Re: ADAM accounts and access



Hi

so this user account that the application is using is an ADAM user
and you change the password for the user on the ADAM instance
and then re-enter the password for that user in the application and
the bind fails?

Have you tried binding to the ADAM instance using the user and
password details using ldp.exe as a test?
When you say that you cannot bind as any other user I guess you must
be able to bind as an ADAM administrator as you are doing that to change
the password of the ADAM user account?

After reading this again, I see that I do need to clarify :)

I have created a mock AD environment for one of our NOC's. I set up
the domain using ADAM and imported the user list. Now, I have an
appliance pointed at the server sending LDAP requests. I set up a login
(local to the ADAM server) and password on the appliance so it can
authenticate. It will send a request and expects an address back in
return. All of this is working right now. However, there is a very
strong need to the password of the ADAM user.

In the ADAM instace (using ADSI Edit) I can change the password of the
Adam (use this name for simplicity sake) account. Then when I check
for authentication from the appliance side, I get "bind error". I also
can not log in as any other user and see the properties of the ADAM
instance. I get a superior reference error when trying to do so.

I assume we're talking about a Windows principal here, and not an ADAM
principal. If so, then you simply change the password as normal (ctrl +
alt
+ del in a domain, or control userpasswords on a stand-alone box). You
don't need to do anything to ADAM.

If you're talking about an ADAM principal that's a little different.
Please
clarify.
