Troubleshooting and Debugging

matrix-synapse-ldap3 logging is included in the Synapse homeserver log (typically homeserver.log). The LDAP plugin log level can be increased to DEBUG for troubleshooting and debugging by making the following modifications to your Synapse server’s logging configuration file:

• Set the value for handlers.file.level to DEBUG:

handlers:
  file:
    # [...]
    level: DEBUG

• Add the following to the loggers section:

loggers:
   # [...]
   ldap3:
     level: DEBUG
   ldap_auth_provider:
     level: DEBUG

Finally, restart your Synapse server for the changes to take effect:

synctl restart
