Thanks for your help on this, and sorry for not replying sooner, being in norway, different timezones and then i had a few meetings today.
First with netstat, when there is a problem with the authentication, netstat doesnt work, it hangs after listing the column names. if i touch the resolv.conf file, netstat starts to respond. So looks like i cant provide a list when the problem occurs, only right after it starts to, which is attached. With the ldap configuration, what would be your recommendation be for its configuration. I dont not want a configuration where there is a specific ldap account used to authenticate the logons, I would like it to use the users credentials to authenticate against AD. This connection should also be secure, so doesnt expose any of the usernames or passwords. The bigadmin document was the only one that i found which appeared to do this for me, I have found it difficault to locate example configurations that appear to be secure. >I also question the wisdom of using: >NS_LDAP_CREDENTIAL_LEVEL= self and >This also says: >"THE SOLUTION DESCRIBED IN THIS PAPER SHOULD BE TREATED AS PROOF OF >CONCEPT AND SHOULD NOT BE USED IN PRODUCTION" Well thats on most implementation guides isnt it :), and it will be changed for my environment when finished, but if you think that its not actually a good way to go about the authentication, i would really like some help in getting another way set up. Doing a klist after the tickets are renewed shows that the service principal tickets are also renewed. These problems have been replicated on multiple installations and domains. I have setup a test domain at home, installed windows 2003 R2, did a dcpromo, installed the unix utils to add the snapin for active diretory and added a user with unix properties, and made sure the reverse lookups were in the DNS. Then installed opensolaris and configured it as in that documentation. So it is easy to replicate. thanks -- This message posted from opensolaris.org -------------- next part -------------- TCP: IPv4 Local Address Remote Address Swind Send-Q Rwind Recv-Q State -------------------- -------------------- ----- ------ ----- ------ ----------- FORCE.microsoft-ds 172.16.40.15.3990 64350 0 49640 0 CLOSE_WAIT FORCE.microsoft-ds 172.16.40.15.4194 64403 0 49640 0 CLOSE_WAIT FORCE.microsoft-ds 172.16.40.15.4213 64350 0 49640 0 CLOSE_WAIT FORCE.microsoft-ds 172.16.40.15.4233 64403 0 49640 0 CLOSE_WAIT FORCE.microsoft-ds 172.16.40.15.4237 64350 0 49640 0 CLOSE_WAIT FORCE.netbios-ssn 172.16.40.15.4244 64399 0 49640 0 CLOSE_WAIT FORCE.netbios-ssn 172.16.40.15.4254 64346 0 49640 0 CLOSE_WAIT FORCE.microsoft-ds 172.16.40.15.4256 64403 0 49640 0 CLOSE_WAIT FORCE-bnx0.52711 cd1.development01.tag.no.ldap 64112 0 49640 0 CLOSE_WAIT FORCE.netbios-ssn 172.16.40.15.4783 64346 0 49640 0 CLOSE_WAIT FORCE.netbios-ssn 172.16.40.15.4797 64399 0 49640 0 CLOSE_WAIT FORCE.microsoft-ds 172.16.40.15.4815 64350 0 49640 0 CLOSE_WAIT FORCE.microsoft-ds 172.16.40.15.4829 64403 0 49640 0 CLOSE_WAIT FORCE.ssh 172.16.40.15.1449 63884 0 49640 0 ESTABLISHED FORCE.microsoft-ds 172.16.40.15.4840 64350 0 49640 0 CLOSE_WAIT FORCE.microsoft-ds 172.16.40.15.4853 64403 0 49640 0 CLOSE_WAIT FORCE.microsoft-ds 172.16.40.15.4882 64350 0 49640 0 CLOSE_WAIT FORCE.microsoft-ds 172.16.40.15.4896 64403 0 49640 0 CLOSE_WAIT FORCE.ssh 172.16.40.15.3188 63532 51 49640 0 ESTABLISHED FORCE.microsoft-ds 172.16.40.15.4901 64350 0 49640 0 CLOSE_WAIT FORCE.netbios-ssn 172.16.40.15.4950 64399 0 49640 0 CLOSE_WAIT FORCE-bnx0.52317 cd2.development01.tag.no.microsoft-ds 65149 0 49640 0 ESTABLISHED FORCE.netbios-ssn 172.16.40.15.3814 64346 0 49640 0 CLOSE_WAIT FORCE.netbios-ssn 172.16.40.15.3837 64399 0 49640 0 CLOSE_WAIT FORCE.microsoft-ds 172.16.40.15.3964 64350 0 49640 0 CLOSE_WAIT FORCE.59759 cd1.development01.tag.no.ldap 65528 0 49640 0 TIME_WAIT FORCE.36886 cd2.development01.tag.no.ldap 65528 0 49640 0 TIME_WAIT FORCE.34389 cd1.development01.tag.no.ldap 65528 0 49640 0 TIME_WAIT FORCE.59619 cd2.development01.tag.no.ldap 65528 0 49640 0 TIME_WAIT FORCE.microsoft-ds 172.16.40.15.3975 64403 0 49640 0 CLOSE_WAIT Active UNIX domain sockets Address Type Vnode Conn Local Addr Remote Addr ffffff02d783d388 stream-ord 0000000 0000000 /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 ffffff02d783d6f0 stream-ord 0000000 ffffff02e4c89a80 /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 ffffff02d783da58 stream-ord 0000000 0000000 /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 ffffff02d783ddc0 stream-ord 0000000 ffffff02e4c89a80 /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 ffffff02d783e128 stream-ord 0000000 0000000 /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 ffffff02d783e490 stream-ord 0000000 ffffff02e4c89a80 /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 ffffff02d783e7f8 stream-ord 0000000 0000000 /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket ffffff02d783eb60 stream-ord ffffff02e4c89a80 0000000 /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 ffffff02e2a8b018 stream-ord ffffff02e494f280 0000000 /var/run/gdm_socket ffffff02e2a8b380 stream-ord 0000000 ffffff02e2a55200 /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket ffffff02e2a8b6e8 stream-ord ffffff02e100d980 0000000 /var/run/.inetd.uds ffffff02e2a8ba50 stream-ord 0000000 0000000 /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket ffffff02e2a8bdb8 stream-ord 0000000 ffffff02e2a55200 /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket ffffff02e2a8c120 stream-ord 0000000 0000000 /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket ffffff02e2a8c488 stream-ord 0000000 0000000 /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket ffffff02e2a8c7f0 stream-ord ffffff02d78c0440 0000000 /var/run/mDNSResponder ffffff02e2a8cb58 dgram ffffff02e2998340 0000000 /var/run/in.rdisc_mib ffffff02e2a99010 stream-ord 0000000 0000000 /var/run/hald/dbus-3NAHLx7rRf ffffff02e2a99378 stream-ord 0000000 ffffff02e2caec00 /var/run/hald/dbus-3NAHLx7rRf ffffff02e2a996e0 stream-ord 0000000 ffffff02e2a55200 /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket ffffff02e2a99a48 stream-ord 0000000 ffffff02e2a55200 /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket ffffff02e2a99db0 stream-ord 0000000 0000000 /var/run/hald/dbus-3NAHLx7rRf ffffff02e2a9a118 stream-ord 0000000 0000000 /var/run/hald/dbus-3NAHLx7rRf ffffff02e2a9a480 stream-ord 0000000 ffffff02e2caec00 /var/run/hald/dbus-3NAHLx7rRf ffffff02e2a9a7e8 stream-ord 0000000 ffffff02e2caec00 /var/run/hald/dbus-3NAHLx7rRf ffffff02e2a9ab50 dgram ffffff02e402fa80 0000000 /var/run/in.ndpd_mib ffffff02e26e5008 stream-ord 0000000 0000000 /var/run/hald/dbus-3NAHLx7rRf ffffff02e26e5370 stream-ord 0000000 ffffff02e2caec00 /var/run/hald/dbus-3NAHLx7rRf ffffff02e26e56d8 stream-ord 0000000 0000000 /var/run/hald/dbus-eKgSzn8WbQ ffffff02e26e5a40 stream-ord 0000000 ffffff02e2cc6a80 /var/run/hald/dbus-eKgSzn8WbQ ffffff02e26e5da8 stream-ord ffffff02e2cc6a80 0000000 /var/run/hald/dbus-eKgSzn8WbQ ffffff02e26e6110 stream-ord 0000000 0000000 ffffff02e26e6478 stream-ord 0000000 0000000 ffffff02e26e67e0 stream-ord ffffff02e2caec00 0000000 /var/run/hald/dbus-3NAHLx7rRf ffffff02e26e6b48 stream-ord ffffff02e2a55200 0000000 /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket
