Has anyone encounter this "unable to set node credentials for /LDAPv3"?

Install and updated the Macmini server to 10.6.5. It working fine until try to access the Server Preferences and error message "unable to set node credentials for /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 with the record name **." Looking at the logs and has servermgr_accounts got error 5203 trying to auth to local LDAP node. Has anyone found solution for this problem?
Thanks
Luis

Thank you for responding. This is what we are using in a small company a Cisco Switcher, and don't have a router.
If you're getting connections off of the network out to the Internet, then yes, there is a router involved. Somewhere.
MacMini server I have an IP address of 169.254.xxx.xx, before IP address was 192.254.xxx.xx.
That IP address implies that the box isn't getting an IP address from a DHCP server; that's the self-assigned block. (Officially, these addresses are in the Automatic Private Address Configuration Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) IANA reserved range.)
Which implies that at least two problems lurk.
Mac OS X Server must have a static IP address. Not DHCP-assigned dynamic addresses.
And a DHCP server isn't answering the IP address requests. (Well, not unless the DHCP server is passing out addresses in the self-assigned block, and that wouldn't likely be considered best-practice. More likely an IP address from a DHCP address pool allocated within a subnet somewhere in the 10.0.0.0/8 or 172.16.0.0/12 or (less desirably) 192.168.0.0/16 private blocks.
The Firewall is not turned on. Its purpose is for guest to access files, without deleting or modifying it.
When you're debugging problems, simplify. Divide the problem. With network services, test the lowest levels of the stack. Then work your way up the stack; toward higher-level services and mechanisms. Then add more parts and pieces, and DHCP and related.
IP hosts operating at 169.254.0.0/16 addresses (for longer than it takes to get an IP address from DHCP) usually implies that the network configuration is invalid or the DHCP server is not working.
I did not expect that Open Directory would be a big problem.
If DNS services or IP routing is misconfigured, then the whole rest of the stack will be unstable at best. The configuration order (and debugging order) involves functional IP networking and hardware, first and foremost. Then having functional DNS. Then Open Directory and then Kerberos. Then the rest of the stack.

  • Unable to set node credentials for /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 with record name n`.

    When starting Server Preferences, I receive a window with the following text:Unable to set node credentials for /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 with record name n`. There may be an error with the Open Directory Service.
    This started to occur after I used the command changeip to change the ip of the service.
    I've tried (Re)starting Open Directory Service, but that doesn't resolve it.
    Does anyone know how I can resolve this error? I'd like to be able to user Server Preferences again!

    One of our servers (10.6.8)  that had been running for months suddenly started generating that error message when trying to access Server Preferences.  Workgroup Manager, which seems to use the same login information, accessed just fine. We tried deleting access information in Keychain, to no avail. What finally worked for US was:
    - Via Server Admin, (in Open Directory > Settings > General) change the Role: Open Directory from Master to Standalone
    - This (for us) then restored access to Server Prefs
    - Use Server Admin to change the Role back to Master
    Warnings - 1)  backup first  2) you will have to reinstall the master password, and  3) ALL accounts were lost and had to be recreated.

  • Unable to set node credentials for /LDAPv3 query

    Hi,
    I've seen a number of threads on here about the above message, but most are answered/archived, so no replies are allowed.
    I managed to set up the Mac Mini server and get a VPN up and running quite successfully, however the upload speed was incredibly slow (especially given what the ISP advertises). I thought bypassing my airport extreme may help this, so I attempted to plug directly into the modem (which is a router in itself, but pretty limited). I have 5 static public IP's from my ISP, so I configured the Mac Mini to have one which I knew wasn't being used. Connection to internet all worked, but this message began appearing when I tried to go into Server Preferences (to change VPN settings)
    I've read that this message often occurs in relation to static IPs, or rather the lack of. Given that I had assigned the Mac Mini to one of the static IP's, I'm not certain what the problem might have been.
    Plugging the server back into the Airport Extreme, and reconfiguring the network settings for the router setup fixed the issue, and I was able to access Server Prefs again.
    My knowledge in this area isn't all that vast, so I'm sort of learning as I go, so please be as plain and simple as you can - thanks a lot!

  • Unable to set node credentials...

    I have setup the server as an OD master, and up until now it hasn't had problems binding, although I haven't been able to get any users to authenticate for any services, other than my local admin account.
    I haven't made any changes, but now when opening ServerPrefs, I get the following error:
    "Unable to set node credentials for /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 with the record name server.mydomain.com$ There may be a problem with the Open Directory service."
    Any ideas where I went wrong?

    It isn't something that a patch is going to cure.
    I believe it does have something to do with the network and probably therefore the ip address / naming as the authentication does seem to be tied to the network location.
    I've managed to move things on a little in that I have bound user accounts on other machines such that when someone logs onto their laptop it will tell them they have an account on the server and provide a logon after which their account is bound and (I think) marked as 'managed' in their Preferences | Accounts. This provides additional sections in iCal and Address Book although these don't work. The only person who can log into the web stuff such as the wiki is the server admin and I still can't access the Server Preferences or authenticate the Server Admin so can't make much in the way of changes.
    I've submitted my application to Apple for support using the card provided with the Mac Mini. This was last Thursday and I've not yet received confirmation that this is live. As soon as it is I'll be having a long conversation with Apple Support.
    I sort of sympathise with Apple as the server is clearly at least an order of magnitude more complicated than the admin involved with just a desktop. Having said this, however, they do need to get this sort of thing sorted by making it slicker, providing more online support for these problems if they have any aspirations towards the smaller office or even home environment which don't have dedicated IT support staff.

    Hi Eric,
    The message seems to totally disappear. It is going to an AOL customer in UK. I changed their address to start with a lowercase letter & the message was returned to me by AOL as undeliverable, I then changed the first letter of the address beck to upper case, the same I have been using for years, but again it disappeared.
    I appreciate any help you can give me. Tks Gord.

    Hi Captain,
    Don't panic, it's just the preview cache. Find your catalog on the hard drive - usually in the Pictures folder called Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat by default. You'll see a *Previews.lrdata folder there. Rename it and restart LR.
    LR will have to rebuild previews, but then everything should be ok. You can let LR rebuild the previews as you need them, or you can select them in Grid view and go to Library menu > Previews > Render Standard Sized previews.
    Once you're happy that everything's rebuilt, you can delete the one you previously renamed.
    Cheers!
