You can try to specify the base_DN (for me it worked). // base_DN=dc=domain,dc=com

You're also using sAMAccountName. What format does it have? name.surname?
In our company our sAMAccountName is like name.surname, and it doesn't work with XWiki. So I've changed UID_attr to cn.

P.S. I still use version 1.1.2, because it's the only version working properly with AD (user is created in XWikiAllGroup). No other version is working in my case :)

Quoting Frantisek Kall <kaferos@gmail.com>:

A month ago we tested 1.2 ver. XWiki and there wasn't problem to set up Active Directory authentication. Now we are going to start XWiki for enterprise use and we had a problem to setup AD authentication with 1.3 ver. Can anybody help us?
