Diagnostic Steps

Adding an LDAP authentication source using hammer:

# hammer auth-source ldap create --name Test --base-dn "dc=example,dc=com" --host localhost

The provider is missing in https://satellite.example.com/auth_source_ldaps

Adding the LDAP authentication source with additional organization / location paramters:

# hammer auth-source ldap create --name Test --base-dn "dc=example,dc=com" --host localhost --organizations MyOrganization --locations MyLocation

The provider will be visible in the webui as long as the organization / location matches.
