NFS and  LDAP on different servers: Problems with location of home director

Dear Apple Experts.
We are using LDAP server for user authentification
and NFS server for home directories.
Both are decictaed servers on differnt machines.
on the NFS server there are directories
/home/urpi
for staff's home directories
and
/home/students
for student's home directories
both are mounted to the Mac minis in
/Users directory
so
/Users/urpi
contains home directories for staff
/Users/students
contains home directories for students
Authentification works well andpermission are set as needed
but OS X shows missing home directories for LDAP authentificated users
and terminal shows missing home directory
for me it is
/home/urpi/fodrek
I was tried to mount NFS to /home, but it is not allowed
Would I ask if there is any setting to add directories, where home directories are placed,please?
I look forward hearing form you.
Yours faithfully
Peter Fodrek

So none of these machines are Snow Leopard servers?
What exactly do you mean when you say you tried to mount the NFS share to home? Can you copy and paste the command and error?
It sounds as though you don't actually have the NFS shares mounted. Assuming this is so, you might want to investigate how the automount command works so that your MacMinis mount the NFS shares on boot.
If your NFS/LDAP server is an OS X 10.6 server, set the shares to be automounted as user/group directories. Make sure your LDAP server is providing correct information on the home directory location. If it is local, I think the home directories need to be in /Users. If your mounts are indeed working but you cannot login, you might consider making links from /Users to /home/urpi or /home/students on an account-by-account basis (could be done with a quick shell script).

  • ADS in ABAP and JAVA on different servers

    Dear community,
    I need to run ADS with  ABAP and JAVA on different servers but after read and apply every step on The ADS Configuration Guide, still getting doubts and problems. Those steps work succesfully on a server with ABAP+JAVA on same server. Those are the problems:
    When I perform the report test FP_TEST_00 i get this error:
    ADS: com.adobe.ProcessingException: Problem accessing d(200101)
    I haven't found a a detailed procedure to set on ABAP and JAVA on different servers...
    Do you know any procedure to set this scenario??
    As a result, I don't know which role i must assign to adsuser on Java UME because i did not found any SAP_ADSCALLER role as i have ridden on some forums or blogs...
    I try to set ADS on ABAP+JAVA on different servers by this official guides:

    HI again,
    ADS_AGENT now has sap_all but still same problem:
    Creating or Changing the Destination Service, On Visual Administrator/Destinations/HTTP/ FP_ICF_DATA_<SID>
    When I set the URL http://<hostname>:<HTTP_port> i am getting error Received HTTP response 502
    - If I paste the http://<hostname>:<HTTP_port>  +
    - Enter the appropriate client number of the system, where the service user ADS_AGENT exists into the client field. Keep the other fields System ID and Language empty +
    - Under Logon Data, choose BASIC in the Authentication field. +
    - Enter ADS_AGENT in the Username field and enter the same password as given for this service user in the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP in the Password field
    - Choose Save and Test and  Received HTTP response 502 appears.
    But if I paste on Explorer  http://<hostname>:<HTTP_port>/sap/bc/fp/form/layout/fp_test_00.xdp, request User (ADS_AGENT) +Pwd and work ok, so error only appears by Visual Administrator...
    Anybody knows how can resolve this doubt?
    Thanks in advance

  • 10g: HTTP Server and OC4J on different servers?

    Can anyone assist with configuring HTTP Server and OC4J on different servers?
    I installed AS 10g on both; our application runs fine on one server, with the HTTP Server and OC4J both on the same box.
    I need to also test this with the HTTP Server on a separate box.
    I added this to mod_ocj4.conf:
    Oc4jMount /indox-qa1
    instance://cvodev2:oas_dev2.cvodev2.int.sys.com:indox-qa1
    Oc4jMount /indox-qa1/*
    instance://cvodev2:oas_dev2.cvodev2.int.sys.com:indox-qa1
    But when I try to access something like http://cvodev4/indox-qa1 I get this in the logs:
    [Wed Jul 06 16:54:10 2005] [warn] [client 10.1.1.231] [ecid: 1120683250:192.152.136.127:1248:1544:1,0] MOD_OC4J_0184: Failed to find an oc4j process for destination: instance://cvodev2.int.camsys.com:oas_dev2.cvodev2.int.camsys.com:indor-qa1

    I did some ethernet sniffing and it doesn't look to me like the OHS box is even trying to contact the OC4J box.
    Is there more configuration I need to do beyond this?
    Thanks,

  • I keep getting adobe script problems. I have 3.6.13 version and have never had this problems with prior versions

    I can't find a solution to the adobe flashplayer that is associatied with Firefox. I keep getting script problems and am asked to either continue or ignore the problem. I've been a long-time user of Firefox and have never had any problems with Firefox or any associated programs (plug-ins) and so this is a surprise to me. I checked the version of the flashplayer and find that I have the most current version; so I'm not sure what's going on.

    I have upgraded Apple Aperture from version 2 to version 3 and I'm having a problem with the "Highlights and Shadows" adjustment. According to the user's manual, I should have access to an advanced disclosure triangle which would allow me to adjust mid contrast, colour, radius, high tonal width and low tonal width.
    If anyone has any suggestions as to how to access this advanced section, I'd be most grateful.

    Hi David-
    The advanced adjustments in the Highlights & Shadows tool were combined into the "Mid Contrast" slider in Aperture 3.3 and later. If you have any images in your library that were processed in a version of Aperture before 3.3, there will be an Upgrade button in the Highlights & Shadows tool in the upper right, and the controls you asked about under the Advanced section. Clicking the Upgrade button will re-render the photo using the new version of Highlights & Shadows, and the Advanced section will be replaced with the new Mid Contrast slider. With the new version from 3.3 you probably don't need the Advanced slider, but if you want to use the older version you can download it from this page:

    The warranty for the iPhone is not and has never been International.
    Warranty and support are ONLY valid in the country of origin.  The only exception is the EU where the entire EU is treated as one country.
    If the device will be used in India, buy it in India.
    An unlocked iPhone will work on any supported GSM carrier world wide.  The LTE portion of a US purchased, unlocked iPhone is unlikely to work outside North America as it does not support the appropriate bands used in other countries.

  • I have Windows 7 and just recently experienced a problem with itunes freezing up when I clicked on the "apps" tab.  Everything else seems to work okay in itunes.  I have uninstalled it and reloaded it 4 or 5 times, but still freezes up.

    I have Windows 7 and just recently experienced a problem with itunes freezing up when I clicked on the "apps" tab which shows the apps that are loaded on my phone.  Everything else in the itunes software seems to be working okay.  The problem is in the part where you sync the newly purchased apps.  The apps will all be blank that are downloaded and that part of the software crashes itunes or freezes up.  I can get out of itunes okay after the freeze up, but it just stops me from syncing anything that I have newly added.  If anyone has had this problem before or knows someone that has, please let me know how I can fix it.  I have uninstalled and reloaded itunes 4 or 5 times, but the problem is still there.  I might add that I have been using itunes and purchasing apps for 2 to 3 years without any problems.  HELP.

    You would get better response from the iTunes community forum.
    Have a nice day!

  • I have a problem when using Google Maps, at some point my computer blanks the window and says there's a problem with display drivers, and it has recovered,but it doesn't. Problem doesn't happen with Int Explorrer, so I do not believe it is the computer

    When using google maps through Firefox, after asking for a place which is not the general North America section which routinely comes up, the firefox screen goes white, with a narrow banner at the top. A message appears in the lower right corner which says something about display drivers having had a problem, but now have recovered. However the display doesn't recover and the banner message is that Firefox is not responding. When I go to restart Firefox if I go to the restore point, the page is still frozen out.
    I do not believe it is a problem with my computer because it doesn't happen if I use I.E. to go to google maps, then G-maps works normally.
    This phenomenon did not happen before the latest upgrade to either Google or Firefox. I have used Fiefox for a number of years and also Google Maps on previous computers and on this one, and not had this before.
    This is a relatively young computer (Asus EeSlate 121) less than a year old. I have used Firefox since I bought it and until recently had no problem with Google Maps.

    I solved it myself, after the "note" which came back from FF/Mozilla just as I finished my message, commenting on what it was that my system had , I wnnt back to check my plug-ins etc. I downloaded the latest Java, BOTH 32bit AND 64 bit versions and latest Firefox.
    Now all is working.
    Thanks,
    B.

  • Both xp and windows 7 have video problems with my VGA connection using TV

    both xp and windows 7 have video problems with my VGA connection using TV as my monitor when it gets to starting up windows no matter what version it will not I have let my mac on all night and still says starting windows or the windows 7 logo and nothing else will happen also when I use a 3rd patty software like peraills or other it works like a charm how to fix it?

    To map the drive on your computer click on Start - RUN - type "\\192.168.1.1" and click ok... When prompted for Username and Password type "admin" and click ok... Now you will be able to see the folder which you have shared on  your router, right click on it and select "Map network drive" and click on finish.
    Now it will map the drive on your computer and you should be able to transfer the file from your computer to the USB drive.

    No you just need to turn on Tap to Click. Go into System Preferences - Trackpad and click the Point to Click tab and select the first box which will say Tap to Click and you should be in business.

    Thanks!

    You may have a hard drive problem. When I installed Lion, the installer told me that it couldn't complete because the hard drive was failing (or broken, the exact words escape me). Since the HD had been functioning just fine, I took it to the Genius Bar, and found out that yes, the hard drive was slowly dying (bad sectors). I couldn't reboot into Snow Leopard, the installer wouldn't let me and then the drive just wouldn't work at all.
    I had to replace my drive and restore from Time Machine. Thankfully, I had Time Machine, and had just done a backup 5 minutes before the crash.
    Best of luck.

    Have you tried signing out of your iTunes & App Store on your device and then back in again - Settings>iTunes & App Store, click on Apple ID, then on Sign Out. Then sign in again and see if it accepts the password.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue,  try resetting your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the reset is complete, the Slide to Unlock screen will display. See if the problem is resolved.
