I have the LDAP configured to the point where I can see the user templates, but I cannot figure out how to change the LDAP config to see actual domain users. The config I am using was designed for Server 2003, not SBS2003, so the AD tree for Server 2003 is somewhat different. What do I need to change in the following to get this to work properly?
Current LDAP config (from openfire.xml)
<ldap>
<host>server</host>
<port>389</port>
<baseDN>cn=SBSUsers, cn=Users,cn=MyBusiness,dc=
<adminDN>cn=Administrator,
<adminPassword>calista</ad
<connectionPoolEnabled>tru
<sslEnabled>false</sslEnab
<ldapDebugEnabled>false</l

Hmm, your BASEDN seems a bit too "deep". On my Openfire connecting to my 2003 AD server, I have:
pany.net</ host> ,dc=net</b aseDN> =net</admi nDN> inPassword > e</connect ionPoolEna bled> led> dapDebugEn abled> </autoFoll owReferral s> ame</usern ameField> =organizat ionalPerso n)</search Filter>
<ldap>
<host>myserver.decker12com
<port>389</port>
<baseDN>dc=decker12company
<adminDN>CN=LDAP Lookup User,OU=Users,OU=Palo Alto,DC=decker12company,DC
<adminPassword>foofoo</adm
<connectionPoolEnabled>tru
<sslEnabled>false</sslEnab
<ldapDebugEnabled>false</l

I was actually very pleasantly suprised when openfire connected to AD LDAP server the first time, without any real hitches.
