Useful Tools to Debug Issues with Active Directory or Other LDAP Servers¶

The following tools are useful to debug issues related to the authentication of users with Active Directory or other LDAP servers:

• Microsoft Active Directory Explorer (Windows Sysinternals Active Directory Explorer) is an advanced Active Directory (AD) viewer and editor. You can use AD Explorer to easily navigate an AD database, define favorite locations, view object properties and attributes without having to open dialog boxes, edit permissions, view an object’s schema, and execute sophisticated searches that you can save and re-execute. This tool can help you debug problems you may run into when setting-up the Kerberos authentication.

• JXplorer is a cross platform LDAP browser and editor. It is a general-purpose LDAP client that can be used to search, read and edit any standard LDAP directory.
