Adding a SPN account for the AX Connector service

You need to use the setspn command to register a SPN for the AX Connector service. This SPN is required for AX Connector to authenticate user accounts with Active Directory.

To run the setspn command:

  1. Open the command prompt on the server where your Active Directory Domain Controller is located.
  2. Switch to the directory where setspn.exe is located if it is not on the Windows path.

    The default location is C:\Program Files\Support Tools.

  3. Enter the setspn command using the following syntax:

    setspn -A ACLSE/full_domain_and_servername computer_name

    ACLSE is the required value to identify the AX Connector and must be entered in allcaps. The computer_name value can be the name or domain\name.

    For example:

    setspn -A ACLSE/axserver.acl.com axserver

  4. Optional. You can verify the mapping of the SPN using the following syntax:

    setspn -L computer_name

    For example:

    setspn -L axserver
