Re: ADAM Proxy Authentication and Movetree



We are in a parallel production at the moment and are not fully live, which
turns out to be a good thing. We tested simple binds against user proxies
that had been migrated in development and UAT, which worked, so I'm at a loss
as to why this is happening in production.

It doesn't seem relevant, but could other entries in sidHistory be causing
this to occur? The other thing common to these users is they have an
additional SID in sidHistory for old NT4 account access, but these older SIDs
are scheduled to be removed 90 days after the migration. I believe the NT4
accounts are still around and enabled, but I doesn't seem like that would
cause a problem.

As far as the GC is concerned...I checked that querying a GC from the ADAM
servers returned the sidHistory for these users with no issues.
