Attempting to utilise this plug-in v1.17 with Hudson 1.381 on Solaris I cannot get it to authenticate with the corporate Active Directory.

It collects all the domain controllers correctly, tries each one and every time I find this error;

Root exception is javax.naming.CommunicationException: DomainDnsZones.<company intranet>.com:389 [Root exception is java.net.UnknownHostException: DomainDnsZones.<company intranet>.com]]

Does it need to check this? Could it merely ignore the return value as is done here;

They say they solved it by changing they're code thus :-

In case someone got stuck I found the solution

ldapTemplate.setIgnorePartialResultException(true) ;
or
<bean id="ldapTemplate" class="org.springframework.ldap.core.LdapTemplate" >
<property name="ignorePartialResultException" value="true"></property>
<constructor-arg ref="contextSource" />
</bean>
