Active Directory setup
Answer
10/7/11 2:59 PM
We are having a major issue trying to get Active Directory integration up and working.  We have followed the specs found at the cisco DocWiki to a T with no success.  Does anyone have any information on how I can troubleshoot this?

What specific problem are you having? Is it just that with these settings the users in AD can't log in?

Yes - we have tried every possible combination and based upon what we see here

Social Miner Doc Wiki 8.5.3

The Manager DN is a Domain Admin and we can connect with other LDAP browsers or AD tools just fine using the exact same string...

You mentioned having tried other AD tools to access the directory. What we usually see in cases like this is that the SocialMiner box itself can't see the directory. Can you use the CLI tools on the SocialMiner box to try to ping the AD machine to make sure it is reachable from there?

Is the host that you are using a global catalog? Port 3268 only works against a GC. 389 might work against a non-GC, but I think we only tested 3268 on a GC and 3269 for SSL to the GC.

got it...

GC was the deal in the end. Also - had to enable a setting on the AD side to allow for looking at the necessary trees.

I am having the same issue but nothing seems to work for me. I am confirmed that I'm accessing the GC but have also tried 389. I've tried several accounts including a domain admin account to bind with but it won't work. Are there specific logs that I can look at or anything else to try?

Thanks

Can you post a zipped system health snapshot (Admin tab->System Logs->System Health Snapshot).
Also, can you describe in more detail how you have AD set up?

The problem that we have had with AD is that we don't get any information back from the AD server when something goes wrong, only that it failed, so that is all that's in the logs.
Things to check for are that you can ping the AD server from the SocialMiner server, that the user you are using can log in from other places and that you are using the GC with the ports mentioned above depending on whether you are using SSL or not.
