We're using WSFTP, which has an Active Directory Integration module. To populate the user accounts you need to provide a connection string akin to:

  • OU=Users,DC=domain,DC=com
  • CN=Domain Users,OU=Users,DC=domain,DC=com

Questions:

  • Is there a Tool/Program/Script/Formula that allows me to decipher how these strings might look based on what I can see in Active Directory Users & Computers?
  • Is there a proper/accepted name for these types of connection strings? I don't even know what to Google to get more information about how to format one properly
  • How would I troubleshoot the connection string if I think it looks correctly formatted, but it isn't working?

Thanks!
