So you’re changing the passwords on something other than the system with the mobile accounts?

Did not seem to matter where I changed the password. I tried both from the change password menu in Leopard as well as directly on the KDC using kadmin.

However, I figured out the problem. I was just picking a random 6 digit number for the “generatedUid” LDAP field. After reading the Apple Developer documentation, I found out the generatedUid field has to be a character string similar to:

45677CF3-5438-17F9-E8A3-03006572DDC1

in format. I’m not sure how Apple comes up with this number.

As soon as I entered a correctly formatted generatedUid ( even though it is still a bunch of random characters I just came up with ) and recreated the mobile user account, cached passwords started working and I was able to change passwords and still be able to log on.

Kind of weird but it seems to have fixed the issue
