Hello

 

Sounds like you are not connecting to AD at all.

 

Error 49: LDAP_INVALID_CREDENTIALS: Indicates that during a bind operation one of the following occurred:

 

The client passed either an incorrect DN or password.

The password is incorrect because it has expired, locked account, or some other similar reason.

 

 

 

Hello

 

BB 6.2.3.23

 

I am having trouble setting up LDAP against a dev version of BB running on a virtual server.

 

What part of the user db (batch_uid, user_uid, etc) when the user logs in gets passed to the AD box for authentication?

I am assuming that it uses user_id as this is the correct entry against AD, then passed back to BB then appropriate courses are then listed?

 

I have edited the authentication.properties as mentioned in the manual using the sAMAccount tag and a privileged users to read the AD tree.

 

Accounts still fail the authentication, when I go on the web app box and read the logs, the most common messages I get are LDAP error 49 and another one that appears is Connection refused.

 

Is there something glaringly obvious that I have missed regarding ldap?

 

I am going to re-read the ‘manual’ over the weekend to see if I can spot anything I have missed but any suggestions would be appreciated, on or off list.

 

Many thanks in advance.

 

Best Regards,
