How to fix an Active Directory problem when running Password Policy manager?

The error message is showing because the authentication has no domain control. To exterminate authentication delay change the message level security and use a username “clientCredentialType”:

And set a value “Ntlm” into the “clientCredentialType”, and set the security mode as “Transport”. The code has to be exactly like this:

<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="Ntlm"/>
</security>

The “NTLM” function handles the “credentials” of a “security principal”. The “Initial Security context” and “Accept Security Context” must be performed by the “credential” handler.

Note: whenever the process request does not have access to the” Credentials”, the function will return an error message.

Let me know if its work………enjoy.
