Unable to setup Replica: Incorrect directory domain administrator username or password

[mledford]

When attempting to setup an OD replica I get the following…

2007-09-30 18:40:10 -0400 – slapconfig -createreplica
2007-09-30 18:40:21 -0400 – command: ssh root@server.domain.com /usr/sbin/slapconfig -checkmaster diradmin 0 3 3
2007-09-30 18:40:24 -0400 – ssh command failed with status 77
2007-09-30 18:40:24 -0400 – Error: Incorrect username or password. You must enter a directory domain administrator username and password.
(error = 77)

I’ve seen other people talk about this here but no resolutions so I thought I would bring it up once again let’s hope I can get some resolution.

I have set the root password on the OD master and have confirmed that I can login. I have tried to run the slapconfig command manually and it fails as well. I can login using the OD admin’s short name ‘diradmin’ and password using Workgroup Manager. I do have the OS master setup for SSL. I’m just confused as to what is happening and would really like to set up this replica. I’ve seen some people decommision their OS Master server and that scares me. I have looked at logs on the OD Master and I don’t see any errors or even any attempts to authenticate.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I would have posted more logs or information but at this point I just don’t know what information to include.

Sincerely,
Michael

I have also attempted to update the rootdn and rootpw that sits in slapd_macosxserver.conf in hopes that it would connect using the values I placed in there of course killing the existing slapd to have it start a new server process… did not work. Then again, I couldn’t get in via Workgroup Manager using the rootdn user either. In any case it almost appears that slapdconfig is not connecting properly to perform the authentication.

I also search the darwin repository hoping that slapdconfig would be there so I could examine the code… but I have not found it. Unfortunately this appears to be one of those Apple specific tools that they keep hidden from the open source community which could really use being open sourced.
