Active Directory Authentication

CA Forum: Authentication

Hi all,

I have created a group on the active directory and I added the required users to this group to enable access to the Crystal Reports Server.

When I try to add this group to the CMC -> Authentication -> Windows Active Directory tab I get the following error:

Error updating Windows AD authentication properties: The secWinAD plugin failed to look up the account for the group "telecom\BusinessObjects". Please enter non-local groups as DomainName\GroupName and local groups as
ServerName\GroupName.

Crystal Reports Server is installed on tmn-rep1 and this server machine was added to the telecom domain.

AD Administration User (tmn-rep1) was created and a default domain is specified as telecom on the Windows Active Directory tab. The server seems fine with the credetials enterred into the "Windows Active Directory Summary".

Please help.

Regards
