What's the URL of the page containing the problem?
I'm using 1.7.21:
https://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/1.7/admin/configuration/authentication-settings/
But it's the same in the last version:
https://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/2.5/admin/configuration/authentication-settings/
Describe the problem and any recommendations below.
The Anonymous User Mask says (both in inline help on the Authentication configuration on RB and on the docs):
"The user mask string for anonymous users. This should be in the same format as User Mask."
However in my case I had to use the following format to make it work:
Anonymous User Mask : myusername@windows.domain
Anonymous User Password : myusernamePassword
I found the solution in this thread:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/reviewboard/ldap$20active$20directory$20user$20mask/reviewboard/XpRvjYp7SJ4/hs-pJ0v_S4AJ
(look at the reply from Jan Koprowsky)
When I was following the hint of the documentation I was using this mask for the anon user mask:
sAMAccountName=myusername,cn=common.name,ou=subgroup,ou=something,ou=USERS,dc=mydomain,dc=com
...and I was getting the following error:
LDAP error: The specified object does not exist in the Directory: sAMAccountName=myusername
(The same error was popping up when leaving the field empty)
Please provide any additional information below.
My RB is 17.21 and installed on a Ubuntu server 12.04 LTS
I set the other fields for LDAP Active Directory like this:
LDAP Server: ldap://mydomain.com:389
LDAP Base DN: ou=something,ou=USERS,dc=mydomain,dc=com
Given Name Attribute: givenName
Surname Attribute: sn
E-Mail LDAP Attribute: mail
User Mask: sAMAccountName=%s
