newbie - automated active directory setup... any help please!

So I''m a newbie and and i''ve just recently dived into the Jabber world and thought i''d give wildfire a shot.  Well, I''ve run into some easy problems which I suspect are simply a matter of syntax, but I just want to make sure I''m entering everything right because everytime I try the "test settings" button I get an error that says, "Invalid DN syntax or naming violation"  can someone please help me on what needs to be entered in on the Host and Base DN fields?  Thank you so much, anything really is greatly appreciated!

Hi,

 

do you want to use LDAP for your setup? There are a lot of posts regarding baseDN and adminDN, so you may just want to search for them.

Xpeltech -

I also tried Wildfire here for the first time today, and I was tripped up by DN naming. I found the DSQuery tool on my DC invaluable for returning what was an unexpected format of the username for the Admin account I was trying to specify. I checked my user account by doing a "dsquery -name" with the parameters for my domain and the Users cn, and it returned the username in the correct format. I cut and pasted the DN into the field, and it finally worked.

HTH.

I had the same issue, then I realized that I had entered a username to be used with Wildfire that did not exist in our AD yet.

 

Once I created a user in AD with the same name as what was specifed, that is in the same container as was specified, it worked fine.
