Today for the first time I configured the box to use GSA authentication for serving the secured data. Previously our customer used NTLM for authentication.
While I was configuring the section under Administration->LDAP setup I encountered a weird exception. It raised a “javax.naming.authenticationexception” with the error code of 49. After some Googling I finally found out that instead of a loooong Distinguished Name (DN) like
uid=username,ou=op1,dc=ld,dc=corp,dc=com
we should use it in a email address format as follow:
username@ld.corp.com
where ld.corp.com is the LDAP server address.
Enjoy.
