+===== Step N+1: Thing's aren't going well =====
+Ok, let's face it: despite following the steps in this guide, thing's aren't working. The Active Directory Administrator isn't working very much (many times he/she is fighting in his/her own wars). And, what else???
+**Use the brute force to diagnose what is happening:** [[http://www.wireshark.org/|Wireshark]] is a packet sniffer: it allows you to see what's happening behind the scenes. The problem I had to face when configuring this stuff was that there were no errors when the thing fails: nothing. No message, no error is in the server log, nothing.
+But //alas!!!// with a packet sniffer you can see the traffic behind and the exact error message returnet.
+If nobody allows you to install a packet sniffer in the production server (a bad idea), you can try to make a testing deployment in your computer and try to find there the correct configuration of the LDAP.
