      Jenkins Active Directoy Plugin version 1.21

      When I log into Jenkins it seems to be ok, but after browsing around for a bit, I start to get exceptions. I've attached the Jenkins log, and the web browser stack trace.

      I do have a AD group and 3 AD users configured as admins in Jenkins, but they are not AD admins. I can login successfully, and I check the "remember me on this computer" button on the login. Once I get the error 500, I have to clear the browser cookie to be able to see Jenkins again.
      This was working with Jenkins 1.430 and AD Plugin 1.19
      Reverting back to AD plugin 1.19 but keeping Jenkins 1.437 seems to resolve the issue.

          I am also seeing this error. My setup was working fine on 1.436 and AD 1.20.

          It's failing to retrieve the 'tokenGroups' attribute which lists all the groups the user belongs to.

          The 500 error you attached seems to come from the login page. But you say "after browsing around for a bit, you start to get exceptions", which seems to imply that you get this error on pages other than login. Can you clarify?

          I see the errors in the log (especially the "Caused by: org.acegisecurity.AuthenticationServiceException: Unable to retrieve the user information without bind DN/password configured" error).

          This happens at some point shortly after initially logging in. I see it when I visit the Configure page for a project and Jenkins has to check permissions. As far as I know it has nothing to do with the login page itself, but rather the AD plugin or a change in Jenkins.

          I don't see it right after I log in. I can configure a job, and then some elements on the configure page start to show Error 500. Then going back to the main page, all I see is Error 500 with the stack trace. So it does take a bit to appear, around 30-60 seconds or so.
