uxconsole -register Fails

Valid on UNIX

Symptom:

When I run uxconsole -register to register a UNAB endpoint, the following error message appears:

No server can be used as a DC for communicating with Active Directory.
Please check the lookup_dc_list and ignore_dc_list tokens in the [ad] section.

Solution:

When uxconsole registers the UNAB endpoint in Active Directory, the Active Directory site that is closest to the physical location of the endpoint is discovered. However, the ignore_dc_list configuration setting in the ad section of the uxauth.ini file lists domain controllers that the UNAB endpoint does not communicate with. If all domain controllers from the discovered Active Directory site are listed in the ignore_dc_list configuration setting, registration fails.

To fix this problem, delete the names of any domain controllers in the discovered Active Directory site from the ignore_dc_list configuration setting and rerun the uxconsole utility.

Note: The uxconsole utility writes the name of the discovered Active Directory site to the ad_site configuration setting in the ad section of the uxauth.ini file. For more information about UNAB Active Directory site support, see the Implementation Guide.
