I''m so sorry if this has been posted before, but I feel like I''ve done my due diligence and read enough posts to think the answer to my problem isn''t listed.

Ubuntu Linux 2.6.x kernel.

I have been able to get Active Directory authentication working with no problem.  My issue is with groups.  I want to configure OpenFire to pull Active Directory security groups living in a specific OU and use those security groups as the "Groups" in the OpenFire system.  This would allow me to populate instant messaging groups with users via Active Directory.

In my groups summary in the OpenFire admin console, I see no groups.  But I do have a security group in that OU in Active Directory.  It has a few users in it.  If I specifically search for the security groups name, I don''t see the group listed but my total groups changes from 0 to 1.

My AD setup (Win2K3):

mydomain.local (DC=mydomain,DC=local)

----My Enterprise (CN=My Enterprise,DC=mydomain,DC=local)

----

My Test Group is an Active Directory security group populated with a few Active Directory users from the Users OU.

My Test Account is an Active Directory user that is a member of the My Test Group Active Directory security group.

The server runs fine.  Users can login and instant message one another.  MySQL connection is fine as I can see data populating the tables.  I''ve cleared the caches and restarted the server daemon.  Nothing works.  The only thing that is screwy is the groups.  Can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance!
