I’m confused. I have installed OSX Server 10.4.3 on a G5 with 2GB of RAM. I’ve enabled AFP, Firewall, NAT, OD, Printer Sharing, and Windows Sharing.
I have a g4 that is properly configured and gives me the green light “Network Accounts Available.” That part is wonderful because my network setup is functioning properly. My lab bought a minimac recently and it for some reason will not show the green light, it will only show the red light “Network Accounts Unavailbe” as if to taunt me. I have copied the configurations from the g4 to the mini so I’m at a loss as to what can be preventing this setup.
Sometimes it will bind to the server and sometimes it will encounter “an unexpected error.” Is there something I’m missing on the server config side of things? Some max connection setting? Is there something I’m missing on the minimac? Clearly, I’ve configured Open Directory properly otherwise the g4 wouldnt work!
Help! Thanks in advance!
So apparently posting to forums really get you thinking. It turned out on the mini, If i didn’t bind the directory, authentication proceeded without any problems. Directory Access for LDAP configuration even says its optional!
So I solved my own problem.
If anyone else has authentication problems, drop directory binding. Its optional!
