The issue you are facing: I cannot connect to my AD with NextCloud. It says:
Connection to LDAP server could not be established

The Base DN appears to be wrong

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Y

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Try to connect to AD
  2. That’s it

The output of your Nextcloud log in Admin > Logging:
