Re: Password Server Crash when creating new user in WGM

Hi Tim,

On Tiger, the only fix I found was to re-apply the Combo update to the server. Following that I had no errors unless I demoted and then re-promoted my server from and to an OD Master.

Cheers,

Passwordserver also crashes for me with a similar WGM error message when i
have ANY password type unchecked. (10.4.11 server)

Thanks for your response.

I have tried re-kerberizing the server as per the instructions I found
here:

http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5917575#5917575

All went smoothly and changeip -checkhostname states that nothing needs
changing as the names match.

I went into WGM, created a user and the same error message appears.

I'm off to re-build the server from scratch and see how it goes.

I have tried a few more things now and found that I can replicate the
problem without fail as follows:

1. Setup DNS with: od1.domainname.internal
2. Promote to OD Master with Realm: DOMAINNAME.INTERNAL and search base
dc=domainname,dc=internal
3. Restart server
4. Open WGM and create a new user - no issues.
5. Go into Server Admin.app and from the Policy/Authentication tab,
untick both WebDAV-Digest and APOP
6. Open WGM and create a new user - Password Service crashes

Through trial and error I have found that if either WebDAV-Digest or APOP
Recoverable Authentication Methods are ticked, I have no errors. If I
untick both of them, the generation of a new user account causes the
Password Service to crash with the following error:

Mar 11 10:35:01 od1 ReportCrash[1459]: invalid frame pointer: 0x33333538

Is anyone else able to replicate this error?
