Caused by: org.springframework.ldap.AuthenticationException: [LDAP: error code 49 - 80090308: LdapErr: DSID-0C09042F, comment: AcceptSecurityContext error, data 52e, v2580 ]; nested exception is javax.naming.AuthenticationException: [LDAP: error code 49 - 80090308: LdapErr: DSID-0C09042F, comment: AcceptSecurityContext error, data 52e, v2580 ]

原因

LDAP Error 49 data 52e means that the credentials of the user configured to bind LDAP directory with Confluence are incorrect, as described here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/common-user-management-errors-820119309.html#CommonUserManagementErrors-ActiveDirectoryError49

This can happen when that user is either removed or has its password changed from LDAP side.

ソリューション 1

Follow the steps outlined at Restore Passwords To Recover Admin User Rights. By doing so, you'll be able to access the User Directory settings and change the "Username" field with a valid admin user or change the "Password" field with the new password, allowing Confluence to connect to LDAP.

ソリューション 2

Alternatively, you can run the following query against your database to find out which one is the admin account that Confluence uses to connect to the LDAP:

SELECT * FROM cwd_directory_attribute WHERE attribute_name = 'ldap.userdn'; 

Note: The query may return multiple results in case you have more than one User Directory in your Confluence instance.

Re-adding the user back to the LDAP with the same password should resolve the issue.
