Cannot log into OpenDirectory server
I am running OSX Server 2.2 on a Mac Mini with 10.8.5. I have successfully enabled Open Directory and created several users that are set up as Services Only, as they do not need home directories, only file sharing and (hopefully in the future) contacts and single sign-on.
I am able to bind my computer to the OD server using the fully qualified domain name (internal.xxxx.org) and get the green "enabled" dot in the Users page on the Mac.
I turned on "Allow Network Users to Log In" and tried to log in as my network user, and it "shakes" when I enter the username and password, and won't log in. What am I doing wrong? I'm unclear how to log in as a network user from my Mac's sign-in screen. I also tried using the administrator's account, which is an actual user account on the server and that did not log in either. It doesn't seem like the Mac is even attempting to check the server for user information.
Thank you.
Mac mini, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
