Adding Windows AD Groups to LFDS Groups

Forms Directory Server Version 10
Updated July 2, 2017
asked on May 23, 2017

I am using SSO for Forms Authentication.

To try and simplify things for "Customers IT" I have added all users to AD Groups based on roles.

I have added the AD Groups to LFDS Groups.

The LFDS Groups have been given permissions to Forms.

Users are not syncing with FORMS unless they are explicitly added to the LFDS Group being trusted by Forms vs being in an AD Group which has been added to the  LFDS Group.

Synchronizing AD user in AD group is supported since Forms 10.2 update 1; someone confirmed that Forms 10.2.0.834 against LFDS 10.0.0.270 should work.

But there is a bug in Forms 10.2.1 that LFDS 10.0 is not supported; getting user from LFDS 10.2 (not released yet) works.

Hello Rui,

So does this mean if my client is fully updated, we cannot get the users from the AD group to gain access to the form when their LFDS group is assigned to the form? That is the behavior I'm getting currently with a client. When can we expect this to be fixed? When can we get LFDS 10.2? 

Also does this mean that if my client had forms 10.2.0 and not 10.2.1 it would work?

Hi Lucas,

You are right, Forms 10.2.0 would work but 10.2.1.157 would not. The Forms 10.2.1 update 1 that should fix this issue is expected to be released next week.

Hello Rui,

I have not seen a new release yet for Forms on the support page. Can you get me an update on time frame for this? I have a customer that really wants to get this feature back. Thanks.
