Step A - Add the Active Directory Server to the SEPM:

  1. Login to the SEPM
  2. Click Admin Servers
  3. Right-click your SEPM's name (top-left)
  4. Click Edit Properties
  5. Click Directory Servers Add
  6. Enter a name to identify your Active Directory server
  7. Select Active Directory next to Server Type
  8. Enter the Active Directory server hostname or IP address
  9. Enter a username and password that the SEPM can use to communicate with the Active Directory server
  10. Click OK. The SEPM will test the Directory Server information which was entered to confirm it works properly.

Step B - Create a new SEPM Administrator account:

  1. Login to the SEPM
  2. Click Admin Administrators Add Administrator
  3. Enter a username for the new administrator account. This will be the username used to login to the SEPM.
  4. Enter a full name for the new administrator account. This is used for informational purposes only.
  5. Leave the Password and Confirm Password fields blank
  6. Click Change
  7. Select Directory Authentication
  8. In Directory Server, select the Active Directory server configured in Step A-6
  9. In Account Name, enter the account name as it appears in Active Directory
  10. Click OK
  11. Click OK

Testing the newly created account:

  1. Logoff the SEPM if logged in
  2. Use the username entered in Step B-3. Usernames are case sensitive.
  3. Use the Active Directory password for the Active Directory account specified in Step B-9.
  4. Leave the Domain field blank. (This field expects a SEPM domain and not an Active Directory domain)
     

WARNING
Do not use the built-in SEPM "admin" account when setting up Active Directory Authentication, doing so can prevent logon access to SEPM with "Authentication Failure" error. Lockout issues can occur when changing the Active Directory account, upgrading Active Directory, changing Active Directory mode, and when removing SEPM(s) as a replication partner.

SEPM Active Directory Authentication is only supported for Admin accounts that have been created in SEPM by clicking "Add Administrator."

NOTE: The SEPM user name is taken from SEPM database while the password is taken from Active Directory for the account you specified in Account Name.

  • Click Directory Servers tab.
  • Click Add.

 

  • Add Directory Server window will pop up.
  • In the General tab type the domain name.
  • For Server Type select Active Directory.
  • In Server IP Address or Name enter IP or Domain Name (For e.g. If Cu's Email address is ABC@symantec.com then try to putsymantec.com in domain name.)
  • Enter domain administrator's username and password.
  • Click OK. (If it is not successful Check Use Secure Connection, which will use LDAP Port 636.  Click OK.)

In case of issues with AD Sync check following logs in C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Tomcat\logs\ADSITask-0.log (for a 64 bit machine the location would be C:\Program Files(x86)\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Tomcat\logs\ADSITask-0.log)

Search for "Error Code" and next few lines for the reason.
