An issue can occur after configuring an LDAP connection in FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications in which you're unable to pull user information to allow LDAP logins. This usually occurs due to the attributes configured in the domain information. If the target information in the domain information either doesn’t exist or the value is incorrect, user mapping will not work correctly.
