Hello all:

Im posting this to the list for posterity.

My issue was a little weird.

I had disabled iptables on the server (I have an external FW inline with the 
server, dont panic)  and this was what was causing the domain join to fail.

The new domain joining process makes use of chroot jails and iptables to 
manipulate the traffic, it does this in ways that seem like black magic to me 
but in time I'm sure I will understand it.

Suffice it to say however, the domain joining process in the GUI will NOT work 
without iptables being managed by PF.

Hrm, just out of curiosity, does your DNS have the appropriate records for AD?

Also, have you checked the event log on the domain controllers? In the past, 
I've also used wireshark on the DCs to debug connectivity issues. Those are my 
primary ways of checking to see if the server is even trying to join AD.

So, a configreload hard and blanking out my domain.conf file seemed to help.

I can get to the domain GUI now ... so I've got that going for me ... which is 
nice.

I still cant get the server to join the AD though.

here is the log:

Not too helpful AFAICT.

when I do a net ads info I get:

ads_connect: No logon servers
ads_connect: No logon servers
Didn't find the ldap server!

But I have made sure the servers are active, running, and accessible by my PF 
server.

Ideas? Deep theological insights?

Subject: [PacketFence-users] Error in GUI domain config

Hello all!

Im trying to join my server to my AD domain, however it gave me an error about 
not finding my info over rpc.

However now when I go to the domain config section of the admin GUI i get the 
red "An error occurred" dialogue.

Can someone please post a working (and sanitized) copy of their domain.conf so 
I can get this back up and running, my students are getting antsy : )

Also, I have already restarted the PF services to see if I could get back to 
the GUI domains config, but no luck.  Any ideas on how I can get that part of 
the admin interface working again are welcome.

Another weird thing is that I noticed winbindd no longer shows up in the list 
of restart-able services in the web admin GUI, no idea if that is related.
