10.6.4 WikiServer only using primary short name

We've recently updated our wiki server from 10.5.8 to 10.6.4. Everything seems to have gone well, except that the wiki server seems to be only picking up the primary short name from our OD server (also 10.6.4). The wiki only allows logins with the short name and only displays the short name on the "My Page" and for editing credits.
Other servers are working fine and allow long names for logging in.
There's nothing the in the OD logs or the wiki server logs that look like something is going wrong when users try to log in with long names.
I've tried the standard restart teams and rebuild globalIndex and dataVersion. They didn't do anything.
Anyone have any ideas?

i am having the same problem... in the log files in the wikiid logs i get an error,

Ipad only uses one file name when uploading images via email

We have an image tool that uploads images to a template website. The problem is the file names for these images must be unique any duplicate file names will be rejected. Some of our users want to be able to upload from the field but Ipad only assigns the file name "photo.JPG" to jpegs. It doesn't seem to include the sequential extension that actually does exist for the image on the file name when uploading. Is there a way to get ipad to do so, or is this something that Apple maybe want to consider looking into. I can easily see the average Joe emailing themselves images and hitting save only to replace and lose an older image because let's face it, not all users are on MACs and PC's do not allow multiple files to have the same file name in the same folder.

Hi,
Based on the description, you could send email to external addresses without the Twin Oaks software. However, with the Twin Oaks software, you couldn't send successfully.
For this issue, I recommend you enable message tracking and check whether you could retrieve message tracking log entires when you send emails to external addresses through the Twin Oaks software.
If you couldn't retrieve message these tracking log entires when you send emails to external addresses through the Twin Oaks software, it means that the Exchange server is OK and the crux of the problem is the Twin Oaks software.
Here is an article about message tracking log for your reference.

I bought an app on one username, but when it tells me to update I can only use a different name that is preset. How do I switch the username?

I am signed in on a username thatI boght the app. however when i want to update the app it only offres me a different usename that didnt pay for the app. so i will ahve to buy it again which i obviously dont want to do. how do i switch the name, it doesnt offer a way to do so.
please help!!

Go to settings, scroll down to store, click on AppleID at the bottom, and sign out. Then sign in with the other Apple ID.
WARNING!!! I have no idea what might happen to apps/music/movies you've downldoaded with the first ID... it may be that they'll be wiped!! Back up and get them out of iTunes first!!

Best Practice: changing a user's short name?

I administer the OS X Servers and user accounts at my school, where typically a few teachers will come back from the summer having gotten married and changed their names.
We use a standard for usernames of first letter of first name and last name, where Ann Smith is 'asmith' - when she goes and gets married and wants to be 'ajones' at the beginning of this year, what is the best way to go about this change?
Users have network homes, and IMAP email is on a separate server. Here is what I was thinking:
For the user's files, make a new user with their new username, 'ditto' the contents of the old username's home folder to the new username, and chown/chmod the new folder's contents to match the correct permissions.
For the user's mail, use SirAdmin to add ACL's to the old username's mail folders to be able to read them as the new username, have the new username set up their mail and copy the contents of the old username's mail to their new IMAP folder(s).
Does this make sense or is this far too complicated?
Do I just tell these users to log in using their old name and burn their essentials to a DVD and just worry about helping them with their emails?
Any and all suggestions would be appreciated -- thanks

Hi Blair
These look like good methods to me and should work. You could consider creating a second short name - something suitable like their first name instead? Enable Mobile Account (PHD) for the affected users and log in using that short name. Their account should now be created locally as well.
If you have only a handful you could use a spare machine to do it with yourself? More on this later.
If you these users have IMAP accounts you could enable POP for them as well. As you/they log in to download from the server their current home folder their mail should be downloaded also.
What you have after that is effectively a back up of their home folders and mail kept locally on a client machine or a designated machine you decided to use. Delete their account, create the new long and short names, create the additional short name (exactly as it was before), log in with those details and upload the locally stored information back to the server. There should be no need to worry about permissions etc.
What you could do is send an email to the affected users outlining the steps they need to take to achieve what you want. Minimal effort with maximum gain.
When you are happy kill the mobile account option as well as deleting the additional short name. Send another mail advising they use the first short name for logging in. There'll be a little tidying up to do in deleting the locally created home folders but you can do this at your leisure using VNC.
I would have in place one of the other methods as well - just in case.

User's short name greyed and can't be changed

Hi all I hope I'm in the right area for this post. Here's my problem:
When I create a user I can give them a short name or accept the default, then I save the user. However, if I go back to that user to change the short name It is greyed out and cannot be changed although I can add additional short names that can be modified. Note that I am logged in and authenticated with the Directory admin's password. It was a problem in 10.5.4 and now 10.5.5 as well.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi
Firstly you don't have a problem. Its normal behaviour.
When you first create a User and key in the User's name the first short name gets created at the same time. Prior to clicking Save you can alter it then and only then. As you've already seen you can add further short names as well as editing them. To change the primary short name you delete the user account and create it again exept this time alter the primary short name to suit your needs.

Short Name for same user results in different service authorization

New to Mac Server. Not new to Unix, command line, or sys admin.
I have a Mini Server, with two users; me and my wife.
Both Accounts have two short names each: Initals+Lastname, and First Name only
With iChat on the server, my account can login using both short names.
Her account can only login to iChat using the Initals+Lastname, not First Name.
Actually her account can log in to iChat using any variation of short names (I've added extra ones), but not the short name of just her first name.
Both users have identical permissions everywhere I can see, both are authorized for iChat.
The short name works if I remove permissions on iChat (I don't want to do this)
Both users are OD users, not local. I only have an admin account for local access.
Here is a snippet of the Jabber log:

I'm stumped as to why one short name would work, the other not. Looking for hints on how to hunt down and solve the problem.

This isn't working for me. There was never a local "intern2" account, but I deleted the one in the ldap anyway, made and removed the local intern2 account. I then remade the intern2 account in the ldap directory(which increased the uid), rebooted the server, and the error remains the same as what you report.
Jun 8 13:36:00 server jabberd/c2s[212]: od_auth_check_service_membership: user "intern2" is not authorized to access service "chat"
There are 12 other accounts connected just fine. The issue is with this new intern account only.

External programs get error 1006 using local server name

I have a brand new Solution Manager EHP1 installation on Windows 2003sp2/SQL.
The installation succeeded ok, but I cannot configure STMS.
The reason appears to be that external commands (i.e. tp) are not working correctly.
If I execute in SM49 the external command 'ENV' and use the default host, it fails with error 1006
If I specify the target host and use the 'short' name of the host, e.g. SAPSMT it fails with the same error
If I specify the target host and use the fqdn of the host e.g. SAPSMT.saproot.local it works ok.
If I specify the target host as 'localhost' it also works ok.
The 'HOSTNAME' command responds with SAPSMT
There is only a single NIC, so its not anything to do with multiple NICs.
I'm running the latest kernel and sapxpg now and it still acts the same.
Type 3 RFC destinations to SAPSMT work ok.
I can't really get anything else to fail: just external commands with the short name (or default) as the target.
Has anyone seen this before and have a solution or workaround?
I am almost sure it will be a windows configuration problem, but I can't see what it could be.
Thanks, Andy.

Hi Pradi,
there are no entries in the HOSTS file related to this.
I do think this is the right area: here is the output of niping, which is suggesting that the address lookup of the ip address goes to the fully qualified domain name rather than the hostname.
E:\usr\sap\SMT\DVEBMGS00\exe>niping -v -H SAPSMT
Hostname/Nodeaddr verification:
===============================
Hostname of local computer: SAPSMT                        (NiMyHostName)
Lookup of hostname: SAPSMT                                (NiHostToAddr)
    --> IP-Addr.: 10.115.227.36
Lookup of IP-Addr.: 10.115.227.36                         (NiAddrToHost)
    --> Hostname: SAPSMT.saproot.local
Lookup of hostname: SAPSMT                                (NiHostToAddr)

    --> Hostname: SAPSMT.saproot.local
If I add the hostname SAPSMT to the hosts file (together with the alias as you suggested), it then gives:
E:\usr\sap\SMT\DVEBMGS00\exe>niping -v -H SAPSMT

Lookup of IP-Addr.: 10.115.227.36                         (NiAddrToHost)
    --> Hostname: SAPSMT

Lookup of IP-Addr.: 10.115.227.36                         (NiAddrToHost)
    --> Hostname: SAPSMT
However, having made this change and restarted, I still get the problem.
Thanks for the help, by the way.

Short name conflict local account versus server account

I have just finished the first setup of Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server 10.6.4. I wanted to create my first server account in Server Preferences. I wanted to follow the following note from page 90 of Getting Started v10.6:
Note: If a user already has a short name on a Mac, try to use the same short name for the user’s account on the server. Having the same short name facilitates the user’s access to services.
I got an error message saying I can't create the server account because it has to be unique. The reason for this is that I already used the short name for the local primary administrator account which I created during the setup.
What is the best way to deal with it?
I guess I could create a new local administrator account and delete the one I used for the initial setup. I wonder if that would have any negative consequences. The UID would not be 501.
Any help is highly appreciated.
- Bernhard

You can change the UID if need be via System Preferences/Accounts/Advanced Options which is a right-click on your account’s name while not locked.

Short Names and Long Names on Wiki Server

I have my Snow Leopard server bound to an Active Directory server and it all works great with not problems. One thing I did notice however, is that when users login to the Wiki server using their AD account and reply to a post (leave a comment) or edit a page, then their short name will appear instead of their long name.
This problem does not affect all my users, only some. About half of my users long names appear and the rest only display their short name. I checked the directory settings in AD and WGM; both have the name attribute filled correctly for all users but only some are displaying on the Wiki.
Any ideas?
I created augmented user records for my staff but not for my non-staff users. This problem only affects my non-staff users. I don't really want to create augmented user records to get around this; and anyway, it is working halfway with out them, so it shouldn't be an issue with augmented records, right?
Thanks for your brain power in advance

I apologize. I was unclear in my description of my new problem. I have some users using Mail.app and others using Entourage. I've encountered the "file too large" problem with Entourage users. For the record, I'm using the backup program iBackup. In the log file it creates, it states that the Entourage database file is too large.
For example, one person has a 2.6GB Entourage database file. iBackup will start copying and get to around 2GB, maybe 2.1 or 2.2. It will then appear to quickly finish. Looking in the backup folder on the server, it shows the entirety of the Office 2004 Identities folder to be 96KB....
Is this some sort of weird limitation on the part of Windows Server 2003 and how it deals with communication from Macs, or is it just an issue with iBackup? I have copied much larger files using iBackup to back up to a locally-attached Firewire hard drive successfully, so I am leaning towards a strange Windows Server issue.
Thanks for any input!

Import Data using Full Table Name

Is there a way to run the import data wizard so when pulling data from a csv it generates an insert statement not only using the table name but using the Oracle Schema name -- ie fully qualified table name?

Hi Nilanjan,
I need help ASAP.
About this dump-load task, how does it works? Because I was checking out a package called Import SQL and this one only imports data from a table, however this table has to be allocated within the database that is being used, and I right? Are these 2 related somehow?
Does this task order BPC to find data from a SQL Table (allocated in a different server, different instance for SQL) and import it to SQL Fac2 table?
Can you help me with a simple explanation what do I need to do to run this task? The page help.sap.com talks shows a section within DumpLoad Task Usage which is called Importing Into SQL Server...
* Processing the Application using DumpLoad -
Importing into SQL
You can use DumpLoad to process the application as a standalone procedure, or with data import, export, or clear.
Prerequisites
The DumpLoad task (OsoftTaskDumpLoad2008.dll) is registered with Microsoft SSIS. See Registering Custom Tasks.
Procedure
1.Open a package or create a new package in Microsoft SSIS on the Planning and Consolidation server. i already did this for the DumpLoad task ... should I do this for the Import SQL task also ?
2.Select the task and add it to the package. WHAT DOES SELECT THE TASK MEAN?
3.Open the task, and choose Data Management None .
4.Enter the application set, application, and user ID.
Im getting confused, can you please provide more details about the whole procedure. Thanx in advance

If I turn off iMessages on my iphone 5 and only use SMS, I am hoping this will this stop ALL my messages going to partners ipad? I only want 2 use SMS and not have any of my messages go to partners ipad so dont want to alter ipad settings.

My situtation is this, my soon to be ex previously set up an ipad with both our numbers and we share a linked itunes/icloud account so if my phone is off he gets all my messages via his ipad that I DO NOT have access to his ipad at ALL. I can't set up my own itunes account (not yet until I leave him) otherwise he will know I am leaving him and it will cause major problems. So I was hoping that if I turn off iMessages on my iphone 5 and just talk to my family via SMS and NOT touch his precious ipad mini, that he wont be able to get my messages anymore and if I turn off iCloud storage and back up as well on my iphone only. Is this correct? Its just a temporary solution I am hoping. I have searched for days and hours and I just cant find this answer anywhere....
Do I HAVE to turn off my phone number off or delete it on his ipad? I am really hoping I can just do this at my own end and not touch his ipad in anyway or have to change my itunes id YET. Once I leave him shortly, I will create a whole new ID etc. I just wanna know if I can do this myself on my iphone only. Please any experienced help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so very much.

SMS messages will not go to the iPad Mini. It's not capable of receving them. If you have access and can do it without it causing a problem, remove your iPhone from the Apple ID Support profile:
Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
Log in if not already logged in.
Click on "Edit Products"
Click on the "X" to the right of the product.
Click "Unregister"
If anyone in your family uses iMessage, they will go to both you and your boyfriend unless you do that.
To be completely safe, you may want to simply use an alternate message app such as Skype, Viber, Whatsapp (assuming everyone has a smartphone) until the issue is resolved. Google Voice will also allow you to send and receive texts to another number on your phone.
Best of luck.

Is pre-paid best for a phone I'll only use one month out of the year?

I have an old Motorola phone dating back to 2008. The contract with Verizon Wireless is long since expired and my recently graduated former college student son no longer needs it. I live overseas, but I still want to retain the number and have a phone to use when I'm home in the States each summer. I really can't see paying ~ $600/year (@ $50/mo for 12 months under the current plan) for a phone I will use only for a short time each year -- that one or two months in the summer when we make phone calls like mad. I don't need a data plan, because it's not a smart phone and I wouldn't access the internet using this phone even if it were possible. What is my lowest cost option for retaining the phone number so my friends can call me without changing their address books every time I'm home in America? Do I have to buy a new phone when the old one still works fine?

Prepaid is the way to go in your situation. However minutes expire on some plans monthly, so you would have to buy minutes every month to keep your number.
Just be sure to choose the best plan that allows you to keep your number for the year.

Aperture 3 shuts down every time I try to use it after only using it for one minute. Aperture closes then a pop up screen asks if I want to reopen Aperture. If somrone at Aperture didn't keep pushing a stop button for it to close,Apple wouldn't need to ask the stupid question"Do you want to reopen Aperture?" to begin with. Anyone out there having the same annoying problem?? I like Aperture or used to anyway,but if this nonsense continues, I will be forced to buy some other editor besides "No hanging fruit - Adobe photoshop CS5" or "I don't like you so I'm shutting down - Aperture".

Hello,
sorry to hear about your troubles, but we will need to have more technical information about your problem to be able to help you:
There may be several reasons that can cause Aperture to crash on start up:
You may have imported an image (or video) in an encoding that Aperture does not support, or that is larger than 2 GB, or that is corrupted and Aperture cannot process it
Your Aperture Library or Preferences may have been corrupted
Or you are having a system wide problem with your machine.
Or you may simple be running out of disk space.
It would help, if you could post the crash log from your last crash. Also, more details on your Aperture Library: Is it managed or references? how large is it? Is it on your system drive or on an external drive?
What have you done, shortly before the trouble started? Have you imported new images or videos? Did you install any plug-ins or any new software, lile Final Cut?
Try, if you can get Aperture to launch, if you defer the generation of Previews: Hold down the SHIFT-key immediately after you start Aperture to prevent preview generation for that session. If a damaged image in your library is preventing normal opening, this may allow you to start Aperture. If this succeeds, try to identify the broken image or video among the images you recently imported and remove it from the library.

Much more efficient on my end.
I expected to be canceled in a few short minutes via a phone call. Instead of have been in this endless and frustrating loop to this forum.

Don't want new tiff files saved in my catologue if I'm only using the image for a composite.

When editing in Photoshop CS4 from LR3, the new tif will not appear in the catalogue unless I save it in PS. In LR4 it saves a new tiff in my catalogue regardless if I save the edited image in PS or not. I have a cloud library I use often and do not want new files saved in my LR catologue if I'm only using the opened image for compositing. Can anyone help me figure out how to change the workflow to be like LR3?

i think adobe should support new cameras for older CS versions too.
in the end PS is expensive enough to justifie a better support.
How far back would you go? One version? Three? Where should the line be drawn? Adobe draws the line at the currently shipping version...it's now CS5 and shortly it will be CS6.
Even if Adobe were to do this, you do realize that trying to put new plug-ins into older software is really tough. For example on the Mac, Photoshop CS5 requires that the plug-in be written in Apple's Cocoa API. Camera Raw 5 required a major update to be able to run in Cocoa...retrofitting Camera Raw 5 to run in a PPC platform (supported by CS3/CS4 but not supported by CS5) would be difficult–a lot of work for zero return. As a result of the engineering challenges of backwards compatibility Adobe has the policy of only updating currently shipping software to current customers. Truth be told, if you don't have the most recent version, you are not a current customer...you are a former customer. Having Adobe spend R&D engineering backwards compatibility to support former customers would take resources away from supporting current customers. As a current customer, I wouldn't like that.
But it's all a moot point because I don't see any evidence that Adobe is going to change this policy for backwards compatibility. In fact, going forward, Adobe is already announced the change to Photoshop upgrade rules allowing only the most recent version to be upgraded to the new version. Because of the reaction that only CS5/5.5 could upgrade to CS6, Adobe blinked and now has given a grace period till the end of 2012 for CS3 & CS4 users to upgrade to CS6.
Again many people don't like this, but as a pro user of Photoshop, I always upgrade anyway so it has no impact on me. Yes, it will bite some people and I can have sympathy, but again, you always have the free DNG Converter to use in the case you need new camera support. And hey, the new cameras come with software to process their raw files, right?
