Q: Open Directory Mac OSx Server You are unable to log into the user account "Name" at this time.
Hi Guys/ Girls
I am having a serious hair pulling moment, and i cant understand what i am doing wrong. I am creating a Test server on my macbook pro, to see if everything works they way i want it too before i go and purchase a mac mini. So Far using Moutain lion server i have managed to setup the basics using a network that can be accased over the internet.
I have setup DNS which works correctly as i have used NSLOOKUP in terminal and get both my host name and IP address when using it. I am trying to get open directory working, however i am running into problems.
So far i have turned on open directory and have created a new open directory domain (Master) and created a network used called "Nick" whos homefolder i have setup in file sharing, creating a new sharepoint on the harddrive in users.
On my RMBP i have binded the mac to the server using beanserver.local. When using DNS that i have setup " server.example.co.uk" it would not work and i would get an error message (Error 2100)
When i try logging in from the mac that has been bound to server, i get a message saying "You are unable to log into the user account "Nick" at this time. I have tried everything, including readinf other Apple forums and i cant see what the issue is. I am very new to Apple server, however this so far has been a pain in the bum.
Any help would be great
Thanks in advanced
Michael
