Has anyone gotten FME Server to work with the Atos DirX Directory 8.4 server using LDAP v3? The LDAP server is on-site (not cloud).

We are able to set up a successful connection but as soon as we try to import users and groups into FME Server 2018.1 it crashes with an unhandled exception in the logs:

(Active Directory) Searching using filter "gdiReader"...

com.unboundid.util.Validator.ensureNotNull(Validator.java:60)
at com.unboundid.ldap.sdk.Filter.createSubstringFilter(Filter.java:633)

The fact that we can successfully connect to the server makes it seems that it shouldn't be impossible to make this work...but then again...? @donatsafe @MarkAtSafe do you happen to know if the UnboundID SDK you seem to be using internally supports LDAP v3 from Atos?

Hi David,

Thanks for sharing. I'm curious to learn if anyone else in the FME community has tried to get this working and had success.

Unfortunately, we don't have access to a DirX system or the expertise to set one up which makes it really difficult to understand just how close we are to it working with FME Server.

I wonder, would anyone have a DirX system that can be connected to via the internet that might help us to test against?

Steve
