Re: ADAM / AD Proxy Bind

I apologize for the delay, but I was not aware that a reply had existed. Thanks Joe for the reply! First I will explain my situation: We have a .Net app that will utilize ADAM. ADAM will bind to AD. Some of the users we will add directly into ADAM. Other users will be bound from AD. The AD may contain 50K users, and we want to bind maybe 1000 of them. In the MSFT doco, they talk about administrating ADAM Proxy objects programmatically using a tool that they supply called bindredirect.exe. However, I can not find that application. In a nutshell, what I would like to accomplish is a way that the admins can setup the proxy users more efficiently than by doing them one-by-one as seen via the LDP app. Maybe I should investigate the ADAMsync tool for this.

On another similar topic, "ADAM and SSL", I cannot believe the trouble I am having to get this setup, especially since it seems like there's allot of doco out there stating how others have had trouble, and they specified what they have done to making the steps easier to understand. I have still not succeeded with this. I complete all the steps and still get the following error in LDP:

ld = ldap_sslinit("FICTIONWDA001.FIC.DEV", 50053, 1)
Error 0 = ldap_set_option(hLdap, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3)
Error 81 = ldap_connect(hLdap, NULL)
Server error: empty
Error 0x51: Fail to connect to FICTIONWDA001.FIC.DEV.

The other thing that puzzles me is that the MachineKeys directory that gets mentioned in every article, never gets a new file when I install the certificates. There are 6 old files in there with long hash names. The server is 2003, and it also acts as a domain controller.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
