Hostname Changer Access Denied, Code = 5

when updating the different groups with the AD details and what snapins they should include, upon pressing ‘Update’ on the page it says it’s updated, but when I go back to check the details the fields are blank.

What version of fog are you on?

I’ll try updating tomorrow and see if that resolves the issue.

Ok. If it’s still broke after that, I’ll try to replicate.

[RobTitian16]

@wayne-workman I have updated, though I wasn’t prompted when connecting to the FOG web GUI to update the database. It’s still showing that my FOG version is the same as well.

[Wayne Workman]

@robtitian16 Do me a favor - open two tabs in your browser. One on the host’s Active Directory tab, one on the Apache error log viewer. The log viewer is somewhere in web gui -> FOG Configuration -> log viewer or something
Try to update the OU field as you did before, then immediately look at the Apache error log for any errors.

@wayne-workman I get the following:

Strangely, the first group I made (well over a year ago) is perfectly fine; it’s all the groups I created the other day that are having the issue.

To clarify, are you trying to set the OU on individual hosts, or via groups?

[RobTitian16]

@wayne-workman Groups, not hosts.

[Wayne Workman]

At this point, it’s very likely this is a bug, so moved this to bug reports.

[Tom Elliott]

Is the password typed into (Domain Password (will auto-encrypt plaintext)) actually plaintext for the “real” password of the AD Username?

I say this because the access denied REALLY seems to indicate a problem with the password.

The error logs have nothing to do with Active Directory and should pose little issue.

[RobTitian16]

@tom-elliott That part is actually resolved now. This was raised as a bug because not all of the groups are updating with the correct AD details. It’s only worked for one, which was the very first group I created. Now whenever I save the AD details and reload the page, it’s as if it never saved in the first place.
Let me know if you need anymore details/logs.

[Wayne Workman]

@Tom-Elliott the OU field isn’t saving via groups. He’s on 1.5.0-RC-10

[Tom Elliott]

@robtitian16 I’m very confused. What error, exactly, is this thread focusing on?

[RobTitian16]

@tom-elliott From the post above: “However, now when updating the different groups with the AD details and what snapins they should include, upon pressing ‘Update’ on the page it says it’s updated, but when I go back to check the details the fields are blank.”

I also posted the error messages from the Apache error log further down the page.
I’ve tried updating the group with snapins, and this hasn’t saved either, so it seems to be a general issue of saving groups, rather than a specific one of setting the Active Directory defaults in the group.

[Sebastian Roth]

@RobTitian16 Maybe do some datebase cleanup: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_MySQL#Database_Maintenance_Commands

I’ll mark this solved as the AD joining issue is actually solved. Please open a new thread if you still have the group assignment issue after the DB maintenance.
