DirXML engine and IDM 2.0

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 13 Oct 2004

Q:
I installed a Windows 2003 AD controller and a 2003 "member" server. On the latest I installed eDirectory 8.73 and iManager. So far, so good. I then installed Identity Manager with all the plug-ins. I got password sync running on both servers. I created an AD driver. However, I got an ldap error on the domain controller. On the other hand, when I use an LDAP browser I can log in to the MS-LDAP server using the same credentials.

A:
If you run the DirXML engine on Windows 2003, you have to install IDM 2.01. Note that IDM 2.0 is not supported in this configuration. You created a driver using negotiation in iManager - if you do that, you have to log in to AD using the Domain\username (in the authentication ID field). You log in as fully distinguished, but that must be used with simple authentication, not with negotiated authentication.
