As far I understand by reading docs again that the user specified in the Syn agreement and Bind DN should be same and exist on Active directory with Domain Admin privileges. But I have other issues now. The DS server is unable to connect to my AD. I enabled SSL by copying the same root certificate into AD and also generating a server certificate and opened up ports in firewall. Am I missing something like allowing client Authentication on the AD machine? My currents certificates are as follows. DS has its own server certificate AD has its own server certificate ALL 3 servers AS,DS and AD have the same CA root certificate ---------------------------------------- > From: kirankmadala at hotmail.com > To: fedora-directory-users at redhat.com > Date: Wed, 9 Jan 2008 10:35:00 -0400 > Subject: Windows Active Directory sync Help! > > > Hello, > > I am trying to sync the DS with AD.
