Unable to add domain to NSX Manager

[TitoDz]

Hi,

I am trying to add a domain to the NSX Manager, but I get the error below.

Domain Controller: 10.1.52.30

Domain Name: home.local (this is a lab)

AD Service Account: nsx_svc (has read permissions in the domain)

According to this KB 2100289, a 52e error is invalid credentials, but I know I am not typing the password wrong. I have tried both format for the username: home\nsx_svc and nsx_svc@home.local. Time is in sync between the NSX Manager and the Domain Controller. Any ideas?

use nsx_svc.  this wizard automatically appends the domain.

Tried using only the username with no domain. Still, same issue.

sometimes the DSID error shows that simple bind fails. Please take a look at our whitepaper. Please take also a look at: C:\Program Files\VMware\Orchestrator\configuration\jetty\logs\vco-configuration and search for the ldap operation. If there is an handshake failed error you can use the workaround of the white paper.

try to use dns suffix of your domain name ( lab.corpdir.net)  and use any one of your domain server host name

I am using a Server 2012 R2 DC, and the Domain GPO is already configured with "None" for the "Domain Controller: LDAP server signing requirements" policy. The log you mentioned does not exist on my system (in this case, vCenter).

Tried it. No luck.

I assume you are using 6.1.x, this was an issue with the product in those versions.

I am running NSX 6.2.0. I was getting the same error in NSX 6.1.x.
