Hi

We have a problem running scheduled tasks when we activate AD-authentication on our FME Server 2015. We get the following message in the log:

MEServerJobSubmitter(ServerJobSubmissionFactory): Could not initialize connection to server "localhost". FME Server error: `Authentication failed: Failed to bind to Active Directory with the given username and password.'

Anyone got this to work ?

Kind regards

I've asked our Server team but I think this is something you should file with our support team (safe.com/support) or the support team of your local reseller.

Looking in the documentation, I did find something that might help diagnose the problem:

  • Ensure that SECURITY_DEBUG=true is set in the
    fmeCommonConfig.txt. This configuration parameter is located under the
    'Security Management' heading. With this debugging flag enabled, all
    interactions with Active Directory are logged.
  • Look in the fmeServer_* log files for messages with '(Active Directory)' or '(Single Sign-On)'. These files are located in <FMEServerDir>/Logs.

This might provide more clues as to what the problem is.

Sorry I can't be more help. But let us know what you find if you try this.

I'm told it should work. It may just be the password in the FMEServerJobSubmitter.

Hi, I sort of encounter the same problem, which I worked around using HTTPCaller and a REST call to JobSubmit a workspace on FMEServer. This works fine, however, if I try to Trigger a notification using the HTTPCaller, I get the same Error (401, Authentication failed: Failed to bind to Active Directory"). I generate a token first before I submit the HTTP request.
