If you only have your non-root user id's in LDAP and not any of the service ids like sshd, mysql, etc there should be no problem. xCAT does not do anything specific for LDAP, but maybe some service it is using is affected. What database are you running? You entry in syslog is normal . I assume you just edited out the real date,time hostaneme.
One thing you could try is when LDAP is messes up, try a database command from the command line. What database are you running? Lissa K.

Hi all, got a SLES 11.2 server running xCAT 2.8 and OpenLDAP 2.4.26. The LDAP occasionally does nasty things. Also, we have some problems on the cluster that maybe could be xCAT related. Taking a look at the syslog I see messages like this: [date, time, hostname] xCAT: xCAT: Allowing tabdump osimage for root from localhost One time while LDAP was messing around I tried to lsdef and tabdump, which both did not work. Or at least, not immediately - I cancelled the command. Unfortunately, did not think to wait if it would work after some waiting time... So, summing up the syslog messages and the behavior that tabdump doesn't work while LDAP is messing around, I conclude that xCAT sends an authorization request for some actions which in our case might be sent to LDAP. Is this conclusion correct? At the moment I do not yet have enough evidence to draw this link between xCAT and LDAP for sure. Additionally, I do not (yet) know how to trigger the LDAP error so that I have to wait until it occurs... And since we must solve this problem asap, I'm asking here.
