not able to register FM server with AD

[jkumbruck]

I'm using FileMaker Server 7v3 and I'm trying to register FileMaker Server with a directory service (AD) but I'm not able to do this. I fill in everything correctly:

Directory server name: <full DNS name of a DC>

DN: <distinguished name of the DC>

Login settings

Enabled Use Windows authentication

log in using: <Username + password of domain administrator>

I get the following errormessage in eventviewer:

Source: FileMaker Server 7

Event ID:27

Description:Registration with directory service failed. (No Such Object)

Does anybody knows what I have to do here?

thanks in advance for any help

For external authentification and other FileMaker service settings(like LDAP), I recommend you to download and read this very useful techbrief by Steven H. Blackwell and Wim Decorte.

It is called "Server External Authentication", available at http://www.filemaker.com/support/upgrade/techbriefs.html
