Hi again,

Answering to my own post since I've made some progress.

It turns out "ldapclient manual" doesn't automatically "kinit -k" when it's started with multiple servers in the defaultServerList. It kinits when called with a single server or when called through "ldapclient mod" though.

Quick and dirty fix : edit /lib/svc/method/ldap-client to add "kinit -k" before actually launching ldap_cachemgr.

I was asking myself if there was some "clean" solution, because I don't like the idea to start fiddling with smf startup scripts...
Perhaps some service I should have started to kinit automatically ?

If anybody has any clue, I would love to hear about it.

Thanks

Hi list,

Sorry if I'm posting to the wrong list. Please point me to the right one if I'm wrong. Thanks.

If I configure ldapclient with only one server in the defaultServerList it works if I reboot. If I put multiple servers afterwards (eg: ldapclient mod -a "defaultServerList=172.23.4.2 172.23.4.3 172.23.5.2 172.23.14.12" ) ldapclient is transitioned to maintenance on reboot and I can't clear it.

Here is the message I get in /var/svc/log/network-ldap-client:default.log : [ févr. 19 14:13:24 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/ldap-client start"). ]
/usr/lib/ldap/ldap_cachemgr: terminated by signal 6.
[ févr. 19 14:13:27 Method "start" exited with status 1. ]

Sometimes it says terminated by signal 11.

To make it work, I have to reconfigure it with only one server ( ldapclient manual etc...) and then use the ldapclient mod command to readd my servers. It doesn't matter which server I use for the "manual" command (as long as it's a valid server).

As a side note, the "ldapclient manual" command fails if I use multiple servers from the beginning, but not once ldapclient has been succesfully configured with single server and the ldapclient mod-ed.

I'm struggling with this problem since about 5 dev builds, read sun docs and double checked that the NS_LDAP_SERVERS in my /var/ldap/ldap_client_file has the same format as sun docs's examples.

I'm using kerberos/gss authentication to the ldap server and suspected a problem there, but the problem doesn't show with any of the ldap server as long as I only use one at a time.

I can post full command lines (I always use the same copy-pasted one to avoid typos), full ldap_client_file, klist output,... if needed.

If anyone has even the slightest clue about this issue, please share.

Thanks in advance,
Arnaud
