OneView and Active Directory integration

OneView Active Directory Integration

Hi, busy today. I've been bashing my head around trying to get AD integration with OneView 1.10 working for weeks now! I kept getting the same old error:

"Cannot authenticate the server with the given credentials, search context and certificate.
Verify that the server is active and the user credentials, search context and certificate are correct."

Failed Configuration:

I got time to lab this today and after checking a few guides I decided to try a slightly different value for the second field below and use CN for it, and it worked! As this was not reflective of the Production Environment I was working on I backtracked and created a similar structure and tested that too.

Working Configuration:

Now I needed to reference an OU two levels down, if I try and JUST reference my OU's it fails but I can combine a few here and I know CN=Users works. So I used this:

Working Final Configuration:

Now I can make the Active Directory the default login option and add any group under the Lab OU. I only have two levels but if I ALSO add the sub OU Groups, I can't see any of the groups inside it so choose an OU one level up (CN=Users+OU=Lab) instead of (CN=Users+OU=Lab,OU=Groups) for this to work as shown above. Now you can search for groups under that structure and add them in with appropriate permissions.

I wish I had this post weeks ago!
