How to check if an user is in specific group

[klapsius]

In my Laravel application, I use Scope to check if a user is in a group, but it does not work.
If I try: $query->in('cn=My-App-Login,OU=SecurityGroups,DC=my_domain,DC=com'); it does not work
if I try $query->in('DC=my_domain,DC=com') it allows log-in to any user in AD.
Do I need to use something different?

Hi @klapsius,

You cannot scope results in that way using a Group's distinguished name, only Organization Unit's.

Please see this documentation:
