Ok, so FreeNAS with Open LDAP via Apple's OS X Server Open Directory is abandoned after much investment both time and financially. To get back on track with this system I installed a 2012R2 Domain Controller for authentication, single sign-on etc. with FreeNAS in this location knowing in the past with 9.2.x it was only moments to get it AD connected. Well "unable to find domain controllers" is all the farther I can get and searches come up with a bugs, fixed. then another bug same symptoms, then resolved to find another one. Went from 2012 thru Feb-2015 where last buy was resolved in 9.3 yet I am seeing it still in latest and greatest Stable release. While one bug ticket had someone missing a DNS IP address that's not the case here, single vlan, no dot1q encapsulation very simple and elegant yet expensive Mac Pro's and 3 vmware servers running against a beefy FreeNAS for NFS and iSCSI to vmware and afp to all the Mac Pro's. Open Directory I can never get an imported certificate to show in the pop down menu, it does in every other service menu but not in directory services where it counts.. Started 6pm yesterday, writing this as I leave with zero ldap integration that I sadly mistaken for a couple of hours last night to complete. I think for the first time I am on the edge with the bugs striking down every attempt at everything lately, IPMI open for weeks, ldap with Mac's no go, now AD even flakier.
Pressure valve released, ready to plan new attack, come back and get system working.. Anyone had any luck lately with newest 9.3 stable getting directory services integration ?? Open LDAP still preferred with Apple due to need for profile manager and some mac pro expenditures here to manage many apple end devices, but will do magic triangle AD, Open Directory, OS X Server if I must so I can get some rest...Hell if a nightly is working, I'd take it at this point but cant find a bug for past 2 months on same thing but honestly couldn't search much longer for it..
