Hi All,

Has anyone succeed configuring LDAP authentication with Active Directory on Windows 2003?

We filled the form on "Configure" -> "LDAP Credentials" and the test, when you push the "Test" button", said:

Test Succeeded.
These settings have been saved.

Despite this, however, when we try to login using any A.D. user, it doesnt work.

Any help is welcome :-)

Howdy, Josmar!

I have just installed WhatsUpGold Professional 2005 and wanted to do the same thing as you.

In the LDAP authentication configuration screen, this is what I typed:

Server:  myserver.whatever.domain

Port:  636

Secure:  checked

Authorization DN:  <left blank>  (this was tripping me up as I was trying to enter a Base DN)

Username / Password:  any username/password in your domain

Finally, clicked the Test button and everything worked.

Next, had to add the domain users I wanted to login and add them as LDAP, not Internal, users in WhatsUpGold Professional.

That allowed me to logon as those user accounts.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

We are having the same problem! When we leave Authorization DN blank, and click test, an error comes up saying: Please enter the Authorize DN.

THe only time we can get this to work is when we put say CN=Joe Bloggs,OU=Employees,DC=blah,DC=com and use jbloggs as user name.

However if we use CN=%s and use jbloggs as username it fails.

Thanks for the help

 

P.S. using port 389 and secure is not checked, using port 636 and secure also did not work

Thank you!!! I was having LDAP problems after an uninstall/reinstall and that was my problem. I was trying to enter a base DN.

what version are you guys using? I am doing a fresh install of 12.3 and i cant leave the "authorize DN" blank - the interface yells at me.

on our old system, we use the old nt 4.x domain name (dentontx\%s) and it works, but with 12.3, i cant get it to work..

Hi ..

Try this ..

LDAP Server : (If you using domain make sure of your DNS is working properly)

LDP Port : 389 ( By right this is your port default for LDAP if AD is your LDAP Server)

Authorize DN: (This should worked as i use it in my settings, make sure the '%s' included right after your domain name) Example : mydomain\%s

TQ

Tell me if it's not working ..

I did end up getting Ipswitch on the phone for this one.  We did manage to get it working.

For us - I used our old NT 4.x domain name for LDAP Server, and it started working.
