Setting up mavericks server - open directory displays error " server was successfully configured as a directory server but an error occurred" I have tried everything. Can anyone help ?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
Went to the Apple store to get help on this , and they were not able to help... waiting for a reply from an Apple engineer to give help on this issue...
Have you resolved this issue?
Does the server show up in the Server list as (Master)? If so, delete it, make absolutely sure your DNS set up and try again.
Even though I hsve a fully qualified Domain name, SERVER.DOMAIN.COM and my reverse lookup set weith my ISP. if I do a lookup for the IP of my server it returns server.domain.com, found Open Directory was much happier if I used the DNS server on the Server Itselfl
In Server DNS created a Primary Zone for my doman, domain.com. Then a Machine A Record for server,domain.com. It automatically made a nameserer record of server.domain.com and the Reverse Zone and server mapping for reverse lookup. Then set it to perform lookups for this server only. Then set 127.0.0.1 as the First DNS server in System Network Settings before any ISP DNS Servers. Then for good measure also entered my ISPs DNS servers in as forwarding servers. Then setup Open Directory with the correct domain with no errors.
Go to Finder. Click on Go and Go to Folder...
/var/db
Create a folder called openldap and then a subfolder under that called authdata .
Launch this command -
sudo slapconfig -createldapmasterandadmin diradmin "Directory Administrator" 1000
This worked for me.
Just to add to this. I did destroy the OD and recreate it again after having issues authenticating via diradmin. Seems to be running as expected now.
Open directory in mavericks server.
