Symptoms

LDAP import functionality does not import objects in an AD to the Columbus database.

Cause

If the computer that runs the LDAP import is not member of the domain that should be imported, a user name and password is required to perform the import.

Resolution

You must specify a user name and password to connect to the foreign Active directory domain. Note: You need to specify the full logon name (user@domain.com) instead of the pre-Windows 2000-account name (user).
