Rich, hello and thanks for the quick reply. You write: < Yes, this appears to be a bug in windows sync How might I get further information - is there a BUG number/report ? Should I try and log a BUG ? If so, where ? Sorry, I'm new to Fedora/Redhat/Linux (migrating off Sun Solaris, so to speak). Anyway, I have the following work-around: - use the password sync mechanism from Redhat - I've yet to test this - next on my list - Use a script to do the following: -- create Directory Server user account -- create Active Directory account using ldapmodify and LDAPS -- set the Active Directory unicodePwd:: using ldapmodify and LDAPS -- set the Active Directory userAccountControl: 512 using ldapmodify and LDAPS. '512', I believe, 'enables' the account. Thanks again for your help, Dave (former employee of iPlanet :-) ------------ > Date: Tue, 2 Dec 2008 08:51:08 -0700 > From: rmeggins@xxxxxxxxxx > To: fedora-directory-users@xxxxxxxxxx > CC: lambam80@xxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: [Fedora-directory-users] 'Account Disabled' Windows Sync Directory Server red cross > > lambam80@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > > Firstly, please accept my apologies for a white lie. > > I'm, in fact, using CentOS but a colleague of mine recommended that I > > use this forum/mailing-list. > > > > Let me know if this white-lie is a problem. > > > > cat /etc/redhat-release > > CentOS release 5.2 (Final) > > > > /usr/sbin/ns-slapd -v > > CentOS-Directory/8.0.4 B2008.288.1513 > > > > Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition R2 > > > > I've 'successfully' configured Windows Sync and it > > works in both directions. > > > > However, accounts that are synched from Centos Directory Server to > > Active Directory are > > created with the 'Account Disabled' checkbox selected. > > > > In the Windows account administration interface > > they also have the red cross next to them. > > > > Q1.
