Hi, I have not used this plugin, but reading the source I see that a call to authenticate() wraps a call to Auth::ActiveDirectory::authenticate(), which does: 

    my $message = $self->ldap->bind( $user, password => $password );
    if ( _v_is_error( $message, $user ) ) {
        $self->error_message( _parse_error_message($message) );
        return;
    }

... however the code in the Dancer2 plugin does: 
    my $user = _connect_to_ad($dsl)->authenticate( $name, $pass );
    return $user if $user->{error};

Without digging further (e.g. by reading the source of the distro's test files, if any), I would suggest adding debugging by replacing line 138 with: 

my $AD = _connect_to_ad($dsl) or die "No AD connection!";
my $user = $AD->authenticate( $name, $pass );
die $AD->error_message if $AD->error_message;
...

Hope this helps!


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
