WIKI/BLOG server security

Trying to set up a WIKI/BLOG server and want to allow groups to access only certain WIKIs. (e.g. leadership group is only group that can see leadership WIKI, etc.)
I've dug around and can't find how to do it. Is there a way to do this? And if so, how?
They are connecting to just the IP address for now (later to be a DNS name) via the browser. Connections are working, but anyone can see any group.

Hi,
In your group setup with Workgroup Manager (basic group panel) you select who can view and who can edit/create entries on the group's web site with the drop down selection menu in the middle of the page. Anyone will be able to see the list of groups hosted on your server if you use the dynamically created index page (the black background page). But if you select only group members to view the group wiki/blog, then an individual must log in and be a member of the group in order to see any of its pages. That includes any group service offered on the group web site.
By using the Directory.app you can enter more fine grained permissions for the group web site when you pull up the group entry and select who can view and edit/create by specific member within the group.

How to configure the wiki/blog server to share the embed LDAP

All
anyone know the steps to share the embed LDAP to the wiki/blog server? the SSO steps of course meet the requirement, but all i haveto do is to setup the ENV to work with the demo custom apps for avoiding login twice. any input are appreciated.

And i assumed wrong :)
You are not using the latest version of WebCenter. According to what i see, you are using webcenter 11.1.1.3 or earlier which does not use UCM as wiki and blog service.
So basicly all the links i provided in my previous post are useless for you.
To be honnest, configuring wiki and blog in pre PS3 environment is a real pain in the "you know what i mean".
The reason for this is that you will need to create a few keystores, configure SSO,... The instruction that explains how is very long and difficult and in the end, you end up with integrating iframes which is not nice...
That's why since PS3, webcenter uses UCM to store the wiki and blog services.
If it's for a demo application, why not use the latest version?

Media is not showing up on my wiki/blog server

I have recently setup a server running 10.5 and running Podcast Producer. I have created a wiki/blog page and created several groups. I have attempted to use Podcast Capture to post videos, files and presentations to the webpage but the files never show up on the page. I can find them in the Podcast folder on the server but they don't show up on the group webpage. What am I doing wrong? I have seen it done before, I'm just not sure what I'm missing. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Could I refer you to the forum on Podcast Producer.

Wiki/blog server relationship to blojsom (plugins ?)

Is there any relationship between the wiki/blog software and blojsom ? I've seen some comments about this on other forums but not sure if this is still the case.
I see a plugin folder in some of the wiki config folder and am wondering if it's possible to use blojsom plugins (with/without some modifications) ? Or if there are any plugins in the works ?

There is no support for blojsom plugins in the Leopard Wiki/Weblog server.
Support for third party plugins is something we are looking into for the future but have no plans around yet. If that is something that is important to you, let us know through a bug report.

Wiki and Blog Server

Hi,
I recently changed the location of the stored files for my web server on leopard. At first, the user blogs were not working but after discovering a permissions problem with the folder on the RAID array that they were on, they began to work.
My problem is that the group wiki and blog services do not work. It seems that the index for the page is created but not the folder for storing the files. Does anyone know of a workaround?
Thanks

Hi,
External data stores are easily achieved with the various services running under 10.5 server. A strong requirement is setting the permissions correctly so that the service is able to read and write to the data store. So for instance an external data store for the group service is achieved by
Server -> Web -> Services: Data Store: /Volumes/Collaboration
Folder Collaboration:
Owner: _teamsserver -rwx, Group: _teamsserver -rwx, Others: -rx
If Collaboration is not at the Volume level then Everyone needs to have access through the directory structure to the directory containing Collaboration.
The user blogs are referenced from the site folder to the user's home folder containing a Sites folder. The access to user blogs is not the same as the access to the group wiki/blogs content.

Documentation for oracle webcenter wiki and blog server 10.1.3.2.0

Hi
Can anyone tell me where I can get the documentation for oracle webcenter wiki and blog server 10.1.3.2.0. I am specifically interested in this version and not the latest version Oracle® WebCenter Wiki and Blog Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.4.0) because I have heard the older version provided out of the box portlets for creation of blogs.
Since we want blogs very fast, I want documentation of this older version.
Can anyone point them out to me as soon as possible please

You can find the demo portlets here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/webcenter/owcs_10132_demos.html#wiki_blog_disc_samples
I do not believe there were any portlets provided with the earlier release.
Anyway what i think is it should not take you more than a few hours to integrate blogging functionality if you are using the Connection & Task flows provided by WebCenter.

Can Wiki blogs be shared ? (Server v4)

Hello all,
I am trying to set up a Wiki blog, so that all logged-in users can leave their comments like in a newspaper's comment section.
Of course, it should be clear who left a comment and when.
The blog should read like that:
User 1 on Friday 2 Jan 2015 wrote :
User 2 on Friday 2 Jan 2015 wrote :
How do I do that ? The comment function does not embed the comments into the blog.
Thanks for helping.

You can't modify the way it works. Like everything else in OS X Server, it's designed for simplicity, not flexibility. You would need a third-party solution. I don't have a specific recommendation.

Wiki/Blog without Server

Is it possible to download the wiki/blog feature for use in Leopard Client. I am interested in trying it out before I purchase a Server.
Thanks

no solution found

Wikis, Blogs, etc. Available to Outside Users?

So my wiki works on the server itself in Safari, but everytime I try and access the same address on another machine, it can't find the server and fails to load anything.
Obviously, this is a setting problem. How do I make wikis, blogs, etc. visible to people on the web and not just on my network? I am thinking I have to set up some nameservers on Leopard Server and populate those nameservers into my domain registrars control panel? I do have my server name bought as a domain name, of course.
Any help would be great, and pleaes note I am a beginner at server admin.

So my wiki works on the server itself in Safari, but everytime I try and access the same address on another machine, it can't find the server and fails to load anything.
Access? How? Via ip address? Via host name? From your LAN? From outside your LAN? If you're accessing from one host to another via a private static IP address (servers really want static IP) on a private LAN and the access is failing, then there's a network disconnect, firewall, subnet error or routing problem of some sort.
Obviously, this is a setting problem. How do I make wikis, blogs, etc. visible to people on the web and not just on my network?
Is your network addressing in the range 192.168.0.0, 172.16.0.0/12 or 10.0.0.0/8? In one of the private address ranges? If so, you'll need to use NAT to get from the public IP address space into your private address space.
I am thinking I have to set up some nameservers on Leopard Server and populate those nameservers into my domain registrars control panel?
The nameserver is the first thing that should be set up in Leopard Server. A number of other services are dependent on having functional DNS, either on the Leopard Server or on another box on the network serving DNS.
Recognize there is public DNS where you have your "domain registrar control panel", and there is a second DNS that may be configured on the private local LAN; what's called split horizon DNS or split view DNS such. Basically DNS mappings for the private IP addresses (I'm assuming you're using a private network), and DNS that is public and visible to the Internet.
I do have my server name bought as a domain name, of course.
Which is the first step, and how a public static IP address is available and how a public host name gets to your server. The next step is configuring the firewall - I recommend an external firewall, with NAT capabilities if you don't have enough static addresses - and the associated port-mapping and NAT. A pro-sumer grade firewall will have these capabilities, as can something akin to M0n0wall or Smoothwall.
Any help would be great, and pleaes note I am a beginner at server admin.
This is a big topic area and while Leopard Server is pretty good, it's not a "No IT" solution. It's about as close as I've encountered, but there is still a ways to go; some regular care and feeding of the servers is needed.
It really helps to know something of IP networking, including a little bit of DNS and NAT and security, and related. Start with some of the Leopard documentation or a book on Leopard Server or classes on networking and related; however you learn best.
The following is a deliberate attempt to scare you: An insecure server will get hacked. My servers get attacked frequently; the botnets find and pound on these servers, and are launching increasingly sophisticated site attacks. Recognize that *your server will get attacked.* This means staying current on your software versions, and keeping current archives of your critical data (via Time Machine or cron or launchd or some other automated means), and restoring and verifying those archives once in a while as a test. Reading or otherwise scanning the attack and web server logs, too.
Here's some [reading|http://64.223.189.234/node/275] that seeks to introduce firewalls and networking; I will probably end up creating an article or document specific to this topic on Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server. The Apple manuals are pretty good at introducing the area, though you'll often then find yourself reading more detailed documentation from other sources as you get deeper into each of the areas of Mac OS X Server and of Unix in general; Cricket Liu's DNS and BIND book, for instance. You will want to start reading the server manuals. (Or you could choose to out-source server administration and/or server setup, of course.)

10.5.7 update Wiki, blog, and Calendar stopped working

I'm running 10.5.7 server and like a noob, I updated without giving others a chance to figure out what problems might arise from this monster. My server is a live machine and unfortunately I sorta need this working ASAP.
Now that I've updated, none of my web services work. The basic site works, but the wiki/blog thing says there's no available groups. In workgroup manager, when I select a group (Library in this case), I want to be able to enable wiki and blog and Web Calendar. They're grey because now the "Enable the following services for this group on: (None)" is selected. When I click on the 'None' button there's no option to choose my community site.
In Server Admin, when I select "Web", then select my site. Then click, Web Services... Wiki and blog is checked. Also, the access list is blank, as it's always been...
Here's a look at the most recent error in my /Library/Logs/wikid/error.log before today, I'd never seen anything like it...

*edit* One more thing. When I select a user in WGM and click 'Advanced', then enable calendaring, I can't select a calendar host. There's no items in the list like there was before. It hyst says 'No Calendar Host Selected'. Again, this is enabled in the web services in Server Admin. Help!

Server Admin -> web
select the website in question, make sure it is checked as enabled
Server Admin -> web -> Web Services
make sure the users/groups that require access are displayed, otherwise click and add them
Check Wiki and Blog
etc...
save
Workgroup Manager -> Groups Icon
Select the correct group
Select the website that you want (www.your_domain.com) from the popup menu where it says : Enable the following service...
Check Wiki and Blog
etc...
save
Server Admin -> web
Stop
Start
That should do it...
If you try to access the wiki on localhost it won't work, you need to go to the actual domain
http://www.your_domain.com
on an intranet if you are using private dns you can create a test website for example
DNS -> your-server-name.mac.private. -> 192.168.1.150
and you select the correct private site, you can
http://your-server-name.mac.private and you should see it fine
Best of luck...

Wiki blog best practice for teachers

I am running Web services on a 10.5.8 server with wiki, blog, and calendar features enabled for a particular group.
What is the best practice for allowing a teacher to post assignments, media, etc., to his/her page while also allowing students to submit assignments (in video form) up on that page - BUT not allow them to edit the part the teacher has entered? It sounds like it should be a blog “comment”, but that does not allow them to upload files. I see there is the capability to “allow some group” members to write to this page – but how do I select which users (does not take me to a user selection option) - not sure that this is indeed what I am looking for anyway. If I allow all members to edit the page (wiki), there is little control for the page owner (teacher) to reduce student error, sabotage, or intentional goofiness.
Thanks for any advice.

Does anyone know how to archive and export individual blogs from OS X blog server?

I work for a school and we'd like to allow students to leave with their work on our blog server in html form. I have looked through the documentation provided by Apple and third party writers and googled around, but haven't come across any references to exporting blogs and wikis as self-contained structures, with all files, images and links intact.
We are running a Snow Leopard server. BTW
Any ideas?

I'm afraid you've fallen over a requirement that Apple has recently introduced. The iPhone plays podcasts by using 'byte-range requests', which means calling for part of the file at a time rather than the whole thing. Unfortunately some servers don't support this, and there were an increasing number of complaints that podcasts which worked elsewhwere weren't working on an iPhone.
So Apple are now making the ability to handle this a condition of submission. Evidently your server doesn't support this, so all you can do is to ask them whether they can implement it. If not, you will have to find another hosting service - ask about this before committing yourself, and if they say no, or don't know what it is, find another host. Note that if, as some people do, you are hosting the feed and the episodes on different servers, it is the server hosting the episodeswhich is in question.
If you would like to post the URL of one of your media files it may be possible to check your server - there is a test though I'm not sure it's 100% accurate.

Changing group owner disables wiki/blog

For quite some time now the procedure for creating new groups with a single owner/moderator has worked well. I 1) go in to the directory app on the server, 2)create the group, 3) change the owner to the teacher who will manage the wiki/blog, 4) add the teacher to the list of users allowed to create wikis (in web services). Then everything works like a charm. As of a few weeks ago (and I have not run any updates--still on 10.5.6, etc.), as soon as I change the group owner from Directory Administrator the wiki/blog generates a no group with that name is hosted on this server. Changing the owner back to directory admin fixes this but I need the teachers to be owner/moderators. Any suggestions on what might be causing this problem?
Thanks,

Is there any solution to this problem? I am trying to set up the group owner but can't. I am set as the group owner in the group list and set as moderator in the list of users allowed to create wikis but when I go into the wiki site I am unable to change settings.

Hello,
I just saw this on a server I was working on. In our case we moved the /Library/Collaboration folder to another drive and while we pointed Server Admin to look in the new directory we got this error until we restarted the wiki server. We used "sudo serveradmin stop teams" followed by "sudo serveradmin start teams", but rebooting the whole server probably would have done the trick too.
If this doesn't help you, it may still be related to the folder that holds the wiki server stuff (usually /Library/Collaboration). Could be permissions, missing files, etc.
Good luck!
