We'd need some volunteers to test things out.

We coordinate in discord, a link to the thread -> [here](https://discord.com/channels/897805035122077716/1098621183584382976). 

Image: `docker pull public.ecr.aws/provectus/kafka-ui-custom-build:3700`
Config example: [here](https://github.com/provectus/kafka-ui/pull/3700#issuecomment-1518369213)

Please check
1. That authentication with all users you need works fine.
2. RBAC groups matching works fine.

AD a bit later, it requires more black magic. As I found no volunteers w/ AD, it's gonna be a separate issue. Please upvote #3741 if you're interested. @Haarolean

Most likely, your configuration is invalid. Please share your config. 
 @Haarolean  I have customized the docker image with Ldap configs and roles.yaml file,

With this LDAP config able to Login but it not listing cluster, topics,schema,connectors,etc. @padmaachuth please raise a discussion or ask in discord community, that's unrelated to this issue RBAC with LDAP does not work for me on v0.7.0.

I am able to login but I cannot see any clusters:

![image](https://github.com/provectus/kafka-ui/assets/1152793/e1e79660-bdbd-4876-bffd-944a57946b5c)

I have enabled DEBUG logs and I can see this:

```log

```

If I remove the `rbac` section, I can login and I can see and do everything because there are no roles.

Let me know if I should open a separate issue.

Thanks. @alexisph please raise either a new _discussion_ or join us on discord (the link available in readme)
RBAC: Support LDAP
For RBAC AD support see #3741



Feature implemented, how to set this up:
- Set up LDAP authentication, docs [here](https://docs.kafka-ui.provectus.io/configuration/authentication/ldap-active-directory)
- Set up RBAC with LDAP subjects, docs [here](https://docs.kafka-ui.provectus.io/configuration/rbac-role-based-access-control)
