Thanks. I was now able to see why it is failing:

TRACE [org.ovirt.engineextensions.aaa.ldap.Framework] (default task-13) 
[] SearchRequest: Exception: LDAPSearchException(resultCode=11 (admin 
limit exceeded), numEntries=0, numReferences=0, errorMessage='admin 
limit exceeded')

Indeed, if I run that query using the ldapsearch command I can clearly 
see it is returning an "admin limit exceeded" error.

The applied filter is: 
(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=*)(|(givenName=username)(sn=username)(displayName=username)(uid=username)))

Strange thing is this hasn't been an issue on oVirt 3.6.x and we've not 
changed our LDAP configuration. Has the filter been changed in 4.x by 
default?

If so, is there a way to override the filter to make it simpler? (In our 
case we'll always seek by username, so no need to search by givenName, 
sn or displayName).

Thanks.
