Fedora directory users - Nov 2006 - Windows Sync - Unable to contact Active Directory

I''m still trying to get Windows Sync working on my Red Hat Directory
Server
7.1 SP3evaluation.  I have followed all the instructions, including SSL and 
certificate setup.  When I try to create a synchronization agreement, I fill 
out Windows Sync Server Info form and click Next, and a Warning window pops 
up with the message, "Unable to contact Active Directory server,
continue?"
There are two buttons, Yes and No.  So far, I haven''t clicked the Yes 
button, because I don''t think synchronization will work if the
Directory
Server can''t contact the Active Directory server.

I can ping the Active Directory server by its host name and by its fully 
qualified domain name.  What else should I be looking at?  Thanks.   -Glenn.

What is the full DN that you are using to BIND to AD?  It''s usually 
something like
cn=Administrator,cn=Users,dc=yourdomain,dc=tld e.g.
cn=Administrator,cn=Users,dc=redhat,dc=com

Try the ldapsearch command line like this:
/usr/bin/ldapsearch -x -h ADhost -D 
"cn=Administrator,cn=Users,dc=yourdomain,dc=tld" -W -s base -b

Thanks, Richard, you are correct -- I was not using the proper syntax for 
the "Bind as" person.  Onward into the fog . . . .   -G.
