Assertion Failed when trying to log in

[iloving]

I've configured the LDAP section as described in both example 1 and example 2, but no matter what I do I get the following when I try to login, and the server just dies. I think I need something a smidge more informative in order to figure out what's wrong...

The SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status. Vagrant
assumes that this means the command failed. The output for this command
should be in the log above. Please read the output to determine what
went wrong.

I have the following in my config:

providers: [ldap]
  ldap:
    connect_settings:
        url: ldap:/our.server:389
        bind_options:
          bindDN: "CN=Fully,OU=Qualified,DC=Bind,DC=User"
          bindCredentials: MyPass
        search:
          base: "DC=My,DC=Base"
          opts:
            scope: subtree
            filter: (sAMAccountName={{username}})
          field_mappings:
            uid: sAMAccountName
            firstName: givenName
            lastName: sn
            displayName: givenName
            email: mail

Moved issue to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/lets-chat-app for help.

I run a docker container as described in #4.

But the container crashes on login attempt with this exception.

This is my auth snippet from the defaults.yml file:

auth:
  providers: [ldap]
  ldap:
    connect_settings:
      url: ldap://ldap_server:389
    bind_options:
      bindDN: "cn=admin,dc=company,dc=com"
      bindCredentials: secretPW
    search:
      base: "dc=company,dc=com"
      opts:
        scope: sub # Base search (base), one level search (one) or subtree search (sub)
        filter: "(&(uid={{username}})(memberof=cn=chat_access,ou=groups,dc=company,dc=com)"
    field_mappings:
      uid: uid # LDAP unique ID
      username: uid # used for mention (@uid)
      firstName: givenName
      lastName: sn
      displayName: givenName
      email: mail
  local:
    enableRegistration: false
    passwordRegex: ^.{8,64}$
    salt: secretSalt # Required when upgrading from version < 0.3

Any hints?

Lets chat has virtually nothing in the way of error handling, preferring to just crash. It has no logging to speak of either. We abandoned it after only a couple days of testing because it's not even alpha quality, let alone ready for daily use.

iIRC, the login crash may be because the users email address isn't set in ldap.
