Symptoms

The following exception is reported when starting up Stash:

2013-11-08 00:54:16,702 ERROR [scheduler_Worker-8]  c.a.c.d.DbCachingDirectoryPoller Error occurred while refreshing the cache for directory [ 229377 ].
com.atlassian.crowd.exception.OperationFailedException: org.springframework.ldap.CommunicationException: GR.LOCAL:389; nested exception is javax.naming.CommunicationException: GR.LOCAL:389 [Root exception is java.net.UnknownHostException: GR.LOCAL]

Cause

The LDAP search received a follow-referral to another domain controller at 'GR.LOCAL' but this host is unreachable due to some DNS configuration issue.

Resolution

Disable the follow-referral property in Stash, if not required.

If required, check the hosts file and enter the above host to it.
