Your organization has enabled the LDAP auth method on the path of corp-auth/. When you access the Vault UI, you cannot log in despite providing the correct credentials. Based on the screenshot below, what action should you take to log in?
A.
Select corp-auth from the dropdown list
B.
Enter the username as corp-auth/bryan.krausen
C.
Select More Options and enter the Mount path that LDAP was enabled on (corp-auth/)
D.
Change to the Namespace of corp-auth before trying to authenticate
When an auth method like LDAP is mounted at a non-default path (e.g., corp-auth/), the Vault UI requires specifying that path. The Vault documentation implies this via CLI examples, and UI behavior confirms it:
"If a backend was mounted using a non-default path, you need to provide it under the Mount Path option under More Options."

C: Correct. Clicking “More Options” and entering corp-auth/ directs the UI to the LDAP method:
"By entering the mount path, you are directing Vault to use the LDAP auth method configured on that specific path for authentication."
—Vault Auth: LDAP
A: Dropdowns typically list methods, not paths; incorrect assumption.
B: Username doesn’t include the path in this context.
D: Namespace is unrelated to auth mount paths.
