PDM login fails with Active Directory – anyone else experiencing this? SolidWorks 2026 SP3.2

Hi everyone,

Has anyone run into an issue where clients can't log in to PDM using Active Directory? We're running SolidWorks 2026 SP 3.2, and login fails regardless of the method — neither standard PDM login nor Windows login works.

We've double-checked the usual suspects (AD group membership, PDM database permissions, network connectivity to the archive server etc.), but the issue persists. Curious if this is a known bug in SP 3.2 or if others have found a workaround.

Any insights or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
Georg
