[JENKINS-8569] DomainDnsZones UnknownHostException

Nobody has claimed this yet.

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..com:389 [Root exception is java.net.UnknownHostException: DomainDnsZones..com]]

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

http://forum.springsource.org/showthread.php?t=95544

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

In case someone got stuck I found the solution

ldapTemplate.setIgnorePartialResultException(true) ;

• environment: UNIX - Solaris

Start by reproducing the ldap-plugin v1.17 authentication failure with Hudson 1.381 on Solaris against Active Directory, focusing on the DomainDnsZones UnknownHostException. Review how the plugin handles the reported LDAP communication error and compare it with the referenced Spring LDAP ignorePartialResultException behavior. Done means the authentication attempt handles this condition as intended and has coverage for the affected case.
