Configuring LDAP on GSA/Mini
April 25th, 2007
Active Directory (AD) under Windows 2003 does not allow anonymous LDAP operations to AD. This is required by the Google Search Appliance or Google Mini to auto detect the settings. This article describes how to change AD to allow Anonymous LDAP operations to a Windows Server 2003.

If you tolerance for using barely supported and sparsely documented tools is as short as mine, I suggest simply making a DN query similar to this:
"CN=Troy Flint,CN=Users,DC=horizen,DC=local"
Where the admin’s name is “Troy Fling”, who’s in the Users Group and the domain is horizon.local. I set up the others as follows:
Host: 10.10.10.10 (IP address and not server name)
Port: 389
DN: as described as above
PW: my password.
It worked on the first try!
