OD replication failure – diradmin password rejected?!?

[Anonymous]

OK, I’ve been combing the forums here reading up on all directory replication issues. Looks like a lot of folks are having problems… but not the same one I’m seeing. I’ve got 2 servers… one master, the other (supposedly) a replica. When I try to get the replication to happen it almost immediately bombs out with the following error in the slapdconfig log:

2006-01-24 09:58:45 -0800 – command: ssh root@192.168.1.250 /usr/sbin/slapconfig -checkmaster diradmin 0 3 3
2006-01-24 09:58:48 -0800 – ssh command failed with status 77
2006-01-24 09:58:48 -0800 – Error: Incorrect username or password. You must enter a directory domain administrator username and password

I know the password I’m providing is correct as I can connect using WGM to the master directory. I’ve even tried changing it as well as creating a new admin user and trying that user/password instead. Root ssh connection to the master server succeeds. I suspect that I’m just overlooking something very simple. Suggestions?

I can’t find any failures on the Master side in the typical places (/var/log/system.log, /var/log/secure.log, /Library/Logs/PasswordService, /Library/Logs/DirectoryService). The only thing that even looks close is in /var/log/slapd.log:

Jan 24 13:46:18 xserve slapd[59]: connection_read(129): no connection!

Which happens to be at exactly the same time as when I issued the command on the replica:

2006-01-24 13:46:18 -0800 – slapconfig -createreplica
2006-01-24 13:46:18 -0800 – command: ssh root@192.168.1.250 /usr/sbin/slapconfig -checkmaster diradmin 0 3 3
2006-01-24 13:46:21 -0800 – ssh command failed with status 77
2006-01-24 13:46:21 -0800 – Error: Incorrect username or password. You must enter a directory domain administrator username and password.

Additionally, I’ve tried running the slapconfig -checkmaster command on the master from the command line. It fails as well:

xserve:/var/log admin$ sudo /usr/sbin/slapconfig -checkmaster diradmin 0 3 3
Password:
diradmin’s Password:
Error: Incorrect username or password. You must enter a directory domain administrator username and password.

Other suggestions?

Thanks for your reply, I’ve tried changing the password, no luck. I’m certain that I’m entering it correctly.

I checked the man page on slapconfig but was not able to find any information on the -checkmaster flag. Do you have an example of the correct syntax please?
