2 Places:

Initially in FOG Configuration, FOG System Settings, Active Directory Defaults

&

Subsequently re-entered it in Host Management, Active Directory for the Host I’m testing with

Entering the password in the “Domain Password” Field. Leaving “Domain Password Legacy” field blank

@jeffscott just to clarify, you’re using the plaintext password in the non legacy password field? Maybe we can remote tomorrow so I can see what’s going on?

Hey Tom,

Sorry, I was away for a few days…

Yes, I’m using the non-legacy password field. Yes, I’d be willing to do a remote session.

Thanks,

Jeff

Hey Tom,

I’m just now coming back around to this…

Any updates on this?

Thanks,

Jeff

[Tom Elliott]

@jeffscott I’m willing whenever you’re able. Maybe this afternoon? (I’m on EDT)

@tom-elliott

Ugh…

We keep missing each other. How do you want to go about connecting?

@tom-elliott

Any chance we can revisit this?

@jeffscott Hey, I hope you are still around in the forums. I just looked into an issue that sounds very similar to what you have. See here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/12407/active-direcory-join-fail-bad-password-1-5-4

Just found your post here by accident and thought this might be along the same lines. Can you confirm your password starts with a special character that might cause this issue?! I really hope to figure this out but I’m still unable to replicate the issue from the information I have so far.

@Sebastian-Roth FYI, i am using 1.5.4 with a ad join password starting with % (percent sign) in production.

@x23piracy Thanks, that’s good to know. Although I guess it might be that $ special case causing the issue for the other users as it is used for variables in PHP, as line end in regular expressions such things.
