[solved] Ldap with apache - Issue

[charon]

Hi community  :P

im facing an issue with ldap right now. I want to configure some authentification and dynamic report based on roles in an ldap server. The ldap server is Apache directory server & studio. I already managed to install and configure the ldap server itself, but i wont be able to get Cognos 10.1.1 connect to it.

I have tried different settings in cognos configuration, the test always works, but im not able to log in on Cog Connection, receiving the error message "The provided credentials are invalid. Please type your credentials for authentication. "

Settings: Cognos BI 10.1.1
local installation on a win 7 pc
apache 2.2 server
apache directory server & studio for ldap
the ldap server runs on localhost:10389
ldif is the example.ldif that comes with apache (dc=example, dc=com)

Here is a screenshot from my cognos connection
http://prntscr.com/56v1u

As you guys can see i already modified the size limit and time out -intervall. also, i did used another "user lookup" (uid=${userID}, dc=example, dc=com)...


Everytime im using the correct port i get an connection, the test in cognos configuration is successfull. But i can not log in on the cognos connection site...


Any Ideas? What am i missing here?
Lookin forward to hints :)

I have never used ApacheDS and know almost nothing about ldap anyway but try using
   (uid=${userID})
as user lookup ("()" means it is used as a search filter).

Thank you prikala, i did not know this fact nor did it work until i changed it as you suggested...AND i had to add new attributes in my LDAP Server (password)...it was confusing, because it did not work on the log in i use first.
But long speak short, your hint solved the issue for me.

Thank you again and have a nice day
