AX can't resolve SID over Trusted Domain's users

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Daniele.Selvi 160

Hello,

I am working on a client which has 2 domains in a trusted relashionship.

I have correctly imported and ad user from the trusted domain(we will call it DOMAIN2) into AX (AX2012 R3 CU12) installed into the other domain(we will call it DOMAIN1).

I can log on to AX correctly using users both from the DOMAIN1 and DOMAIN2 domain but I get errors on some AX tasks:

- for instance when I create an alert rule using a user from DOMAIN1 to be sent to a user In DOMAIN2 i get the following error:

Just to be sure that this was an AD issue, I have run the followin job to list all users of which the SID could not be resolved by AX. The Infolog is showing only the AX users belonging to DOMAIN2:

Any advise on how to resolve this is much appreciated.

Kind Regards,

    Hi Daniele,

    I had faced the same issue at a customer who merged with another company. This was on an AX2012 R2 environment with CU7. We had issues then mainly with users on workflows and accessing the enterprise portal.

    All users needed to be migrated to one main domain anyway. So these users were migrated to solve this. I assumed it was because there was a one-way trust. Do you have a one-way trust or two-way? (not that I know what I'm talking about, but this was a likely cause which was not investigated further). You can also see if a recent kernel can fix this issue.

    If the two-way trust and a recent kernel is not solving you issue, the customer or you can create a case at Microsoft Support.

    They have a two-way trust.

    Then I believe I will have to search a fix and eventually log a case to MS Support for this.

    Thanks

    We have finally resolved this and I believed It would be useful to share our findings:

    We spotted that "randomly" it wasn't possible to import a user from the trusted domain (we have a two-way trust) as well as we were never able to create an alert rule using a user from DOMAIN1 to be sent to a user In DOMAIN2(as per this original question). Bear in mind that EVERYTHING ELSE WAS WORKING OK!

    Although the VPN channel linking the 2 trusted domain was apparently working fine, since my client's subsidiary where I am implementing AX is in Cameroon, we thought the issue could be somehow related to the quality of the Internet Connetion here in West Africa.

    We then researched how we could optimize the packets transmission over "slow internet connections" scenarios amending the MTU at our servers in Cameroon: the default value for the packet size is usually 1500, so we reduced it to 1350 on all our servers and clients using the following command:

    netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "YOUR NETWORK INTERFACE NAME" mtu=1350 store=persistent


    Generally it is logical to assume larget packets are better, because of reduced number of headers transferred each time, less routing decisions, etc..

    however smaller packets might be clearly more "responsive" therefore more suitable for slower connections.

    I hope this helped

    If the issue is to do with slow connections and packet size then there are several network

    acceleration tools  that address this by packet shaping, priority, cacheing etc, see Peribit,/ Juniper as one provider of such solutions.

    However, also ensure that the bottleneck is not on the server e.g. slow disks, wrong RAID and set up, etc or on the local network - old routers etc.

    You can also look at a fibre optic connection just locally between the servers.

    I assume you are using rdp/citrix connection?
