Can't Login to Admin Console - 5.0.1_GA_1902

[FritzBrause]

Just by chance I just discovered a workaround:

The DNS Hostname of our Zimbraserver is de-dd-srv-1101.domain.net. For our users we have a DNS cname Record zimbra.otherdomain.com resolving to the same IP as de-dd-srv-1101.domain.net.

Logging in to the Admin Console via zimbra.otherdomain.com is working fine.

Logging in to the Admin Console via de-dd-srv-1101.domain.net does not work. (I tried this all the time since this was what we used to do since ZCS 3.x)

The Zimbra Web Client is working with both URL's as it did before the upgrade.

DNS & MX Records weren't changed.

HTH

We've just performed a test upgrage from 4.5.6 to 5.0.2.
( Both production and test Zimbra are running with zimbra_samba and zimbra_posixaccount admin extensions for about a year and Zimbra successfully acts as admin interface to Samba PDC.)

Before the upgrade those extensions were uninstalled to allow login to Admin Console.
After upgrade included extensions were modified accordingly, loaded and deployed using the Console.
No login to Admin Console since. Only after we undeployed extensions the Console became available again.
The log show some warnings.
Please, advise.

Did you update slapd.conf.in with the Samba schema, etc, after your upgrade? It gets reset on upgrades.

Indeed, check your slap.conf and make sure you have the right version of the extensions. The extensions in the gallery didn't work for me neither.

You have to use the originals, included in your install.

I used applets from the 5.0.2 distribution and changed slapd.conf.in according to the Wiki (BTW I wrote several paragraphs in this wiki :-)

Although I did update the slapd.conf.in it does not matter. In a working environment the zimbra_samba and zimbra_posixaccount can be deployed and visible in admin interface even with unchanged slapd.conf. (They were extensively tested when we were initially migrating from Kolab to Zimbra 4.5) It might be rather linked to the certificate issue. We use certificates issued by corporate CA and in 4.5 I had to replace them everywhere, including tomcats keystore.
Naturally after upgrade the MTA does not work (known bug) even after I gave up and degraded to self-signed certificates as suggested in a recent wiki.
Only after start_tls was set to 'no' in all ldap related conf files postfix started working.
The worst thing is that even when I restore /opt/zimbra back to 4.5 I still have problems. And this is not only because of /etc/sudoers file that your upgrade script mercilessly changed without even saving the original to something like "sudoers.saved". (I restored it to 4.5 status)
Something else was changed outside /opt/zimbra and I can not find what it is.
Could you tell what the upgrade does outside of /opt/zimbra?
As impatiently as the folks in our company were waiting for 5.0, it looks like they'll have to wait a little more.
