Hi,
I’m hoping somebody can help me with this. I’ve installed OpenFire Server 3.6.0 on a Win2k3 Server. It’s a test server so it isn’t a Domain Server. When I configure the AD settings on it, i get mixed results, but most of it point to some inconsistencies in authentication.
For the Base DN I’ve used the following
LDAP Server
** Server Type: Active Directory**
** Host: PDC1.applehouse.inc**
** Base DN: OU=Applehouse Users (Main), DC=Applehouse, DC=inc**
**
**
**
**
Authentication
** Administrator DN: openfire**
__ Password: ****************__
And when I ran the test, it worked great. Also, doing the following works for the step 1 test:
LDAP Server
** Server Type: Active Directory**
** Host: PDC1.applehouse.inc**
** Base DN: DC=Applehouse, DC=inc**
**
**
**
**
Authentication
** Administrator DN: openfire**
__ Password: ****************__
What’s interesting is that if I change the user, the authentication tests fails. Even if I use a domain administration user. Now the only issue I see here is where the users are placed in the AD:
applehouse.inc
Users
openfire
Applehouse Users (Main)
domainadmin
otheruser
It should be noted, that the openfire user account is a normal user account. Furthermore, if I use the authentication that seems to work, the tests for the next 2 pages (User Mapping and Group Mapping) fail. Lastly, I cannot add an administrator account because it can’t detect any.
I’ve searched around for solutions to this but I can’t seem to find this problem anywhere else.
Thanks for your help!
