Trouble configuring Portal 6.0 with MS-ADS 2000

[Former Member]

Hi,

I´m in the middle of the config of the Portal 6.0 on WAS 6.40 to use MS-ADS and the Test Conection works just fine but the Test Authentication answers with this error:

authentication failed : Unprocessed Continuation Reference(s)

Can somebody help me on this one? I have SSL unchecked does the MS-ADS Requieres SSL or what can I be missing or what could be wrong.

Thanx in Advanced!!

Hi Gerardo ,

no you don't need LDAPS/SSL ...that is a JNDI error you are seeing ..so the Users OU and/or Groups OU you have entered in the dataSource is wrong ...or some value you are passing to search for the user is wrong ( you are entering a valid user and password right ?)...

Hi Daniel!

Thanx for the Fast Response...

The Test Conection is working and I guess it is using the login information cause I modified the Passwd and it didn´t work, then I put again the correct passwd and it worked again, but when I try to test the Authentication and it does not works.

Then for testing propouses I saved the changes, restasted the EP and I then loged in as Administrator in Portal.. and I saw the ADS users in my Portal :O) and I assigned roles to the User and it logs in and works really fine, so I don´t know if even though I got an error on Test Authentication the Portal is fine configured to work with the ADS?

Thanx in Advanced!

Hi Gerardo,

1) make sure the DataSource you are using was copied from a MS-ADS template

2) Go Back into the Config tool ...the test Authentication is for a "regular" user in OU=users (or wherever users live ) . If it works now and the users are imported then you're good to go .

3) Bear in mind that if you use a hostname in the AD server it should be a full hostname (only really necessary when you switch to LDAPS) .

If 1) and 2) are good you are fine .

Hi again Daniel!

The MS-ADS template I used is the one that you can Select in the combo box, I did not modified a templato or something similar, I just used the one that is already in there :O)

It Works into the Portal where I can use the ADS Users and asing them roles but still not working in the Test Authentication part in the config screen.

Thanx Again!! :O)
