Workgroup Manager problem: -14006 in PMMUGMainView.mm
And then wham. Our (colocated) xServe suddenly starts taking up to 10 minutes to reboot. Why did I have to reboot it? Because whenever I try to add a new user using the Workgroup Manager, the first time I try to connect after a reboot it works fine. I can examine users and do all that sort of stuff. As soon as I try to ADD a user, I get:
Got Unexpected Error
Error of type eDSCannotAccessSession (-14006) on line 1157 of /SourceCache/ServerManagerApp/ServerManagerApp-230/PMMUGMainView.mm
Then after that I can't do anything else. If I disconnect and try to reconnect I can't. I can't even connect using Server Admin any more. I can connect via ssh, but it takes ages, which makes me think that it's trying OpenDirectory, failing, and then defaulting back to the local authentication mode. And then I restart the machine and it all starts over again.
This is really frustrating. Really really. We would really like to make Mac OS X Server a supported configuration (and set up a couple of our servers using it) but if this is going to happen often, we can't use it, nor recommend it.
