Connecting from Aritfactory to LDAP

I configured a connexion to an LDAP server from Artifactory interface, when I try to "authenticate" a USER FOR TEST (xtest), the authentication fails.

=> I am using LDAP "perspective" on Eclipse Oxygen

=> I implemented the LDAP server using ApacheDS

Here's the Directory Information Tree (DIT)

DIT

And here's the configuration on Arti interface

Config part1

Config part2

Is there a wrong "input" in the configuration? Also, would you please explain the role of "search filter" and "search base" and if they are configured the right way?

Thank you

What objectclasses are defined on xtest? The DN is uid=xtest,ou=xgroupe,dc=example,dc=com and it seems suspect to authenticate a group.

To answer your other questions, search base is the part of the tree to include in the search, eg. ou=xgroupe,dc=example,dc=com. Search filter is where you would include object class and attribute information, eg. (&(objectclass=person)(uid={0}).

If what you are searching for is not on the branch of the tree in the search base or it does not fulfill the filter, it will not be found.
