[Freeipa-users] Active Directory password sync fails with RC 34

[Toby Gale]

Thanks for the help Rich.

Looking at the log I noticed some extra characters in the DN that
corresponds to "Search Base".  I got the Windows admin to share his RDP
session to the DC and had a look at the registry in
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PasswordSync".
I noticed the same characters in the "Search Base" key.  I think the extra
characters were accidentally copy-pasted from the documentation I sent them.

Removing them and restarting the service has resolved the problem.
