Active Directory Integration Issues

Postby unstable » Mon Apr 30, 2007 1:56 pm

Greetings, so far a great product, I can't roll it out yet as I want the authentication to be based on our users AD credentials. I am stuck at adding the Active Directory Schema extensions. I have used my AD user (w/Enterprise Admin and Schema Admin Priveleges) and the Directory's Administrator user (w/same priveleges) and am getting the following:

C:\>"C:\Program Files\Scalix\Administration\ScalixForestPrep.exe" --install
Scalix Forest Prep 11.0.3.1
Copyright (c) 2006, Scalix Corporation
Schema will be updated with the Scalix extensions.
Error creating the scalixScalixObject attribute
Error code: 8007200e

I've done a google search on the Error Code, as it doesn't seem like anyone else here has had the issue and the only thing I can find is that it relates to a Windows LDAP message of: LDAP_BUSY ERROR_DS_BUSY", "Server is busy." I have tried just about everything.

I am running a single Domain Controller, Windows Server 2003 Standard w/SP1, Dual 3Ghz., and 2GB RAM. Please Help!

Fixed it!

Okay, hopefully this will help someone else if they ever have any problems. My DC's replication partner died a while back (read: 1 year) and so I've had one DC since. Before doing any of this, I backed up the server and made a manual copy of the NTDS folder.

I started going through the event logs and noticed that there were a bunch of NTFRS warnings in the File Replication Service event. I looked under Sites and Services and found that the old DC was still listed there. I removed it and re-ran the Schema update utility and it worked. Dunno why it was an issue unless the domain thought it was the Schema master. Anyways, hope this helps.

Additional Active Directory Issues creating Kerberos Keytab

Postby unstable » Thu May 03, 2007 3:39 pm

According to the SSO AD Instructions provided, the step to create the kerberos keytab is:

ktpass –princ scalix-ual/scalixservername.domain@REALM –mapuser scalix-ual -pass password –out path\filename -kvno 3

For example: ktpass -princ scalix-ual/scalixserver.acme.net@ACME.NET -mapuser scalix-ual -pass password -out scalix-ual.keytab -kvno 3


I had issues creating a keytab and the resulting error was:

ktpass -princ scalix-ual/cc-mail01-srv.imamed.local@IMAMED -mapuser scalix-ual -pass ****** -out scalix-ual.keytab -kvno 3
DsCrackNames returned 0x2 in the name entry for scalix-ual.
ktpass:failed getting target domain for specified user.


Basically ktpass couldn't find the user in the directory, I got around this by specifying the user and domain, ie.. domain\domain.user. I hope this helps someone, as I was stuck on this for a bit.

In reference to my example above, try:
ktpass -princ scalix-ual/cc-mail01-srv.imamed.local@IMAMED -mapuser imamed\scalix-ual -pass ****** -out scalix-ual.keytab -kvno 3
