It doesn't like your user search base. Double check that query. Do you have an ldap browser you can try it on.

Also you may have a spurious backslash character.

Hi M, thanks for the quick response. I removed the backslash in the user and group search base and I get the same response. I also verified with LDAPAdmin that the user path and filter syntax is correct.

What I do not understand is why the same config works when starting a clean system, then fails on a restart but works again on subsequent sync tasks?

Is the usrSearchBase used in sync and not on startup? Is there any documentation that describes the usage and syntax of the configuration elements?

Again thanks for your help

There's a full sync and an incremental sync. I suspect one of them is not working, from what you are saying Full sync is O.K. But that does not square with the error message which was to do with userSearchBase 'ou=Workers,dc=vvv,dc=xxx,dc=yyy,dc=zzz'

Hi M, yes you are right - my stupid mistake. I had a syntax error AND I had inadvertently set synchronizeChangesOnly=false.

This issue is now closed.

Thanks again for your help.
