Hi All,

I have got past a few problems with installation, and have finally got
to the login page, but continually come up with a login failure.  I
have tested my LDAP connection and credentials using an LDAP browser
and they work fine, but I am no expert here.

I have tried a few options by stopping Tomcat, changing the "## LDAP
Server 1 Connection" section of esoe.config and restarting.  Is this
going to pick up my changes?  The current details are:

ldapURL-1=ldap://smstsdc01
ldapServer-1=smstsdc01
ldapServerPort-1=389
baseDN-1=DC=TSDEV,DC=Inside
identifier-1=sAMAccountName
recursive-1=true
disableSSL-1=true
adminUser-1=tsdev\tsadmin
adminPassword-1=neveryoumind

I have tried the "ldapURL-1" with/without port, and "baseDN-1" with/
without "CN=Users".  The default for "identifier-1" in this section is
"uid", but the LDAP browser shows no such property.  I have tried
replacing it with "sAMAccountName", which the LDAP browser shows as
being the account name, but it doesn't work.

During installation I did the following that was slightly different
from the instructions:
- Edited generate_db-mysql to comment out the constraints as they
caused problems with MySQL.
- Ignored the installation step of "Extract spep-shared.tar.gz to your
$TOMCAT/shared/lib directory of the tomcat instance which will run
esoemanager" as the file did not exist.
- I was confused by "Your database itself is already configured,
undertake the following for your environment." as no database had been
created, and the in the next step it was to be used.  In MySql I
manually created the esoe database, after setting the engine to InnoDB
(to fix something).

I am using Windows 2003, Tomcat 5.5, MySql 5.1.30, JRE 6, and the
"current" build of OSOE (which I assume is 0.5.2 or thereabouts).

If anybody can help with the Active Directory integration I would be
very grateful.
