Active Directory and LDAP trouble

Troubleshooting
1

Hi,

I have joined the Rockstor machine to a Windows domain, but can’t activate the Active Directory button
in the WEB Gui under Services, if I try to turn it on it flips back to off, no error message.

The same wth LDAP button

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance

Ralf

@rakey Welcome to the Rockstor community. Could you take a peek in /opt/rockstor/var/log/rockstor.log for any clues; ie via:-

tail -f /opt/rockstor/var/log/rockstor.log

and then try configuring, via spanner, and activating the AD service again. Rockstor uses RedHat’s preferred system of sssd for the AD service. We have a wiki post on the internal workings that may also help.

Thanks.

Please feel free to paste elements of interest from the log in this thread as a starter.

I checked with net ads info and it didn’t find any logon servers.
If I check in AD the Rockstor machine is there, should I remove it manually and try to rejoin through console ?
Will take a look to the wiki now

Welcome to Rockstor @rakey. So AD integration has been volatile and some new changes are about to be pushed in next couple of testing updates. You’ll see from our wiki post that the current approach uses SSSD and it’s been problematic for a couple of reasons. We’ll be moving to a winbind approach (may still offer sssd approach as an option in the future) in this dev cycle itself. So, my recommendation to you is stay tuned for announcements in the next week or so for more information. You’ll be able to test it very soon.
