Playing around with LDAP authentication...

So last week I was playing around with and learning Cisco ACS and Radius Authentication on my ASA.

This week I'm trying to figure out LDAP authentication on my ASA.

I setup a test AD Win2k3 Server and configured my ASA as follows:
aaa-server AD-SERVER protocol ldap
aaa-server AD-SERVER (inside) host 10.33.85.177
 ldap-base-dn DC=test, DC=internal
 ldap-group-base-dn CN=Users, DC=test, DC=internal
 ldap-naming-attribute sAMAccountName
 ldap-login-password *****
 ldap-login-dn CN=Administrator, CN=Users, DC=test, DC=internal
 server-type microsoft

Everything looks good, my asa can ping the AD server. But I run a test aaa-server authentication against it and I just keep getting the following output.
INFO: Attempting Authentication test to IP address <10.33.85.177> (timeout: 12 seconds)
ERROR: Authentication Rejected: User was not found

I'm not sure what exactly the problem is. Perhaps my ldap configuration is wrong? Everything in AD is setup standard out of the box, my domain is test.internal. Any thoughts?

    I was just about to highlight the above and then saw your answer to your question. icon_wink.gif:)
    I usually hang out on 224.0.0.10 (FF02::A) and 224.0.0.5 (FF02::5) when I'm in a non-proprietary mood.
