    Dear Friends,

    We use the Active Directory plug-in to connect to a Windows Directory server from our 10.5 systems. This works well but one user can not log-in and is given a vague message to contact the system administrator.

    Here’s what I want to know, where does the AD plug-in or subsystems keep access and error logs? I have looked and can’t find them. I hope they will shed some light on things. Thanks!

    All logs are stored in /Library/Logs/DirectoryService

    For verbose logging restart DirectoryService:
    [code]sudo killall -USR1 DirectoryService[/code]
    and look at what is happening.
    However I’d start with checking your network time services. AD uses Kerberos – 5 minute difference in time max.

    You can also see if the AD plugin is active or if the user is found (or any domain user):
    [code]dsconfigad -show[/code]
    [code]id DOMAIN\\username[/code]
