replica problems

[merdrum21]

I recently installed a 10.3.7 replica. I have directory access setup on all clients for the master. I created a sharepoint on the replica for certain home folders. The problem is when I go to network mount in WGM there is a lock and the master password does not work. How can I unlock it or can I change the network mounts on replicas?

I tried killing the replica, (making standalone server) then fixing the automount then making it a replica again. When I put the replica info directly into direcotry access on the client the home folders still won’t mount. Any ideas? The home folders work fine from the master but an xraid is attached to the replica that I would like to use as a second device for home folders. My only option now is to make the replica another master and have students in a specific lab only use this server.

When I click on the lock to authenticate to create the automount it does not accept my master ldap password on the replica, Is the replica server password different? the password works fine on the master ldap server. Is there a way to reset the replica ldap password?
thanks joel

I have to check that. I tried the users section initially and it didn’t work but then went to the sharing one. I didn’t realize they both require authentication I tried the root account and it didn’t work in both users/sharing section. I’ll try again with the admin shortname.
thanks

For some reason shortname didn’t work either. I chose standalone server and replica again and then restarted. I was able to authenticate then. I read the article on automounts and clearing the private/network/servers folder helped alot in getting home folders working. thank you all.
