    Workgroup Manager cannot connect to Server, error -14351

    Server: OS X Tiger Server 10.4.5
    Client: OS X Tiger 10.4.6

    If I run WGM on the server itself, via VNC, it works fine.
    But-
    The client copy I was running on my G5, which is a direct rsync’d copy of the one from the server (I even went and copied it across again just to be sure), suddenly today lost the ability to connect to the server – that is, I presume, to connect to servermgrd on the server ?

    What the hell is going on ????? It was working this morning!!!!!! And I have changed NOTHING!!!!!

    Anyway, what happens is that the ‘Workgroup Manager Connect’ box goes grey, hangs for quite a while, then quits with “Unexpected error. An error of type -14351 occurred.”
    Looking up this error shed no light whatsoever, I couldn’t even find an adequate definition of it.
    The logs have been equally useless so far.

    So far I have tried, and obviously none of these actually worked:
    restarting servermgrd
    running slapindex
    re-entering diradmin’s password into OD

    I am reluctant to try upgrading the server from 10.4.5 as I’m told both 10.4.6 and 10.4.7 have some severe and nasty problems.

    Some new info:

    -14351 Error occured when receiving data from a remote server.

    Obtained from:

    http://devworld.apple.com/documentation/Networking/Reference/Open_Directory_Ref/Reference/reference.html

    -which would tend to suggest an OD problem, but where to look ???

    Ok its back.

    10.4.7 Client, 10.4.7 Server.

    Workgroup Manager client just wont connect to the server anymore, hangs with a grey Workgroup Manager Connect window, same as before, same eventual error message.

    In /Library/Logs/PasswordService/ApplePasswordServer.Server.log
    Oct 24 2006 12:31:09 AUTH2: {0x449b78843e9d94a70000000200000002, diradmin} DIGEST-MD5 authentication succeeded.
    Oct 24 2006 12:31:09 QUIT: {0x449b78843e9d94a70000000200000002, diradmin} disconnected.

    Ie. the disconnect message appears immediately.

    Nothing in .Error.log

    I’ve tried:

    Killing and respawning both PasswordService and servermgrd on the server.
    Reinstalling the Admin Tools on the client.
    Blowing away all preferences and caches on the client and rebooting.

    Nothing works.

    I seriously doubt anyone knows what causes this but I thought I’d better mention it.

    The last time it appeared it just went away as mysteriously as it had come, possibly after a server reboot (can’t recall).
