Unable to fetch user & groups

[akkitech]

I am using node js activedirectory module for AD authentication and fetching users & groups. Able to authenticate successfully but unable to get users & groups using .findUser(), .findUsers(), .findGroups() methods. I've added few users and a group using ADSI editor in windows 10. Any clue what could be going wrong?

Screenshot of ADSI Editor :

Code :

var ActiveDirectory = require('activedirectory2');
var config = {
url: 'ldap://localhost',
baseDN: 'cn=admin,dc=ec2,dc=internal',
username: 'cn=akshay,cn=testContainer,cn=admin,dc=ec2,dc=internal',
password: '123456'
};

var ad = new ActiveDirectory(config);

var username = 'cn=akshay,cn=testContainer,cn=admin,dc=ec2,dc=internal';
var password = '123456';

ad.authenticate(username, password, function (err, auth) {
if (err) {
console.log('ERROR: ' + JSON.stringify(err));
return;
}

if (auth) {
    console.log('Authenticated!');
    ad.findUser({
        dn: "cn=akshay,cn=testContainer,cn=admin,dc=ec2,dc=internal"
    }, function (err, user) {
        if (err) {
            console.log('ERROR: ' + JSON.stringify(err));
            return;
        }

        if (!user) console.log('User: not found.');
        else console.log(JSON.stringify(user));
    });

} else {
    console.log('Authentication failed!');
}
});

Output :

Authenticated!
User: not found.

Have you tried setting a search base and/or scope?

Yes, passed baseDN as cn=testContainer,cn=admin,dc=ec2,dc=internal still no results.

Perhaps a dumb answer, but I wonder if things are case sensitive and would try, just for curiosity:
"cn=TestContainer,cn=ADMIN,dc=EC2,dc=INTERNAL" same case as in the ADSI editor screenshot

Thank you @jurjendijkstra , Already tried with upper case but no luck.

[jurjendijkstra]

Hmm sorry. Another guess: you are passing an object { dn: "..."} to findUser but according to the doc you should pass a string, and the value of that string may be either the sAMAccountName, userPrincipalName or dn. Like this:
ad.findUser("cn=akshay,cn=testContainer,cn=admin,dc=ec2,dc=internal", callback)

Thank you @jurjendijkstra , Tried with a DN string still no luck.

Can you help me in finding my sAMAccountName / userPrincipalName in ADSI editor? I am unable to locate this option.

[akkitech]

OR sAMAccountName is just the name that was used while adding a new user in ADSI? i.e akshay in this case?
