[Zope] Re: [Exuserfolder-users] Failed domain controller has killed my site

| Hi,
| 
| I've been happily using exUserFolder for ages, but today it's screwed my
| site completely.
| 
| We have been authenticating against a domain controller, but this has
| died today, and as a result, I can no longer access the folders in which
| the XUF user folder had 'control', and therefore can't access the XUF to
| change DC...
| 
| I've tried as an emergency user, but that just throws:
| 
| Error Type: AttributeError
| Error Value: _getCacheableDict
| 
| for accessing any folders below the XUF
| 
| Anyone _any_ ideas on how to fix this? I've got a lot of annoyed users
| at the moment...

ideas;

o Login in as a Manager and try to manually call the URL..
  /path/to/acl_users/manage_editAuthSource?host=...&domain=...

o Login as a Manager and delete the XUF?

o If you used a hostname for the domain controller alias it in /etc/hosts to
  point to the new controller...

o If you used an IP use ipchains or some other packet filter to divert smb
  traffic to the new controller...

o Bring up the new domain controller with the old IP address/hostname for
  a few minutes and do the change.

o Bring up another box on the old IP/host and divert smb traffic to new 
  controller and do the change...

erm that's off the top of my head..
