Installation and Upgrades / "Create Certification Authority Certificate" fails

« on: August 13, 2008, 02:15:39 pm »

Create Certification Authority Certificate manager fails to create a certificate on one of my machines.

There is no error message on screen and in the logs (that I can find).

I suspect it is related to that I deleted/disabled an already existing certificate because when I did that there was a message on screen (something like an error occurred in ebox and please contact support) after this no certificates appear in the list and no new certificates can be created (or at least they do not appear on the screen).

So how do I clean out the Certificate Manager and reset everything related to openvpn?

Installation and Upgrades / possible samba and firewall module bug or is it install error?

« on: July 04, 2008, 03:18:07 pm »

Background:
I have two installs of EBOX.
1. Using the EBOX CD, upgraded to latest versions of EBOX modules from the EBOX repo.
2. Using Hardy server, upgraded and then upgraded to latest versions of EBOX modules from the EBOX repo.
Both running under VMWare WS (For now), machines has equal configuration with 2 virtual ethernet cards.

Nags and Bugs:
1. Whenever I log in using the web interface I get the message "Save Changes"
- I Save and get the message:
"eBox detected that some files which need to be overwritten have been modified by you.
Do you wish to overwrite these files?"

" Module: samba
File: /etc/ldap.conf
Comment: To let NSS know how to access LDAP accounts "

I wing the green V and saves and everything is good until next boot -> same again.
How do I remove this or the offending module that modifies ldap.conf

2. Firewall issue:
I configure one LAN card as external DHCP configured.
and one LAN card as internal static configured.

HOWEVER:
The management interface and ssh are only available on the internal interface if the firewall has rules that enables ssh and ebox administration on the external interface. I have tried to flip the "external" checkbox for both interfaces a number of times but always the same (rules must be enabled on the external if for it to work and internal if rules has no effect). Tested a number of times with reboots etc. However samba is supposed to only work on internal interfaces and it works just fine. This problem exists also before any updates straight out of the EBOX install CD. Is it me that do not understand the Internal / external definition or is it a VMware related problem or is it an install issue?

I hope someone can help me with this...
