Title: Re: OD clients binding problem

I never ‘bind’ my machines to the directory. Whenever I do, I see the same errors that you are. They can authenticate fine without binding so I just skip it.

Hello,

I'm trying to bind my Mac OS X 10.4.8 client computers to an intel xserve OD (also running 10.4.8). Using directory access I configured LDAPv3 and added a new LDAP server by submitting the name in the first window. On the next window I give the credentials of an OD admin and bind the client to the OD domain. This seems to be successful, no error message occurs and the client is listed in the Workgroup Manager.

But I don't get any information from the OD domain. Using "dscl localhost" in a terminal window I can see the full qualified name of the OD server under /LDAPv3 but if i try to cd into it i get "cd: invalid path".

If i try to do an unbind in Directory Access i get "Could not contact server. Could not contact the LDAP server to unbind. Would you like to forcibly remove this configuration". When I say OK to that I can browse all info with dscl and OD users/groups are visible to the client machine.

I could live with that situation as I mainly need the authentication to work, but I would also like to be able to administer the computers from Workgroup Manager.

I think I must miss something as I just don't believe that this is normal behavior, so do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong or into which direction I need to investigate to get this running?

One last note: All machines also use the AD plugin to connect to a Windows 2003 AD domain but I did some tests without AD integration and it was exactly the same behavior.

Thanks,

Christian
