New users accounts keep getting disabled at login

Hello,


I am using Mountin Lion 10.8.2 + Server 2.1.0. I have a weird problem, every new Network user account I create keeps getting disabled (acces account is unchecked in the Workgroup manager) at first login on the client. The following can be found in the "Password Service Server Log":


Sep 24 2012 14:37:24 554615us RSAVALIDATE: success.

Sep 24 2012 14:37:24 555908us TestPoliciesForRecord: setting disable reason to 3

Sep 24 2012 14:37:24 851686us TestPoliciesForRecord: {no user} account is disabled.

Sep 24 2012 14:37:24 851728us USER: disable reason is 3

Sep 24 2012 14:37:24 852075us USER: {0xd0d71358063e11e29351c82a145901a8, bratej} is disabled.


I have two accounts that have no problem logging in. I must have changed something after they were created, every setting of the working accounts is the same as of those that keep getting disabled.


In the Workgroup manager -> Account -> Advanced->Options I have the following set:

- Allow the user to log in


In the Server->Open Directory->Global Password Policy

- nothing checked (no policy set)


Any ideas what is going on?

Mac mini, OS X Server

Nearly,


I found that an account created with WGM was not able to log in at all (preset or not). In Server App/Users pane it appears as "Not allowed". But just opening the "Edit Acess to services"-item in the gear and closing it again, will solve that problem.


Today I was actually able to export users from my 10.6 OD and import them - witt the above mentioned workaround and reset passwords - Voila!


But this is of cause not a part of Apples documentation....

The last days I found that the "Not Allowed" mark can be removed by choosing "Edit Acess to services..." for the user(s) in question and do a change back and forth here. That will allow them.


Sometimes editing, deleting, creating, resetting passwords ect. causes Server.app to crash or stall. Horrible beta (shame on Apple, who encourages us to make reliable apps following there HIG for the worlds most advanced opetrating system) - I think the best we can do is to keep reporting problems to them via the feedback option.


By the way - I found Passenger useful for import purposes
