Problem: How to configure LDAP using ‘MS Active Directory’ for Non-US installations.
Problem: Names can be imported into Project Manager/Project Management but can not be used for LDAP authentication by the Client server tools, Primavision/myPrimavera or Timesheets
Problem: After importing the windows users in to the database, Project Manager would not recognize the password, unless you switched the mode LDAP mode back to NATIVE.
Fix:

1.    First, install LDAP as described in the Administrator’s Guide. This will allow you to import the names and passwords into the Project Manager database.
2.    Run the
LDAPCfgWiz.exe again and switch the mode back to “NATIVE”.
3.    Login to Project Manager and pick one of the newly imported users and assign the user access to Project Manager / Management by selecting Admin, Users
   

      
       Note: Select named or Concurrent as appropriate for your license agreement.



4.    Please run the following command from a command prompt on the Active Directory Server machine:
           
LDIFDE -m -f <logfile>
       where the <
logfile> is the name and path to store the output of this command.

       e.g.   
LDIFDE -m -f c:\ldap\ldap_out.log
       

5.    Once complete, open the logfile.
6.    Within the file, locate the same exact user described on a
dn line.  Copy the entry for the ‘member’ line – emboldened below:

       Example section:
   
    dn: CN=Administrators,CN=Bulletin,DC=cslabuk,DC=com
       changetype: modify
       add: member
       member:
CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=cslabuk,DC=com

7.    Run the LDAPCfgWiz.exe application again:
      


      


8.    Change the mode back to LDAP:
      


9.    Choose to ‘modify’ the configuration:
      


10.   Access the optional individual section:
       


11.   The ‘Login’ screen will appear as shown below:
       


12.    Within the optional ‘Login’ screen enter the entry copied from the ‘member’ entry from step 6; and the corresponding ‘password’ for that user:
        

    
    
13.   Test the connection:
         


14.     The following confirmation message should be displayed:
         


15. Once this has been confirmed hit ‘OK’ and continue to complete the wizard.


NOTE: When searching for and importing users, the machine running the LDAPCfgWiz.exe MUST be joined to the same domain as the LDAP server.
