What is my DC?
Windows 2003 AD Server and RSA
I'm trying to connect RSA Auth Manager to my AD. It wants "User Base DN" and "User Group Base DN".
My domain is corp.company.com
User Base DN: cn=users,DC=corp,DC=compan
User Group Base DN: ou=Groups,DC=corp,DC=compa
It didn't like that answer. How do I find the answers in AD?

In Active directory go to the OU that stores your users. Right click and go to properties. Click on the Attribute Editor tab. Copy the value in the distinguishedName.
Though if your users are in the users OU and the groups are in the groups OU, then what you have is already correct. there must be something else mis configured.

It might not like that you are using the default "users" container, it is not an organization unit (OU). Try creating an OU named after your company and make a "users" OU and "security groups" OU under that, then update your DNs accordingly. I.e. ou=users, ou="My Company", dc=corp, dc=company, dc=com.
It looks right otherwise.

s3trios: clicking on domain controllers shows my two domain controllers.
cmscheetz: When I right click on corp.company.com and select properties, there is no Attribute Editor tab. Does this exist in Win2003?

Sorry, Go to View and check Advanced Features. You will see it after that.

cmscheetz: Advanced Features is already checked. I looked at both my domain controllers and when I right click on corp.company.com, the tabs are General, Managed By, Object, Security, and Group Policy. Do I need to install something to view the tab?
Use adsiEdit.msc it shows the DN for every object right in the mmc. If you don't have it you can download it, but it comes with Win 7.
Sorry! I just looked into it and this is a new feature in 2k8. But again your Distinguished Name is correct as long as your users are in the default users and not an OU you created outside of it.
Apparently there are issues if the query returns too many results. Here is an article explaining. I hope it helps.

Odd. I got it to accept the following.
User Base DN: DC=corp,DC=company,DC=com
User Group Base DN: DC=corp,DC=company,DC=com
I removed cn=users and ou=Groups.
Do you think this will work? I appreciate your help.
User Base DN: DC=corp,DC=company,DC=com
User Group Base DN: DC=corp,DC=company,DC=com
I removed cn=users and ou=Groups.

Hard to say without seeing what you are seeing. I would just test it and see if you get the results you are expecting. If it does work it is just scanning all of AD which isn't the most effecient but may be fine with a relatively small directory.

I got it working. Thanks for the help.
