Registration with directory service failed. (Server Down[81])

Please HELP!

I keep getting the same error in the Server Admin Tool. It says "Registration with directory service failed. (Server Down[81])".

What do I do now. The only troubleshooting I find to do is verify the server name, port and firewalls. All are fine.

Registration with a DS takes a very weird syntax and it can be very hard getting that syntax correct.

Why do you need the registration BTW? It's purely for information purposes and is not required for FMS to function properly or for using External Authentication...

I want to recommend very strongly that anyone who is interested in External Server Authentication read the White paper on that topic found on the FileMaker, Inc. website:

Wim Decorte and I tried to cover many of the commonly asked questions and commonly encountered scenarios.
