Novell-Cifs CASA Repair Tool @ Coolsolutions

I published my Novell-Cifs CASA Repair Tool to Novell Coolsolutions.

The tool will validate CASA keys are present and the the proxy user can login.  If there is a problem, it will fix it.  Great tool to fix the following errors:

ERROR: ENTRY: DDCLogin() failed Error: -223
ERROR: ENTRY: DDCLogin() failed Error: -222
ERROR: ENTRY: DDCLogin() failed Error: -197

The tool works with OES2.x and OES11.x.  I expect it to work with OES2015 unless there are big changes in that version.

If you are running Novell Cifs this tool is a must.  Download it and have it ready, or run it as a preventative measure.

DSfW and Novell Cifs

Novell Cifs is a wonderful way to access files from a workstation not running the Novell Client.
This video shows how to install Novell Cifs and configure it to work with Domain Services for Windows.

The key is to assign the cifs proxy user to the password policy for the DSfW users.

Password Policies with DSfW

The /etc/opt/novell/xad/xad.ini file has the setting to determine if password policies are controlled by the GPO or Novell password policies. XADRETAINPOLICIES =no will use the GPO, XADRETAINPOLICIES = yes can me managed with iManager
