap server works as it should, but I can browse the ldap server. I have no idea about ldap so it's entirely possible I've done something wrong with the server, I don't know..

I'm following this thread with great interest since I've been thinking about installing such a solution for a long time.

Well, that's disappointing to hear... Is this feature implementation planned at all?
Anyway, thank you for your help sorting this out.

There’s no confirmed plan for this addition at the moment, but I’ll forward your request; the relevant team will evaluate it.
