I am having one other issue now related to LDAP. I am able to add AD Groups and users however when the user attempts to connect I receive a Error connecting to LDAP server. In the admin portal I can test to LDAP connection and it is successful as well as synchronizing but when I click on locate it gives me a error unable to locate LDAP server

I followed your suggestion on MD5 Realm and baseDistinguised Name.

I resloved the issue.

in the LDAP section leave both UseLDAPS and Accept All Certificates unchecked.

All my users have access now.

I think "Find LDAP Server" is an attempt to automatically locate the server without you having to manually enter in the information.

^{We're windows 2003. I found out that it actually was working, just not the way I expected. When I just add the AD group or user in, it does work. I thought that the "Find LDAP server" button was supposed to validate my settings but I think that must have another intention.}

Base Distinguised Name: dc=mydc,dc=org

MD5 Realm:-CN=domainadmin account,CN=domainadmin account OU,dc=mydc,dc=org

User Name\password: domainadmin account

hope this help

I tried that originally following the example on the setup page but with the same result.

What if you move up a level and change Base Distinguished Name: dc=mydc,dc=org

I'm new to Lab Manager and am doing my first proof of concept install and am trying to get the LDAP integration to work. I've read the install/user guides and some of the threads from here on it but I'm still missing something. Here is my setup:

Server: domain controller fqdn

Port: blank (tried with 389)

Base Distinguised Name: ou=myOU,dc=mydc,dc=org

LDAPS: unchecked

Authentication Method: Active Directory Negotiate

MD5 Realm: Blank

User Name\password: domainadmin account

All else is default.

When I click "Test LDAP Settings" I do get some green checkmarks for the information for this account that is in AD. When I cleck "Locate LDAP Server" I get the error "Unable to locate LDAP server. Enter LDAP server and port information manually." When I click "Syncronize LDAP", it does say "Success! Started LDAP syncronization" but if I search for any of the AD groups, nothing shows up.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong or missing here?

Thanks
