AD Authentication

AD Authentication

Hello,
I'm configuring Network Configuration Manager and trying to get AD Authentication working.

First I tested with all users defined in AD:
  1. In Settings > Authentication > Windows Domains, I created my Domain with "Domain Name", "Domain Controller", LDAP, "Enable Auto Login" and "All Users" options checked, "User Permissions"=Administrator and proper "Time zone" setting.
  2. Then logged out, and logged in successfully with an AD user on domain
Then I tried to restrict to a specific AD group:
  1. In Settings > Authentication > Windows Domains, I created my Domain with "Domain Name", "Domain Controller", LDAP, "Enable Auto Login" and "Selected Groups" options checked, "User Permissions"=Administrator and proper "Time zone" setting.
  2. Regarding the BaseDN field, I have an issue.
    1. In our AD tree, Users and Groups are not in the same Organizational Unit (OU) :
      1. xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (domain name) 
        1. First level OU
          1. Second Level OU 
            1. Groups OU
              1. Group1
              2. Group2
            2. Users OU
              1. User1
              2. User2
    2. I tried several things for BaseDN field and Groups field
      1. Setting the BaseDN to the Groups OU (OU=Groups,OU=Second Level,OU=First Level,DC=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxx) and the Group to the CN value (Group1)
      2. Setting the BaseDN to the Users OU (OU=Users,OU=Second Level,OU=First Level,DC=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxx) and the Group to the CN value (Group1)
      3. Setting the BaseDN to a common OU (OU=Second Level,OU=First Level,DC=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxx) and the Group to the OU+CN value (OU=Groups,CN=Group1)
    3. None of these work
      1. the first two are accepted in the configuration stage but I can't login with a user having the expected group
      2. the third one is not accepted at configuration stage ("the inpu specified for the parameter does not match the required pattern")
How can this configuration be achieved ?
Thanks for the help.
