Paddle is a tool that will test the LDAP or Active Directory settings in your atlassian-user.xml.

from a customer

Really, REALLY glad you had the paddle tool so I didn't spend too much time beating my head on that one, BTW

You will not need to have Confluence running to run this tool. The steps are:

  1. Download into a directory where you have permissions to create files
  2. Copy your atlassian-user.xml into that directory
  3. Run
    java -jar paddle-<insert version>.jar

This is an example of a successful run:

That's cool, but what do the errors mean ?   I got a cryptic one out the end & the atlassian-user.xml config I have I know is pretty close to working, as its the config I already use with RT.    A Google search for paddle & ldap ironically brings me back here.

Hey, Scott.

Paddle is currently in quite early stages of development. As we identify common configuration problems and their symptoms, we plan to update Paddle to recognise those errors and provide more useful messages, making it more of a self-service tool.

Right now, you're better off openingĀ a support case on http://support.atlassian.com, attaching both your atlassian-user.xml configuration and the error you got from Paddle, and having the support team help you diagnose the underlying problem.
