Hello everyone.
I'm currently setting up a FMC and while attempting to use external authentication via LDAP, for some reason the FMC is not querying properly.
Basically whenever I attempt the test the query, it only finds user machines and groups CNs , not the actual users.
As a result, it always fails to authenticate. If I place the group name instead of the user without a password it actually "succeeds" into the login test resquest.
Any thoughts on why its querying for groups and machines CNs instead of users?
Evidences attached.

The user is just a member of domain users.
The problem is that whenever the FMC queries the Active Directory Tree, its looking for groups instead of users.
Does anyone has experiencing this issue before?

I have exactly same issue.
without test, FMC says - OK-
fmc/ftdv version 7.6.2.1 (build 3)
Test Complete: You may enter a test user name to further verify your Base Filter parameter.
then, adding user that is in the group....failed. netadmin is in ise_admins group.
binding
bind success
starting search...
base :OU=Security Groups,DC=main,DC=company,DC=com
filter :(CN=ISE_Admins)
user :netadmin
attrib :sAMAccountName
ldap_result: 0 -Success
found 1 entries...
-------------
CN=ISE_Admins,OU=ISE,OU=Security Groups,DC=main,DC=company,DC=com
sAMAccountName: ISE_Admins
-------------
search failed
Admin Users The following administrator shell access users (1) were found with this filter:
---------------
ise_admins
Users The following users (1) were found with this filter:
---------------
ise_admins
so it is looking for group...not user
