Q: "Server App: Operation was denied because the current credentials do not have the appropriate privileges."
Server App v 2.2.1, connecting to Mac Mini Server running 10.6.8 using DirAdmin credentials. Trying to create a new user returns:
Operation was denied because the current credentials do not have the appropriate privileges.
Have tried by connecting user other administrator login credentials and no luck.
Have tried a thorough uninstall and reinstall of the server app on the client machine. Also no luck.
Can create users via Workgroup Manager using the same credentials (diradmin, other administrative users).
No errors are showing up in system log, password service log, LDAP, kerberos.... I'm running out of logs to look at.
The server is bound to itself at 127.0.0.1 using diradmin credentials for authentication. DNS service for the server (in System Preferences/Network) points to 127.0.0.1. DNS records on the server are clean - proper NS record for this machine, host lookup and reverse lookup look good and changeip returns "nothing to change". I can connect, authenticate (with diradmin), browse and edit all LDAP directories via Directory Utility.
I've had problems with LDAP on this server recently that I thought had been resolved, but perhaps something is still lurking?
Thanks much for any useful ideas!
