Setting up Active Directory throws a Could not initialize class org.springframework.ldap.core.support.LdapContextSource

Seems like spring-ldap-core jar is missing from:

Workaround:

The jpms-args.txt file should contain the --add-exports parameters, it should be referenced in the setenv.sh:

# Add various JPMS arguments to allow Confluence to work on Java 17
CATALINA_OPTS="@$CATALINA_HOME/confluence/WEB-INF/jpms-args.txt ${CATALINA_OPTS}"

Isn't this the case for all upgrades to this version? Why isn't this included by Atlassian? Just ran into the same issue after upgrading, thank you very much Ksawery Buczkowski

Ksawery, could you give us a short hint what your last comment meant in practice? Where should this com.sun.jndi.ldap stuff be?

Ok, looks like this server was missing:
--add-exports java.naming/com.sun.jndi.ldap=ALL-UNNAMED
You can close the ticket
