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.

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,
Ashley.

  • 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.

  • "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 ?

  • Why ichat says am not responding when i'm the one who's inviting a chat?

    my brother-in-law and i used to ichat. we downloaded "iglasses" and still there's no problem until there was this time all of a sudden(?) we can't connect. whenever each one of us invites the other, there is a funny (?) remark why we are not connecting - one who invites is not responding???? we send the details to apple....very long descriptions of error...
    the funny thing is whenever somebody invites both of us in a videoconference we are able to connect.
    he trashed the "iglasses" and upon the instructions of the apple rep, he reinstall all software including ichat...on my end, i trashed the "iglasses" (by simply dragging the application folder to trash and empty?) BUT i am very reluctant to re-install all software...i have some important updates etc....that i'm not sure i'm willing to risk to revert to my original factory set-up..
    will opening up ports as what apple has instructed "configure your network" helps?
    would appreciate help. thanks.

    Yeah, I feel your pain.
    I've learned that the "failed to respond" message is
    actually cryptic computer geek speak for "Sir, one or
    more of the ports the computer needs for iChatAV
    communication is not open or unavailable".
    There is handshaking going on behind the scenes
    between the two computers, and the computers use
    certain ports between the modems to carry on this
    conversation. As one or both of the computers use
    these ports a "failed to repsond" message will appear
    if one of these handshakes fails.
    Do you ever see "Error -8" as an error message? If
    so, that would confirm the port issue.
    You may want to contac RJinWI on this forum for more
    help.
    thanks for your help. truly appreciate the advice...
    i did actually read on the details of the error---those long jargon which for me is very "scary". i think i read on one of those lines error 8 (?). anyway, i did try to open "configure one's network" and now, am faced with numbers of ports to open for choices between configurations A and B...ports for incoming or outgoing packets...ports like TCP or UDP...concerns like making mac osx firewall active but not being able to send huge files versus opening all ports but be vulnerable...which numbers i would type in the ports...so on and so forth ...so decided to join this discussion....
    I read on one of those emails exchange in this forum by RJinWI about similar problem -- -"not being able to connect thru ichat"...i guess will need to contact him/her as you have advised. thanks again.

  • InDesign 6 not responding when adding new pages

    Hi folks,
    I'm having a continuing problem that sees InDesign 6 "not responding" every time I try to add a new page or duplicate a spread on a document I'm working on.
    This doesn't seem to be a problem on a new document - only on my working file, which is due at the printer tomorrow!!
    Can anyone offer any advice as to what the problem may be.
    Typically, I need an answer ASAP.
    many thanks

  • 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
    Message was edited by: sevenalive

    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.

  • Numbers Not Responding When Adding New Sheet

    As you may have surmised from the title, Numbers is crashing every time I (attempt to) add a new sheet. This is only happening on one of my computers; the others seem OK.
    I got this version via the App Store and was wondering whether it'll be OK to delete my version and re-install.
    Thanks in advance for advice...

    Hi Adam,
    I wouldn't surmise that at all from your subject line—crashing is, after all, a response.
    While reinstalling might solve the issue, I doubt that it is a necessary step. Does Numbers exhibit the same response if you open it (on the same computer) using a different User Account?
    If not, then the most likely culprit is a corrupted preferences file.
    In the Finder (and logged on with the account where the issue exists), press and hold the option key, go to the Go menu, and choose Library.
    In Library, open Preferences, and locate the file com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist
    Drag this file to the desktop (or the Trash), the relaunch Numbers and try adding a sheet to a Numbers document.
    If successful, trash the old preferences file and carry on.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5 crashing (not responding) when adding files

    Hello,
    I am running AME CS5.5 on a late 2010 MacBook Pro.  I have been trying to create some broadcast quality .mpg files for my local cable provider's Video On Demand service but AME keeps crashing on me whenever I add a .mov file to the queue.  I am using Final Cut Pro and Adobe After Effects CS5.5 to edit video and create animations.  I have been able to encode a few files into the required .mpg specs, but now I can't even add a file into the queue without it freezing up.  I then have to force quit the application to shut it down.  I have recently repaired my disk permissions and used DiskWarior to clean up and create a new directory.  Is this a known bug?  Is Adobe working on a fix.  I hope so because I have some projects due in mid-September and would hate to have to resort to using Apple's Compressor instead of AME since AME is faster.  Any help would be much appreciated.

  • 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!

  • 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.
    Regards
