can’t log into Netinfo?

[influx]

(OSX Server 10.2.4)

For some reason, I can’t authenticate against my root domain in Netinfo. I have 3 users set up who have priveleges to manage the domain, yet Netinfo just returns incorrect username or password. Does anyone have any ideas?

I didn’t see this sooner, you probably reformatted the server by now or something but this might benefit someone else…

I have had this problem crop up on a couple of servers I’ve set up. It turned out that the NetInfo database was corrupted. There is a tech article on Apple’s support site that details how to restore from a backup. If you don’t manually backup your NetInfo databases they’re probably screwed anyway since the automatic backup writes over the last at 3:15AM…even if the database is damaged.
