I heard that the LDAP settings are harder to configure on a Windows machine. What makes it harder?

From my experience it is harder to configure an active directory LDAP connection compared to a Unix based LDAP one because the connection string is tougher to get correct.  Is this what you mean?

Something like that. Is it different from doing this: http://groups.google.com/group/irplus/browse_thread/thread/7a5ce46799154694

Should be along those lines.  Let me know if you run into any trouble.

Is there a log file for LDAP errors? Or is it all under the irplus log?

We did what was on thread, and it just seems like the IRPlus server is not communicating with the LDAP server at all.

Check the ir_plus log - are there any errors?

No, it turns out we our computer is not responding to the LDAP port.

Do you think this might be an IR+ issue or a firewall issue or something else?

I think we narrowed it down to an IR+ issue. We are able to connect to the LDAP server by other means, and the settings that we put into IR+ should be correct. It looks like IR+ isn't even trying to connect to the LDAP server.

Could you double check the property: 

external.authentication.enabled = false

and make sure it is set to: True

By default it is set to false

It is set to true, it seems like it is missing the code to actually connect to the server. We were able to connect to the server by other means using the the same settings that we did for the IR+ config. I think it has to do with the IR+....

Have you logged into IR+ and added an external username and password to the user account?

You mean made a new account in the IR+ that isn't in our LDAP server?

Yep - IR+ always has a local account for a user and allows the user to also have an external authentication.  When the user logs in if an external account is set up it tries that if it cannot find an internal one.

Well we can log in using the admin account we created, but it's trying to log in using credentials from the LDAP server we have.

Never mind, I think we found out the problem. We didn't connect one of the user names to an account that we created in IR+.
