Problem rejoining slave DC

UCS - Univention Corporate Server
#1

Hi,

I try to rejoin a slave server without any luck. It fails on 03univention-directory-listener.inst. As far as I understand, the problem is related to the machine password. I have followed the instrutions to alter it in LDAP according to Problem: Unable to (re-)join: 03univention-directory-listener.inst failed

Still I cannot get the server to sucessfully join. Does anybody have any further tips to provide?

many thanks in advance.

best regards
Harald

Have you checked the join.log?

Hi, Christian

Thanks for replying. Yes I have looked at the join.log, but until now I have not been able to interpret it properly.

However, I now try to join with this command:

univention-join -dcaccount -type domaincontroller_slave -verbose

which looks more promising. Unlike before, the problem now is downloading host certificate due to permission problems:

Could not chdir to home directory /dev/null: Not a directory
scp: /etc/univention/ssl/DEBFIL: Permission denied
Could not chdir to home directory /dev/null: Not a directory
scp: /etc/univention/ssl/DEBFIL.ad.obib.no: Permission denied

  • ‘[’ -d /etc/univention/ssl/DEBFIL ‘]’
  • ‘[’ 5 -gt 30 ‘]’
  • echo -n .
  • sleep 20
  • true
  • (( counter++ ))
  • univention-scp /etc/machine.secret -q -r ‘DEBFIL$@dc01.ad.obib.no:/etc/univention/ssl/DEBFIL’ ‘DEBFIL$@dc01.ad.obib.no:/etc/univention/ssl/DEBFIL.ad.obib.no’ /etc/univention/ssl/
    Could not chdir to home directory /dev/null: Not a directory
    scp: /etc/univention/ssl/DEBFIL: Permission denied
    Could not chdir to home directory /dev/null: Not a directory
    scp: /etc/univention/ssl/DEBFIL.ad.obib.no: Permission denied
  • ‘[’ -d /etc/univention/ssl/DEBFIL ‘]’
  • ‘[’ 6 -gt 30 ‘]’
  • echo -n .
  • sleep 20
    ^C

This surely should be easily solveable?

Best regards
Harald

OK, I changed the group to “DC Slave Hosts”, and now I am able to download the certs at least, but still no luck with the listener-install.

Hi,

I am still not ready to let my slave DC go, as I am having trouble getting the shares on it up on other servers at the moment. I would appreciate any tips on ways to attempt joining the computer to the domain. Could it for instance be possible to join it as a backup controller instead of slave?

best regards
Harald
