Active directory integration failure

Openfire Openfire Support
1

Hi, I’‘m trying to get Jive Messenger 2.0.1 to read from our Active Directory Win2k server. I’'m not having much luck though.

When I try to login with real or made-up AD users, I get the same “Authentication error: Not authorized” error. When I try to login with a user that I created in the HSQL database, it get two exceptions. This includes trying to login to the management console as Admin.

I’‘m pretting sure I’‘m using the correct LDAP info, as I can use other programs to browse the Active Directory via LDAP using the same login DN and password. However since I’'m getting the same error with real and made-up users, I could be wrong.

I’'m including the exceptions and my configuration in case that helps. Is LDAP support still a work in progress? Everything else seems pretty solid and easy to use. Thanks for any help you can offer.

seren,

AD/LDAP support is broken in Jive Messenger 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 – this is a known issue that we’'re working on fixing for the next release.

Regards,

Matt

3

Is there any new news on LDAP support?

4

Yep – it should be working now but I’'m trying to find a server to test with locally. It will be fully supported in the 2.1 release, though.

Regards,

Matt

Thanks Matt,

That is great new news! Could you give a rough estimate as to when 2.1 might be released?

6

2.1 Beta should be out this week. If you’‘re interested – the nightly builds should now be stable and we’'d love to get feedback on whether LDAP is starting to work for people.

Regards,

Matt

I will try and get a copy to try out, but might be pushed to try out Active Directory before christmas

This feature work in Jive Messenger 2.1.0 ?

Yes, LDAP support and therefore AD support is fully working in 2.1. Several people are discussing making 2.1 work with AD if you look through other recent threads.

Matt
