Credentials are 100% correct and validated. User is logged in successfully via the UI. No network issues or FW blocks between Harbor and LDAP servers. Multiple users impacted.

hi @rwlib3, what is your harbor version?

Do you mean that the user can be logged in successfully into Harbor? So, when you're seeing this failure? From the errors, it seems the Credentials are not correct.

[rwlib3]

Harbor 2.13.1. From what I'm finding, all the failures are coming from Jenkins servers. Different accounts, different servers. All eventually succeed.

@rwlib3 It looks like you’re using the correct credentials to log in, and the login succeeds. However, the credentials configured in your Jenkins pipelines are incorrect. This causes authentication failures and, from a security perspective, Harbor temporarily locks the account after repeated failed attempts.
