FCS + GoldenTriangle login problems

Hello,


I work for a post-production company and we're using FCS integrated in a golden triangle (OpenDirectory + Active Directory). Some of our users aren't authenticated by FCS at login. It says "Invalid username or password".

The odd part is that one user (let say "user_ko") can't log in FCS on a particular MacPro (let say "macpro_ko") but it's working fine on another MacPro(let say "macpro_ok"). Another user (let say "user_ok") can log on every MacPros.

It seems that if i create a new user on AD it can't log in FCS on macPro_ko but can on macpro_ok.


synthesis :

macpro_ko
macpro_ok
user_ok ok ok
user_ko ko ok


ok = can log in FCS

ko = can't log in FCS ("Invalid username or password")


We're using :

- 1 Xserve as open directory master on MacOsX 10.6.7

- 1 DELL server as active directory DC

- 1 XServe as FCSvr on MacOsX 10.6.6, 10.6.7 or 10.6.8

- 6 MacPros as FCS client + FCP + bind to AD/OD on MacOsX 10.6.6


About 50 users are created in AD and are members of an OD group (user_ko and user_ok are members of this group) on which managed preferences are applied. We're applying managed preferences on computers too.


My next move will be to upgrade every macpros to 10.6.8 as macpro_ko is runing 10.6.6...


I can't find any log to report a problem with user user_ko or computer macpro_ko and i've been struggling with this problem for several days. Does anyone have suggestion ?


Thanks for your help !

Marc

Hi Marc,


When you've configured FCSVR to use AD groups, it disables the ability to login as local or OD groups.


Make sure your AD users are in AD groups, and those AD groups are the ones you've added to FCSVR Group Permissions. AD users in OD groups will not work.


This article is the best resource for AD/FCSVR configuration info:
