Active Directory plugin case sensitivity.




win 2000 server running dns, and dhcp. mac os x server 10.4.1 using static ip with forward and reverse records set up on win dns, mac os x client 10.4.1 using dhcp. user profile in AD set to point to the user home directory on the mac server.



problem: cannot use afp share point for home directories.
results: login window dispalys error message that cannot log in because the home directory is on an afp, smb share point.
comments: switching the AD plugin to use the smb protocol works.
resolution: modify the home directory path in AD so that it matches the case on the afp server. ie, \\<macserver>\users \<username> works for smb, but not for afp connections in Directory Services. when i modify it to \\<macserver>\Users\<username> it works.


hope this helps someone.
