First, I'm not an AD admin on site, but my manager has asked me to try to get my personal Redmine installation to integrate with ActiveDirectory in order to test-drive it for a larger-scale rollout.

Our AD server is at host:port ims.example.com:389 and I have a user IMS/me.

Right now, I also have a user me in Redmine using local authentication.

I have created an ActiveDirectory LDAP authentication method in RedMine with the following parameters:

Host: ims.example.com
Port: 389
Base DN: cn=Users,dc=ims,dc=example,dc=com

On-The-Fly User Creation: YES
Login: sAMAccountName
Firstname: givenName
Lastname: sN
Email: mail

Testing this connection works just fine.

I have, however, not successfully authenticated with it.

I've created a backup admin user so that I can get back in to the me account if I break things, and then I've tried changing me to use the ActiveDirectory credentials. However, once I do, nothing works to log in. I have tried all of these login name options:

me
IMS/me
IMS\me

I've used my known Domain password, but no joy.

So, what setting do I have wrong, or what information do I need to acquire in order to make this work?
