Hi,

I have configured the LDAP connections and able to see Authentication Provider dropdown list (options: Default, LdapUsers)

However, when I tried to login using one of the Ldap users, I get the following error message:

[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
   DynamicModule.ns.Wrapped_LdapMembershipProvider_c07addffeabe48e49c0bcf486175618f.GetUser(String userName) +421
   Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.SecurityManager.AuthenticateUser(String membershipProviderName, String userName, String password, Boolean persistent, User& user) +128
   Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Web.UI.LoginForm.LoginForm_Authenticate(Object sender, AuthenticateEventArgs e) +240
   System.Web.UI.WebControls.Login.AttemptLogin() +166
   System.Web.UI.WebControls.Login.OnBubbleEvent(Object source, EventArgs e) +78
   System.Web.UI.Control.RaiseBubbleEvent(Object source, EventArgs args) +52
   System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +3410

I suppose the login is successful because when I purposely entered incorrect password, it shows me "Incorrect Username/Password Combination" instead.

On top of that, I am not sure if I have correctly configured the LDAP connections because I don't see the LDAP users under "Administration > User Management > Users". Am I suppose to see the domain users here?

I have followed the instructions at www.sitefinity.com/.../configuring-ldap-settings.aspx

Hello Chen Yong,

You should see the LDAP provider under Administration >> Users as a separate tab ( provider). Please restart the application after LDAP has been configured. You can also take a look at this thread.
It looks like the LDAP provider could not find the user you are trying to authenticate. You can try to create an instance of LdapMembershipProvider and call its GetUser( string username) method to see what would be returned from the query - you should get Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Model.User object.
