So I have a successful Windows Sync agreement set up between Fedora DS and
Active Directory, but I'm having difficulty setting up a sync agreement with
an NT4 domain. I'm at the point where I've entered the NT server info in the
agreement form. When I click Next, I get an error message:
"Unable to contact Active Directory server. Continue?"
I think this means I've entered something wrong in the form, and I'm hoping
someone can narrow down the possible things that can be entered in the form.
For instance, Windows Domain Name. The example given in the documentation
is "example.com". However, NT domains do not conform to DNS standards. Will
it work if I enter the NT domain name, e.g., "example"? If not, is there a
workaround?
The next item is Windows Subtree. This field gets filled in automatically
with "cn=Users,dc=example" using the example above. Again, can Windows Sync
use this NT domain name, or does it require a DNS name?
For Domain Controller Host, what is expected? If I put in the host name
alone, I get the error message. If I put in the fully qualified DNS host
name, the application locks up and must be terminated with Task Manager (I'm
using the console on a Windows XP machine).
Bind As seems to expect an LDAP distinguished name. How can I translate the
NT replication user name into LDAP terminology, i.e., what in NT corresponds
with cn, ou, dn, etc.?
Thanks for any ideas. -G.
