Installation and Upgrades / Re: Installing the 1.3 beta
« on: October 13, 2009, 04:11:16 pm »
Hi!
Did you install Samba or any other LDAP-using module in the master? With the current architecture the master should only have the Users And Groups module.
Is that your problem?
Cheers!

Installation and Upgrades / Re: ebox memory footprint
« on: October 08, 2009, 06:15:52 pm »
Hi Lucho!
The memory apache uses in eBox is used by the administration interface, once everything is set up and you don't use it it will be probably swapped out to disk if memory is needed. In addition you can go a step further and just stop ebox's apache when you are not using the web interface
and of course start it if you want to do some administration
We still try to lower the memory footprint of eBox, but it's not such a big issue as you can see

Installation and Upgrades / Re: 1.3 usersandgroups for master/slave ldap setup error
« on: September 28, 2009, 12:45:42 pm »
Well, apparently the LDAP server is not running for some reason.
Try to restart it with:
sudo /etc/init.d/slapd restart
If that fails follow the instructions that that command will print to get debugging information and post that here

Hi Mike!
The LDAP base name is configurable starting with Karmic. The ebox client for the desktop is also in the works. We'll keep working on it and everything else.
Thanks for your message

I am more of a Merriam-Webster guy, and functionality appears there as:
"the particular set of functions or capabilities associated with computer software or hardware or an electronic device"
and as far as I know is widely used in technology, e.g.: http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2SE/Desktop/javase6/systemtray/
"New System Tray Functionality in Java SE 6"

Installation and Upgrades / Official documentation for eBox 1.2 available (yay!)
« on: August 18, 2009, 12:14:29 pm »
Dear users! We are happy to announce the immediate availability of our official documentation for eBox 1.2.
We hope that you find it useful and it improves your eBox experience
We would also like to ask you for your help. If you see any part that can be improved, either because concepts can be explained better or you think a more appropriate example can be provided or the English is plain wrong, let us know in this post and we'll do something about it
Well, enough with the talk, doc is at http://doc.ebox-platform.com/en/ and other documentation and other languages available at http://trac.ebox-platform.com/wiki/Document/Index.

The problem that prevented the replication in the first place had to be something different, but I am glad it's already working.
And yeah, when the slave registers in the master it tells the master its hostname and that hostname must be resolvable by the master to perform some operations in the slave.
I'll add that to the documentation.
Thank you

Hi Michele!
Can you try to enable again and send the output that is written in the file /var/log/ebox/ebox.log in the slave (just the last lines that appear to be related to the error)?
Thanks

Hi Jonny2k!
Thank you for reporting these issues. It's the first time I see that kind of problem with the master-slave setup (and I can tell you I have seen loads of different ones while developing it
).
In any case it somehow seems like you are lacking some schemas in the replicated server. Can you run:
Thanks!

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Can eBox replace MS AD for simple things?
« on: July 16, 2009, 05:29:56 pm »Quote from: elliott
Ok, but specifically, can other servers or even "domain members" share directories on their machines and set permissions based on the eBox LDAP directory?I am not an expert in Samba, but I fear we can't do that right now. I'll ask one of my workmates about it.
Quote from: elliott
Right now we don't have anything in place to facilitate the backup LDAP server. You would have to do that manually, probably using another eBox and syncrepl to replicate the LDAP.
Do you know of any documentation or walk-throughs of this type of setup? I have several years of linux (and even specifically ubuntu) experience but nothing really with LDAP.
Uhm, there are some like http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Replicated_Failover_Domain_Controller_and_file_server_using_LDAP, but it's explains in too much detail (i.e., how to install slapd from source and configure the master LDAP, that eBox does for you).
Quote from: elliott
The 6 month time frame is daunting because one of my 2 AD machines is on it's last legs and I'm looking to get a solution in place now. It would be nice if eBox could initially be setup as a Backup Controller to the existing AD Domain and then be elevated to take over later when these features are available!
Well, as I said a working alpha version with these features will be announced tomorrow. Anyway it still will lack some of the features you mention. The good news is we are really interested in improving eBox in this aspect. Bad news is it won't be ready in a while
In any case I'll talk with other developers and report about our plans for LDAP/Samba in the near future.Thanks
