18.1 Backing Up a Container
While using ndsbackup to backup a container that has many objects (like a million), it might take
some time to get the list of the objects in the container and start their individual backup.
18.2 Repeated eDirectory Logins
Repeated eDirectory logins can use up the available memory. Disable the Login Update attribute
using ndsimonitor to overcome this problem.
18.3 NDS Error, System Failure (-632) Occurs
When Doing ldapsearch for the User Objects
Import the user objects with simple password and then enable universal password for the container
where the user objects are imported. Stop the DS server and set the environment as
NDSD_TRY_NMASLOGIN_FIRST=true and then start DS Server. Then when you do and
ldapsearch for the user objects, which were imported with simple password, you get the following
error:
ldap_bind: Unknown error , additional info: NDS error: system failure
(-632)
To resolve this issue, set the default login sequence as simple password for the container where user
objects are imported before doing ldapsearch for those user objects.
When LDAP requests NMAS to log in a user, NMAS uses the default login sequence. If you do not
specify a default login sequence for these users, then it will use the NDS sequence. If these users are
not given an NDS password when you imported them, then the NDS sequence will not work. If you
enable universal password, then the simple password will be synchronized with the NDS password
and universal password when the user logs in with the simple password.
