Catalogs not pulling in groups from LDAP authentication

I have successfully set up LDAP authentication, and when I authenticate as a test user who is part of our OU Developers, I thought it would create the Developers group under the Groups section but that didn't happen. Is there anything I should be checking?

Here is our "Base Container"
OU=Developers,OU=Users,OU=Northwoods - Main Location,DC=Northwoodsoft,DC=com

    Nathan,

    Are you able to sign in to HgLab using LDAP credentials?

    Yes, LDAP authentication works, we tested this with a known AD account that belonged to the Developers group. The initial login did not let me into the Dashboard, but rather just refreshed the page. When I logged in as the administrator, the test account was created in the Users section so I granted it Collaboration privileges. When I logged out as the admin and logged back in as the test account, I could see the dashboard. So everything at the account level seems to be working.

    Nathan,

    So none of the LDAP groups got synchonized or is it just the Developers
    group? Anything fishy in HgLab logs?

    Well, we only have that user in the Developers group, which is in the Users OU so I'm assuming it should at least pull in those to containers as "groups". I tried logging in again this morning and the only error message I saw in global.log was

    HgLab.Core.Framework.Appcast.AppcastManager - could not check for updates

    followed by a stack trace. I can provide logs if you would like.

    Nathan,

    No, Appcast is irrelevant here.

    Can we schedule a TeamViewer session for me to diagnose the issue?

    Sure, how do you normally set that up? Do you just want to e-mail me privately?

    I've switched this discussion to Private mode, so you can send TV

    I'm available for the next 6 hours or so today.

    Nathan,

    Sure. Ping me whenever you are ready. Hopefully, our time zones are at
    least somewhat compatible
