Configure Directory Services

I am having difficulty configuring Directory Services on vFoglight 6.5.1. I have read some of the forums, and while they have been helpful, I am still unable to manage accounts via LDAP.

Account is anonymous                                                  false

Distinguished name of the service account                      Hugh Jass

Password                                                                     ****

LDAP query prefix                                                         CN=

LDAP query suffix                                                         ,OU=Accounts,DC=dixie,DC=wrecked,DC=com

The scope(s) to search for groups                                   DC=dixie,DC=wrecked,DC=com

The second group namespace                                        Edit....

The third group namespace                                            Edit....

The LDAP context for user searching                              OU=Accounts,DC=dixie,DC=wrecked,DC=com

Role attribute ID                                                            name

Is Role attribute a DN                                                    false

User alias attribute ID                                                    sAMAcountName

User attribute ID to search for groups                              member

Match on User DN                                                         false

I'm sure it is something simple, but I have not found what it is. I have changed the 'Is Role attribute a DN' to true, and it doesn't improve anything. Service account and password are current and correct; in fact, vFoglight can connect to the LDAP server without issue.....I just can't get anyone to successfully login using their domain credentials.

A couple of things that you can try:

1: The service account name format: CN=hugh jass,OU=Accounts,DC=dixie,DC=wrecked.DC=com or whatever the string is for that user

2: take the query suffix to the top of the domain: ,DC=dixie,DC=wrecked.DC=com

3: take the user searching string to the top just like you have done for group searching: DC=dixie,DC-wrecked,DC=com

Once you confirm that you can connect to the top of the domain tree, start restricting the user & group searches.

Hope this helps!

Hello dwightkschrute ,

There are couple of settings that need to be changed from what you have but before that I will need to take a look at your AD environment. Could you please create a support case and I will work with you to get it working.

Regards
