Problems using the reset password function on mac osx server.

Hey ,
Having problems with the reset password functions on the OSX server. When I try to do through the command line it asks for the old password of the user. So how do I fix the problem? Do I have to log in onto the ldap server as the admin and reset from there or is there an easy fix to make the reset password function work. When I try the reset password function the server is not taking the input when I click on change password. So any helpful suggestions are welcome. Verson OSX lion 10.7.5
Thanks in Advance,

Excuse me for misunderstanding your post.  You explicitly stated in your post

and wrote that it asks for the old password.  Server.app is not accessed through the command line, and it does not ask for the old password of the user.
You might like to try Workgroup Manager instead.

  • Does using the reset setting function delete the email accounts

    I want to use the reset settings function but I am worried that it will delete my email accounts.

    If you are talking about a Reset where you hold the home and sleep buttons till you see the Apple logo, no that will not delete your email accounts. If you are referring to a RESTORE of your iPhone as a new phone, yep that will clear the email accounts.

  • Problem using the IMAQ Extract function.Not getting two different image out

    Hi, I am trying to use the multiple IMAQ extract functions to get certain parts of the webcam image and then using the color extract function to get the average RGB values. The problem is that both the IMAQ extract functions give the same image on its output port. The block diagram snippet and VI are attached below. Also, please let me know if there is a better way of doing this. I need to expand this later to extract rgb values of about 40-50 different parts of the image instead of just two shown below.
    Solved!

    You did not create another image that you should wire to the input "Image Dst" of "IMAQ Extract".  That's why you always operate on the original image (which you should not do if you intend to operate on several regions of the image).
    Solution: 
    (1) Create a new image and wire this to "Image Dst".
    (2) Apply the histogram operation sequentially (e.g. in a loop).
    That way you will notice, that Image Dst contains actually(!) the region you have specified.  (Put a probe on the image wire that goes from the Extract VI to the Histogram VI).

  • Problem using the File Dialog Box in a Client/Server application

    I am developping a client-server application using Labview 5.1 . The application on the server acquires data from some instruments and saves it on file, while the application on the clients displayes such acquired data. For doing this I call some routines on the server via the "Open Application vi" (remote connection). All goes well except when I open on the server the "File Dialog Box vi" : in this case the application on the clients is blocked (is blocked the execution of the called vi on the server). Only when
    the File Dialog Box on the server is closed, the execution of the called vi on the server starts again.
    I need to use the File Dialog Box on the server, but I don' t want to stop at the same time
    the clients !!
    I need help for resolving such problem.
    Many thanks in advance !!!

    A call to the file dialog box will call a modal system dialog. So LV can't go on executing VIs in the user interface thread."
    Are you sure? I think, that File Dialog, called by LabVIEW File Dialog from Advanced File Functions Palette doesn't blocking any cycles in subVI, which running in UI Thread. Look in my old example (that was prepared for other topic, but may be good for this topic too).

  • How Do I Increase The Speed Of Sending Emails Using The Mail Service on my Mac Mini Server?

    Note: This is the first time I have set up a mail server.
    I have a Ruby on Rails application where I am currently sending approx. 240 individual emails with the potential of more being sent each week as more people add themselves to our mailing list.  I am sending them invidually in order to personalize the emails and to hopefully prevent my emails being falsely identified as spam.
    The GoDaddy email address I was using in my Rails application has a daily limit of sending 250 emails each day.  With our mailing list fastly approaching 250 I decided to set up an email address on my Mac Mini Server using Mountain Lion (OS X Server).  The email address was set up to be stored locally at the advice of Apple Enterprise Support.  This email address will not be used in an email program.  It will only be used in all my Rails applications.
    My emails send properly but take almost 10 seconds an email.  When I use the same software with GoDaddy's email address the emails take about eight minutes to send.  With the email address I created it takes about 41 minutes.  The difference seems to have to do with the sacl_check being done.  Here is an example of what I see for each email in mail.log.
    Mar 14 11:06:50 hostname.domain1.com postfix/qmgr[45322]: 4B2C5603D25: removed
    Mar 14 11:06:59 hostname.domain1.com postfix/smtpd[99464]: sacl_check: mbr_user_name_to_uuid([email protected]) failed: No such file or directory
    There is 9-10 seconds that elapses when the sacl_check.  If I subtract this difference the remaining time is almost the time that the GoDaddy email takes to send the same number of emails.
    The link below is a post about the sacl_check.  I was looking at the comments by powercore from Germany at the comments where settings in /etc/postfix/main.cf are discussed.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3241121?start=0&tstart=0
    Will making these setting changes speed up the sending of the emails from my Mail Server or is there something else I can check?

  • Configure MacMiniServer 2,53 GHz MAC OSX Server 10.6 via Windows 7 PC

    Hi,
    i have a problem. I bought the MacMiniServer 2,53 GHz MAC OSX Server 10.6 and I want to configure the MacMiniServer via a Windows 7 PC. But the Mac Mini Mac OS x Server Install DVD can not open with a Windows 7 PC. Is there a possibility to start the install DVD from a windows 7 PC. I have at this time only a Windows PC.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi
    The MacMini Server having no optical drive has nothing to do with what you want to do. The server OS comes pre-installed.
    All you have to do is follow Mr Hoffman's suggestions.
    Any USB Keyboard and mouse will do. Your only problem as far as I can see is finding a suitable monitor and/or DVI adapter to connect it to. It may be worth your while purchasing a Mini Display Port to VGA adapter?

  • I have forgotten my administrator password, and there are no hints. I have a Mac OS X Mavericks. When I get to the reset password screen, it has no hard drive to select. What now?

    I have forgotten my administrator password, and there are no hints. I have a Mac OS X Mavericks. When I get to the reset password screen, it has no hard drive to select. What now?

    If you're using FileVault, you first have to unlock the startup volume in Disk Utility. Select it and click the Unlock button in the toolbar. Of course, this is only possible if you know another password to unlock the volume. If you don't, follow instead these instructions.

    Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels.  Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer.  I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation.  I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC.  I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots.  Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
    The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes.  Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond.   In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces  (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
    To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images.  After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size  images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
    I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data.  (I have a screen shot to show this.)  CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
    Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong.  I could also send screen shots of this data.
    At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR.  This is not normal.  I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution.  If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

  • So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date, is there a way to get it all back?

    So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date,and it also kept the notes from after the backup. The "reset all settings" option clearly says no loss of data or media, so I don't understand why some stuff got deleted. My question is, is there a way to get it back?

    If you still can find a recent backup listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, use this one to restore from.
    If there are no recent backups listed, your data is gone. Only if you included the iTunes backup folder into your computer backup routine, you could be able to restore this folder and find one of your latest backups listed again.

  • Is it possible to hide the save function and only use the save as function in teststand

    Hi,
    When i'm done building a sequence i want to prevent other engineers to save the sequence with the same filename (or version number).
    Is it somehow possible to "hide" the save button and only use the save as function?
    Or is there another possiblity to solve my problem.
    The idea is to have a sequence called Sequence_V1.0.seq which i have build. When installing this in a factory enviroment I would like whenever there is a change needed in the sequence that the version number increases (manual action) (becomes Sequence_V1.1.seq). So from the moment you want to save i would like to only have the function save as. In this way you are obligated to fill in a new sequence name (original sequence will be read-only)
    What would even be great if there could be a log of what the changes were
    Thx!!! 

    1) You could mark the file as read-only, by default you would then not be able to save over it. The user could make it not read-only though if they know what they are doing.
    2) Another possibility is to lock the sequence file for editing (this is a teststand feature). Go to the Sequence File Property dialog, on the advanced tab, where it says Password Protection, set it to Not Editable and give it a good password. This doesn't however keep someone from saving another file to the same name as the locked one, but they at least won't be able to saved the locked file again without your password, nor will they be able to edit it.
    Hope this helps,
    -Doug

  • How to reset password on my mac if i forgot it

    How to reset password on my mac if i forgot it?

    First, make sure caps lock is not on.
    You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:
    If you forget the password and FileVault is on

    I used the wrong password to join my new belkin wifi. Now that I have the correct password, I can not get the to the join screen with the space to type in the password. I continue to get the unable to join message.  I have put the touch to sleep and I have turned on and off the wifi and join options on the Network screen page.  Does anyone know how to get pass this block of the wrong password to a new page that will allow me to type in the correct password.  I see there is a option that asks if I want to reset the network settings.. is that what I should do? and what does it erase when I do that?  Thanks for any input anyone has.

    Yes.  Reset network settings. Head to Settings -> General -> Reset and tap Reset Network Settings.
