JupyterHub AD integration failing with "No entry found for user" message

I’m trying to get AD authentication working for JupyterHub. This is what my jupyterhub_config.py file looks like…
c.JupyterHub.authenticator_class=‘ldapauthenticator.LDAPAuthenticator’
c.LDAPAuthenticator.server_address=‘AD.CORP.COM’
c.LDAPAuthenticator.server_port = 389
c.LDAPAuthenticator.lookup_dn = True
c.LDAPAuthenticator.lookup_dn_search_filter = ‘({login_attr}={login})’
c.LDAPAuthenticator.user_search_base = ‘dc=ad,dc=corp,dc=com’
c.LDAPAuthenticator.user_attribute = ‘sAMAccountName’
c.LDAPAuthenticator.lookup_dn_user_dn_attribute = ‘cn’
c.LDAPAuthenticator.escape_userdn=True
c.LDAPAuthenticator.bind_dn_template="{username}"

When I start my JupyterHub using “jupyterhub -f /etc/jupyterhub/jupyterhub_config.py --log-level=DEBUG” and try to login, I receive the following error message…
[D 2022-04-28 00:22:47.585 JupyterHub ldapauthenticator:260] Looking up user with:
search_base = ‘dc=ad,dc=corp,dc=com’
search_filter = ‘(sAMAccountName=snewberr)’
attributes = ‘sAMAccountName’
[W 2022-04-28 00:22:47.675 JupyterHub ldapauthenticator:277] No entry found for user ‘snewberr’ when looking up attribute ‘sAMAccountName’
[W 2022-04-28 00:22:47.675 JupyterHub base:820] Failed login for snewberr

Any thoughts on how I can address this issue?

Thanks,
Stuart

AD can be quite tricky to get working. If you search this forum you’ll find a few other posts with some ideas. Otherwise you might need to talk with your AD admin to check the logs from their end, or to see if they’re missing some configuration.
