LDAP(Microsoft ActiveDirectory) Configuration on Kyuubi

[mahalingamagesthian]

We are looking at setting up LDAP configuration on Kyuubi. We use Microsoft Active Directory. In Kyuubi we have the following LDAP configs:
kyuubi.authentication=LDAP kyuubi.authentication.ldap.baseDN=DC=abc,DC=abdc,DC=org kyuubi.authentication.ldap.domain=***** kyuubi.authentication.ldap.binddn=username kyuubi.authentication.ldap.bindpw=password kyuubi.authentication.ldap.url=ldap://msadserver.com:389 kyuubi.authentication.ldap.customLDAPQuery=(&(objectClass=group)(CN=group1***))

When we login to Kyuubi we get the following exception:

Could not open client transport with JDBC Uri: jdbc:kyuubi://kyuubi****:10009/;: Peer indicated failure: PLAIN auth failed: javax.security.sasl.AuthenticationException: LDAP Authentication failed for ip56 [Caused by javax.naming.PartialResultException: Unprocessed Continuation Reference(s); remaining name 'DC=abc,DC=abdc,DC=org']

When I research around this, the following are the options to fix the issue,

1. -Djava.naming.referral=follow
2. -Djava.naming.referral=ignore

passing these options as part of KYUUBI_JAVA_OPTS didn't fix this issue ?

Is there any one who has faced this issue before ? Are there any suggestions to fix this problem ?
