Unable to re-add active directory server to confluence

smcdonald20 July 2, 2024

Hello,

I ran into an issue in which my second Domain controller would not perform a full directory sync, even with disabling the "Enable Incremental Syncronization" option.  I removed the second active directory server and tried to re-add it, but I get an error

Could not save directory configuration. Error message:
Directory with name "Active Directory server" already exists.

My Confluence version is 7.0.3.

Any assistance or steps to resolve would be appreciated.

Have you tried giving your 2nd "Active Directory Server" a different name?

I like naming them PDC and BDC.

Yes, I have tried different name, and used IP address as well.

Browse the docs and see if anything pops out.  Most of the AD support is post 8.x, you may be better off upgrading to a more recent version.
