Use this form to test the connection to Microsoft Active Directory (Read/Write) directory 'Active Directory server'.
For extended testing enter the credentials of a user in the remote directory.
Test basic connection : Succeeded
Test retrieve user : Failed

Hey Alex,

From the stack trace, it looks like you are having issues with the user directory configuration. Usually this is solved by disabling the "Follow Referrals" in the advanced section of your User Directory configuration.

You can find more information on this in the following KB:
