Using the logback.xml file

Create the following logback.xml file in the root of the Bitbucket Server home directory if it doesn't exist already and add the following:

<included>
    <logger name="com.atlassian.crowd.directory.SpringLDAPConnector" level="DEBUG"/>
</included>

This will add the following line to the log when Bitbucket Server tries to authenticate the user:

2013-04-30 14:26:40,042 DEBUG ... c.a.c.directory.SpringLDAPConnector Performing user search: baseDN = ou=users,ou=system - filter = (&(objectclass=posixAccount)(uid=admin))

For example:

2013-04-30 14:48:42,821 DEBUG ... c.a.s.i.user.DefaultUserService Authenticating user drohan
2013-04-30 14:48:45,337 DEBUG ... c.a.c.directory.SpringLDAPConnector Performing user search: baseDN = ou=users,ou=system - filter = (&(objectclass=posixAccount)(uid=drohan))
2013-04-30 14:48:47,454 DEBUG ... c.a.s.i.u.Bitbucket ServerAuthenticationFilter Authentication success. 

Make sure to restart Bitbucket for this change to tack effect.

Using the REST API endpoint

This log level can also be enabled by using the following REST API endpoint (see Enable debug logging for details):

curl -u <ADMIN_USER> -X PUT -d "" -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://<BITBUCKET_BASE_URL>/rest/api/latest/logs/logger/com.atlassian.crowd.directory.SpringLDAPConnector/DEBUG
