Q: Can't authenticate diradmin - how to debug?
I've got a Mac mini running ML 10.8 and Server.app 2.2.1 and for several months I've had no problems. Yesterday, I wanted to change a user password and found that I can't seem to authenticate as diradmin anymore. A simple reboot doesn't fix the problem. I suspect this might have broke with the 2.2.1 Server.app update but I don't know for sure.
I've googled high and low and have verified all the easy stuff - DNS is correct, I verified using dscl that the diradmin password is correct; I've actually tried changing the diradmin password but that didn't help.
The only relevant log file entries seem to be these:
servermgr_accounts: got error 5000 trying to auth to local LDAP node
and
opendirectoryd[40]: GSSAPI Error: Miscellaneous failure (see text (Message stream modified)
I've googled those errors and read all the revelant discussions but nothing seems to help me. Any ideas on how to debug this?
Thanks in advance.
Mac mini, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)
