Environment

DLP Versions: 15.7 - 15.8

Cause

The import code uses the NETBIOS-name which is not present in the Global Catalog which causes the import to fail.

Resolution

Workaround: In the Enforce Console change the Directory Connection port from the Active Directory Global Catalog port of 3268 to LDAP port 389 for insecure or 636 for secure connections.
