This is just a short summary. I was meant to evaluate Proget, Nexus and Artifactory to see what we could use.
Setting up ldap in artifactory was easy.
Setting up ldap in Nexus was easy (after enabling debugging). Ldap groups works perfectly
Setting up ldap in ProGet has been a real pain. It just does not work! I've tried the old v4 style, the new generic ldap and the new v5 active directory in 25.0.25 - they all fail with a filter exception.
We have group names that start with pound sign/hash # and that seems to completely thwart all attempts to use proget. Sigh!
Getting passed that hurdle by using a dummy group filter that returns nothing simply gets you nowhere since you can't add ldap-defined users to build-in groups. Double sigh!
