10.6 home directory mounting with active directory and open directory integration

Hi guys i am having some issues in my new mac environment. I have a windows network with an server 2008 active directory. I have just recentlly created a "magic triangle" setup with active directory and open directory. When my users login via windows their home folders mount perfect. When any user logs in to any iMac in the building it does not work. They login perfectly fine, but their home folders do not mount. When i try mounting them manually with smb, i get a prompt for credentials. I am thinking this is my issue, my Single sign on with kerbos is working but for some reason is not logging in correctly. If i type in my credentials with my domain first then my name it works.
For example DOMAIN\jsmith works, but the way i think the mac and active directory is doing it now is just jsmith without the DOMAIN.
I feel like this is the problem with the home folders not mounting.
Can anyone provide some help with this?
Thanks,
Dani

Hi dani190,
are you using the fully qualified domain name of the network server? ie if your server is bob. and your domain is domain.company.com. then the FQDNS would typically be bob.domain.company.com or bob.company.com.
If the FQDNS works, then have you checked in the AD to make sure the path to the network home folder uses the FQDNS?
For the contact search path, did you put the AD at the top the list? (in directory utility)
Did you set the WINS work group on your client computer to your domain?
ie:Apple Menu, System Preferences, Network, Active Network Port (ethernet and or airport) , Advanced Button, WINS Tab, set workgroup to the name of your domain. ie domain.company.com and or company.com

  • Whats a good mac to use for a home flight simulator with flight controls and foot pedals?

    whats a good mac to use for a home flight simulator with flight controls and foot pedals?
    My old 6100 AV worked great on A10 ATTACK, back in 1993.
    whats a good set up now a days?
    I havent seen any MAC set ups as a lot of the after market accessories are on  Windows platform.
    Is there a way or should I get a dedicated simulator on PC?

    The fact that USB flight input devices appear to Windows only is not a limitation; for Mac most are programmed through the sim itself. I know X-Plane does that.
    I've simmed a lot and know that good sims need a lot of processor and video hardware horsepower, and you'll also need a lot of RAM. They also run up the internal temps. A Mac Pro has better cooling than an iMac. You can get a program like SMCFanControl to manually set up the fans speeds before starting the sim.
    I know of no sims today that will still run on a PowerPC Mac (2005 and earlier) so you need to look to an Intel Mac with top specs. If looking at iMacs, start by looking for the quad-core i7 processor. Those models usually came with an up-rated video card. Thing 12 to 16GB RAM.
    My 2010 iMac has the 2.93gHz i7 processor, video hardware (ATI 5750) with 1TB VRAM, and 12 GB of RAM. It runs the x-Plane 10 demo fine but I've not bought the full version because v10 seems to make foot pedals darned near mandatory, and I don't want $100 worth of pedals under my regular work desk at the moment.

  • Home Hub 3-- Re-activating BTWIFI and BTFON signal...

    I have a Home Hub 3 and some days ago I had to do a factory reset on it. After that I had lost the BTWIFI and BTWIFI-with FON hotspot signals from the hub.
    When I logged in to the hub it said “You aren't currently part of the BT FON WiFi Community”.
    I found this page on your website: http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12987/~/i%27ve-changed-my-bt-home-hub-and-my-bt-wi-fi...
    I carried out the instructions to opt out and to opt in again, but after 3 days nothing had happened. There were still no hotspot signals from the hub and if I looked at the hub it still said “You aren't currently part of the BT FON WiFi Community”, despite the fact that if I checked my status online it said “opted in”.
    I then called the support number 0800 022 3322 recommended on this forum and got the Indian call centre who told me that home hubs do not have a dedicated hotspot signal and that the problem was due to a lack of hotspots in my area….!!!
      I then sent a support message using the BT support contact form describing the above problem and asking if they could re-instate the signals manually. This is the reply I received:
    “*removed
    This reply was also from India and needless to say, I did not phone the help desk as suggested, as this was the same number that had failed me previously. It is obvious that BT staff in India are not aware of how BT provide hotspots in the UK.
     I opted out and in again once more at that point, but it is now 5 days since my opt in and nothing has happened at the hub.
      So my question is, is there a way of contacting someone in BT in the UK who understands the problem and can arrange for the hotspot signals to be re-activated on the hub.
     After all, they were de-activated inadvertently, and you would think that it would be in BT’s interests to activate them again as soon as possible.
     I have no complaints about the BT broadband service, and I can understand the need for them to use an inexpensive call centre to filter out most of the simple queries, but in situations where the staff do not understand or cannot help they should refer the customer back to someone in the UK qualified to solve the problem.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    All power to the Mods! I had a letter from Stuart this morning saying he had checked my hub status and that it was queued for activation and that it should happen within 48 hours, but by the time I read his letter it was already activated. He thinks it was a combination of luck and co-incidence, but I blame divine intervention.
      So I have marked SJTP’s post as the accepted solution. Thank you.
      However, it should not be necessary to resort to these forums and the mods to resolve a problem like this, so I am going to suggest the following to any BT employees who might be interested.
      While having a call centre in India is an inexpensive way of dealing with most of the problems raised by BT’s clients, there will always be some problems that are not resolved or are advised badly due to the limited training of call centre staff.  At present BT send a customer satisfaction survey after any query of their call centre, but the results are used for their own purposes. What I would suggest is that any unresolved issues at that point should result in the client being given a contact to a UK based technical team so they can have some hope that their issue would be resolved.
      This would create a huge boost to BT’s image amongst users and would probably greatly reduce the number of issues on this forum, particularly the ones resulting in negative press for BT.

  • A white light burst when "unlocking iphone with Touch ID" and "opening apps".

    A white light burst occurring from the top left corner (near volume buttons) whenever i am unlocking it through the Touch iD and while opening any apps.

    Title: Burst of White Light on iPhone 5S and iPhone 6
    Description:
    On unlocking the device with Touch ID a burst of white light is produced from the Top Left/Right corners of the screen.
    It happens when more than two folders are created i.e three/four folders each having some applications and the phone is locked while on the same screen.
    If no folder or maximum two folders are created then no such burst is produced when unlocking with Touch ID.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Configure Touch ID
    2. Use Black/Dark wallpaper on Home & Lock Screen.
    3. Create minimum four folders either on the home screen or the second having some applications in each.
    4. Being on Home Screen lock the phone.
    5. Unlock with Touch ID and a Burst of White Light will appear on Top Left/Right Corner.
    6. Now move/drag two of the folders to the other second page.
    7. Go back to Home Screen and lock the phone.
    8. Unlock with Touch ID and there is no Burst of White Light.
                        OR
    Repeat step 1 and 2 as listed above.
    1. Go to the second screen (after home screen) and create three or four folders with applications in it.
    2. Lock the iPhone while on the same screen.
    3. Unlock with Touch ID and there is a Burst of White Light.
    4. Now drag or remove the folders with only two left.
    5. Lock the iPhone while on the same screen.
    6. Unlock with Touch ID and there is no Burst of White Light.
    NOTE: If iPhone is LOCKED and UNLOCKED when on the screen with no folders NO WHITE BURST is there.
    Problem Since:
    Burst of White Light when apps added to a folder and unlocked with Touch ID. This is noticed since the update iOS 7.0.6 [11B651]
    Devices:
    The burst of light on iPhone 5s is easily recognized but on iPhone 6 its for a fraction of a second. Not checked on iPhone 6+.

  • Open report with "Save as" and "Open with" dialogue

    Hi,
    I'm using jasper reports within my application. I manage to open them in a new window but in that case the url containing JasperServer username and password is shown. I would like to open the report without showing the url.
    I tryed using a database procedure (http://sqlcur.blogspot.com/2009/02/jasperreports-in-apex.html) but all I get is a alert window saying "file does not begin with ' pdf-'". Couldn't see what is the problem (I used the same procedure as Ino has in his example) so I thought of another way. Is it possible, when someone clicks a button to open a report, to open that report with a "Save as" and "Open with" pop up window?
    The javascript function that I use:
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    function openLAPopUpJasper(url){
    w = open(url,"winLov","toolbar=false,menubar=false,location=false,resizable=yes, //scrollbars=yes,status=yes,fullscreen=true");
    if (w.opener == null)
    w.opener = self;
    w.focus();
    </script>
    Thanks in advance!

  • Possible problems with Check out and Open Component and delayed publishing

    Hi,
    I've experienced some seemingly wrong behaviors of the checkout and open component and also with the delayed publishing feature, I've listed it down :
    1) The all important one:
    We know we've delayed publishing features for content, if we set the Release Date metadata at a future date, the content will not be released immediately, but do we have a delayed publishing features for a website page. Through manage website the user can add / delete a page(section), may do include or exclude from navigation etc.. but can they set a future date when a particular page can be included in or excluded from navigation? This should be a standard feature for a WCM solution and I hope there is some solution for sure.
    2) Can we set a datefield with a calendar feature as a page custom (section) property?
    3) Again the issue with checkout and open component, only the user with admin privilege seems to be able to change the content, normal contributors cannot, cause every time is tries to check in with the old author name, so the user has to have admin privilege to assign a different doc author's name. No trace also who is making the changes.
    4) Also facing a lot of problems while trying to implement when we use this checkout and open component. As we cannot check who is making the change there is to way to set us a step for self review, also user can only approve or reject but cannot edit the doc before passing it to the next step, if the step user is created using tokens then only checking out of the doc takes it pass the step user, but everything is working perfect with contributor data file. No problem whatsoever. Even if we use manual check out and then check in (i mean without using checkout and open component) this is working fine. But the main problem with non-technical users will be they would not like the content server portal at all and they would always prefer ms word over anything else. They would directly like to double-click on the website page, the word doc will pop up and they would make change and save.
    Issue 1 and 4 are killer issues for us, I need your help to find a solution. I have few more issues that i will post later.

    Hey Shotdawq,
    I was a bit low on bandwidth, so could not visit the forum any sooner.DIS is dynamic integration studio, it works on the webdav protocol.
    you will need to install DIS on the client machines. The POC that i did was integration of SiteStudio with CheckOutAndOpenInNative.
    I am also planning to referenc this functionality from WebSphere, what i have in my mind is to copy the java script from my sitestudio page and paste
    it in the JSP, and then using the CIS or RIDC will execute the serverices. At present i am stuck in some other work, If i get this thing working i will
    update you. In the meanwhile if you have some question for me, feel free to throw them.
    cheers,

  • Online file storage with access control and file manager integrated to APEX website

    I have APEX 4.2 website with few user accounts. I would like to share approximately 100 GB of documents to users. Some documents will be public (in some public folder) and everyone with account in my website will be able to download that public files. And some files/folders will be with restricted access and only user with appropriate credentials will be able to download it.
    I would like to find some cheap cloud file storage.
    Some storage that offers plugin/component = file manager that will be integrated to my APEX website and authentication will be transparent to my users (authentication with some API or URL). Every user will see only his files. I want some ready to use component and call only minimum API.
    I would like to integrate that storage to my website or call some user specific URL and redirect my user to some page with file manager.
    All files will be read only for all users.
    Thanks for some tips

    what will you be using for your file manager?  Or do you even know yet?
    I do not have tons of experience but if I had to come up with a solution I would build the interface with APEX and use the database to store the files inside so you can control access.
    You can create a procedure that takes in parameters like username, session id, encrypted session id from the browser cookie and either return the file or give the user an error message letting them know they arent authorized.  You could use plugins to give the users a better file managing experience like the 'multiple file upload' plugin that allows AJAX based multiple file uploading.
    Id put this on an amazon EC2 cloud micro instance.  It's uber cheap.

  • Problem with page submit and opening a popup.

    Hello All,
    Apex 3.1.2
    I have a button that submits a page and opens a pop-up. I'm new to javascript so I'm really hacking my way through this, so syntax tips are very useful :)
    I'm using the code below on the button, my popup opens but then my main page seems to refresh and immediately covers up the popup. How do I get the popup to stay in front of the main page? Is there a problem with my main page submit?
    Here's my URL target for the button...
    javascript:doSubmit('ADD_TO_GROUP');javascript:popUp2('f?p=&APP_ID.:2:&SESSION.::::P2_OPPORTUNITY_NUMBER: &P6_OPPORTUNITY_NUMBER.');
    Thanks Much!
    p.s. ADD_TO_GROUP is my button name, am I using that correctly in doSubmit? It seems like I can put anything there and I still get the same behavior.

    --> Are your on/after submit processes conditional?
    For the javascript, you could also try to put the javascript code into an html region of your page, with condition set to a REQUEST value, or the value of an item that you set on submit.It looks like what's happening is the page is branching back to itself and that's why my the popup is pushed to the background. I created a conditon on the branch that said request != "ADD_TO_GROUP" (my button request). This kept the focus on my popup but gave me the error that the page had no branch!
    How do I get my main page to submit and the popup to appear IN FRONT of the main page?
    Thanks!

  • Scripting 'Save PSD as PDF with password security' and 'Open PDF with password security' issue.

    Hi!
    I'm now building an extension for Photoshop. The script (jsx) should save the active document as Photoshop PDF secured with a password. The PW is the same all the time and is set in the script. Then the script is to open the PDF with that same password. I need all this to protect the PDF from opening by a user, so that only the script has access to the file.
    I've googled a lot. I've seen a similar topic on this community dated as 2012. It's not answered. With an only comment saying that saving with a password seems to be possible via GUI and not via a script.
    Has anything changed since 2012?
    P.S. Illustrator .documentPassword and .requireDocumentPassword don't work in PS and ScriptListener still gives nothing :-/

    ScriptListener still gives nothing
    Which probably means the task is (still) not possible to achieve with Photoshop Scripting.
    Both Photoshop DOM and AM seem to have weaknesses/omissions that I would consider more relevant but if you regard the issue as crucial you may want to post a Feature Request over at

  • Issue with PDF links and opened Adobe files

    I have tested and IE 8 opens correct links inside PDF's.
    When I open link in Mozilla or Chrome it will not work.
    Is this related to Adobe Plugin which is installed inside Add-ons?
    Strange is that link inside PDF shows the following link:resource://pdf.js/web/
    After checking support issues there was quoted in the past:
    The current Firefox 27 beta release still doesn't show the links properly using version 0.8.641, but the current Aurora 28.0a2 build does show the links to the Appendices properly using version 0.8.759.
    So that would mean that when Firefox 28 gets released in March it will work for users with this Firefox version.

    This is likely a problem with the way those links are coded in the PDF file, so the file may have to be saved again using different settings to make it work with PDF Viewers other than the Adobe Reader.
