2008 server and sonicwall ldap queries
I am setting up a sonicwall to query ldap on a 2008 server for vpn users, I have set the dns on the sonicwall to the 2008 server and the correct username and password. I used softerra ldap administration tool to verify connectivity and all looks good but I keep getting error credentials not valid at ldap server. see screen dumps thanks 
review the link below. looks like your config may be off a bit

Hmm is the data in the link correct as the second screen dump of the sonicwall settings it states "enter display name here" this doesn't look right, surely it should be the administrator username and not a user display name?
I tried both but neither worked when I tested using the test tab

just one final thing if I may. when I do a test for a user in active directory, ldap authentication succeeds but when I go to ldap users and select import users I get: Error: LDAP directory mismatch ?
go to the directory tab, how many ou's do you see?
ASKER
internal.local\users for trees containing users and internal.local\groups for tress containing groups
click the auto import button...i thin...and have it import you AD structure into the sonicwall. the button is there on the directory tab.

As easy as that! thanks worked great.
