[ZendTo] Question on moving from 4.x to 5.x

[Duncan, Brian M.]

Hello, just want to first say, the install script makes installing Zendto on a new CentOS 7.x build much easier then I recall when I first setup Zendto years ago!

We are running Zendto 4.11 and need to upgrade to the current version.  So my plan is to hot-cut over to a new Zendto server after it is built and I can get them to create new documentation because I am guessing there will be new features and the look might be a little different than what they are used to right now with the 4.11 server.

So I have my new server up and running with Zendto 5.x installed on it.  I can access the page and attempt to login but get an Authentication Error - The username or password was incorrect on 1 out of 2 AD accounts that I am trying to login with.

Has anything changed between 4.11 to 5.x that would cause me an issue?

I had modified the default preferences.php for the 5.x server and included my AD authenticator piece identically from my currently working 4.11 server.

I have remarked out the FIRST occurrence of 'authenticator': (which I also have remarked out on our working 4.11 zendto box)

  // See the commands in /opt/zendto/bin and the ChangeLog to use this.
//  'authenticator' => 'local',

I have specified in preferences.php

  'authMultiAuthenticators' => array('AD', 'Local'),

I don't know if that matters, I have no local users setup currently.  That is not a directive in 4.11.

And I confirmed from this server I can connect to TCP port 389 on both 10.10.10.22 and 10.10.10.23 which are both the same DC's I use with our 4.11 server.

At this point I have 2 different AD user names that both login without issue on the 4.11 server.  Only one of those logs in on the 5.x server without issue.

The one I am not able to login with has a complex passcode, are there any limits to what passcode characters are parsed?  The passcode is working fine for this AD account on the 4.11 server.  The password has a "!" in it.

I had asked an associate to test it for me, and he also was able to login, but does NOT have an ! in his password, so I am wondering if that is the issue.

Thanks for any assistance.
