The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Hello. I am trying to have our Barracuda Spam Firewall 300 verify incoming email addresses against Active Directory using LDAP. I can telnet and login just fine, so I am sure that everything is running correctly. The Barracuda requires the following information:

LDAP Server: 10.0.0.2 (SBS 2003)
LDAP Port: 389 (which I can telnet to)
BIND DN: User (I have created a user within AD that has only Domain User rights; I can telnet fine with this User).
BIND Password: user's password
LDAP Filter: using the default ((|(proxyaddress=smtp:${recipient_email})(mail=${recipient_email}))
LDAP Search Base: default (${defaultNamingContext}
LDAP UID: deafult for AD: sAMAccountName
Valid Email For Testing: my valid email address

When I try to test this I receive the following error:

could not set open file limit to 8192: Operation not permitted
lookup order: fb
listening on localhost/59447
answering client connection request from 127.0.0.1/59448
received from 127.0.0.1/59448: GET user@domain.com
email address: user@domain.com
telling 127.0.0.1/59448: 200 550 DB verification agent failed%3A
received from 127.0.0.1/59448: QUIT
hanging up on client 127.0.0.1/59448
exiting on SIGTERM

I am new to LDAP and have no clue as to where to go from here. I have posted this to the Barracuda forums, but have received no response as of yet.

Thank you.
