NextCloud LDAP Error
-
I apologize for not coming back. Came home to a power outage last night unfortunately.
For some reason they have two separate domains--one for e-mail and one for everything else. This was set up by the company before us. My company has basically been trying to undo the misconfigurations over time as the state allows.
Side note: Government is even more strict fiscally than the non-profits I've worked for. Getting them to even purchase a google domain for the web server is difficult.

Let us know when you are ready to tackle this again.

I'm "ready". I'm wondering if my boss set this to require SSL or something. I sent an e-mail asking.

Set what to require SSL? AD authentication? It should be using Kerberos I would think. (note - Kerberos might be wrong here).
What version of Windows Server are you using? what Domain/Forest levels are you at?

2008 R2. Root domain
I attempted to do this on port 636 for SSL but it still didn't work.
Always comes back with the Base DN appears to be wrong.

Can this be an issue with LDAP server signing requirements?
"If you set the server to Require Signature, you must also set the client. Not setting the client results in loss of connection with the server."

Why something so old?

They don't want to spend money. That is the OS version we are running.

Better start telling them now that 2008 R2 support (i.e. security updates) is almost over.
Just a hair over 3 years, just like Windows 7.

If they didn't want to spend money, they'd be running on Linux for AD since 2008 R2 functionality is free. Running on Windows means that they want to spend money. Nothing wrong with running Windows, but there is something wrong with running anything you can't afford to maintain.

@Dashrender That's SQL Server. And SQL Server 2008 is much older than Windows Server 2008 R2 (which is 2010.)

Tell them this now! It's only 2.7 years away. That will be here before you know it. Who knows how long you'll need to prepare migrations, etc.

It's already TWO YEARS past the end of mainstream support!

When has that really ever meant anything for an MS OS? you mainly care about security updates, you rarely got feature updates/enhancements.

Remember that the contract is to people who don't want to spend $12 a year on a domain.
