Rich, as ever, thanks for your help with what must seem a silly problem. I sent the Email simply to ensure there is a record of this potential problem in case someone else stumbles upon it :-) We can drop it for now - if I find the time, I'll create a new virtual Active-Directory machine and re-test specifically with the recommended log level. If I can re-create the problem, I'll log a BUG of course. ldapsearch with an '@' worked fine at the time. -D "Administrateur" -w p at ssw0rd -h sh... Note: Administrateur - I ought to have told you the Windows 2003 Server (Active Directory) is using a French locale (worth noting - might be important): Windows Server 2003 R2 Version 5.2 R2 (num?ro 3790.srv03_sp1_rtm.050324-1447: Service Pack The current password (without '@' - yeah, that's my theory also) works fine - it has a capital letter and two '9's. Thanks again for your help. ------> Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 08:55:53 -0700> From: rmeggins at redhat.com> To: fedora-directory-users at redhat.com> CC: lambam80 at hotmail.com> Subject: Re: Windows Sync Not working with AD password = P at ssw0rd ?> > lambam80 at hotmail.com wrote:> > Hello everybody and thanks for the tremendous support to date.> > > > Firstly, yes I'm a paranoid personality ...> > > > It's too late for me to try recreating this problem using my existing > > machines.> > > > Is it possible that accounts created on RHDS are not 'replicated' to > > Active-Directory> > if the AD Administrator password is 'P at ssw0rd' <mailto:%27P at ssw0rd%27> > > ?
