So maybe it is just my lack of understanding of Active Directory(working for Novell, I'm prejudiced towards Novell eDirectory, of course), but usually in my connectionURL, I put something of the form, "ldap://myhost:636"; Changing that to "ldaps" usually doesn't work for me, and the whole "/ou=migrated....." stuff at the end is not there. Is that unique to Active Directory, or is it just wrong to have it there and that is what is causing your problems?
I've noticed that Tomcat sometimes tries to connect to :389 even though :636 is in the connectionURL, when something is wrong in the configuration. Try a smaller connection url, "ldap://nmr001dundom01:636";, and then put your user info into the other fields -- userPattern, or userBase, etc. Jeff Tulley ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (801)861-5322 Novell, Inc., The Leading Provider of Net Business Solutions http://www.novell.com >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 9/9/03 9:40:48 AM >>> You won't get an intelligent response if you enter your LDAP URL into a web browser, but many email clients are LDAP-compatible (e.g. Outlook Express - add an LDAP link via the Tools\Accounts menu). Also, you can try an LDAP browser, such as the one at http://www.iit.edu/~gawojar/ldap. Another suggestion which you can try right now is to change the "ldap" to "ldaps" in the URL - port 636 is the SSL port for LDAP. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Srofe, Douglas (c)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Tomcat Users List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2003 4:31 PM Subject: RE: Tomcat and Active Directory > > Thanks for your response.
