I'm trying to add an RDM connection profile with domain authentication and the test connection fails with error:
DVLS server is not responding.
Unexpected exception

Here is the error report:

Hello,

Thank you for the diagnostic report.

Does the account set in the Administration credentials field of the Domain tab has full read permission on your AD structure?
This account can be a domain administrator account or a service account that has full read permission on the entire AD structure.

yes and it shows connection successful when I click the validate button in the administration credentials. I have tried both regular user and domain admin.

Hello,

Have you tried the web interface if you are able to connect? If it still doesn't work, do you get the same error message in the DVLS logs?

Which username format are you using to connect with RDM?

Best regards,

It turns out that I was able to recreate the user account with auth type domain and it's working now. The error message "DVLS server is not responding" was misleading. Thanks for your help!
