Re: admin account login problem

I didn't mean the firewall -- in server manager you could have the access settings for the login window restricted to the "staff" group for example which would exclude administrators from logging in, at least with the default group memberships.

do you have any service access restrictions on those two servers in server manager? 

Good thought but...

I would see this as a possibility if there were problems logging in with an OD account not the local admin account. By default all traffic from the server to itself is allowed.

That said, just to be sure, I stopped the firewall on one of the affected machines and still couldn't log in with the admin account.

Hello,

I have a problem that I can't figure out.

Background:

I have 6 machines that are part of a small Xsan cluster. Server 1 is the master MDC, Server 2 is the failover MDC and the master OpenDirectory Server for the cluster. Servers 4 through 6 are simply clients. All are running OS X Server 10.4.10. OD logins seem to be working correctly on all the machines.

At some point, after I set up the OD master, I discovered that I could no longer login on the login screen via ARD as the admin user on servers 1 and 2. I can log in as a non-privileged Open Directory user with no problem. The same is true if I try to ssh in as admin.

On servers 4-6 (the clients) I have no problems logging in as admin.

I know the password for the admin is good because that is the password that ARD is using to make the connection to the machine and I can use it to administer other things (e.g., Workgroup Manager). I can also su to the admin user with it after I get logged in.

I have checked the Directory Access settings on all the machines and they appear the same.

I tried changing the admin account password on one of the affected machines and it did not make any difference.

Am I missing something trivial here? Can anyone offer me a clue?

Thanks in advance.
