Error connecting FreeNAS to AD

[marcelst]

Hi,

I'm trying to connect FreeNAs to AD but I get this error:
"Unable to find domain controllers for nvf.local."


In /var/log/debug.log I can see:

May 26 20:02:33 freenas manage.py: [common.freenasldap:1157] FreeNAS_ActiveDirectory_Base.get_SRV_records: looking up SRV records for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.nvf.local

I can ping the server as you can see, and the resolution is fine:

[root@freenas /var/log]# ping srvlotus2.nvf.local

PING srvlotus2.nvf.local (10.0.10.11): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 10.0.10.11: icmp_seq=0 ttl=128 time=0.109 ms

[root@freenas /var/log]# ping nvf.local
PING nvf.local (10.0.10.11): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 10.0.10.11: icmp_seq=0 ttl=128 time=0.080


Any ideas? Any other log whre I can find more information about which can be the issue here?

Thanks a lot!

You shouldn't be getting a traceback. Is this on 201605240427? If not, does an upgrade to that version fix it? If it still occurs on that version, please create a bug report at bugs.freenas.org and post the issue number here.

Hi,

I upgraded to last 9.10 version. Ad now is working, amazing, thanks!

New problem...

Every time I reboot the FreeNAS I get this alert:

"ActiveDirectory did not bind to the domain"

So I have to manually go to: Directory, set the password and, check enable and click Save. Then it connects to AD until next reboot..

Is that a normal behavior?

 

[dlavigne]

Nope. If you're at the latest and its doing that please create a bug report at bugs.freenas.org and post the issue number here.

I know that you can resolve your AD Server by hostname (srvlotus2.nvf.local) but is your FreeNas server resolvable by hostname?

 

[marcelst]

Yes, my FreeNAS is resolvable by hostname.
