LDAP Authentication not working

rdarlin2Nov 16 2009 — edited Dec 14 2009

I am trying to authenticate against our Active Directory. Does the makeup of the below DN string look appropriate? (Names have been changed to protect the innocent)... I am using the LDAP Test Tool in the 'edit authentication scheme' dialog. I get the message in red 'authentication failed!'

DN String: cn=%LDAP_USER%,ou=users,ou=production,dc=amer,dc=globalaxz,dc=net
Host: dc3axz001.amer.globalaxz.net

I've tried reducing the string to just ldapuser, amer, globalaxz, net (following the host server fqdn format) without success. I don't know if I"m just not setting the DN string correctly... or what.

I don't know if the tool will 'walk' down the AD structure to find a match (ou's within ou's) - or does it only query one ou for the userid?

Apex 3.2.1 on Centos 5.4 (RedHat).
