Description: If the Active Directory user is denied access possibly the user is not assigned a valid UID.
Cause: Run the nitconfig get command and check if ad-uid-generate-mode parameter is set to 0. Setting this parameter to 0 means NIT operates in Fetch mode for Active Directory users and tries to fetch UIDs for those users from Active Directory. If the users do not have UIDs assigned in Active Directory you might encounter this error.
Action: When you choose to fetch UID for Active Directory users, NIT fetches the uidNumber attribute set in Active Directory for all the Active Directory users. If UID is not set for a particular user, that user cannot access NSS file systems. If you are configuring NIT in fetch mode for Active Directory users, ensure that the Active Directory users who require access to NSS filesystems have UID numbers set in the Active Directory. Add the uidNumber attribute explicitly to the Global Catalog server as it is not part of default attributes. For more information about replicating UID numbers to the Global Catalog server, refer to the Microsoft Support website.
Description: eDirectory is down and NIT is not able to fetch tree name.
Action:
Start eDirectory by running the rcndsd start command.
Start NIT by running the rcnovell-nit start command.
