Can't create Open Directory domain

Using Server 3 I can't get Open Directory to work. I keep getting an error
"xxx was successfully configured as a directory server, but an error occurred."
Any ideas as to what's going on? I checked my DNS settings and they seem fine.

Hello, To whom may be concerned about this problem.
I had the same problem with my mac mini, So what I did to fix it , I delete the Server App with AppCleaner(google it) and then I turn off my computer and re-install the Operating System to my excisting OS ( this why I repair whatever was broken within the file system. You would NOT loose any Data becuase you are just re-installing) and then I download the app again , and it works.
Also you may contact Apple Server Support in the Application there is a link !
Hope this will help somebody.

Error creating new Open Directory domain

The wizard for creating a new Open Directory domain in Server.app on Mountain Lion responds with the following error message:
     "An error occurred while configuring My Server as a directory server. Please check your network configuration and try again."
Not very helpful. How do find out what the actual error is?
Thanks.

Can anyone translate these log messages?

Sims 2 - Crashes when iMac part of an open directory domain

Having a weird issue with running the The Sim 2 on my Kids machines.
Some background, we have an Aluminum intel iMac and am intel Mac Min both running Leopard 10.5.6 which are connected to an old G4 DP800 running Leopard Server 10.5.6. When I installed the Sims 2 on the iMac or the Mac Mini it crashes almost immediately when you try to run it. Got onto Aspyr, went back and forward with them and they couldn't replicate the issues.
Eventually I tried installing a fresh copy of Leopard 10.5.6 on an external USB drive and booting off that. It worked.
Now for the fun part. Having been able to run the Sims 2 successfully from this vanilla usb install of 10.5.6, I then tried adding this back into the Open Directory domain, still running form the USB drive, all I did was add the machine back into the open directory domain, I didn't reboot, I didn't log out and back in again all I did was open directory utility, added the machine to the open directory domain and then re-ran The Sims 2, and you guessed it, it was crashing again.
Just in case I did anything wrong, I repeated the whole process, and found this is repeatable, as soon as I the machine back into the open directory, then Sims 2 crashes.
The attitude from Aspyr when I related all of this to then was that I had a "non standard" setup.
It's a real pain having to keep a vanilla 10.5.6 install and having to re-boot each time to run this game, does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on this?
TIA
Dave

So I finally got it to work.
The Mavericks set up DNS assistant seems to add your local domain into the FQDN so you end up getting 'macsvr.domain.domain.com'
I uninstalled server, removed the /Library/Server folder also Server.app and two files in /Library/Preferences. Serverd.plist and servermgrd.plist.
I restarted server and let it do a first run, I set up my host name asking to set up DNS.
I then went into DNS, deactivated it and edited the domain. I then added NS and machine records, reverse lookups and finally made sure the FQDN was in the correct zone. I repeated this for the intended replica and created my OD replica on first run.
Check everything is good by using terminal, using the cmd: nslookup <ip address> for both master and replica, then: nslookup <FQDN> then: host <ip address>
This should resolve both OD master and OD replica IP and hostname
Hope this helps anyone else stuck on the set up.

hey jan :
I have another issue : I would like to use in jdeveloper JSF and primefaces, which is a component library.
but if JSF works well, I can't install primefaces : I right-click on the properties of my project, add the primefaces jar in the libraries, and add a taglib (<%@ taglib uri="http://primefaces.prime.com.tr/ui" prefix="p" %>) in my JSF page.
but I have an arror while deploying the project.
and (is it a clue?) there is no completion of the "<p: ..." tags;
but there is a window in jdeveloper : http://www.imageshotel.org/images/lolveley/apturede769cran20101017a76813.png that I can't fill ; could you help me by telling me whatr to do?
please

Anyone may help me?

It happens after a clean install and posterior data recovery through TimeMachine. With Server Admin it was imposible change Standalone to Master.
Thanks a God I have only a few users and after a hard week end I back up data and I did a new clean installation with a enterely new OD.
Thanks for your interest.

Unable to create Open Directory master

Hi,
I just setup an iMac with Mac OS X Server 10.6. During setup, I set the domain name to "hodge.local". Now I can't create an Open Directory master, and the error message gives me no clue as to how to fix the problem... I was wondering if I had done something wrong, or if there was a way to solve the problem.
Thanks in advance.

the .local is usually a bad idea for a domain in OS X. OS X uses .local for bonjour/rendezvous stuff and that can cause conflicts.
The basics when setting up an OD master - install OS X Server and run setup (which is automatic) but son;t start any services except DNS. Configure DNS, then make your server an OD master. Once that works, start other services.
For more helpful details, try this.

and post back if you try all that and still have questions.

How can I create a directory on my server using FTP in applescript?

Hi
I have created a script which successfully uploads files to my server using FTP and a curl command.
The one thing I haven't worked out how to do is how to create a directory on my server using applescript. At the moment I have to manually create the correct directory for the script to work, but would like to be able to automate everything.
Would this be possible?
Thanks
Nick

Thanks Bernard.
I have tried that and still get the error message:
"curl: Can't open '--ftp-create-dirs'!
curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- 0:00:01 --:--:-- 0
curl: (9) Server denied you to change to the given directory"
The other relevant parts of the script are:
set ftp_url to "ftp.****.org.uk/artists/" & artistName2 & "/assets/"
set ftp_username to "*****@*****.org.uk"
set ftp_password to "****"
set ftp_entire to ftp_username & ":" & ftp_password & " ftp://" & ftp_url
set outPath to outputFolder & fileCounter & ".jpg"
and then...
do shell script ("curl -T --ftp-create-dirs " & outPath & " -u " & ftp_entire)
Like I said, all works fine when the directories are already in place. I have permissions for the artists folder set to "777", i.e. writable. Because the script is trying to create two directories at once, i.e. "artistName2" and then "assets" under it, I wondered if this was significant, but then I tried with just one new directory, and still got the error.

Creating Open Directory Replica fails with Server Admin Error Value 1127

Hallo,
I have seen a lot of similar threads here and they were helpful up to a certain point, but in the end, they did not solve my problem.
Currently, it comes down to this. The Server Admin Error message ist really meaningless and I could not find a single for the error value on the whole wide web. As such, I switched to the command line versions of the tools involved to geht more meaningful results. It worked. Specifically, creating a replica of an openldap master means using slapconfig.
When executing
slapconfig -createreplica master.ourdomain.com diradmin
as root on the prospective replica machine, I get the following error message:
ssh command failed with status 127
That command is not allowed with the root account via public key authentication.
That makes perfect sense to me, but how is it meant to work then?
Executing slapconfig as admin tells me that this tool is to be executed as root. On the other hand, root login via ssh is not allowed in Mac OS X by default, which seems fine to me. I even changed /etc/sshd_config on the Open Directory Master machine to "PermitRootLogin yes". However, neither reloading ssh using launchctl nor restarting the whole server made this setting operational. Trying to login from command line as root still tells me:
root login is not permitted to this machine via public key authentication.
While this is the current state where I need help urgently, I changed some other things before. I tell about to exclude these issues as possible reason of failure. I got this message for quite a while:
Replica Setup failed : This machine does not have a valid computer name
I was sure, this machine meant the target machine, the open directory master, because the domain had changed there once before I had taken over responsibility as an admin in this environment. And in fact, changeip disguised an issue there. The command proposed by changeip to fix the situation did not seem appropriate because this machine is multihomed with a public and a private IP adress. Proper name resolution is available for both interfaces including reverse lookup. I dont like this setup, but it was the only way to get mail service running smoothly. Running changeip on the machine itself using these arguments
changeip /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 internalIP internalIP old.ours.com current.ours.com
reported success in updating password server, open directory, both interfaces, hostconfig (which in fact did not change) and samba. It reported an issue with kadmin which is related to Kerberos (we dont use Kerberos yet).
Changing the hostname of the server using changeip did not solve the issue. I then found the hint to check with scutil. This showed that the Hostname was not set on the prospective replica machine. (A question aside: in how many place is the hostname stored? The traditional /etc/hostname has gone, but seems to be replaces with several other configuration files and databases. I cant see this as an advantage). Setting the hostname using scutil worked fine. However, it did not solve the problem either. At least, slapconfig now started to complain about not being able to log in as root instead of failing from the start.
I also checked all log files on bboth machines that might have to do with openldap, as there are /var/log/slapd.log, /var/log/system.log and /Library/Log/slapconfig.log. I also checked the log of th layer on top of openldap which is /Library/Log/DirectoryService.server.log. None of them revealed anything noticeable beside a lot of of entries that I have googled in the last few hours and which all dont seem to be associated with the problem in question.
I will take a break now, but I have to fix this until tomorrow and I hope to get the ultimate hint from you, dear reader.
Thanks and bye, Christian Völker

ssh command failed with status 127
That command is not allowed with the root account via public key authentication.
Initial OD replication takes place via 'ssh'. If you have 'sshd' configured on the OD Master to authenticate with public keys then the OD replica will not be able to communicate with the OD Master via 'ssh'. You must configure the OD Master to use 'ssh' with password authentication and root login enabled.
Demote the replica back to standalone. Stop any services that you may have running on the primary network interface. Then stop any services that you may have running on the secondary network interface. In the 'Network' System Prefpane remove the IP number from the secondary interface then deactivate the secondary network interface.
Assign the private IP address and hostname that you wish to use for the replica to the primary network interface. Assign the 'public' IP number to the secondary interface. Check the DNS to see that the IP address and hostname for the primary network interface resolve both forward and reverse for the hostname of the replica that you have chosen. If it does not, fix your DNS before proceeding.
In the 'Sharing' System Prefpane, change the name of the machine to the hostname (server.domain.tld) of the replica that you have chosen. Then use 'changeip -checkhostname' to see if the IP/hostname matches. Fix it if it doesn't.
Then configure the /etc/sshd_config file on the OD master like this:
\# Authentication:
PermitRootLogin yes
PasswordAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication no
and the /etc/ssh_config file on the OD replica like this:
PasswordAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication no
Then from the OD replica as the 'root' user issue:
slapconfig -createreplica <ODMasterIPorFQDN> <diradmin user>
Make sure that the 'diradmin' user's password contains only alpha-numeric characters -no 'option-characters' or symbols, change it first if it does. Once the process completes, reactivate the secondary interface for the 'public' IP and check the configuration of services that will be using that IP, then start your other services. Secure the 'ssh' service on both machines to disable password authentication and 'root' logins.

Exception in servermgr_accounts when creating open directory master...

Just to give you some background, I'm new to Mac Os X Server. And I'm trying to get a mail/ical/web-server with "open directory" setup. The server is placed in a remote location, behind a NAT-firewall.
I thought I hade everything setup, took a while to figure out the DNS-configs. But I managed to get everything working, and apply the server through a NetworkAccountServer on a client.
When I wanted to setup some e-mail aliases for my e-mail accounts, I remembered I hade seen that in "Server Preferences".
But when opening "Server Preferences" i got the following message:
"Multiple errors occurred on the server while processing commands. Use the Console application to view the error messages.", I could access everything accept Users and Groups, when clicking these it tried to create a new open directory.
The Console App shows this Message:

I tried reseting the "Open Directory Service" in "Server Admin", by setting it to "standalone directory".
It did stop the "Open directory", but the console was again showing the message above.
With the server in stand-alone mode, I could access "Server Preferences" again, but as soon as I create an "Open Directory again", it fails with the above error, and I cant access the Open Directory from Server Preferences.
To summarize, the message shows when:
1. Creating an Open Directory Master.
2. Removing a Open Directory Master.
3. Entering Server Preferences with Open Directory Master running.
A wierd thing is that the "Open directory" seems to be fine. I can manage it in "Workgroup manager", login to webmail, calenders, VPN etc. I just can't manage it from "Server Preferences".
I did make som misstakes in the beginning (primarly not setting a proper host-name before creating the first "Open Directory", and also having a local-user with the same short-name as a user in the "Open Directory") But that should all solved now.
Any Idea's on what could be wrong?
Where else can I set e-mail aliases for my "Open Directory" users? Is it possible for them to administer aliases themselves?
Thanks in advance!
PS. Anyone have any tips on mail-forwarding to multiple external accounts? Do I really need to edit this manually in /etc/postfix/aliases? Is there anyway I can let my users administer forwarding?

If anyone else has similar issues, I didn't find a solution. Re-installed the server from scratch...

Can I create a directory database in Numbers, like I have done in Access?

I have a database in Access that I converted to numbers for the data, but I want to create a directory with merge fields so that its easier to read and pretty to look at. Can this be done in Numbers or Pages? or is there another program comparable to Microsoft Access that I need to get. Is there freeware that would do the trick? thanks.

thanks for offering your help. I have about 120 contacts in one database with about 20 fields for each contact: name, phn, birthday, anniv, email, address, hobbies, heritage, etc. I guess about 5 or 6 contacts would fit on a page.
I also have another database that is quite smaller. only about 68 contacts, with just 9 or 10 fields per contact. Last Name, First Name, Unit, Home Phone, Cell Phone, EMail Address, Alt Email, Alt Cell Phone, Additional. I would like the option to add fields as this document grows.
I searched online for some database management software but it seems that you need to know programing. I inherited the access database listed first so I only had to tweek things, copy and paste fields, I did not have to create it from scratch. Am I looking for the wrong type of program? Is there a program out there that makes simple directories? Or is there an easy way to create a merge document (In Pages or Numbers) to have multiple contacts on one page. Like a label? I am able to create a merge form letter, but can not figure out how to get multiple contacts on a page. I am not planning to give up on my Mac. I am committed to is as I have spent a few thousand dollars to get this, But I just need to know how to get started.
Thanks again for your help. Toni

Unable to set up Kerberos when creating Open Directory Master-beginner!

I'm trying to promote a standalone server to an Open Directory master.
In the Kerberos section I am typing my FQDN into the Realm field
which is studioserver.example.com.
However the searchbase is already filled with dc=studioserver,dc=local
I've tried every different permutation but when I save the settings, the overview shows that Kerberos is stopped and therefore no KDC is created.
I've used Lookup to confirm that DNS is ok...could this still be the problem?
Any help much appreciated.

Hi
If DNS is configured correctly then the Kerberos Realm and search base fields will be both filled in automatically. The only difficult you have to do is decide on the Directory Administrator name and password and click OK.
The only way out of this is to demote back to Standalone. This will trash the LDAP configuration and database effectively allowing you to start again. Export any users and groups first. Home folders (if you have created any) will not be affected.
Go back and stop the DNS Service and delete the configuration you have in there, stop any other service you have running as well as deleting any configuration that depends on DNS. If you have configured DHCP, stop this and delete the configuration. Restart the server. Start simple file services first, AFP etc and then move onto DNS. Make sure this is resolving correctly. Avoid .local.
Follow the instructions given in the first thread.

Can not create/open Query/Display template from workbench

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in my MII Workbench. From MII Menu page I can open the workbench. There is no error to open it. Now when in the workbench I like to open a display template, I can not do that and I get a error message - Error on Load For <object name>: Template file type iGrid and document type <object name> do not match. When I like to create one diplay template of iGrid type I get an error message Template type iGrid and Document type iGrid do not match. I get this error message to create/open any type of MII Object except BLS.
My guess is that - It is a problem of my local workstation (like problem with JREor IE), because when I do this from other workstation (using same MII user id) it works fine.
JRE of my local system 1.5.0_16
IE is 6.0
Any help?
Thanks,
Soumen

Soumen,
There are a number of potential causes and this is not an unknown problem. I do not know your system configuration, so can't give any specific suggestions.
However, if you do a search on this message board with the three words "Open" "Template" "Workbench" you will get a list of recent postings from people who have both had this problem and gotten resolution to it.
Good reading and good luck!

How can I create a directory chooser?

hi there
is there any way to create a directory chooser? because it is the directory that I am more interested in, but with JFileChooser, I must select a file to get a directory. help please, and thank you.

Just a followup regarding directory choosers.
I previously attempted to use the JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY selection to make a directory chooser, but found that this didn't allow the user to descend into the wanted directory, then select it.
The following code shows my attempt to resolve this. BTW, this works because the assumption has been made that when a directory is descended into, its name will appear in the file name field.
JFileChooser browser = new JFileChooser(System.getProperty("user.dir"));
               browser.removeChoosableFileFilter(browser.getAcceptAllFileFilter());
               browser.addChoosableFileFilter(new DirectoriesOnlyFilter());
               //This method will set the dialog type to custom via setDialogType(CUSTOM_DIALOG);
               if (browser.showDialog(this, "Select") != JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
                    return;
               File location = browser.getSelectedFile();
               if (!location.exists())
                    String dirName = location.getName();
                    //Find the requested directory by looking at the parent directory
                    location = location.getParentFile();
                    if (location.exists() && location.getName().equals(dirName))
                         //User has descended into the wanted directory -
                    else
                         //Cannot resolve the requested directory

}Hope this helps.

Can you create an iWeb domain from an iWeb sight?

What happens if the computer you are using to create the iWeb crashes? Your iWeb page is still out there but the domain in Application Support/iWeb is now gone. Can I recreate that from the original site? I feel kind of dumb creating a whole new site that is still active.
This first came up because we run mobile accounts in our school. I only sync the desktop and documents folders. Then when a student moved to a new computer, the domain was not there. Or at least that is what I discovered. What they saw was when they opened iWeb, all the work they just did was gone. It wanted to start over. Even though what they had done prior was still on the web.
I am getting ready to show some of my teachers iWeb. I don't want them to have this same problem. Their sites may be quite extensive. And that much work to go lost would be a shame.

Hi Brian,
iWeb's Domain file is kept in the user's Home folder Library:
Users/username/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain
I think the easiest thing to do in your situation when you're finished working is just copy the Domain file to a usb flash thumb drive. Then you have your work with you and you can open and edit your site(s) from any machine running the same version of iWeb.
Remember also that flash drives can/will fail at some point. If you are building large sites it's not a bad idea to burn a copy of the Domain to a DVD now and then.
