Installation and Upgrades / Re: Losing PDC password length, age, and history settings everytime I restart EBOX

Sorry just one last question. I have only tried installing ebox using the 1.2 installer cd. How are you installing? Are you installing hardy first then ebox 1.2 or are you using the ebox 1.2 installer cd? Also, I downloaded the 1.2 installer cd the very first day it was available. Is it possible I could have gotten a bad release. Sorry, If these are stupid questions. But is it possible for any of the above to be the cause of my issues?

Yes I miss typed the return line. Yes the fix does work, but like you said it causes the domain name change feature to stop working properly. Also, I did try installing ebox 1.2 on 2 different machines, but I keep getting the same error. So, what can I do next?

Im sorry I typed the line in wrong. I have it working now. The PDC settings are saved and I can log onto the domain without a problem. So, I guess thats were the issue is? I am going to test the install on another machine and I will let you know the results. Thanks for all your help.

Well, lol I spoke to soon. Its saves the settings now, but I can't join the domain. It prompts for username and password I enter them in. Then, it gives me an error: the network path was not found.
Any ideas? Should I try loading ebox on another test machine. You did say that you couldn't reproduce my error/issue?

Has anyone got any ideas? Is it still a bug or is it something I am doing wrong or something wrong with my setup?

First off thanks for all your help.

No only the maximum password age is enabled and set to 0.
The other to settings are disabled.

So, whenever I restart EBOX the PDC settings are as followed:

Minimum Password Length:  disabled
Maximum Password Age:      enabled : set to 0
Enforce Password History:    disabled

Now I adjusted the settings to:

Minimum Password Length:  enabled : set to 8
Maximum Password Age:     enabled : set to 90
Enforce Password History:   enabled : set to 6

Then I ran slapcat and I got the following:

dn: sambaDomainName=EBOX,dc=ebox
sambaDomainName: EBOX
sambaSID: S-1-5-21-3818554400-921237426-3143208535
uidNumber: 2002
gidNumber: 2000
objectClass: sambaDomain
objectClass: sambaUnixIdPool
structuralObjectClass: sambaDomain
entryUUID: 7abdf04e-04ce-102e-906f-a97cdafb1adf
creatorsName: cn=admin,dc=ebox
createTimestamp: 20090714135715Z
sambaMinPwdLength: 8
sambaMaxPwdAge: 7776000
sambaPwdHistoryLength: 6
entryCSN: 20090714140352.846895Z#000000#000#000000
modifiersName: cn=admin,dc=ebox
modifyTimestamp: 20090713223849Z

Next, I restarted ran slapcat and I got the following:

dn: sambaDomainName=EBOX,dc=ebox
sambaDomainName: EBOX
sambaSID: S-1-5-21-3818554400-921237426-3143208535
uidNumber: 2002
gidNumber: 2000
objectClass: sambaDomain
objectClass: sambaUnixIdPool
structuralObjectClass: sambaDomain
entryUUID: 7abdf04e-04ce-102e-906f-a97cdafb1adf
creatorsName: cn=admin,dc=ebox
createTimestamp: 20090714135715Z
entryCSN: 20090714140352.846895Z#000000#000#000000
modifiersName: cn=admin,dc=ebox
modifyTimestamp: 20090713223849Z

Then, I logged back into the web interface and the PDC settings are back to following:

Minimum Password Length:  disabled
Maximum Password Age:      enabled : set to 0
Enforce Password History:    disabled

What do you think could be the cause of this issue?

I updated to samba 1.2.1 and I adjusted the minimum password length to 8, the age to 90 days, and the history to 6. I then restarted and it did the same thing as before, password length was disabled, the age was enabled and set to 0, and the history was disabled. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Installation and Upgrades / Ebox 1.2 doesn't pull an IP address on restart

« on: July 13, 2009, 06:24:26 pm »

I would first like to say that I think the Ebox Team and its developers are doing a great job and are building a great piece of software. Can't wait for the next stable release. Well on to my problem.

I installed the new version 1.2 and everytime I restart it doesn't pull and IP address. I have tried with dhcp and I have assigned a static address as well. So, I have to manually restart the network by running /etc/init.d/networking restart in order to reach the GUI in firefox. Im guessing this is a bug? When should this issue be fixed?

I am having a problem with my PDC setting in Ebox. I can join my xp machines to the domain without any problem, and i can change the password length, age, and history settings. The settings work until I restart and then they are disabled or back enabled with a 0. I have tried EBOX 1.1.3 and just tried 1.2 and both keep giving me the same problem. So, my question is this a bug or am I just doing something wrong? If its a bug will the new 1.3 version take care of this problem?
