I assume Ubuntu includes OpenLDAP. So you should use the ldap subsystem, not the ldap-ad subsystem, which is for Active Directory.

With the latest 3.2 release, you don't need to set userNameFormat - it will resolve the full user DN using userSearchBase.

And please ensure you use a valid DN for ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.principal

So you need something like:

authentication.chain=ldap1:ldap
ldap.authentication.userNameFormat=# Left blank intentionally
ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.principal=uid\=adminUserName,ou\=OUUserNames,ou\=OUName,dc=dcName,dc=dcName
ldap.authentication.defaultAdministratorUserNames=adminUserName
ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.credentials=password
ldap.synchronization.groupSearchBase=ou\=OUGroupName,ou\=OUName,dc=dcName,dc=dcName
ldap.synchronization.userSearchBase=ou\=OUUserNames,ou\=OUName,dc=dcName,dc=dcName

If you are using Active Directory, then you have got most of it right. Just check that @mycompany.com is the correct UPN suffix (User Principal Name suffix) for your install.
