Still LDAP server not responding when add to authentication search path ...

Howdy All,
I still have an OS X Server 10.5.6 (running Open Directory with its own Master directory) that when configured to connect to a corporate LDAP server indicates the server is responding fine, but when I add the server to the authentication search path, the server is no-longer responding.
I suspect this may mean the LDAP server is choosing to no-longer respond? Is it possible that the LDAP server could have my machine / IP address "black-listed" in some way? I have asked corporate IT but they didn't seem to think so (although I was queried before about repeated connect attempts).
Somewhat strangely I can configure a laptop client (OS X 10.5.6) to connect to the same LDAP server from an Ethernet port on the same LAN and it works fine. However, when I connect this laptop to the LAN through my server (WiFi NAT) I get the same issue as described above.
I don't have the firewall on the server turned on, I have played around with some certificates on the server, but have set "TLS_REQCERT never" in the ldap.conf file on the server (and client) as suggested by corporate IT. I have Kerberos running on the server and all else seems fine on the server.
Can anyone suggest what may be causing this? Or how I can debug the problem?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Ashley.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your post. That said, I'm not sure how you got the impression that I wish to go to Maine I'm happy here in Perth, Western Australia.

You need to provide as much info as you can.
Seriously though, I'm not sure of the difference. I am using Directory Utility to allow this OS X Server to get authentication information from an LDAP server just like an OS X Client would.
I have Open Directory in Server Admin just setup to connect to a directory system (i.e. the organisation LDAP server), not a master or replica.
My final goal is to allow access to an OS X TeamsServer Wiki by users who are authenticated against the LDAP server (rather than having to have separate accounts, logins, on the OSXS.)
I am hoping that I can use a group from the LDAP server to define the team, but perhaps I will have to run a standalone OD. I hope then I can add LDAP users to the OD group.
What other information would help?
Thanks,

  • Why is OD Server not responding when added to authentication search policy?

    Howdy All,
    I'm using Mac OS X Server (10.5.6) to connect to an LDAP server in the organisation (not sure what it is running on). The Mac is not running as a master or mirror just a client.
    When I configure the connection to the LDAP server in Directory Utility it says "This server is responding normally. This server is not in your authentication search policy." That's ok.
    Whowever, when I add the connection to the authentication (or contacts) search policy in Directory Utility is says "This server is not responding."
    What would this specifically indicate? This machine is not allowed to connect? The mapping is incorrect? There is some sort of mismatch between client and server?
    Others have used Macs to connect to this LDAP server. I've followed their specific configuration suggestions. I've also tried turning off/on the firewall, DNS server, etc.
    Thanks for any assistance.
    Cheers,
    Ashley.

  • "Update server not responding" when trying to update Acrobat 9 Pro

    I just installed Acrobat 9 Pro on my desktop computer and on my laptop. I was able to download and install the latest updates to the copy on my desktop computer (so that it is now version 9.3.0), using Help>Check for Updates.
    When I try the same command on my laptop, I get and error message that states "The update server is not responding, which means it may be offline at the moment, or the Internet or firlewall settings may be incorrect. Please try again later." I tried several times yesterday and today with the same error. The message pops up immediatley; it doesn't even seem to actually try to connect.
    I disabled my firewall and antivirus software and still get the same result. I uninstalled then reinstalled Acrobat and still get the same result.
    I looked online at Adobe.com to see about downloading and installing the updates manually, but it's difficult for me to tell which updates I need. Some are for other languages and some are for 64-bit but I have Windows 7 32-bit.
    A call to tech support was no help. The agent seemed to think because I installed verison 9.0 that I only needed the one English update listed on the download page under 9.0, and not any of the later updates. . . And he said that Adobe recommends manually installing updates from Adobe.com rather than using the Check for Updates command (?!).
    Anyway, does anyone know what might be causing this problem with the adobe updater? Maybe I need to reinstall the updater (where do I find it?).
    OR
    Can someone tell me which of the updates listed on the Acrobat dowload page I should manually install to bring my product up to date?
    [Running Windows 7 32-bit on both machines]
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Which version of Acrobat do you have ?
    (Launch Acrobat and Go to Acrobat->About Adobe Acrobat menu item and check the version )
    Also, can you ping following urls ?
    armmf.adobe.com
    armdl.adobe.com
    ardownload.adobe.com
    Are these urls reachable ?
    Also, you can check the contents of host file /etc/defaults/host to see that none of the ips are redirected.
    One more thing that you could try:
    If you have firewall on, could you please disable the firewall and then try the update. Does it works now ?

  • To everyone that has "server not responding" when wifi is connected, read.

    For the 2 years I've had my 3GS I have had a issue with wifi and my Belkin n+. I replaced the router 2 times with same model and had a few iPhone exchanges. I don't see this as a router issue entirely because no other device besides iPhones have a problem.
    After 20 minutes or so using wifi or it just being connected and me not locking the screen, it suddenly stops responding. Wifi signal still there, settings says it's connected. Different sys apps tell me my local ip but can't determine external during this time. I used inet to ping the router when it's in this state, no response.
    The only way to fix it is to toggle wifi off then back on.
    I think I found a solution for the people having this issue, I hope one of these days apple actually fixes the bug. I believe it's related to wpa2 and aes.
    SSID no spaces A-z characters
    Mac address filtering is useless and provides no security
    Wpa2 with aes causes the problem. I even shortened my passcode to 12345678, still had problem.
    Setting ip, subnet, dns settings manually instead of dhcp did not solve problem.
    Resetting settings On both router and iPhone did not work.
    Router is latest firmware and again no issues with anything besides iOS products.
    Wifi is set to b/g only. 20mhz band only, router gives option of 20/40 mode even if n is off.
    iOs devices are not compatible with 40mhz, make sure this is off.
    I determined it's not a dns issue by trying ip's including my local router ip. It failed to connect even though the iPhone says it's connected.
    What is working so far, I changed my security to WPA and TKIP and so far it hasn't happened, but I'll will keep on testing and won't turn off my screen or disconnect from wifi. So far using wifi 2 hours straight no issue.
    This issue has been in every update from 3.0 to 4.3. It seems from searching there are incompatibilities with routers and certain security settings. My professional guess as a programmer is there is a bug in the iOS wifi firmware or driver when negotiating and reauthenticating under certain situations, that is why it happens like clock work.
    I also noticed this issue does not affect the 3G because it uses a different chip. I'm not sure if the iPad uses the same chip as the 3GS and I am pretty sure the iPhone 4 uses a different chip.
    So if you reply please post your device model, router model and wifi settings and see of we can help ourselves and apple find a fix for this issue, because if it's not fixed by June, I doubt I will get a iPhone 5

    So far so good, I have had it connected since my last post and did not recent the wifi, go out of range, or turn off my screen (when turning off the screen, wifi usually turns off to save power). So far everytime I checked, it loaded pages right up.
    Thanks for letting me know of the firmware update, it was last updated over a year ago and I last checked in Jan, I thought they were done with updates. Looks like it is finally fixed, if anything changes I will post back.

  • Server Not responding message

    Why am I receiving a message that says "server not responding" when using safari on my IPad?

    When I reset safari it cleared the cache and deleted any cookies already. I tried it again but still no help. I've noticed there are random other sites I also cannot access with exactly the same error. It happens with Opera so it's not just a Safari issue and I've disabled Norton Security, even uninstalled it and that didn't resolve the issue either so I'm at a loss.

  • Lion Clients 10.7.4 show network accounts are unavailable and server is not responding when binding to Snow Leopard server 10.6.8

    Hello,
    I am running Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8 and my clients are Lion 10.7.4.  While testing I had no issues binding 10.7.4 to our 10.6.8 server's OD.  I created a 10.7.4 image to push to all of our machines and in the beginning of last week I was able to push the image and get the machines to bind with OD and apply preferences on these machines through workgroup manager.  Towards the end of the week though this stopped working.  Now any time I bind a 10.7.4 client to OD it allows me to perform an authenticated bind and the machine shows up in workgroup manager but immediatley after binding the client the status jelly next to the OD server in the directory list is red and says "This server is not responding".  If I reboot the client I get a notification that "Network accounts are unavailable" at the login screen.  My preferences from workgroup manager are also not applying, which is my main concern because without workgroup manager my mac server is somewhat pointless as we use it for very little else. 
    I've since tried to bind a snow leopard machine (10.6.8) and this still is working with a green status jelly.  I've also built a lion machine from scratch, updated to the 10.7.4 combined update and am still getting the same issue where it shows the server is not responding when binding to OD.  I then applied the subsiquent OS update after the 10.7.4 combined update but the problem still persists.
    Is anyone else having this issue?  Any help would help me keep my sanity.
    Thanks,
    Dane

    Have you had any luck finding a solution to this?  The only thing I have found was to unbind and then bind without authentication.  Any help with progress on your end would be appreciated!

    Hello.
    Today I got the opportunity to work with a Muse user with the same issue after performing the troubleshooting steps in the post above we decided to contact the host.
    Later i came to know that host took Muse user's IP and they were able to unblock it and muse started connecting to FTP host.
    I another scenario Host suggested Muse user to add :21 to the FTP address and then Muse was able to connect.
    Eg    ftp.domain.com:21
    Please try the 2 suggestion above and let me know if it works.

  • When emailing from iPhoto I keep on getting 'server not responded' message.

    Would anyone be able to help with the issue I have with iPhoto. Every time I try to email photos directly from iPhoto I get this message 'server not responded'. I have the lates Mountain Lion OSX installed on MBA. Also, in addition to iCloud account I tried to add two more email accounts to iPhoto hoping that this might solve the problem, but it didn't. Would anyone have any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
    Thank you.

    Marius,
    set the mailer in the iPhoto Preferences to "Mail.app", not to "iPhoto"
    iPhoto > Preferences > General
              Email Photos using: Mail
    This way you will be able to mail your photos directly from iPhoto, but you cannot use the iPhoto cards; use the Mail Photo stationary instead, once the mail panel opens.
    For some reason mailing using iPhoto as Mailer works for me only, if I am mailing from my iCloud accoun,t and if Mail is set to use the iCloud account by default.

  • Mail Problems - SMTP server not responding: "offline"

    I am currently testing DSL service for a month; set up Mail just before I downloaded the 10.7.3 release. Tested it once and it worked; did not use it to send emails since because I am only testing this (including the email address). I have been receiving emails (which I forwarded to myself from my cable provider's website); today, I wanted to send an email and a 6 hour troubleshooting saga began....
    Total of 2 hours with Centurylink tech support; 1 1/2 hours with Applecare, and another 30 minutes with Centurylink.
    During that time, all different settings were tried, turned on/off. POP server ok, SMTP server not responding. With Applecare, tried it on both the iMac and the Macbook; also tried it after booting into Snow Leopard - SMTP server not responding ("offline"). Applecare tech stated that it has to be the server since we tried it on two machines as well as SL. Centurylink insists there is nothing wrong with their server, but it's Mail's fault.
    So, I finally gave up for the evening, but wonder if there is something amiss with Mail in 10.7.3 (both machines are on the same version) and during the troubleshooting, I noticed an anomaly: in a new message window, there was no choice to choose an account to send from which I thought was odd.
    I was thinking of a new install or to clone back? My clones are up to date though, I have no older clones. I do have a fresh install but it's also the latest one from MAS. Or I could just boot from the fresh install and set up Mail to see if it would work?
    Grateful for any ideas....

    Thanks to everyone; as you can imagine, all settings/configurations were tried yesterday (even booting into SL); Apple said it's Centurylink's fault, and they insisted there was nothing wrong with their server.
    FWIW, I unplugged my Comcast cable (it is still active though and I'm getting TV reception, just unplugged the modem for now); right now, my internet access and email account are with Centurylink for the test. I still access my Comcast mail via their web interface email account.
    Anyway, thanks to a good friend's idea, I decided to check keychain access and to make it short: the issue is fixed and the problem definitely had something to do with the OS because:
    When I first checked keychain, this is what I saw:
    I then checked Comcast settings and there were two: one was checked "allow all apps..." and the other had the "confirm" with Mail listed under the applications.
    So I figured it's so screwed up, I probably can't make it any worse, so I deleted the Internet Accounts and added Mail to the smtp.centurylink...:
    And......... it then worked! These default "internetaccounts" obviously aren't being recognized by Centurylink's server?
    And, to make sure that was it, I not only did the same thing on the Macbook, but also booted into a pristine "backup" fresh install (no added apps or files, just default OS), launched Mail and couldn't send. Launched Keychain, changed the apps to Mail, and I was able to send email.
    I would call that a bug? Or not? In any case, I'll be calling back Applecare and tell them to add the above to the very long log from yesterday and to make a note that "internetaccounts" doesn't work with everything.

  • Exchange Server not responding - please try later

    Hi there
    Can anyone please help with my E75.
    I have had the phone over a year and since day 1 it has syncd perfectly well with my Outlook at work.
    Until a couple of days ago!!!
    Since then, it has refused to sync my calendar and contacts. It is still syncing e mail but about half way through the syncing process (once it has synced the e mails) I get the error message “exchange server not responding – please try later”.
    I have asked my work IT helpdesk but they have said speak to the mobile provider. They also said there’s nothing wrong with their servers but I got the feeling they hadn’t really checked.
    My problem is that I don’t know where to start.
    Is the problem to do with:-
    My phone?
    Its settings?
    Orange’s servers?
    My work’s servers?
    Nokia’s servers?
    I’m confused – please help.
    Ps I can’t believe it is my phone's settings as I haven’t changed these and it worked fine for a year. And, anyway, my credentials must be ok because it is still syncing my e mails.
    Thanks in advance

  • 7410 NFS server not responding

    Greetings,
    Anyone seeing "NFS server ... not responding" from a client of a 7410?
    I have a 7410 with a single J4400 (22 1TB drives @ RAID1, 1 spare, 1 logzilla). It's running 2009.09.01.3.0,1-1.8, which I believe is the latest and greatest. There is one client, a T2000 running Solaris 10. We're using NFS v3 to mount four shares from the 7410. Mount options look like this:
    box-nge2:/export/oracle/data     -       /oradata/data   nfs     -   yes rw,bg,hard,nointr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,proto=tcp,vers=3,noac,forcedirectioA fairly large (~1TB) Oracle database lives here (although there was very little activity in the database when the following occurred).
    Today I was cleaning up some old data files from a now unused Oracle instance. Pretty simple: rm -rf /oradata/data/DO-NOT-WANT/ . I was surprised to see the command appear to hang, and the "NFS server kwaltz-nge2 not responding still trying" message appear. Control-C eventually got me my prompt back.
    When the system became responsive again a few minutes later I tried deleting files one at a time. Deleting some "large" data files (i.e 200GB or more) was taking more than 2 minutes, and caused the NFS server not responding message. Smaller files would take a few seconds.
    Why is a simple "rm" command bringing the 7410 to its knees? Any thoughts? Thanks.
    Edited by: roymcmorran on Dec 23, 2009 3:44 PM

    After some update issues, we also lost NFS. I created a test share and exported it to one of our Solaris 10 hosts. I got an rpcbind failure. This failure wasn't corrected by restarting the NFS service, nor rebooting the 7410. Rather, I had to DISABLE the NFS service, then re-enable it. After that, all connectivity returned.
