LDAP authentication is not working - "no entries returned"

[cdknight1]

I am using 389 DS with FreeIPA and trying to connect Proxmox to this LDAP server.
While I am seeing that Proxmox is able to connect to the server, it is not able to find the user even though in Apache Directory Studio (my desktop client) the base DN can be accessed and there is a list of users that are available (and the user I am trying to log in as exists).

I have gone ahead and added the user as well in the Proxmox Web UI as a Proxmox user, but still I am not able to log in via LDAP.

I have searched for threads like this which are from 2012 and state that Proxmox cannot bind to a user to search, even though the documentation now states otherwise.

What should I do in order to get this to work?

First you must add an realm for you ldapserver: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/User_Management#pveum_authentication_realms
After that you have to add every user to this realm and set permissions. Please post your "/etc/pve/domains.cfg".
