Problem wth AFP in golden triangle…

[wiitho]

Hello!

I have touble getting my clients connecting to my OS 10.4.7 server using AFP.
I have tried setting up an automount but it wont work. I have tried using ? K and disovered that this does not work either. I canged it to smb:// and it immediatly worked.

I can find a way to use smb for automounts from workgroup manager, so I need to fix my afp problem..
Both domain and local admins can connect via afp, but none of my clients, so it looks like a permissions problem.
However I cant find anything wrong with my permissions…

Does anyone know how to fix this?
Maybe I have overlooked something obvious?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Also check the groups permissions on the shares and the membership.
One of the strangest things I’ve run aground of since upgrading our servers and OD master to 10.4.7 is that accounts that were migrated from netinfomanager (10.2) lack a generated uid field (you can see this in the Inspector tab in WGM). When I upgraded the OD master I was prompted to ‘upgrade legacy groups’ — I seriously wish I had not done this, because the action has caused a number of weird results for the older accounts that lack the generated uid. Best solution is to remove and restore the account.
Another thing you can check is the path to the home directory. I have to manually edit the values for the NFSHomeDirectory attribute such that it reads /Users/Home/$USER rather than /Network/Servers/$SERVERNAME/Volumes/$PATH/$USER. The client’s automounter seems to require this.
Hope this helps. 🙂

Thank you very much 🙂

Switched to standard and it worked fine. Kerberos also worked fine.
“Any” did not..
You saved my day 🙂
