Developer Builds UPDATED 21-Dec-2005

[graffiti]

I do a fresh developer build installation to a FC3 box and zmcontrol start returns something like below:

[zimbra@sunnygirl ~]$ zmcontrol start
Host sunnygirl.innology.com.vn
Starting ldap...Done.
ERROR: service.FAILURE (system failure: getDirectContext) (cause: javax.naming.AuthenticationException [LDAP: error code 49 - Invalid Credentials])

I know this is a LDAP problem so I check:

1. Is LDAP running? YES. I can telnet to port 389 and netstat -nat shows slapd's listening at port 389

2. Is Zimbra's ldap password valid? YES. I can run "/opt/zimbra/openldap/bin/ldapsearch -x -D uid=zimbra,cn=admins,cn=zimbra -H ldap://sunnygirl.example.com -W" with zimbra's ldap password got from zmlocalconfig.

3. Is sunnygirl.example.com resolvable? YES. "host sunnygirl.example.com" returns a valid IP pointing to the LDAP server. In fact, I install all Zimbra's components into only one server.

BTW, here are my ldap related config parameters:

[zimbra@sunnygirl ~]$ zmlocalconfig -s | grep ldap
ldap_connect_pool_debug = false
ldap_connect_pool_initsize = 1
ldap_connect_pool_maxsize = 25
ldap_connect_pool_prefsize = ${ldap_connect_pool_maxsize}
ldap_connect_pool_timeout = 120000
ldap_connect_timeout = 10000
ldap_host =
ldap_is_master = true
ldap_master_url = ldap://sunnygirl.example.com:389
ldap_port =
ldap_root_password = u3aeXk.GK
ldap_url = ldap://sunnygirl.example.com:389
zimbra_ldap_password = u3aeXk.GK
zimbra_ldap_userdn = uid=zimbra,cn=admins,cn=zimbra

Please advise.

TIA,

Have you tried to reset/change your LDAP passwords to see if that would clear this?

Even with Firefox's cache cleared it still does fail authenication.

Thanks Ben. We've found the bug. It'll be fixed in the next build.

Yes but it still doest work:

[zimbra@sunnygirl ~]$ zmldappasswd --root zimbra
Updating local config
Stopping ldap
slapd not running
Updating ldap configuration
Starting ldap
Updating zimbra.ldif
Running ldapmodify
Password change complete.

You may need to restart tomcat, if it is running.

[zimbra@sunnygirl ~]$ zmcontrol start
Host sunnygirl.innology.com.vn
Starting ldap...Done.
ERROR: service.FAILURE (system failure: getDirectContext) (cause: javax.naming.AuthenticationException [LDAP: error code 49 - Invalid Credentials])

BTW, what's the different between ldap_root_password and zimbra_ldap_password? The rootdn is already uid=zimbra,cn=admins,cn=zimbra rite?

Any word on what's included/fixed in this build?

Nope. We don't plan on publishing that until we open up bugzilla(~couple weeks off). Since a list of bug numbers wouldn't help you much now. Eventually we'll publish a list of bug numbers for reference. We have the data it's just not very useful without bugzilla. Of course we could just provide summaries, but we decided to wait.

Ok, so you've snuck out a build on 12/30/05, but not notes, and lots of changes.

Whats a zimlet?

The install process is much better, but takes longer to start, I think.

I know you guys are busy, but when you release a build, we need notes to see whats fixed, added, etc

Great work though, you guys kick A$$.

I'm an old MS Exchange Junkie and this product is the best I've seen in a long time. The install is almost perfect.

Can't wait for the debian package, but I'll try compiling before that.

Again, great job, keep up the good work!

Stay tuned for more on this in an upcoming announcement.

Well if your looking for a particular bug you can check bugzilla ( http://bugzilla.zimbra.com ). In general we won't spend time to write up notes for each dev/weekly build. I always try to mention a quick summary of the big changes for the week (ie these), but at this time we don't plan to include change/bug numbers. We do include more detail in our milestone releases which have a release notes.

I totally understand, thanks Kevin
