Hi,
I’m having a problem with setting up OpenFire with Windows 2000 AD.
I have managed to connect to the BaseDN and the groups/users map properly, but I am then asked to: Choose one or more users from your LDAP directory to be administrators by entering their usernames.
There is no explanation of what format to enter the users. I have tried just the names, the full distingushed name and the display names.
Any other Ideas??
Thanks
Andrew
Update:
I have now managed to get the install to accept names, but when testing them they all fail.
Thanks
Andrew
Update 2:
Figured out why I couldn’t add users! I had changed the name field from “sAMAccountName” to “principalUserName” so it didn’t pickup machine accounts. Changed it back and it now works. However when selecting “Save and Continue” I get the following error message:
HTTP ERROR: 500
INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR

Update 3:
Not sure what the server error was but after restarting the server and running through the setup again, it all worked.
However, when attempting to login I was told the password was incorrect. Knowing that I had tested the connections in the setup I knew it was all correct. I checked the openfire.xml file to discover that it had stored the LDAP password inccorectly.
rather than encoding a ‘greater than’ sign as:
‘& gt ;’
it encoded it as:
‘& amp ; gt ;’
Spaces added to correctly show in this post.
After I corrected it, all logins worked fine.
Where is the best place to report a bug?
Thanks
Andrew
