AUto-binding via DHCP LDAP info

In OSX 10.5 (client) there was an option in Directory Utility called "Add DHCP-supplied LDAP servers to automatic search policies". 10.6 (client) doesn't appear to have this option.
Can anyone tell me if I can set 10.6 clients to auto-bind to an OD domain based on DHCP info or do I need to manually join from each client (and then re-join if the server name changes)?

Looks like this feature has been discontinued.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3844
I've very disappointed as I've come to rely on this feature at many of the school districts that I manage.
There are ways to script binding to a server, but I loved the DHCP feature as I could change out an LDAP server during a school year and just update DHCP in one place to switch all of my clients to the new server.

Rc.local script to bind and add ldap server

Greetings All,
For the past few years, I've used the script below to bind and add authentication servers to my client machines. The process is simple enough, copy the rc.local script (ref'd below) to /etc/ as root and reboot the client. The problem now, is I don't know if this will work in 10.6. As I read this script, I realized there have been enough changes in location of files and file names between 10.5 and 10.6 that this script isn't going to work.
My question to you guys is this: Is anyone else taking care of their binding/auth services in a similar manner? If so, would you mind sharing the script you're using?
Thanks,
-dave

The first thing I would verify is if you can connect and traverse your Active Directory/Domain Controller using Softerra's free ldap browser.
1. Softerra ldap browser link
http://download.softerra.com/files/ldapbrowser26.msi
Put in the IP/hostname of the domain controller, use the same BASE DN, and user credentials that you used on the IronPort appliance.
I would highly recommend that you create a separate account for the IronPort. (i.e. ironportldap). Do this so that you don't have to worry about accidentially resetting the password and then forgetting to update the IronPort appliance.
2. Once you've verified that you can connect and see your tree, use the same settings from Softerra ldap browser and put them in the IronPort ldap interface.
Try this for your Accept query string
(|(mail={a})(proxyAddresses=smtp:{a}))
3. If it still fails, enable the ldap debug log if you haven't already and paste in the error.
We are trying to add an LDAP Server Profile but everytime we try to test the Accept Query we get an
"Error - Error: configuration error" message.
We are using AD, top of the tree for base DN. dc=domain, dc=local.
We tried communicating with 2 different servers via telnet on ports 389, 3268, both are open.
Tried port 389 and 3268, no SSL, Anynomous and User Password authentication methods.
The error left us clueless since we followed the instructions on the user manual.
For the accept query we tried this query string: (proxyAddresses=smtp:{a})
Any ideas or pointers to what could be causing this are very appriciated.
Thanks.
Ed.

WRT54G: Static mode set on WAN side, but still sometimes pulls address via DHCP!

We've had (6) WRT54G (v5) installed in a building, for about (2) years now, with no previous problems. Now, ALL of them are doing something weird. They are all set for Static mode on the WAN side (we have static ip addresses for these), yet every now and then they will spontaneously pull an address via DHCP on their own. When they do this, the setting itself doesn't change. It will still show "STATIC" in the pull down list. But, the address will no longer be the address we assigned to the unit, and will instead appear to be an address that it pulled via DHCP.
Thanks, in advance, for any help and insight into this strange problem.
David

Ah. In that case, we're not going to put our client through the frustration of chasing a ghost in the machine. We'll just replace them with new ones. But, I'll try this on them in my spare time and let you know how it goes.
Thanks for your assistance,
David

Error: Sender agreement not found, lookup of binding via CPA-CACHE failed.

Hi,
I am doing an RFC to File Scenario in which RFC has to be triggered from CRM system. The TCP/IP connection and communication Channel are working fine. But when i trigger my RFC using the RFC destination following errors occur:
1. The SYSTEM_FALIURE exception comes on CRM side.
2. In adapter monitoring the following error comes on XI side:
Error: Sender agreement not found, lookup of binding via CPA-CACHE failed for Adapter type RFC.
I have also tried the scenario with RFC request as source message and also after J2EE cache refresh but the problem still persists. And one more thing my file adapter (In receiver communication channel) is not working means it is not started. And no message is coming in SXMB_MONI.
Could anyone please help me to resolve this issue.

Vinay Yadav

Hi Aaron,
I had the same error and your feedback solved my problem!
Thank you sooo much!!!!

Clients can not obtain an ip-address via DHCP.

HI all, I would like to share one problem with WLC 5508 .
we added a new virtual interface on the WLC. One new SSID is associated with this interface.
We created a ACL for this interface to restrict the access via WIFI to certian services.
The following services are allowed on this ACL:
TCP-Traffic for HTTPS
UDP-Traffic for DNS
UDP-Traffic for DHCP
TCP-Traffic for HTTP
ICMP-Traffic
TCP-Traffic for CITRIX
The Problem is, as soon as we add a new service to this ACL, we need to reboot the Controller because the Clients which are working over WIFI do not get a IP-Address assigned via DHCP.
It´s not correct that everything works fine because the change were not applied.
The changes of the ACL are applied on the fly, but for reason we don´t know, the clients don´t get a DHCP IP-Address (after changing the ACL) until the Controller is rebooted.
I am attaching configruation from affected wlc
thank you

If shop is coming from a server on the LAN you need to add DHCP as a port they can reach.

ER: restricting auto binded objects types 11g.

When we want to create an autobind between a backing bean and a JSF web page, bindings code is created for all object on the page. Even panel box, faced etc.
There is many lines of code on backing bean. We d'ont even use one time for many object type.
In general we use input text, list item etc. Others are unnecessery.
In my opinion if there is a configuration which supplies to chose binded item types it will be very good.
lines of code will be decreased in backing bean and complexy is decreased too.
For example just input test item can be autobind.
Thanks.

Hi,
When I first started out with this, I thought the autobind function was pretty neat as I thought it would save me time and effort from having to bind objects myself. Boy, was I wrong. Adding/removing anything from the Jspx page while debugging requires a restart. That was enough to stop me from using it further.
When you create a new JSF Page, click on *"Page Implementation"* and make sure you have the *"Do Not Automatically Expose UI Components in a Managed Bean"* selected. That way, you won't get into the trouble you are in. I agree with Frank that you should only bind components when and if you need to only. If you have already created the page and would like it to stop automatically binding each UI component, follow the steps below:
1) Open your JSPX page in source code view, remove the commented line below.
Optionally, you can replace it with the following code to point to your managed bean that handles the user actions.
2) Open faces-config.xml in source code view, and look for your backingBean that is auto Binding each UI component. Within its <managed-bean>...</managed-bean> tags, you will see another oracle-jdev comment like the one below. Remove that as well.
JDev should stop autobinding / removing UI components from the backing bean now.

"senderAgreement not found: lookup of binding via CPA-cache failed for..."

Hi,
     I have configured asynchronous sender RFC to JDBC scenario and when I execute RFC I get short dump "senderAgreement not found: lookup of binding via CPA-cache failed for..."
     My scenario configurations, RFC destination, are all okey..
A Hint:
     Our XI Server is "LARA"
     Our R/3 4.6C Server is "ZULIA"
This are the RFC Sender Communication Channel on LARA:
     RFC Server Parameter
     Application Server (Gateway):           ZULIA
     Application Server Service (Gateway):      sapgw00
     Program ID:                     DEV210

     Set Adapter-Specific Message Attributes: NOT CHECKED
This are the configuration of RFC Destination on ZULIA:
     RFC Destination Name:                XI_RFC
     Connection Type:               T
     ID Program:                    DEV210
     Host Gateway:                    ZULIA
     TCP Service                    sapgw00
Must I create the RFC Destination on the JCo RFC Provider in Visual Administrator?

<i>Is the RFC destination created in the R/3 is pointing correctly to the XI system and vice -versa. Test the connection.</i>
I tested my RFC Destination from R/3 system and the response was successful. What do you mean about vice-versa? How do I test it in the other way?.
I recreate my Sender Agreement. And my Business System is correct.
This are the parameters of my Sender Agreement:
Service:     DES210_DEV
Interface:     Z_DATOS_SAP
Namespace:     urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions
Sender Communnication Channel: cc_s_rfc_dataCom
When I execute the FM in R/3 the dump now is:
Wrong Sender Agreement:The Sender agreement does not have channel

Can I select which components will have auto binding turned on?

To be honest, the only reason I don't use JDeveloper full time is due to this reason only.
Can I select which components will have auto binding turned on?
I don't see the need or reason to bind every single component in the page to your backing bean.
This can clutter up your backing bean and all the searching for the bindings that I do care about is a real time waster.
I've looked at the preferences and settings without much luck, thus I'd appreciate any thoughts on this topic.
Thanks,
--Todd

To make sure I understand your response, your refering to Managed Beans as your Backing Beans - I thought the two were the same thing.
Moving on, that is a good idea and I'll try it right now in a test project.
Thanks,

How add auto binding backing bean to a jspx page

A few times during development, I didn't check "automatically expose UI components to in a manage bean" when the jspx page was first created.
Can someone tell if there is a way to add auto binding backing bean to the page later?
Thanks

Hi Deborah,
when your JSPX page is active, select menu Design -> Page Properties...
Click Tab Component Binding
Select Auto Bind and select (or create with New) your Managed Bean

Wireless on 1811W not getting IP via DHCP

What am I doing wrong? The wireless client authenticates to the router, but doesn't get an IP via DHCP? Help??

Hi Jeff,
Just now got the chnace to apply your suggestions and test. Still no go.
Here's the updated config.
Just want the wireless to be an extension of the wired network - no "guest" access required - so no additional DHCP pool/rules to apply.

No IP Address via DHCP connecting to Cisco WiFi via WPA - after update

Good Evening,
We use Cisco Aeronet WiFi devices at work and use WPA security. I was able to successfully connect via my MacBook Pro until an OS update a few weeks ago. Now I can connect and it appears that I authenticate - however I cannot get a valid IP address (just a 169.x.x.x address).
I can successfully connect to open and WEP networks - but WPA is an issue.
Is this a known issue?
I have applied the latest Airport update I believe.

This is an old issue, I have yet to see a fix. I have the same problem; my MBP assigns its own IP address, and no matter what I do, it will connect to the network but not the internet. Interestingly, when I boot my iBook, which I first did to check settings (the iBook always connected easily) the MBP connected. It does this every time. As soon as the iBook boots, or wakes, the MBP does its thing, gets a valid IP address via DHCP, and connects. Even entering a manual address, will not connect the MBP to the internet. Deleting ports, and locations doesn't help.The MBP has connected on its own about three times out of (say) a hundred. Apple engineers here in Australia, said they'd never heard of the problem. Maybe they are asleep. Bah.

Help! - Bind Request to LDAP Failed

Active Directory (AD) uses port 389 as default, I fixed my problem by changing my OID configuration set to use another port.
Hope this could help you.

Radius, and DHCP DNS info

I have recently turned on the Radius server, and it seems to work fine, and has taken control of my Airport base station which is great. I only have one problem which is that the DHCP info provided by the server to the clients only seems to give one of the 2 DNS addresses that I have listed in the DHCP server info section. This is rather frustrating as it worked fine with WPA!
Any thoughts?

I just upgraded from a 2008 domain to 2012. I followed all the best practices, set up new 2012 DC and transferred all roles to it then removed the 2008 server. I just have the one DC at the moment and it's running both DNS and DHCP. Ever since we've had some odd DNS issues which usually require a reboot of the server to fix. Now at this point I'm digging through DNS and DHCP and seeing that a lot of client IP addresses are not matching up. DNS does not have the correct IP's for several clients. How can I fix dns?

DHCP : ldap config

Hello everyone,
I manage MAC OS X Server since 10.3 and always found my way...
But this time I can't make the automatic configuration of clients in Directory Manager working.
It stays blank :
10.6.2 (server & client)
changeip -checkhostname (ok)
dhcp address (ok)
DHCP (ldap tab) :
server name : master.oceans.eu
dc=master,dc=oceans,dc=eu
port to default
SSL not activated
the client is configured to automatically set the LDAP server in contact & authentication
Please HELP !
thanks in advance
Etienne
[EDIT]
I can't get Keberos to work, it prompts for the login/pass of the administrator, maybe that's part of the solution...

Kerberos was working actually, but the window failed to update.
I still have problem with Directory Access, and now fighting with NetBoot !
What is it with this system !!!! "easier and most powerful server on earth" ... whatever !

Auto Bind in OMB*Plus

Hello,
Can I use the "auto bind" feature to bind a dimension to a table from OMB*plus? How? Or do I need to map it all manually if I want to script it?
rergards,

You can use autobind from scripting also, so construct your dimension definition and then using something like;
OMBALTER DIMENSION 'YOURDIMENSION' IMPLEMENTED BY SYSTEM STAR
Cheers
