I’ve recently migrated my server from an old G4 to a less old G5. After all of the updates on the G5 and shutting the G4 down, absolutely nothing works. No machine served by the new server can bind to it, other than the server itself. When served machines attempt to bind to the new server, they get a window in Directory Access that states “Invalid Credentials…”. Of course this is absurd, since I can enter the username and password on the server, into either the Workgroup Manager, kadmin, or anything else you can name. Originally I thought it was a problem with the new SSL certificate. But I shut down the SSL on the server and allowed even clear text passwords….Same problem. I rebuilt the kerberos database…Same problem. The only clue is that I can clean everything out on the new werver, by hand. Deleting all of the old config files. Remake the OD Master. Then and only then can a remote machine bind…for about ten minutes. After which the whole thing stops working and you’re back to where you were before, except now you have a remote machine that can lo longer communicate with the LDAP server. Furthermore, kerberos seems to also fail at the same time. After which, attempts to get tickets are met with a response that “…incorrect configuration file…”
You might ask about the notorious DNS issues, but everyone here has a static IP, and all of the hostname stuff checks out.
You might ask about time stamps, but we’re also on a local NTP.
You might ask about differences between the two servers, but even a restore of an archive from the old server onto the new server has the same problem.
I’ve even gone so far as to re-install from scratch. To no avail…
Any suggestions?
