debug: add detailed LDAP authentication logging with error traceback

- Use proper group names: inventory_admins (admin), inventory_users (user)
- Use relative groups_dn: 'ou=groups' (not absolute path)
- Matches original user's GUI-configured settings

-## 🎯 SESSION COMPLETED — ALL TASKS FINALIZED + ENGLISH COMPLIANCE VERIFIED
+## 🔧 CURRENT ISSUE — CORS Configuration Clarification
+
+### Two Deployment Methods
+The project supports two distinct deployment approaches:
+
+#### 1. **Docker Compose** (Production / Containerized)
+- Uses `docker-compose.yml` with Caddy reverse proxy
+- Backend container on internal port 8000 → exposed via Caddy on 3002
+- Frontend container on internal port 3000 → exposed via Caddy on 3003
+- **Configuration:** `ALLOWED_ORIGINS` environment variable in docker-compose.yml
+- **Current setting:** `http://localhost:3000,http://localhost:3002`
+- **For remote deployment:** Must update ALLOWED_ORIGINS to include actual domain (e.g., `https://192.168.84.140:3003`)
+
+#### 2. **start_server.sh** (Development / Native)
+- Runs Backend (uvicorn) + Frontend (Next.js) + local-ssl-proxy directly
+- Backend on port 8000 → SSL proxy on 3002
+- Frontend on port 3001 → SSL proxy on 3003
+- **Issue Fixed:** Script now automatically detects local IP and exports ALLOWED_ORIGINS
+- **Auto-configured for:** localhost + detected IP address on both HTTP and HTTPS
+
+### Fix Applied (Commit Pending)
+Updated `start_server.sh` to:
+1. Detect local IP address (en0/en1 interface)
+2. Export ALLOWED_ORIGINS with all applicable origins:
+   - HTTP localhost on dev ports (3000/3001)
+   - HTTPS localhost on proxy ports (3002/3003)
+   - HTTPS on detected IP address on proxy ports
+3. Display CORS configuration when starting backend
+4. Export JWT_SECRET_KEY if not already set
+
+**Result:** Frontend at `https://<LOCAL_IP>:3003` can now access backend at `https://<LOCAL_IP>:3002` without CORS blocks.
+
+### English Language Compliance
+Fixed Romanian comments in docker-compose.yml:
+- `"personalizează pentru producție"` → `"customize for production"`
+- `"GENEREAZĂ O VALOARE SIGURĂ"` → `"GENERATE A SECURE VALUE"`
