Thanks for the reply! We have a speciifc account for binding to the AD
server that is in use with a number of different systems, mostly Linux
based. Off the top of my head many of them are java implementations but a
few aren't.
I used ldapsearch to somewhat test the queries.
I did notice that between Havana and Icehouse Keystones, there is an extra
field in the Icehouse query according to the debug output on console
(running keystone foreground not as a daemon.) This is using a nearly
identical config.
I did compare tcpdump captures as well (even tried to strace keystone) but
nothing stood out. Was starting to wonder if it was an underlying library.
I'll try to cut down the queries tomorrow and I'll get hold of the
difference in those queries as shown by the debug logs (and I should have
the packet captures as well.)
