I have a Domino application the users access by Web. The authentication is made through LDAP against Active Directory (the users are not registered in Domino, they are registered in AD). In several parts I have to connect to the LDAP in order to list the users of the AD using the lsx "lsxldap.dll". When I have the connection user with a lot of "OU" (for example: "cn=user, ou=ou1, ou=ou2, ou=ou3) the connection is not successful (when the user has just one "OU" everything works ok). Could you please help me with this issue?
My guess is that your search is timing out. Increase the timeout threshold on the AD side. Perhaps you need to limit your search base to look at a lower OU as well.
Do you have comments on this Ask the Expert question and response? Let us know.
