Problems on MacOSX if in an AD domain?

[samo_dadela]

1. Just installed it on MacOSX 10.7 (nx 4.2.22_1) . When the system is rebooted and I connect I get a black screen – can’t see the login screen.

I then log in (at the console) and nx works.

2. I wanted to disable the service and I get the credentials dialog. I entered my log-in credentials (I have admin) rights but it would not accept them. Tried: username/password, username@domain.com/password, DOMAIN\username/password.

For 2. the problem might be that I’m joined into an AD domain.

Hello,

Regarding your second problem. Could you please give us the outputs of the following commands:

sudo -V

sudo -l -U <user>

Could you also tell us how do you put credentials for su / sudo commands on this Mac? Is it in username/password or username@domain/password or DOMAIN\username/password format? It would be very helpful if, after reproducing the issue, you would send us /Library/Application Support/NoMachine/var/log/nxerror.log file. You can attach it to the forum post, or it it’s too big (it shouldn’t be) – send it to issues[at]nomachine[dot]com. Thank you.

Please send the whole ‘/Library/Application Support/NoMachine/var/log/’. That will be useful also for the first problem.

I installed 4.2.25 – the same happens.

There is nothing being logged when the login fails in /Library/…NoMachine/var/log.

I also trying to provide a local user with admin priviledges -> I’m unable to authenticate. I can’t change the connection preferences.

$ sudo -V
Sudo version 1.7.4p6a

$ sudo -l -U samod
Matching Defaults entries for samod on this host:
env_reset, env_keep+=BLOCKSIZE, env_keep+=”COLORFGBG COLORTERM”,
env_keep+=__CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING, env_keep+=”CHARSET LANG LANGUAGE LC_ALL LC_COLLATE

env_keep+=LSCOLORS, env_keep+=SSH_AUTH_SOCK, env_keep+=TZ, env_keep+=”DISPLAY XAUTHORIZATION

User samod may run the following commands on this host:
(ALL) ALL
(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

/etc/sudoers:

samod  ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

When you join the mac to the domain, the user can use their short name. For example: samod@mydomain.com, then use samod. SSH will also accept samod@mydomain.com  as the username. However it’s better to use the short name.

The mac is setup so, that when you first login as a domain user, an account is created.

BTW: I’m still experiencing 1. in 2.2.25.

Hello,

You say that the first problem is still reproducible in 4.2.25. Is the second one also still present? If so – could you please send us compressed /Library/Application Support/NoMachine/var/log directory? You can attach it to the forum post, or it it’s too big – send it to issues[at]nomachine[dot]com.

Thank you.
