10.8 Server - AFP Guest access not working

Hi Folks
I have a brand new Mac Mini server running the latest 10.8.4 and Server.app from the app store (10.8 / v2 / whatever it's called these days).  I have everything up and running perfectly except that no matter what I do when users connect via AFP there is no option for them to connect as guest.  It literally just does not even show up in the login dialog.
I have several AFP share points setup to allow guest access, I have enabled the option in System Prefs->Users and Groups->Guest User->Allow guests to connect to shared folders.  I have even also enabled it via command line tool; serveradmin settings afp:guestAccess = yes
But no matter what I do any machines connecting (either via browsing to the server via finder and connecting or directly from "Connect to server" using the afp:// URI approach) the login dialog doesn't give us the option to select to connect as guest -- it's just not there at all in the dialog box.
This is fairly urgent, a few more days and this server needs to go into production at our school here and this is essential for the way we need to do things.  A little more background information:  we are bound to both a local OD setup and a campus wide AD setup (not sure if any of this matters or not).
Help and thanks!

And I guess toggling File Sharing on and off about a dozen times it seems to have finally picked up and is allowing guest access to work :/  Answer my own question!

  • Need help getting guest access to work.

    I have searched and Googled and found very little about enabling temporary guest access on an AEBS.
    What I could find said just type in "the PIN number." OK, what PIN number? It appears that the device seeking access is supposed to supply it somehow and then I type it in while using the Airport Utility. I see no such number on the device. I also tried the "first one to try" method and got nowhere.
    In both cases I was using an iPhone that wanted to use my network. Does this work with iPhones?
    Many thanks,
    -dan

    This thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4088108&#4088108 looked helpful but I can't get guest access to work for my son's guest using a Dell XP laptop (using Dell wireless management) despite allowing timed access. Neither the PIN nor the first attempt option allowed him on the network without giving him our password.
    It's still not clear if or when this will work. At the very least, the documentation is terrible.

  • Group Chat feature in Office Communications Server 2007 R2 does not work in Windows Server 2008 R2 domains

       Hello to all, there are two confliting articles about this topic:
       1-
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/upgrade-domain-controllers-to-windows-server-2008-r2(v=ws.10).aspx#BKMK_Whatsnew : this one says that it does not work "The Group Chat feature in Office Communications Server 2007 R2 does not work in Windows
    Server 2008 R2 domains". This article was updated in 2013.
       2-
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee692314(office.13).aspx: this other article says that it will function "Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Group Chat will function in a Windows Server 2008 R2 forest". This article was updated in
    2010 and was refered by the first one.
       What is the correct support position for Group Chat feature in Office Communications Server 2007 R2 and Windows Server 2008 R2 domains?
       Regards, EEOC.

    Hi,
    I notice the following sentence in the link below “Office Communications Server 2007 R2, Group Chat will not function in a Windows Server 2008 R2 forest or when Group Chat member servers are joined to a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain.
    We know of an issue with changes in Windows 2008 R2 that requires a Group Chat Client and Group Chat Admin Tools hotfix. The Group Chat Client and Group Chat Admin Tools hotfixes are currently scheduled for mid-April 2010.”
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/nexthop/archive/2010/11/06/supportability-for-office-communications-server-2007-r2-and-windows-server-2008-r2.aspx
    So in my opinion, if you update to the latest version of Windows Server 2008 R2, OCS Server 2007 R2 and Group Chat Client, Group Chat Admin Tools to the latest version, it should work.
    However, the best method for you is make a lab to test the problem firstly.

  • Guest SSID not working

    Hi all, im trying to configure the MSM760 to work with Guest SSID via HTML authentication.im facing the problem that i can get IP address, i can ping to outside, but i cant open anything in the broswer, it seems there is DNS resolving issue.anyway.i have disconnected this controller from teaming yesterday, and the team works with two SSID's1. NPS SSID which is used for Domain users authentication2. HTML uses authentication  the NPS SSID was always ok, but the Guest was not working, and as i understand from some reading in here that the Guest SSID will not work properly in Teaming.so i disconnected this Controller and and changed the management IP address to new range. and started to test but i didnt get success with browsing.also the NPS authentication on it stopped and i cant get it to work. any advice? thanks in advance.

    FYI this is for HP wireless product and networking not support another company product. For that you need to go to their support site and ask for further help from them.

  • Server side mailrules are not working!

    Hi,
    on my Lion Server the server side mailrules are not working.
    I created about 4 different rules via the webmail interface but none of them are applied to incoming mails :-/
    They were working back in the days I used 10.5 and 10.6 Server (this was not upgraded!).
    Are server side mailrules are working for you?
    Any assistance would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Eldrik

    Nevermind... got it sorted out..
    My rules are based on the senders email address and switching from "is equal" to "contains" (sorry only got the translation from German) did the trick!

  • E4200 Guest Network Not Working

    I cannot get the Guest Network feature to work.
    Even though Guest SSID is enabled, it does not show up on any devices attempting to connect. Manually connecting by entering the Guest SSID fails (not recognized). On devices with the primary 5 and 2.4 GHz configured they do see the third network but without SSID (unknown) and are also unable to connect to it manually using the SSID.
    Here are my settings:
    Firmware: 1.0.02
    E4200 is configured in Bridge mode (WAP).
    5 GHz Network
    Mode Mixed
    SSID Astro2-an

    SSID Broadcast Disabled
    2.4 GHz Network
    Mode Mixed

    I did not try this before 1.0.02. Have rebooted modem and verified all configs (multiple times). The network is live in an office and can't keep screwing with it or drastically changing its settings.

    I have now tried 3 of these routers and the problem as I see it is when you set the E4200 to bridege mode with a static IP then the client receives a .33.x address receive the E4200's default gateway and a .33.1 as the dns servers. I don't see how the clients could resolve dns with these 2 entries.
    Alas, I have think I have now figured out why some people can connect using the E4200 in bridge mode as a guest and some cannot. It is my belief that Cisco needs to update the firmware to allow you to enter dns values on the staic page because if you set the E4200 to obtain an IP address automatically then it receives good DNS info. You can verify my results by looking at the staus page in staic and dynamic mode.
    I hope this helps people that are having problems.......
    (Mod Note: Edited due to non-compliance of forum guidelines.)
    Your findings are correct. However I don't see where adding a static DNS would work. What Cisco needs to do is provide the DNS of the connected gateway for internet access when in bridge mode for guest connections. Then restrict routing to just the gateway for internet access and no local routing.

  • Guest WiFi not working with DHCP disable

    Hello,
    I am using my "server" for handling DHCP requests, in the past i used my router to perform this task.
    After disabling my DHCP server on the router i found out my guest WiFi is not working anymore. It seems it keeps searching for a DHCP server to get an IP but i am not sure whether this is the problem.
    Could someone help me with this problem and hand me a solution or alternative, i really would like my guest wifi to work.
    Thanks in advance.

    Not sure when or if it will be. You'll need to keep an eye on main web site for udpates and release notes. This may not be fixed as Guest WiFi may depend on DHCP to be enabled. It will be up to Linksys to figure this out. 

  • Timed Access not working on new Airport Extreme (802.11n).

    I bought a new Airport Extreme (802.11n) to use as a router for my network. The network has a mixture of Macs and PCs, using a mixture of wired and wireless connections.
    I configured the security settings with on the Airport Extreme to Timed Access. I set the default setting is to No Access.
    Three computers are set with "Everyday, Between 8:00am and 11:00pm"; however, when it's 11:00pm, nothing happens. The three computers continue to have access.
    I know the MAC addresses I entered are correct. Does anyone know why the Timed Access is not working?

    Yes, the printer was initially set the same way it always was on my old router. It used to pop right up on the list. After I switched I was getting communication errors. Ok, new setup, I wasn't worried yet. When I got to the setup window and it a new printer wasn't found I tried updating drivers. No luck. I then used the IPP mode to enter the IP address with the address on the Canon screen. It failed. I then did the same setup telling it which software from the driver list to use. It still could not see it. The odd part is that the Canon can obviously  see the router as its LAN setting read active and it is receiving the IP. I have proceeded to play with every setting on the printer and it is back to factory reset. Oh, I should mention that I have also tried to use Canons network setup utility software and it can not find the connection either. So I really think this is a problem within the router. I have seen many complaints about this on other forums, but most were looking to use the usb on the print server. My Airport is nowhere near my printer and I don't want to lose my all-in-one functions. Some think hard lined ethernet is ancient, but it really is a nice setup. Fast and reliable.

  • Won't connect to server - hotmail and BBM not working.

    Hey BB Community,
    I have two problems which I think may be connected through my phone's inability to connect to the server. 
    - First off, my contacts can't receive my BBM messages. I can write and send them off but they aren't received.
    - Secondly, my email account (hotmail) is not working on my BB. It's supposedly connected and logged in, yet I don't receive any mails on my phone, nor do contacts receive anything I send. When I try to access my email account options, a message pops up stating "Your device had a problem connecting to the server." 
    Everything was working fine before I had to duplicate my SIM card (it was scratched somehow) and battery.
    So my question is, how do I reconnect my BB to the server?
    Would appreciate the help, thanks.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
    2) Delete and Resend Service Books
    KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
    If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
    3) Reboot
    With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should again try deleting and re-adding your configurations for the affected email accounts. Otherwise, you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
    Good luck!

  • Priviledge access not working.

    Hi,
    After entering “enable” the device doesn’t prompt for any password – just refuses access by “ Error in Authentication”.
    Config:
    enable secret 4 AbzRD.
    aaa new-model
    aaa group server tacacs+ server
    server 10.12.39.18
    aaa authentication login default local enable
    (Priv level 15 and the access for the same is not working)
    Issue:
    When I hit enable it's not providing/prompting me for any password - it says " Error in Authentication".
    FarihaASR>en
    % Error in authentication.
    This happens after I upgraded to firmware to 15.1(S1) on ASR1006.
    Any help would be appriciated.
    Regards,
    FAri

    does your ASR have access to your TACACS+ server?
    it appears that there is an authentication problem.  did anything eles change?

  • Back to my mac guest password not working or changeable

    Hello,
    I'm trying to connect to my mom's macbook pro (2010 Leopard) using Back to My Mac. I am running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) on my iMac (2Ghz Intel Core Duo). I am unable to upgrade to Lion because my iMac is too old.
    I have upgraded my mobile me account to iCloud but I am still using Back to My Mac with my Mobile Me information. 
    I have gone through all the steps for entering mobile me acct info on both computers, turned file and screen sharing on - on my mom's mac, turned off her firewall, turned off virus barrier, etc.
    I am able to reach the point where my finder window shows her computer and I can click on it. 
    My trouble is that when I click Connect As, there is no option to connect with an Apple ID.  There is only an option to connect as a guest or registered user.  I can connect as a guest, but then, when I try to use screen sharing, I still need a name and password. Nothing I have used has worked.
    If I try to Connect As, as a registered user, I have the same problem. 
    Thanks a lot for any help.

    I finally figured it out.  Needed to update her Airport firmware and allow guest access, and also changed Sharing preferences to Allow Access for All Users.
