Continuation Reference error with VIO and Active Directory

While deploying the OpenStack instance from VIO I get the following error message while verifying the authentication source parameters:

Cannot find the specified user (group). Details: The LDAP search query failed. Continuation Reference

This seems to be a problem I encountered on different occasions, where AD would send a reference instead of the actual answer which the client has to follow. But I don't see any option to allow the referral with Active Directory. Is there any way around that?

Regards

Gerald

I found a workaround for the issue:

The query succeeds when using the ports for the Active Directory Global Catalog.

The ports are:

  • 3268 (without encryption)

or

  • 3269 (with SSL)

Downside: You can't just use your domain name do address all domain controller, you have to specify one with it's hostname.
