Hello, my name is Andrew. I'm new to jabber and this forum. Now that I have that out of the way, here is my problem:

I'm trying to setup a jabber server for the company I work for using the openfire server client. There are about 50-100 (I don't know, I haven't been here very long) employees. I want to integrate our active directory domain controller for the users database. When I enter all the information it gives me an error when I try to test the settings:

Invalid DN syntax or naming violation

I'm pretty sure I have all the info correctly entered. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

I figured out my problem. I'm very new to this and didn't know I had to type the Domain name in a certain way. This did bring up another question though:

How do I get it to look in just a single OU for users? I used this line:

ou=<organizationalunit>;dc=<domain>

It grabs users from every container though.

Well I figured it out. I just had to restart the server and it only grabbed users from that specific container.
