Problem

A Forum reader recently asked:

"I am installing the first Windows Server 2003-based eDirectory in our network. The master replica server is a Netware 6 server. During the eDirectory installation, the SNMP Support for eDirectory window appears asking for authentication. No matter what format I use for authentication, the server returns a "Unable to login as
user.context.tree. Error code: -634"."

And here's the response from David Gersic ...

Solution

This is somewhat of a "stupid" problem, with a "stupid" solution:

1. Create a user object somewhere in your tree.

2. Set the password on this object.

3. When the SNMP login box comes up, give it this user and password and tell it to remember the settings (checkbox).

4. Click OK.

Problem solved.

It was contributed by a community member and is published "as is." It seems to have worked for at least one person, and might work for you. But please be sure to test, test, test before you do anything drastic with it.
