I would like to implement LDAP authentication for a web application using Spring Boot.

Here is my WebSecurityConfig class:
Java
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http
            .authorizeRequests()
                .anyRequest()
                .authenticated()
                .and()
            .formLogin();
    }

    @Configuration
    protected static class AuthenticationConfiguration extends
            GlobalAuthenticationConfigurerAdapter {

        @Override
        public void init(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
            auth
                .ldapAuthentication()
                    .userDnPatterns("cn={0},ou=institution,ou=people")
                    .contextSource()
                    .url("ldap://ldap.mdanderson.edu:389/dc=mdanderson,dc=edu");
        }
    }   
}

I tested it with my institutional credentials with the following DN:
CN=Djiao,OU=Institution,OU=People,DC=mdanderson,DC=edu

On login page, if I type in djiao as my username and a wrong password, it will say "bad credentials". However if I give the correct password, I would get 500:
There was an unexpected error (type=Internal Server Error, status=500).
Uncategorized exception occured during LDAP processing; nested exception is javax.naming.NamingException: [LDAP: error code 1 - 000004DC: LdapErr: DSID-0C0906E8, comment: In order to perform this operation a successful bind must be completed on the connection., data 0, v1db1]; remaining name ''

It seems binding to ldap server is successful otherwise it would not have distinguished correct password from bad password. But why am I getting this error?

What I have tried:

I tried to login with a bad password and got "login not successful, reason: bad credentials". With the correct password, it got to a Whitelabel Error Page with the aforementioned error.
