Kurt, do try using \# when connecting. Luckily, since you are also using AD you can use the "domain\samaccountname" or "upn" instead of the DN to authenticate as well.

I'm trying to bind using this DN to my active directory server cn=#service_account,ou=Service Admins,ou=Administrators,dc=MYDOMAIN,dc=com' And seem to be getting authentication failed because of the # at the beginning of the cn for this user. Should I be escaping it somehow? When I create a new account in AD that doesn't have the leading #, it works fine.... Kurt
