I installed the "ZEN" VM of PacketFence and am working through the Getting Started section if the Installation Guide: https://www.packetfence.org/doc/PacketFence_Installation_Guide.html#_connecting_packetfence_to_microsoft_active_directory
On step 5.2 "Connecting PacketFence to Microsoft Active Directory", after completing the form, when I click "Create", an error appears and the form is not submitted: "Unable to add machine account with the following error:" (Note: no details of the error are shown.) I noticed a warning on the screen that states "Joining or unjoining a Domain requires a restart of services to be fully effective.", and the ntlm-auth-api shows as stopped. When I try to start that service, it fails: "Failed to start services ntlm-auth-api. See the server error logs for more information." The entries in /usr/local/pf/logs/packetfence.log state: Feb 29 17:38:44 packetfence pfperl-api-docker-wrapper[18780]: pfperl-api(11) INFO: [mac:[undef]] Daemon ntlm-auth-api took 0.806 seconds to start. (pf::services::manager::launchServ ice) Feb 29 17:38:44 packetfence pfperl-api-docker-wrapper[18780]: pfperl-api(11) ERROR: [mac:[undef]] pf::services::manager::ntlm_auth_api=HASH(0x557fc5e8cee8)->name died or has failed to start (pf::services::manager::postStartCleanup) I tried Googling "name died or has failed to start", as well as this mailing list archive, to no avail. What do I need to do to fix the configuration of this supposedly "zero-effort NAC" instance? :-) Thanks in advance for any advice. _______________________________________________ PacketFence-users mailing list PacketFence-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/packetfence-users
