Help diagnosing Likewise Open Active Directory authentication problem

▲

▼

I have two servers which were up until recently authenticating against the companies Active Directory Domain controller. I believe a recent change to the Active Directory administrator password caused the servers to stop authenticating against AD. I tried to add the servers back to the domain using the command:

domainjoin-cli join example.com adusername

this seemed to work without complaints, but when I try to login via ssh with my domain account, I get an invalid password error. When I run the command:

lw-enum-users

it prints all of the domain users, and looking up my own account, I see that it is valid and my password hasn't expired. I also ran

lw-get-status and received the following:

LSA Server Status:

I work for Likewise Software and was forwarded your request for help. The output you have given looks correct and it looks like a properly joined machine.

Please provide me with the following things so I can try to help you out.

  1. OS release (e.g. RHEL 5.3 or Ubuntu 8.10)
  2. Version of Likewise Open (run, without quotes, "cat /opt/likewise/data/VERSION" and post results)
  3. The contents of /etc/likewise/lsassd.conf (run, without quotes, "cat /etc/likewise/lsassd.conf" and post results)

Regards,

Yvo van Doorn

This was resolved when my current active directory password expired and I had to set a new one. Still unsure why this occurred though...
