Migrate MDaemon to new server with new 64bit OS

Hi,
Further test result follow:

Before I make any changes, the settings is:
Bind DN: (blank)
Password: (blank)

Base entry DN: LDAP:rootDSE

It does not work with the above settings till I change to the following:
Bind DN: (AD username)
Password: (AD user password)

Base entry DN: LDAP://x.x.x.x (AD server IP address)

Test success with the above changes.

How the system authenticate without specifying the AD server info previously ?

What should be the proper setup?

If the Active Directory server requires queries to authenticate, then you will need to supply the user/pass. Based on your testing, submitting a query to your Active Directory server fails when you do not submit a user/pass.

1. I do not have such problem in the production server. Which is using the same environment with the setting before making any changes. In the test server, before I upgrade to x64 also working fine without specifying the server and login info.

2. We have multiple AD servers that sync the AD to each other, possible to setup multiple servers for authentication to avoid problem if one of the server down?

Actually base on my testing, the MD is not able to reach the AD server if we use LDAP://rootDSE

After I put in the AD IP then it prompt for invalid user/pass.

1. Is the test server a member of the same domain as the production server?

Microsoft has a AD Explorer which can be used to make inquiries from the tool to the AD server and verify if your configuration/login details are correct.

2. MDaemon can only query one AD server. Which problems are you attempting to avoid? If MDaemon is only being used to monitor user accounts, the only issue you would see during any Active Directory downtime is new accounts could not be automatically created (if this option is enabled).
