Univention Bugzilla – Bug 38720
Improve error message when the wrong password was given
Last modified: 2018-07-04 18:12:26 CEST
While going through the UCS@school configuration wizard, I had a typo in the domain admin password. Several pages later in the wizard, I got an error message: > "Der UMC-Server ucs01.domain.tld kann nicht erreicht werden." So, I started looking after a problem on the master (are the services running? etc), while the actual problem was the wrong password. The logfile management-console-module-schoolinstaller.log on the school slave was more revealing: > 17.06.15 10:14:03.935 MODULE ( ERROR ) : Failed to launch UMC query: ['/usr/sbin/umc-get', '-U', 'Administrator', '-y', '/tmp/tmpZjz8fd', '-s', 'ucs01.domain.tld', 'ucr', '-l', '-o', 'ldap/base', '-o', 'ldap/master/port'] > 17.06.15 10:14:01.861 DEBUG_INIT error: authentication failed > 17.06.15 10:14:03.936 MODULE ( WARN ) : Could not query the LDAP base of the master system ucs01.domain.tld. We should extend the shown error message to something like this: "Anmeldung am UMC-Server ucs01.domain.tld fehlgeschlagen. Gegebenfalls ist der Server nicht erreichbar oder das angegebene Passwort ist nicht korrekt."
This might be fixed by UCS@school 4.1R2?
UCS@school 4.1 is not maintained anymore. In UCS@school 4.2 and 4.3 the school-installer does not request the domain administrators password anymore. Even if logged in via SAML, the UMCs password popup would check the password and create a proper error message.
OK: the code that throw that error does not exists in 4.3 anymore. -> Verified
UCS@school 4.3 v4 has been released. https://docs.software-univention.de/changelog-ucsschool-4.3v4-de.html If this error occurs again, please clone this bug.
