Issues connecting with Microsoft Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM)
Error: "Could not start the RCM 6.6 build 207 (Secure Directory) service on local computer. Error 1067: The Process terminated unexpectedly."
Xudad error when starting from command line:
C:\Program Files\RSA Security\RSA_CM\Xudad\bin>xudad -console -d 9 -q ...\ssl\certs\ssl.cert -x ....\ssl\private\ssl.key -f ..\conf\xudad.conf -p 389 -z 636
Running as a console application.
Database plugin dll initialization failed.
C:\Program Files\RSA Security\RSA_CM\Xudad\bin>
Resolution
database plugin "c:\program files\rsa security\RSA_cm\xudad\plugin\ldap\plugin.dll" plugin-conf "c:\program files\rsa security\RSA_cm\xudad\plugin\ldap\plugin.conf""
The quotes should be the same as others used in config file.
Verify the RCM can communicate with the ADAM instance. Any network or DNS issues can cause this problem.
