Forgive me if this isn't the correct place to post this (I'm not the one setting this up, just posting for my field team).

Our new installation of 8.3 won't authenticate with AD unless anonymous user is allowed and this is using the same AD server as another building on the same campus that does not require this. We have matched all settings in Ignition, the only difference is the other building is 8.1

Any ideas?
