Re: MAC OS X clients and OpenLDAP



** Low Priority **

Alexei,

I'm actually doing alot of work with OS X right now - 10.3.3 to be
precise.

I've not experienced the issue you are describing.  Does your OS 10
client receive the ldap servers via dhcp, and do you have them
configured in the Directory Manager application properly?

Perhaps one of the authentication mechanisms in OS 10 is timing out and
then it finally reaches the LDAPv3 auth mechanism and you succeed?

I don't use DHCP to deliver the ldap servers, and I have netinfo and
ldapv3 configured as authentication mechanisms in directory manager.  It
definitly seems to be a mac client issue -

Dear List.

I have a strange problem with MAC clients trying to authenticate via
LDAP.
After rebooting MAC it takes some several minutes for the client to be
able
to log in with username and password stored in LDAP.
The MAC client refuses to log in with given username/password but it
works
after a short while.
Sometimes it tries to search for username in LDAP (and it gets results,
I
can see it in LDAP log file) but sometimes it does not even attempt to
connect to the server.
I'm running MAC OS X 10.3 with the latest patches and OpenLDAP 2.2.8 on
Solaris 9.

I understand that it perhaps more MAC-related question, but maybe
someone
faced this problem in the past...

Thanks in advance for any hints.
