Sorry it’s taken so long to reply.

I have already replicated the problem on a vanilla OD structure with just one user set up.

The server runs sweet without the VPN service enabled as it seems to be the VPN service that causes all authentication to fail.

It is impossible for me to seperate the VPN and OD as I only have only one available server. My test server does not belong to me.

I have now taken the VPN service away from the server and handed it over to a dedicated ‘box’ and all is well, however I am still no nearer to finding out what caused the problem in the first place and that is what is so frustrating.

If anyone else out there has had similar problems to this, then I would like to hear from you.

Thanks

Hi Andrina

Thanks for your reply to my querie.

I have attempted this with no success. I even went as far as installing a universal 10.4.7 build of server and set up a minimum of settings (DHCP, DNS and a couple of users in the local netinfo database) and the problem is still there. The server has an Xserve RAID card and an Atto SCSI card which I have yet to rule out as the source of the problems but it’s looking like a hardware issue or possibly network related.

I’m going to be doing more testing with different configurations in the next few days and I’ll post my results once I’ve sorted it out.
