Open Directory Replica Issue
Simple setup - two 10.5.8 Intel XServe systems, fully patched, one is an Open Directory Master serving about 300+ accounts for a school. The other is a like configured 10.5.8 server part of the Open Directory (joined) network and I want it to be a replica of my master.
I think I have determined that the error lies within the launchd process on the master server. I am hypothesizing that the process is not being elevated enough to run the slapconfig utility properly. Why? Don’t know.
*GUI OD REPLICA:*
I try to run the GUI application to promote a system to replica and I am greeted with an 1077 error (which relates to an incorrect Directory Administrator User and Password issue). I have changed my diradmin user and password about 2 dozen times and nothing suffices.
The username/password combo I am employing works from Workgroup Manager just fine (to peruse the db of users and such).
So I dug a lot deeper and found that during the process, I get two SSHD error logs on my master server:
+com.apple.launchd(1) (0×10fa90.sshd[1237]) Could not setup Mach task special port 9: (os/kern) no access+
*COMMAND LINE PROCESS:*
Hmmm…. So I then, from the ‘replica-to-be’ run the command line version for creating the replica:
+slapconfig -createreplica servername diradminname+
and it asks me for my root password and I enter it – it works, then it gets to the part where it wants the Directory Admin password and the -creatreplica process then re-runs the slapconfig process with a -checkmaster and the parameters I just specified (it specifically calls: +ssh root@servername /usr/sbin/slapconfig -checkmaster diradminname 0 4 4+) and it fails with a:
+Error: Incorrect username or password. You must enter a directory administrator username and password. (error=77)+
But the combination I am using, does work.
Any ideas?
I cannot get my 2nd 10.5.8 box to become a replica.
