Hi all ๐Ÿ™‚ (And sorry for my bad english) I installed Pydio 8 on an VM (ubuntu server 16.04) and everything is working well. Here is my basic config, with that i can log via the AD with no problems. > **[pydio ldap](https://ibb.co/zGH51tN)** > > Image pydio ldap hosted in ImgBB (Yes sorry this is french, though easy to understand as this is the user auth window โ€” btw WORKGROUP is the name of my domain, dont ask why ๐Ÿ˜† ). Now i want the authenticating to be done trough a specific group of the AD. The name of this group could simply be โ€˜Pydioโ€™. I tried everything, but users in that group cant be found when i test the connection. I added (memberOf=Pydio) in the user auth window, tried to config the group scheme, attribute mapping etc. Pydio still cant find the user. Im pretty sure the solution is very simple, but i cant find it. Any help please ? Thank you ๐Ÿ˜‰ ---

Hi, You can do by Filter LDAP. However, memberOf is specific attribute in ldap search string that you should use dN of group instead of group name: for example: Filter LDAP: (&(objectClass=user)(memberOf=CN=pydio,DC=WORKGROUP)) That means: get all users who is member of โ€œpydioโ€ group ---

Thank you for your answer ๐Ÿ˜‰ I tried that, but it still doesnt work โ€˜can connect but cant find the userโ€™ (i checked again that the user was in the right group of course). Tried two things: ![pydio2](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex032/uploads/pydio/original/1X/1eff7ac661be8610cf8f277d6ab0793e88e21e13.png) and also with user DN info (DC=WORKGROUP). Thanks again ๐Ÿ™‚ ---

Yes he is, i checked that so many timesโ€ฆ๐Ÿ˜€ I use the โ€˜publicโ€™ version of Pydio, not the enterprise one. Does it matter ?
