Crystal Server use Active Directory as LDAP

[Former Member]

Hello once again

Trying to use my AD as an LDAP, and just perform basic authentication.  I have configured it as an LDAP, and am able to bind and make requests, but the only result I get is "Account information not recognized: Logon failed. Please make sure you are a member of a valid mapped group. (FWB 00029) "

Here are my Attribute Mappings:

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but what I'm trying to say with the mappings, is that I'm not really going to be using AD Groups per se, but rather OU's, and if an account is within the OU, then it is valid.

I have successfully mapped a group (OU) and I know that my account is in that OU, but I still get the invalid group error.  I know I'm real close here, but I just can't make the final connection.

TIA
Rick

you cannot map an OU, it must be a group

Thanks Josh, even though it's not what I wanted to hear   Appreciate your answer!

And FYI - once I removed the bad attribute mappings (OU) and replaced with the good (group)...everything worked just fine.  Looking at it now, it makes perfect sense to use groups over OUs...I don't know what I was thinking....other than the fact that I will likely have to map a TON of groups...we'll see how that affects performance, in the end.  Thanks again Josh!
