Error: "-632 System Failure" logging into NDS on UNIX
Error: "-634 No Referrals" logging into NDS on UNIX
Error: "-626 All Referrals Failed logging into NDS on UNIX
LDAP services fail to install
NDS Server fails to install
ndslogin fails with a -632 error
cause
SLP has not been correctly configured on the network. Therefore, the UNIX server cannot locate other NDS servers.
fix
Configure SLP on the network. For a NetWare network, see TID #10027163 - Configuring SLP for a NetWare server.
Workaround: place the UNIX server on the same subnet as the server holding the master replica of the [Root] partition.
Workaround: Make sure the server is patched to SP1 for NDS Corporate Edition on Unix. Populate the /etc/hosts.nds file with the IP addresses of the necessary servers to contact so that SLP configuration is not necessary.
