Hi @piyush48,

Looking at some of the values you are using, these are the default values - these need replacing with your equivalents. For example,  

ldap.authentication.userNameFormat=%s@alfresco.com

@alfresco.com should be replaced with your own domain.

Similarly,

ldap.authentication.java.naming.provider.url=ldap://alfresco.com:389
 
....

ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.principal=administrator@alfresco.com

need changing - the 1st is looking to alfresco.com when it should be referring to the URL to connect to your own LDAP server.

This is probably the primary reason it says it's unable to connect to the LDAP server.

You are not effectively overriding default Alfresco ldap-ad properties, as the logs state it is trying to connect to ldap://domaincontroller.company.com:389, which is the default value for ldap.authentication.java.naming.provider.url, as you can see here: https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-repository/blob/3752edb6d69fe5ff4c47bbce4909193bd2db9a97/src/ma...

Check your ldap-ad configuration properties.

I have tried following the code presented on link you have share but still having error with connection of LDAP.

Please look at my alfresco-global.properties file
