z9cf6 (z9cf6) asked a question.
I'm trying to validate a user with ldap groups but only cant do the query if the user is admin.
Is that ok?
I've never seen this behaviour in other LDAPs

Hi @z9cf6 (z9cf6)
Have you check the LDAP Interface feature? You can find how to enable/disable it here.

Yes the LDAP interface is enabled.
I'm executing this search:
ldapsearch -h XXX.ldap.okta.com -p 389 -b "dc=XXX,dc=okta,dc=com" -s sub -D "uid=XXX,dc=XXX,ou=users,dc=okta,dc=com" -W -z none -Z '(&(objectClass=person)(memberOf=cn=GROUP_NAME,ou=groups,dc=XXX,dc=okta,dc=com))'
It only works when the bind user is an admin
Regarding the user privileges of bind credentials, yes you're right but on the other hand you could use a dedicated account (service account) with Read-only Admin role. I personally used this option on several times for API keys and registering AD/LDAP Agents.
You can check the Read-only reference on this KBA.
In addition to info above, you could include MFA as part of the Auth process for LDAP Interface. You can find further information on this URL.

Ok thanks, I also like that option but is not valid for us.
We need to make the validation with the user that is being authenticated with the app
