all,
I have a new Collax server I am evaluationg for a not-for-profit. CXS is a small business server that competes with MSFT SBS and it will replace a very old NT4.0 server. Remote admin is done through firefox and it uses wizards. LDAP was installed during the inital installation and this is my first actual use of ldap. I made the server a Primary Domain Controller and I am trying to join an XP pc into the domain. I created two users on cxs with a matching login ids to the XP machine.
(The user create wizard is very barebones: you enter a login id, the users full name and the user's pasword. There are options after the fact to disable the account and add the user to other groups.)
I cannot login to the cxs machine with this new id, through the console or ssh. I am prompted for a pasword, but I am just dropped back to the original login after I enter the password. There is no message indication why the login does not take place.
I experimented by entering a valid login id with valid and invalid passwords and I am not authenticated with a valid login and invalid password. Likewise, if I use an invalid login I am booted out right away with 'unknown user.'
The server is advetised as being secure out-of-the-box, so is there a feature I must activate to allow new logins to work?
BTW: the CXS domain is visible to XP and the home dirs are being shared. I verified that a user can access (r/w) thier own directory and they have no access to any another directory
Thanks very much for your help,
Jim
