[LON-CAPA-admin] domain coordinator cannot log in on new system

[Gerd Kortemeyer]

Hi,

My guess is that your machine does not talk to itself. What are the entries in the domain and host tables, and is DNS recognized?

So I created another domain coordinator, again using /root/loncapa-2.10.1/loncom/build/make_domain_coordinator.pl and that one could not log in either. I tried expiring bsudc's privs with /root/loncapa-2.10.1/loncom/build/expire_DC_role.pl and readding with add_domain_coordinator_privilege.pl, but that simply failed. So I deleted the two users I had created using deluser (and delgroup) and tried again from the beginning. I restarted loncontrol and tried again to log in as bsudc. This time I get:
