Hello,
I have installed an ADAM instance on a member server of an Active Directory
Domain. However, when I try to add a local machine user or a domain user to
the 'Readers' group in ADAM, when I click apply, it gives me an error "A
directory service error has occured" and doesn't allow me to add the
local/domain users. However, I am able to add the ADAM users to the readers
group comfortably. Any idea why this is happening? Your valuable inputs are
apprciated.

Thanks,
Gib

I assume you are trying to use ADSI Edit to do this, right?  I actually
don't use ADSI Edit, just ldp.exe, but I can tell you how to add Windows
principals to ADAM groups that way.  Just edit the member attribute and use
the SID DN syntax.  For example, you can add the Windows built in
Authenticated Users SID to the readers role with:

<SID=S-1-5-11>

You can put any built-in, domain or local machine in and ADAM will
automatically create the appropriate foreign security principal.  AD does
that too, btw.

HTH,

Joe K.

Thanks Joe but I get the same error when I try through ldap too.
I right clicked on Roles and clicked on Modify. In the Edit,
I put Attribute as Member and the values: <SID=S-1-5-11> as you advised but
it gives the following error.
Error:Modify:Operations Error.<1>
Server Error:00002095:SvcErr:DSID-032A08FC,problem 5012(DIR_ERROR),data 61

Error 0x2095 A Directory service error has occured.

Please help me.

Did you try that on the roles container or one of the group objects in the
container like Readers?

Sorry Joe, I did it on Readers group inside the roles container.
I get the same error even if I try adding a domain user account. I am only
able to add ADAM user accounts but not any other domain/machine accounts.

Wht might be the reason? Everything else is fine.

Thanks,
Gib

I'd try to follow Joe Richards' advice then.  I've never seen this behavior
and don't know what to suggest.

Is this ADAM R2 or SP1 or V1.0?

If R2/SP1:

  o Look at the NC head specifically at the wellKnownObjects, verify
that the cn=foreignSecurityPrincipals,<NC DN> entry is there

  o Check to see if the actual FSP container exists.

  o Verify ACL on FSP container

  o Try to add <SID=S-1-1-0>.

ACL should look something like

G:\>dsacls \\sfmxp32\CN=ForeignSecurityPrincipals,CN=addressbook
Access list:
Effective Permissions on this object are:

Sounds like a DNS problem with that workstation.  The firendly-name that you
get from the object picker must be resolved to a SID.  Bad DNS will cause
that to fail.  It could be other things to, but without an error code it's
hard to say.  Try Joe's tip.  If that also fails, it's likely DNS.
