Anyone using 802.1x credentials from login window

I have created a multitude of mobile configs in profile manager(server) but cannot get it to pass the user credentials from the login window in the dot1x reply to an identify, it always uses the machine name. Has anyone done this ? Windows does it fine(machine credentials when no one logged on and username/password when they log on) and from what I can glean online it looks like it should be doable. It also looks like I ought to be able to use the domain\userid format when logging on but it doesn't seem to recognize that - traces show no activity(dot1x or ldap) when used.

I am having the same problem at my university network. I believe it has something to do with this part of the article you quoted:
"Once configured, when a network user enters their user name and password at the Mac OS X login window, the system attempts to connect to the 802.1X network with the same user name and password. This connection is necessary to authenticate the user to a network server."
It's not perfectly clear, but it seems the username and password for the 802.1X connection must match the username and password at login. Lame, if you ask me.
I'm also having a different problem on my network: My wife and I have separate accounts on our Mac, and every time we switch between users the 802.1X disconnects for some reason. Very annoying, but I guess it has something to do with a genuine user authentication - not a computer authentication, if that makes sense.

NIS authentication from login window issues?

Hi,
I've a bunch of new iMacs that arrived this week, and I'm trying to get them integrated into our existing network, using NFS mounted /home and NIS for authentication, but I'm have some issues ...
NFS mounting: no problem, this works just fine, and is mounted on boot
NIS: this is where I start having issues, ypwhich shows the correct server, ypcat passwd can get the passwd from remotely and shows everything, and I can login using ssh or even sudo to an NIS user without any issues, HOWEVER, I can't login from the login window, I just get the window doing its little shake showing an authentication failure, and nothing seems to show up in the log files to indicate what the problem may be.
Anyone got any further ideas as to what to check? I have a number of older macs that are able to do this fine, just the newly arrived ones are having these problems

Did you tell the system to authenticate against NIS?
Just because you're bound to a directory server, that doesn't mean you'll automatically use that server for logins.
Check Directory Access -> Authentication and make sure your NIS configuration is listed in the directories used for authentication.
The order of entries here is important, too. They're following in a top-down fashion until the first match is found. This means that if you have a user 'joe' in the local domain, an Open Directory server and in NIS and you're checking in that order, it will authenticate the user against the local account and the Open Directory account before it checks NIS, and if the username is found in one of those two options it won't query the NIS server at all.

Missing user from login window at startup

I upgraded to Yosemite a few weeks ago and have had a problem with a user I migrated from Mavericks. The user won't show up in the login window at startup but will once I login with a different user and then logout back to the login window. How can I get my migrated user to show up in the login window at startup?
I did a clean install of Yosemite and then used Migration Assistant to move over my old user from a Mavericks install. My original plan was to import my old user's Document and other data directories and copy them over to a new user's home directory so that my data would be available but I'd clean out old application settings by not moving that as well. Due to how Migration Assistant worked and my disinterest in diving into the details to make this work, I ended up using the migrated account instead.
Here's the problem, the migrated account was using a different home directory path than I preferred ("user_migrated" rather than "user"). I modified pertinent settings in the advanced configuration form available in the Users & Groups preference pane. Everything appears to work fine, except this user does not show up in the login window when I first boot up the machine. If I login to another user, then log out, my migrated user appears and I'm able to login.
I've looked around in Users & Groups and checked settings, but I'm not seeing any difference between my migrated user's settings and other user's (who does show up in the login window) settings.
If anyone has any suggestions, please share!

Found the answer in a post from 2012:
User accounts not appearing in login window
The problem was the migrated user was not authorized to unlock the disk. This is easily fixed by opening up FileVault settings and enabling the missing users.

Macbook will not return from login window

Hi,
I ran some updates on my sytem yesterday and since then when I select login window if I am away from my machine and then return, it will not come out of the login window. It does not give me the login screen even? Any ideas on how to fix this?

Probably to late but just in case....
Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
After that Repair Permissions.
No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.

Has anyone got Airport Disk working from a Windows PC?

The title says it all really!
Just wondered if I'm the only one having trouble with the new Airport extreme..
Alex

Hello everybody.
I have no problems accessing USB disks on my AEBS from any Windows computer, but I have the same problem as ashealey.
I have connected my new HFS+ preformatted LaCie 500GB minihub (designed to be stacked under a MacMini- but also looks ok under the Airport) to my also new Airport Extreme (802.11n). After connecting the disk, the disk appears with a nice picture on my MacBook. And I have no problems accessing the disk from Windows - both wireless and wired.
I have copied lots of data, incl. backup (> 16GB) from my MacBook to the Airport connected LaCie disk witout any problems.
From Windows I can create directories, and read/write files. And I can copy large amounts (>16GB) from the Airport disk to my Windows computers. But when I try, as you, to copy large data quantities from Windows to my Airport disk, my Airport Extreme and/or LaCie harddisk crashes as you describe. It is not enough to re-start the Airport. I also have to re-start the LaCie disk (I unplug both devices, and re-power them). I only ran one copy at a time, so it has nothing to do with simultainousl access.
Hope the cause of this problem can be found soon. I guess the problem is in the Airport Extreme.
I cannot understand, why Apple have released this Airport Extreme without having tried this simple test: Copy more than 20MB from a Windows PC to the Airdisk. I think Apple is loosing some of its fans, if the problem is not solved very fast. One of the reasons I selected the Airport Extreme, instead of using my current TopCom wireless router was the Airdisk possibility. This is more flexible than buying a seperate LAN disk. But if it doesn't work, what's the point?

Anyone Using Navigon GPS found a Good Window Mount?

I think I've decided on Navigon rather than TomTom, but I have not as yet found a window mount, other than TomTom's, that has a built in GPS booster, can charge the iPhone, and route voice prompts through your stereo speakers.
Anyone using Navigon...Have you found a good window mount with the features as noted above? Apple Canada does not stock the TomTom mount. :o(
Thank you for your help.

You can get the TomTom car kit from the TomTom store when it's available: http://www.tomtom.com/products/product.php?ID=1019&Lid=4&Category=2
You can also use the Magellan Premium car kit when it's available: http://www.magellangps.com/iphone/iphoneappcarkit.asp

Internet connect: Exporting 802.1x config to login window

Hi,
We are trying to setup our macbooks to login to our wireless network by authenticating against active directory. I've followed all the steps in the following article
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303471
but as far as I can see internet connect is failing to export the 802.1x config to the login window as nothing is being added to the com.apple.loginwindow plist file and the login doesn't work.
Has anyone managed to do this?
Does anyone know the setting to manually add to the com.apple.loginwindow file to make it work?
Thanks

User accounts dissapear from login window after upgrade

I upgraded a MBP from Tiger 10.4.11 to Leopard--standard upgrade (not archive & install). It looked like everything went well, but upon reboot, there are no accounts listed, only 'Other'. Both Admin accounts on the machine seem to have vanished as far as the login window is concerned. All accounts are still on the machine in terms of data/user folders; with files intact (viewed them via target disk mode). Machine has around 90GB of data so would like to avoid having to do an archive & install on top of this--hoping there is a quick fix for this. Any ideas?

can you log in as root using "other"? use [this link|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1278] to reset the root password if you haven't set up one.

Airport Express used to receive music from a Windows box?

Can an Airport Express be connected to speakers and receive music files wirelessly from a Windows computer with iTunes on it?
Thanks.

in theory yes... i have an ibook, mac mini and xp box... of course the ibook and mac mini see and play music effortlessly through speakers plugged in to the airport express... the confounded windows box sees the speakers but when i select them from the drop down menu in iTunes, it attempts to connect but comes back with base station not compatible with this version of iTunes... i really think it is a windows "problem" but APPLE pitches this product as windows compatible and was "sold" on the we will support it pitch from apple store but have received no satisfaction to that end as of yet... if i have to i am going to bring the xp box in to the apple genius and let them have a go.. i started an informal survey re: this issue in an earlier post to see if ANYONE has successfully made this work on windows box... oddly enough or should i say not odd at all NO positive reponses!

Has anyone used the Applesause Polish from Invisible Shield!

Has anyone used that stuff?
Does it work?
What about on a 3G iPod?
Thanks

I bought it and I think it´s really good. I test it against a macbook pro 13" and I found it very similar in times, sometimes the Sonnet reader beat the built in reader, usually not but sometimes it did.
It´s a little tricky to put the cards into the reader but I guess that becuse that way it´s harder to push the card out by mistake.
I also love that it can live on my macbook pro becuse it fits perfectly, no need to put it on and off evertime I use it.
But the one you are saying is not the one I bought, becuse it´s almost 50 usd the one I have

I also bought the dual compac flash reader and I also love it, it´s extremly fast
Sorry that I didn´t answer faster but I was working and I never get the advice that I had a message.

Anyone using Ichat Theater Preview from within AE 5.5*

I've got AE5.5, and I'm trying to use Ichat theater preview output. No luck. Works from within fcp7, all other output options work. Have a blackmagic intensity pro card installed on my macpro. Is this working for anyone? Running Snow Leopard.
Sorry if this has been discussed before. New to Adobe forums. Did some searching here and googled without any luck.

Reset the LaunchServices database by copying and pasting this one-line command into a Terminal window (/Applications/Utilities/) and hitting the return key, restart, and reassociate the desired file types with Preview:
*/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchS ervices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user*

Anyone using Garritan Personal Orchestra from an external HD?

I'm trying to transfer samples to my new external drive, and am having trouble with GPO. I tried making an alias for the GPO library folder, but with no luck. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

To restore the /User folder, you can use the procedure outlined in section III.C of "Mac OS X: How to back up and restore your files."
For the /Applications folder, you may or may not have much luck restoring its items from the backup. The reinstall of OS X (plus updates) will properly install bundled apps, so there is no need to restore them. For third party apps, some may work OK if just drag-copied into the new /Applications folder, but others won't. This is because many apps, particularly those that use installers, install supporting files in other locations, like /Library/Application Support, or in the Help system. Without a copy of the /Library or /System folder, you have no way to restore these items without doing a reinstall.

Can I transfer and use photoshop CS5 program from my windows 7 laptop onto new windows 8 HP allinone

I no longer use the full capacity of my CS5 program, being now retired. however I am soon getting a new All in one PC with touchscreen and operating on Windows 8.
I am wondering whether I can transfer my CS5 program onto this new machine, or whether to go for the simpler elements 11 program.
any ideas most welcome

Hi,
If you are going to use CS5 program on your New Machine (Win 8) then you need to Deactivate the License from the Old machine.

Has anyone used SuperDuper to go from C2D to SR?

Has anyone here upgraded to the new santa rosa MBP from the C2D MBP and used SuperDuper to clone their system? I need to do just that and was wondering if the computer will boot and be fully functioning. I think this is the easiest way to transfer everything since I won't have my C2D MBP when I receive my SR MBP.
If this is not possible because of hardware issues, will the clone of my current system mount as an external fw drive on the SR? This way I guess I could manually copy my files over to SR.
Thanks

I would not advise doing this unless the build number on the SR machine is exactly the same as the one on the C2D. With most all new hardware releases the OS X build is usually unique for that hardware until the next general version of OS X is released. Therefore, cloning from the C2D very likely won't work.
To check the build versions select About This Mac from the Finder's Apple menu. Click on the OS X version number (10.4.9, for example) to reveal the current build version. If the build version of the SR installed OS X is not the same as that of the C2D then do not clone either operating system to either machine.
Instead use Migration Assistant.

Anyone using the Canon MV850i from the UK Apple store for iChat AV?

Just want to check it really does work with iChat and iMovie before purchase.
Thanks

Mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hi Paul
It is not in the list http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/camcorders.html BUT read under the tabs and before the list.
Also The list will not load for me properly. It would normally have a date of Modification on the bottom.
From memory that was Jan 2005 - so newer cams will not be in the list anyway.
