Windows(2k) Client can’t authenticate on 10.2

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I imported a ASIP 6.3.3 XML file for our 100 users. Mac clients can log in but win2k clients cannot. I read something about password servers but it isn’t clear to me. Any thoughts?

Password server is needed for windows users to connect due to the authentication protocols used by windoze clients. Server Directory has to be setup with Directory Assistant option “provide passwords to other systems” (or sim).

There are command line options for password server control.

The user must also have Password server set as their password type, you will have to type in their password when chaning from basic to PS for each user.

Windows Services must be on, do this in Server Settings app (Admin Tools needed if you are on OS X client – software is on the server however).

Only the admin user who is logged in when starting the PS is able to change user’s passwords to PS. There are command line options to change or reset the admin user for PS. I don’t have them on me at the moment, but search the User forums at Apple on Password Server.

regards
