Re: OD clients binding problem



How do you do this? I just went to workgroup manager and created a new computer list and added a client to it. Then i went to preferences and added a printer (listed in OD) to the list and clicked save. I rebooted the client but when i log onto the client the printer is not listed there... I also tried to add an additional program (such as the terminal) to the users dock but it doesn't show up neither.

I don’t believe so.  We have dock items assigned to them without any problems

But i was under the impression that you need to establish such a trusted binding to manage computers in the computer list, e.g. to assign printers to them?

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
