@george1421 Do you we an older version of LDAP plugin somewhere I can try? Thanks.

@george1421 I have a working server running FOG 1.5.6.2 on Debian with the same settings using an older version of LDAP plugin with an encrypted password and it’s working fine. I tested my bind user account un-encrypted password and it’s working fine. The only differences are encrypted pw vs none. I’ll do more tests to see why it’s not working. My apologies for being a pest and thank you very much for all the help.

@george1421 I went to FOG settings and put in AD password in FOG_AD_DEFAULT_PASSWORD under Active Directory Defaults. The password gets encrypted automatically in the web UI. LDAP doesn’t do that. Should it get encrypted the same way?

@george1421 I have bind DN in DN format. Where in the web UI I can go to encrypt the password?

Hello All,

I’m running FOG Version 1.5.7.753 and trying to configure LDAP plugin 1.6. I can’t find FOGCRYPT anymore. Does it still require to encrypt Bind Password? I’ve tried Bind Password w/o encryption but I can’t log using AD account.

@Daniel-Miller Thanks Daniel. They use puppet. I’ll shoot them an email.

Thanks again everyone for all the help.

@Sebastian-Roth You are right. vsftpd service wasn’t running. I have noticed vsftpd service gets disabled/deleted after a period of time or on reboot. xinetd and tftp service turns of by itself. I followed instructions on wiki page to disable selinux but it keeps on coming back. Any idea why?

@Sebastian-Roth Storage Node unable to connect and create a new image in Images/Create new images

I re-ran the installation. Everything was working properly. I rebooted the server. the same issues came back. Re-ran installation, issue fixed. How do I make sure all of the required services are running?

@Daniel-Miller I was able to update database schema. I have to created the account with localhost and altered fogstorage account and set the host to ‘%’ but storage node and create new image still didn’t work. Then I deleted fogstorage and fog database and uninstalled fog and then reinstalled FOG and was able to update database schema without issue. But Storage node and creating new image still don’t work. I’m pretty sure there are some settings in mysql that is causing this.

@Daniel-Miller I did flush privileges a few times before reporting it. I even restarted the server a few times/ stopped/started mysql but no go.

@Sebastian-Roth No more. Just that single line.

@Daniel-Miller You are right. I checked my other fog server and it does have a wildcard but this one is localhost.

i’m getting this error when creating one using the wildcard (after dropping fogstorage user).
ERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation CREATE USER failed for ‘fogstorage’@‘%’

±--------------±--------------+
| user | host |

| fogstorage | localhost |

@Daniel-Miller mysql does not allow using the wildcard. How do i get around it? This might be related to freezing screen when clicking on “Create New Image” and “No master nodes available” when listing all images?

I was able to go pass that stage by changing ‘%’ to localhost. I’m not sure if it does any harm. I’m getting “Storage Node Update Warning Unable to connect using ip, user, and/or password provided!” I confirmed that fogproject account has proper access to /images folder. Any thoughts?

I took are of password policy issue but getting a new error

“HY000”,1396,“Operation CREATE USER failed for ‘fogstorage’@‘%’”]. It doesn’t look like empty hostname as ‘%’.

@Tom-Elliott Thank you Tom. It looks like password for fogstorage account password does not meet password policy requirement. Where do I go to change it? I searched in the forums and it looks like there is a fix for it by disabling password validation in mysql https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11378/fog-show-me-blank-page-on-fresh-install-ubuntu-16-04/12. It would be more ideal if I can change it to a stronger password to meet password policy.

@Daniel-Miller fog schema update or similar name does not exist in /var/log/fog. Could it be somewhere that I’m not aware of?

@Sebastian-Roth No error in mysqld log.

@Sebastian-Roth Thank you for pointing me to the right direction. It was mysqld.pid file that was missing. I created it and re-ran the installation and reached to the point where it asks to update database schema but getting Schema Update Fail. Unable to update schema. I put in the same password during the installation where it asked “Is the MySQL password blank?”. I’m able to mysql -u root -p and put in that same password.
