Easy migration from DCD to Active Directory?

Hi All,
I've got a CM running DCD and about 2000 users. They now want to migrate to AD - I understand the plugin doesn't move the users over to AD so is there any "tool" developed to add the users to AD afterwards?
Many thanks to you all in advance,
Stuart

I would echo the thoughts of the first poster, people really need to think about what they are gaining by linking to AD, and if it outweighs the drawbacks. It has been the biggest headache on our deployment since we switched.
That said, what kind of redundancy are you looking for? The MS side of the network should be providing redundancy for the AD, and as far as the connection from CCM you can (and will) run the plugin at will and during production hours.
Also, what accounts are you trying to move over to AD?

Are you able to connect to AD over SSL through some LDAP Browser ?
Check the validity of Certificate ?
Does your certificate appear in the list ?

Migration SBS2003 to SBS2008 Active Directory Replication

I am migrating from SBS2003 server to SBS2008. I fired up the 2008 server on the network with the 2003 server and started the migration. I got about 25% progress on the “Expanding and Installing Files” window when I got an error message of “Active Directory Replication is taking longer than expected. You can choose whether to continue waiting. If you choose not to wait the migration may fail. Unless you are sure that replication is working correctly, it is recommended that you continue to wait”. After waiting three times of 20 minutes each I don’t think it is working. What are my options? What can I check for?

Hi,
As it is a SBS-related issue, you may wish to post to the SBS newsgroup. This will provide access to others who read the public newsgroups regularly who will either share their knowledge.

Can you authenticate user/password from SAP to Active Directory

I don't want to implement SSO for ABAP because my company doesn't have the license for "SAP NW Single Sign-On"; but we would like to authenticate our users and their passwords to active directory. Our goal is to make sure the user/password in SAP is the same as their Active Directory user/password. Is this possible?
Thanks!

This has been discussed many times, for example see SSO with LAN UserID/Password. The short answer is no, you can't synchronize passwords. You can however achieve the requirement assuming you are using Identity Management to provision users and passwords to all systems (AD, SAP, etc). In that case you will have to deal with users changing their password. Recommendation is to enable SSO. If you don't want to get licenses for NWSSO, try to look at other options (X.509 certificates, SPNEGO in AS JAVA and then issue a Logon Ticket, 3rd party solution, etc).

Adding Users from sharepoint into Active Directory Groups

I have a requirement for Approval Workflow where the Approved User gets added to AD group directly,i think 2 way sync is possible.plz help

Out of the box, I really doubt that this is possible BUT it can more than likely be achieved via the Object Model. A good discussion and some attached code can be seen here.

Provisioning: Users from OIM to Active Directory

Dear Experts!
I am trying to setup provisionig from OIM to AD. I just want to provision Users from OIM to AD.
I am going through this documentation/tutorial:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11223_01/doc.910/e11197/deploy.htm#insertedID0
i also read this:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/fusion_middleware/im1014/oim/ad_provision/prov2ad.htm
But it just won't work. The provisioned resource get's always status rejected in the (To-Do List --> Open Tasks).
Then i tried to test the connection to AD using this documentation:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11223_01/doc.910/e11197/testing.htm
And i get this error in the console:
http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/3190/errorq.png
The IT resource: ADITResource looks like this:
Remote Manager Prov Script Path:
Admin FQDN: [email protected]
Use SSL: no
Remote Manager Prov Lookup: AtMap.AD.RemoteScriptlookUp
Target Locale TimeZone: GMT
Port Number: +636+

Could be the problem that i don't use SSL? I don't set Passwords in AD, i have read that then i don't need SSL...?
I am new to OIM, so your response is greatly appreciated!
Thank you very much in advance!

Hello again Raj!
Thank you for your answer. You have always good ideas...
*1) Whats the response that you are getting from AD for this operation. Check this as following:*
Go to Users->UserABC->(Resource Profile from Drop down)->(Click your particular resource instance)->(Select the rejected task precisely "Create User")_
I get this on the Task Name - Create User:
Status:Rejected
Response: Please Select the Organization or Container Name from Organization Name Lookup
Response Description: Please Select the Organization or Container Name from Organization Name Lookup
But i can't get to populate the Organization Name on the user form, because there are no values available.
Under Error Details there is nothing.
*2) If your IT resource parameters are incorrect, you will get a connection error in logs. Your port information is correct, it has to be Port->389 and Use SSL-no*
I have created a new IT resource without SSL. Just to test the connection to AD. It works because I get “Successfully established connection to the AD_Test_without_SSL.”
Bellow is my NEW configuration for the IT Resource.

Migrating to new Active Directory Domain

Hey people,
I have a OSX Server here at a school which I need to move from an old Active Directory domain to a new one. We are having a restructure of our IT System and 90% of our equipment is PC but have a few macs on site for the specific tasks that we need them to do.
The OSX server was set-up 2yrs ago by some consultant which charged an arm and leg, so its up to me this time round to configure it. It is not a vital part of the IT system so a rebuild is possible, but the quicker it can moved across the better.
So my question is. Is it easier to "modify" the settings on the OSX Server to the new domain? i.e. change field names in Server Admin. or rebuild the server from scratch?
Our configuration is Apple clients authenticate to AD, but grab all their settings and OSX group membership from the OSX server. I have here a guide called "Leveraging Active Directory on OSX" would this be useful if I need to rebuild the server? I am fairly confident that I wont run into too many problems, but things like kerberos settings, etc may confuse me. Any help would be excellent!

Hi,
perform homogeneous system copy if you migrate from one server to other.

Creating group dynamically in active directory depending on their role

Hi,
I have sycn oid and active directory using directory integration platform. Now the scenario is We have one system says hr system which take care of entering all the user information. Once it submit that information it goes to oid. Now we want that when we import all that user from oid to active directory it didn't duplicate any user as well as depending on their role it should create groups dynamically in active directory. For e.g: If user belong to Trainee category or manager category it must create Trainee group & Manager group & respective person should go into that group. I don't know whether my question is placed in right group or not. I am using filter to do this task but not able to write proper condition in "source matching filter" and "destination matching rule". Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sonya Sharma

Thanks Tamim. To clear your thought, i will explain again. I have sync oid and active directory through Directory integration platform. I have created user in oid.(cn=users,dc=mycompany,dc=com). It get sync in active directory properly. Now i have created two group in active directory say for e.g Trainees and Manager. There is a field name position in oid which is a custom attribute. When i fill the information of user in oid, I have to fill "Position" attribute also. So my question is that, if i fill Trainee as a value in Position attribute and click on submit it should go in Trainee Group In active directory and not in user group. Same for manager. How can we achieve this? Can we do it through filter? Or any other way? It's needed desperately. Please help me in resolving this issue.

Sunil

Creating users in Active Directory through LDAP connector

Hello,
If we need to create users in Active directory using LDAP connector, what are the options for the following:
1) Update back into SAP from AD. LDAP connector updates only in one direction i.e from SAP to Active directory.
2) Can we add additional fields in LDAPMAP which are not standard e.g can we we write our own code to extract data from HR to map the value with an attritube within Active directory?
Regards,
Ahmad

Hello!
I noticed the email in my inbox and understand the reason for deleting it - checked the rules again - no problem with that.
Here is the posting again - sanitized this time.
You can create users in LDAP/AD from SAP without a problem. SAP provides function modules to create/maintain/delete users with LDAP attributes in the correct ou path.
You can also perform group membership assignment in LDAP from SAP if needed.
I have done this quite a few times at different companies that use SAP HCM.
A userid in SAP is created automatically during hiring action with default password e.g. birthday of employee and certain authorization roles based on configured information.
The userid is then created right away in LDAP in the correct ou path (controlled via custom configuration table) and LDAP group membership is assigned.
A job runs every 8 hours to perform delta updates in LDAP.
The userid in SAP and LDAP are locked automatically if the user is terminated using termination action in HR.

MS Active Directory LDAP Authentication/Locking Issue.

Dear All,
We are a software company; we have implemented feature of LDAP Authentication in our product using Java API and its working fine from our network environment.
We have used following things with LDAP feature.
1. User Authentication.
2. Locking account after exceed the maximum attempts that has configured in window server.
Main our issue is: The LDAP feature is not working properly from our client side. They are able to authenticate their LDAP user but do not able to lock user account however they have exceeded the maximum attempts from login dialog of our products but it still working in our side.
If anybody has any experienced about it then please reply with positvie solution or any other information like require do the specific configuration for different version of Windows and Active Directory Server etc.
Can any body know what are the possibilities for identifying and resolving this issue?
Please help us if anybody has any experienced about it.
Please do the needful.
Thanks,
Mehul.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
We have used java package of javax.naming.* and javax.naming.directory.* for LDAP Authentication.
Following code for checking whether ADS User is valid or not.
* Function checks whether ADSUser is valid user or not
* @returns int value indicating result.
public int isValidADSUser() {
Hashtable env = new Hashtable(5);
Vector adsInfoVec = getADSInfo();
env.put("java.naming.referral", "ignore");
// env.put("java.naming.security.authentication", "simple");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION,"simple");
String provider = "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory";
env.put("java.naming.factory.initial", provider);
//For handling Uncontinued reference found message of partial result exception
env.put(Context.REFERRAL, "follow");
env.put("java.naming.ldap.derefAliases", "always");
env.put("java.naming.ldap.deleteRDN", "false");
env.put("java.naming.ldap.attributes.binary", "");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,

pex.printStackTrace();
return COMMUNICATION_ERROR;
catch (NamingException e) {
System.out.println("Failed to connect to ");
e.printStackTrace();
return COMMUNICATION_ERROR;
return SUCCESS;
Result of this code from our company: We are able to Authenticate LDAP user and also Lock User Account after exceed the Max Failure Attempt that configured from Windows Server.
Result of this code from our client side: They are able to Authenticate LDAP user but they can't User Accout Lock however exceed the Max Failure Attemp that configured from their Windows Server.
Can u please help us if any experience about it and suggest if any other configuration require from Windows Server / Active Directory Server OR also if some other implementation require for resolving this issue.
Your optimistic reply is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mehul Garnara.

Using Active-Directory PW at SAP logon procedure

Hello,
I have the requirement no to use single sign on for some systems with sensitive data, but would like to check during sap logon procedure the from our central active directory password.
is there any best practice configuration or SAP / AD Win Addon solution available to connect SAP NW abap 7.40 at Win2012 sever with our active directory. Nearly all win based applications can handle a PW check from application to AD. Is there any SAP or Partner implementation helpful to expand the SAP client internal User-PW check?
Thanks in advanced for alternatives to the standard client SSO or any idea in the direction using active directory password within sap-logon.
Please give me a short feedback if you need more details.
regards,
Bernhard Mair
Goethe-Institut München

The SAP NetWeaver ABAP app server only accepts SAP user id and password or it can use SNC to authenticate the user when SAP GUI is used on workstation. So, if you want the user to be prompted to enter their Active Directory credentials during a logon using SAP GUI, and you don't want SSO, then you need to purchase a third party product.
Please note, that SAP is not JUST a Windows based application, as it can also be installed on Unix and Linux, so SAP have made it work in same way on all platforms without any 'special' windows authentication capabilities.
Thanks

Hi,
>>Error 0x2073 An attempt was made to add an object using an RDN that is not the RDN defined in the schema.
Based on the error description, the RDN attribute of the object doesn't match the RDN attribute defined in AD Schema.
Regarding RDN attribute in AD Schema, the following article can be referred to for more information.
RDN attribute

In addition, for this involves third party product, it's recommended that we also contact vendor support to ask for suggestions.

Does one of the Lync SQL databases store the active directory username or SID of the person who made a call ?

I am trying to write a report that uses data from Lync (2010), Active directory (AD) and other databases.
I need to match data from Lync with records in active directory.
When you make/recieve a call, the session details has a userid column - a foreign key to the users table, which has the UserURI - the users emails adddress or telephone number.
However, trying to mach the data, I have noticed that someones email address can change so that what is in active directory does not match that used as the SIPaddress in Lync.
I need a field that matches in Active directory and Lync to be able to link a users call records with their active directroy records.
I was wondering how Lync decides which Lync user you are when it auto logins you in.
Does it do it on the basis of your phone number, AD username or something else ?
If so , where in Lync does it store the mapping from whatever it uses to your Lync userid ?
Greg

The msrtcsip-primaryuseraddress attribute in AD is where the users SIP address is stored.
This can change still, but generally that should not be very often except maybe a name change or domain name change.
Almost everything in Lync is based on the SIP address. In CDR's case, it is just recording SIP messages as they pass through the front end; it has no visibility into the actual AD account that sent it.
If you will need to match user SIP addresses back to live AD accounts, even after a SIP address change, then I would recommend setting up a custom AD attribute to store their SIP account history and have a policy to update that attribute each time someone's
SIP address gets changed.
