BRU – can’t login with Tiger

[curtisf]

Help….. I just got my brand new firewire tape library in and have it connected to a brand new G5 Xserve. I installed BRU on the server – but it will not accept any user/password combo to launch the apps. I thought it may be something on this server, but I’ve replicated the problem on 3 other systems. The only constant seems to be 10.4 Tried changing permissions, but that didn’t work.

Anyone have any clues????

They haven’t made this fix extremely public. In order to find it you had to go to the downloads link and dig a little. Here it is for your convenience.

BRU Server 1.1.5 Authentication Fails under Tiger

Because of a change in the manner in which the authentication process
works in Tiger versus previous OS X releases, you will need to create a
file in the /etc directory to allow the Agent Control Tool to
authenticate properly. To do this, follow these steps:

Open a Terminal
sudo touch /etc/brutab

This is addressed in the pending 1.2.0 release.

The BRU Server Config Tool suffers from a different issue when starting
the server daemon. While you may use the Server Config Tool for all
other control operations, starting the daemon from the GUI will result
in the GUI hanging and the spinning beach ball of death appearing.
Until the pending 1.2.0 version ships, we recommend that you stop and
start the server daemon from the command line as outlined in the
Installation and Quickstart Guide.

Thanks,

I just received the same info from tech support. Also, after I posted, I was digging and found the Tiger updater for the LE version. Installing this worked.

Thanks again
