AD Connection With LDAP

wazntme · ‎06-05-2013

here is my problem, I have a windows 2003 AD, now i can query the AD and get a result with the CN but as soon as i change it to sAMAccountName, it comes up with nothing, can query AD locally and get the sAMAccountName, but not through the fortinet, any idea' s? I am running v5.0,build0179 (GA Patch 2)

I know the linked post is quite old and on an older version of code, but it may provide some insight. https://forum.fortinet.com/FindPost/81337

Bob, I Appreciate the reply, but I have figured it out apparently when you query all users in this version, with sAMAccountName it will not find them, and you cannot see or add them using bulk insert or going to add/LDAP user, however, if you go in, go to add, user, then put in the users sAMAccountName and tell it to verify on the same AD Connection String, it works like a charm, now for me this problem is solved only having 20 users, took me a few minutes to add them all to the 100D, but if you have a lot of users, this would be a major undertaking. I think this is a bug in the software where it will not display users
