Having restored a 'broken' Domain Controller (Zentyal) from a snapshot, I had to rejoin all the windows devices to the domain. My Fedora workstation has proved somewhat more difficult.

I have been able to successfully rejoin my Fedora workstation to the domain, but I am unable to login to the workstation using any domain user (whether one that has previously logged on, or a new account).

When I try to login with a domain account I get an error of "sorry, that didn't work, please try again".

However, when I take the workstation offline (i.e. disconnect from the network), I can login with an old (cached) password. Whilst logged in, I can reconnect to the network and access all my resources that are not Windows orientated.

I have found a few references to similar issues, and I have attempted to resolve my issue following their solutions but to no avail. Help, would be gratefully received.

Other information: -

• Not surprisingly, the cached password stays the same when I change the domain users password.
• On one account, I get notification that the password is about to expire (which it is) before I get the error message "sorry, that didn't work, please try again".
• The problem persists regardless of whether I use the GUI or text mode.
• If I try to reconnect via the Enterprise Login (Kerberos) Account (in Online Accounts) the error message reads "Error connecting to the Enterprise identity server: Timeout was reached".
• The domain controller is Zentyal 4.2.11

Thanks in advance.

Thank you sideburns for pulling me out of the rabbit hole. Logs are as follows, from pre login attempt to the time I pull the network cable out of my machine so I can login: -
