Cannot get AD Authentication to work!

Dal

Hi!

I'm trying to get AD Auth to work, but I have run into some problems.

We run NPM 10.1.3 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, and the server is a member of our AD Domain.

I have added the group <domain\Administrators>, but no administrators are able to log in.

If I add a single AD user, that user seem to work. But then only when using domain\username, not username alone.

What am I doing wrong?

Please check that you are adding the "Domain Administrators" group. Note that the groups must be Security Groups...not Distribution Groups.

Here is a Tech ref on using AD authentication in Orion which sould be of use:

It could also be because Domain\Administrators is a Domain Local Group, I bet it will need to be a Domain Global or Domain Universal group (type of security like Sean said).

Making a new group that's Domain Global worked for us. Thanks!
