Environment

iPrint Appliance 4.x

Situation

Within the iprint-auth log file, the following error is seen:
[LDAP: error code 80 - NDS error: ds locked (-663)]

Resolution

No action required.  This message is not indicative of a problem.

Cause

This is an expected message that appears at midnight if an LDAP sync is running at that time. The message appears because two things are happening at the same time:  LDAP import of users, and NDS is unload and closed due to the Print Manager database backup to eDir.

After  backup is completed, eDir opens and loads again. The LDAP import process continues without issue.
