Bind 10.8 iMac to 10.5 Open Directory

Thanks Don! I will check the log file and see what error I get. I was able to get a 10.7 Mac to bind correctly.

Don, I kept checking the settings, removing the Directory Service and rebooting and bind again. I ended up creating another local user so the list of users would show up at the login screen as admin and another user. I even created a group. Unchecked allow network users to login, and renable it, selected user from the list (it was seeing the OD users and groups) then I rebooted, and as I waited at the login screen, "Other showed up after a minute and I could login as a OD user. Very odd. Rebooted again and it still took a minute for "Other" to show up but it works.

Thanks for your help!

Don,

The 10.8 Integration instructions shows that once it binds, it should give you the "other" next to the admin login. I never saw it. So I kept trying different setups or login's. Usually, the login screen will have the security disclaimer with our logo, but with 10.7 Mac, the disclaimer was there, but the login screen was different but I can fix that. 10.8 Mac never showed the disclaimer, it only showed "Other" after a few minutes.

With the Workgroup Manager, once the 10.8 was binded, I could say allow network users to login or select a group or individual users. But at the login screen the only thing that showed up was the admin account.

Still trying to figure out the reason. Maybe update the server to 10.6 and see if that helps.

Don,

I added the workstation to manage the preferences and added the ethernet ID and hardware ID in the WGM. It took a while and a few reboots but it finally showed the security screen with the network login. But, sometimes it shows no network login avaliable and then it appears. Thanks for you help.
