"Record Type Not Mapped" when authenticating to LDAP Server

[Anonymous]

Hey all –
I’m having some issues authenticating to the LDAP directory in my OS X 10.3.4 Server. I can login to the local directory just fine, but when I authenticate to the LDAP directory, it tells me "The record with the type "PresetUsers" is not mapped", followed by the same message for "PresetGroups". Workgroup Manager then kicks me back into the local directory. DNS is up and running on the server.

Can anyone help me with this? It’s driving me crazy!

Thanks,

Mark D

Thanks for the response! I tried both settings (it was on Open Directory Server), and neither of them worked. Any other ideas?

Okay, so amazingly enough, quitting and restarting Workgroup Manager solves this issue. Go figure.

I am having this exact same error. Although quiting Workgroup Manager does not solve my issue. I have also tried going from “Open Directory Server” to “get from server” with no luck. I am completely lost on what to do from here. Please help.

if this issue is occuring after the initial set up or after changeing to an open directory master I would suspect and Issue with the ldp database. I would check the slap.conf log for more info about what happened when the server attempted to be promoted to ODM.

I encountered this when trying to switch to a new IP/OD/LDAP configuration. I was able to clean out everything and start it right back up with slapd tools:

slapconfig -destroyldapserver
slapconfig -createldapmaster admin
slapconfig -enableslapdlog

Now you’ll have a brand spankin new LDAP server.

I had the same problem with a fresh OS X Server.
Activing DNS Server (with out-of-the-box configuration) solved this. 😀

This has happened to my test server out of the blue. I have no idea what started it or how to fix it.

Any clues?

Got it. Following the instructions to change Directory Access fixed the problem. I just didn’t follow along before responding.

Thanks for the help and this great site.
