Error activating Active Directory

Troubleshooting

When trying to connect to AD, I got the following:

        Traceback (most recent call last):

File “/opt/rockstor/src/rockstor/rest_framework_custom/generic_view.py”, line 41, in _handle_exception
yield
File “/opt/rockstor/src/rockstor/smart_manager/views/active_directory.py”, line 199, in post
smb_config = self._get_config(smbo)

obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end())
TypeError: expected string or buffer

After trying later, it stated that NTP needed to be setup first. After doing that, all is fine.

Thanks for the report and glad it worked for you in the end. It does look like we have a usability issue here somewhere so your report will help.
