My error when running the web-based wizard is: "Error saving directory configuration. Error occurred while retrieving the user with provided bindDN.Could not retrieve username for the bind DN user."
I've read others' threads before posting.
Here's what I have done:
1. I'm using built-in AD Administrator account.
2. The account's DN is: CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=fabrikam,DC=com
3. The account has:
a. Firstname
b. Lastname and
c. Email (see screenshot) ... (this was other people's problem in some threads. I've ensured my named account has these attributes.)
4. My DC is also a GC.
Things I have tried, some of which you cannot see in the screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/yRMqbOynDu
0. From the DC, I can ping connector-va.fabrikam.com no problem.
1. I've tried changing the port FROM 389 to 3268. That didn't work.
2. I've tried changing the Search Attribute from sAMAccountName to UserPrincipal. That didn't work.
(So I tried all combos of 389/3268 and Samaccountname / UserPrincipal -- that's four different things, actually.. all tried.)
3. I've tried a different named account (other than administrator). That didn't work.
4. I've tried a different named account in a different OU / DN. That didn't work.
Poking around before posting I also went to the connector's log files and see the exact error: http://screencast.com/t/nr8rifG0GV
(To intpret the error I went here: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21290631 )
which says that my error is "52e - invalid credentials" )
I can attest they're not invalid credentials.
I'm stuck.
Open to suggestions. Thanks in advance.
