Autostart svnserve on OS Lion Server

Hello,
I tried to get svnserve to start automaticallyon Lion Server (10.7.2) but when I use the plist from 10.6 on 10.7 I get:
root @ /library/launchdaemons $ launchctl start svnserve.plist
launchctl start error: No such process
but when I execute the following command in Terminal it works:
/usr/bin/svnserve -d -r /Users/svn
This is the plist I try it with:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
   <dict>
          <key>Label</key>
      <string>svnserve</string>
          <key>OnDemand</key>
                    <false/>
          <key>Program</key>

                    </array>
          <key>ServiceDescription</key>
                    <string>SVN Version Control System</string>
          </dict>
</plist>
Does someone have an idea? I ran out of Google and clues...

Oh my, I simply forgot to do a 'launchctl load' before my 'launchctl start'. Problem solved!

  • How To Install A (Almost) Working Lion Server With Profile Management/SSL/OD/Mail/iCal/Address Book/VNC/Web/etc.

    I recently installed a fresh version of Lion Server after attempting to fix a broken upgrade. With some help from others, I've managed to get all the new features working and have kept notes, having found that many or most of the necessary installation steps for both the OS and its services are almost entirely undocumented. When you get them working, they work great, but the entire process is very fragile, with simple setup steps causing breaks or even malicious behaviors. In case this is useful to others, here are my notes.
    Start with an erased, virgin, single guid partitioned drive. Not an upgrade. Not simply a repartitioned drive. Erased. Clean. Anything else can and probably will break the Lion Server install, as I discovered myself more than once. Before erasing my drive, I already had Lion and made a Lion install DVD from instructions widely available on the web. I suppose you could also boot into the Lion recovery partition and use disk utility to erase the OS X partition then install a new partition, but I cut a DVD. The bottom line is to erase any old OS partitions. And of course to have multiple, independent backups: I use both Time Machine with a modified StdExclusions.plist and Carbon Copy Cloner.
    Also, if you will be running your own personal cloud, you will want to know your domain name ahead of time, as this will be propagated everywhere throughout server, and changing anything related to SSL on Lion Server is a nightmare that I haven't figured out. If you don't yet have a domain name, go drop ten dollars at namecheap.com or wherever and reserve one before you start. Soemday someone will document how to change this stuff without breaking Lion Server, but we're not there yet. I'll assume the top-level domain name "domain.com" here.
    Given good backups, a Lion Install DVD (or Recovery Partition), and a domain name, here are the steps, apparently all of which must be more-or-less strictly followed in this order.
    DVD>Disk Utility>Erase Disk  [or Recovery Partition>Disk Utility>Erase Partition]
    DVD>Install Lion
    Reboot, hopefully Lion install kicks in
    Update, update, update Lion (NOT Lion Server yet) until no more updates
    System Preferences>Network>Static IP on the LAN (say 10.0.1.2) and Computer name ("server" is a good standbye)
    Terminal>$ sudo scutil --set HostName server.domain.com
    App Store>Install Lion Server and run through the Setup
    Download install Server Admin Tools, then update, update, update until no more updates
    Server Admin>DNS>Zones [IF THIS WASN'T AUTOMAGICALLY CREATED (mine wasn't): Add zone domain.com with Nameserver "server.domain.com." (that's a FQDN terminated with a period) and a Mail Exchanger (MX record) "server.domain.com." with priority 10. Add Record>Add Machine (A record) server.domain.com pointing to the server's static IP. You can add fancier DNS aliases and a simpler MX record below after you get through the crucial steps.]
    System Prefs>Network>Advanced>Set your DNS server to 127.0.0.1
    A few DNS set-up steps and these most important steps:
    A. Check that the Unix command "hostname" returns the correct hostname and you can see this hostname in Server.app>Hardware>Network
    B. Check that DNS works: the unix commands "host server.domain.com" and "host 10.0.1.2" (assuming that that's your static IP) should point to each other. Do not proceed until DNS works.
    C. Get Apple Push Notification Services CA via Server.app>Hardware>Settings><Click toggle, Edit... get a new cert ...>
    D. Server.app>Profile Manager>Configure... [Magic script should create OD Master, signed SSL cert]
    E. Server.app>Hardware>Settings>SSL Certificate> [Check to make sure it's set to the one just created]
    F. Using Server.app, turn on the web, then Server.app>Profile Manager> [Click on hyperlink to get to web page, e.g. server.domain.com/profilemanager] Upper RHS pull-down, install Trust Profile
    G. Keychain Access>System>Certificates [Find the automatically generated cert "Domain", the one that is a "Root certificate authority", Highlight and Export as .cer, email to all iOS devices, and click on the authority on the device. It should be entered as a trusted CA on all iOS devices. While you're at it, highlight and Export... as a .cer the certificate "IntermediateCA_SERVER.DOMAIN.COM_1", which is listed an an "Intermediate CA" -- you will use this to establish secure SSL connections with remote browsers hitting your server.]
    H. iOS on LAN: browse to server.domain.com/mydevices> [click on LHS Install trust cert, then RHS Enroll device.
    I. Test from web browser server.domain.com/mydevices: Lock Device to test
    J. ??? Profit
    12. Server Admin>DNS>Zones> Add convenient DNS alias records if necessary, e.g., mail.domain.com, smtp.domain.com, www.domain.com. If you want to refer to your box using the convenient shorthand "domain.com", you must enter the A record (NOT alias) "domain.com." FQDN pointing to the server's fixed IP. You can also enter the convenient short MX record "domain.com." with priority 11. This will all work on the LAN -- all these settings must be mirrored on the outside internet using the service from which you registered domain.com.
    You are now ready to begin turning on your services. Here are a few important details and gotchas setting up cloud services.
    Firewall
    Server Admin>Firewall>Services> Open up all ports needed by whichever services you want to run and set up your router (assuming that your server sits behind a router) to port forward these ports to your router's LAN IP. This is most a straightforward exercise in grepping for the correct ports on this page, but there are several jaw-droppingly undocumented omissions of crucial ports for Push Services and Device Enrollment. If you want to enroll your iOS devices, make sure port 1640 is open. If you want Push Notifications to work (you do), then ports 2195, 2196, 5218, and 5223 must be open. The Unix commands "lsof -i :5218" and "nmap -p 5218 server.domain.com" (nmap available from Macports after installing Xcode from the App Store) help show which ports are open.
    SSH
    Do this with strong security. Server.app to turn on remote logins (open port 22), but edit /etc/sshd_config to turn off root and password logins.
    PermitRootLogin no
    PasswordAuthentication no
    ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
    I'm note sure if toggling the Allow remote logins will load this config file or, run "sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/org.openbsd.ssh-agent.plist ; sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/org.openbsd.ssh-agent.plist" to restart the server's ssh daemon.
    Then use ssh-keygen on remote client to generate public/private keys that can be used to remotely login to the server.
    client$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -C client_name
    [Securely copy ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub from client to server.]
    server$ cat id_rsa.pub > ~/.ssh/known_hosts
    I also like DenyHosts, which emails detected ssh attacks to [email protected]. It's amazing how many ssh attacks there are on any open port 22. Not really an added security feature if you've turned off password logins, but good to monitor. Here's a Lion Server diff for the config file /usr/share/denyhosts:
    $ diff denyhosts.cfg-dist denyhosts.cfg
    12c12

    Network Accounts
    User Server.app to create your network accounts; do not use Workgroup Manager. If you use Workgroup Manager, as I did, then your accounts will not have email addresses specified and iCal Server WILL NOT COMPLETELY WORK. Well, at least collaboration through network accounts will be handled clunkily through email, not automatically as they should. If you create a network account using Workgroup Manager, then edit that account using Server.app to specify the email to which iCal invitations may be sent. Server.app doesn't say anything about this, but that's one thing that email address entry is used for. This still isn't quite solid on Lion Server, as my Open Directory logs on a freshly installed Lion Server are filled with errors that read:
    2011-12-12 15:05:52.425 EST - Module: SystemCache - Misconfiguration detected in hash 'Kerberos':
         User 'uname' (/LDAPv3/127.0.0.1) - ID 1031 - UUID 98B4DF30-09CF-42F1-6C31-9D55FE4A0812 - SID S-0-8-83-8930552043-0845248631-7065481045-9092
    Oh well.
    Email
    Email aliases are handled with the file /private/etc/postfix/aliases. Do something like this
    root:           myname
    admin:          myname
    sysadmin:       myname
    certadmin:      myname
    webmaster:      myname
    my_alternate:   myname
    Then run "sudo newaliases". If your ISP is Comcast or some other large provider, you probably must proxy your outgoing mail through their SMTP servers to avoid being blocked as a spammer (a lot of SMTP servers will block email from Comcast/whatever IP addresses that isn't sent by Comcast). Use Server.app>Mail to enter your account information. Even then, the Lion Server default setup may fail using this proxy. I had to do this with the file /private/etc/postfix/main.cf:
    cd /etc/postfix
    sudo cp ./main.cf ./main.cf.no_smtp_sasl_security_options
    sudo echo 'smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous' >> ./main.cf
    sudo serveradmin stop mail
    sudo serveradmin start mail
    Finally, make sure that you're running a blacklisting srevice yourself! Server Admin>Mail>Filter> Use spamhaus.org as a blacklister. Finally, set up mail to use strong Kerberos/MD5 settings under on Server Admin>Mail>Advanced. Turn off password and clear logins. The settings should be set to "Use" your SSL cert, NOT "Require". "Require" consistently breaks things for me.
    If you already installed the server's Trust Certificate as described above (and opened up the correct ports), email to your account should be pushed out to all clients.
    iCal Server
    Server.app>Calendar>Turn ON and Allow Email Invitations, Edit... . Whatever you do, do NOT enter your own email account information in this GUI. You must enter the account information for local user com.apple.calendarserver, and the password for this account, which is stored in the System keychain: Keychain Access>System> Item com.apple.servermgr_calendar. Double-click and Show Password, copy and paste into Server.app dialog. This is all described in depth here. If you enter your own account information here (DO NOT!), the iCal Server will delete all Emails in your Inbox just as soon as it reads them, exactly like it works for user com.apple.calendarserver. Believe me, you don't want to discover this "feature", which I expect will be more tightly controlled in some future update.
    Web
    The functionality of Server.app's Web management is pretty limited and awful, but a few changes to the file /etc/apache2/httpd.conf will give you a pretty capable and flexible web server, just one that you must manage by hand. Here's a diff for httpd.conf:
    $ diff httpd.conf.default httpd.conf

    I did "sudo mkdir /etc/apache2/mydomain" and add specific config files for various web pages to host. For example, here's a config file that will host the entire contents of an EyeTV DVR, all password controlled with htdigest ("htdigest ~uname/.htdigest EyeTV uname"). Browsing to https://server.domain.com/eyetv points to /Users/uname/Sites/EyeTV, in which there's an index.php script that can read and display the EyeTV archive at https://server.domain.com/eyetv_archive. If you want Apache username accounts with twiddles as in https://server.domain.com/~uname, specify "UserDir Sites" in the configuration file.
    Alias /eyetv /Users/uname/Sites/EyeTV
    <Directory "/Users/uname/Sites/EyeTV">
        AuthType Digest
        AuthName "EyeTV"
        AuthUserFile /Users/uname/.htdigest
        AuthGroupFile /dev/null
        Require user uname
        Options Indexes MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
    Alias /eyetv_archive "/Volumes/Macintosh HD2/Documents/EyeTV Archive"
    <Directory "/Volumes/Macintosh HD2/Documents/EyeTV Archive">
        AuthType Digest
        AuthName "EyeTV"
        AuthUserFile /Users/uname/.htdigest
        AuthGroupFile /dev/null
        Require user uname
        Options Indexes MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
    I think you can turn Web off/on in Server.app to relaunch apached, or simply "sudo apachectl -D WEBSERVICE_ON -D MACOSXSERVER -k restart".
    Securely copy to all desired remote clients the file IntermediateCA_SERVER.DOMAIN.COM_1.cer, which you exported from System Keychain above. Add this certificate to your remote keychain and trust it, allowing secure connections between remote clients and your server. Also on remote clients: Firefox>Advanced>Encryption>View Certificates>Authorities>Import...> Import this certificate into your browser. Now there should be a secure connection to https://server.domain.com without any SSL warnings.
    One caveat is that there should be a nice way to establish secure SSL to https://domain.com and https://www.domain.com, but the automagically created SSL certificate only knows about server.domain.com. I attempted to follow this advice when I originally created the cert and add these additional domains (under "Subject Alternate Name Extension"), but the cert creation UI failed when I did this, so I just gave up. I hope that by the time these certs expire, someone posts some documentation on how to manage and change Lion Server SSL scripts AFTER the server has been promoted to an Open Directory Master. In the meantime, it would be much appreciated if anyone can post either how to add these additional domain names to the existing cert, or generate and/or sign a cert with a self-created Keychain Access root certificate authority. In my experience, any attempt to mess with the SSL certs automatically generated just breaks Lion Server.
    Finally, if you don't want a little Apple logo as your web page icon, create your own 16×16 PNG and copy it to the file /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/favicon.ico. And request that all web-crawling robots go away with the file /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/robots.txt:

    Misc
    VNC easily works with iOS devices -- use a good passphrase. Edit /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postgresql.postgres.plist and set "listen_addresses=127.0.0.1" to allow PostgreSQL connections over localhost. I've also downloaded snort/base/swatch to build an intrusion detection system, and used Macports's squid+privoxy to build a privacy-enhanced ad-blocking proxy server.

    Privacy Enhancing Filtering Proxy and SSH Tunnel
    Lion Server comes with its own web proxy, but chaining Squid and Privoxy together provides a capable and effective web proxy that can block ads and malicious scripts, and conceal information used to track you around the web. I've posted a simple way to build and use a privacy enhancing web proxy here. While you're at it, configure your OS and browsers to block Adobe Flash cookies and block Flash access to your camera, microphone, and peer networks. Read this WSJ article series to understand how this impacts your privacy. If you configure it to allow use for anyone on your LAN, be sure to open up ports 3128, 8118, and 8123 on your firewall.
    If you've set up ssh and/or VPN as above, you can securely tunnel in to your proxy from anywhere. The syntax for ssh tunnels is a little obscure, so I wrote a little ssh tunnel script with a simpler flexible syntax. This script also allows secure tunnels to other services like VNC (port 5900). If you save this to a file ./ssht (and chmod a+x ./ssht), example syntax to establish an ssh tunnel through localhost:8080 (or, e.g., localhost:5901 for secure VNC Screen Sharing connects) looks like:
    $ ./ssht 8080:[email protected]:3128
    $ ./ssht 8080:alice@:
    $ ./ssht 8080:
    $ ./ssht 8018::8123
    $ ./ssht 5901::5900  [Use the address localhost:5901 for secure VNC connects using OS X's Screen Sharing or Chicken of the VNC (sudo port install cotvnc)]
    $ vi ./ssht

  • How do I best share an iPhoto library to several users on a Lion Server?

    I am considering setting up a Lion Server to use for our family of five. The one thing I struggle to understand from searching for information here, and throughout the Internet is: Can I set up a Lion server to have shared libraries for iTunes and iPhoto, and what is the best way to set it up? I would also like to understand if such a shared setup would create any issues with reduced functionality and/or performance?
    Today we share libraries across several accounts on one computer, and that works mostly fine, although with some restrictions (only one account can have iPhoto open at a time, which is not much of an issue if on same computer; iTunes can share music but not Apps, ...)

    I followed Apple's support team's instruction to create iPhoto on the new external hard drive (My Passport) - and then drag and drop the existing iPhoto library onto it from the Master file.
    Don't know who told you that but it would be difficult to be more wrong.
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • I'm trying to use Mountain Lion Server so my family can have separate logins via Screen Share to their iTunes.

    Using Mountain Lion Server so my family can have separate logins and connect via Screen Share.
    Works great, each has their own home directory and permissions are perfect.
    Now setting up iTunes for each with their own Library (not shared), thus keeping multiple Libraries.
    I get this;
    This Computer is already associated with an Apple ID.
    If you download past purchases with your Apple ID, you
    cannot auto-download past purchases with a different
    Apple ID for 90 days.
    What!
    So what it is on the same computer, they are completely separate Libraries never to be mixed.
    If this works, I only need to keep one computer up and running, instead of three.
    Each can do their syncing/backup and connect to the various Airplay/AppleTVs I have around the house.
    How do I fix this.
    Thanks

    Bottom line is you can't - easily.
    You need to make sure that you log out of the server each time otherwise the ID is running. To explain, if you had a laptop with different people using it, your solution works fine. Each time someone logs in, the iTunes ID is different so it works as you can only have one person using the laptop at any one time.
    Now, turning your problem inside-out, you want people to be able to log into iTunes concurrently to use their own version of the program with their own library. This does not seem to work and you get the conflicted ID error message. Even though iTunes is running under their own login ident, I have never been able to get this working reliably and was told that iTunes is NOT a network-aware application as it is designed to be single user.
    The way I got around this was to login as XYZ and to make sure that the ID was changed in iTunes accordingly. However, it did not always work so I gave up with the whole thing.

  • Photoshop CS6 can't save to server after upgrading to Mac OS Yosemite Server from Mac Lion Server

    We recently upgraded our server from a Mac Pro 2008 with OS X Lion Server to a Mac Mini 2014 with LaCie 20TB 5Big Thunderbolt 2 RAID drive. Everything is working fine with the exception of Photoshop. It does it intermittently but once it happens it will continue to do so. We get message like "Can't save to disk because of disk error" and "Can't save file because of program error" . Sometime we are able to do a "save as" and save over it. Most of the time we have to "save as" with a different file name and then rename and recopy the file. We have check permission on all the file as well as the server HD has ignore ownership checked. Again only three things changed. 1) Sever hardware change from Mac Pro to Mac Mini. 2) Server software upgraded from 10.7 Lion to 10.10 Yosemite(both have the latest update). 3) Drive when from internal on Mac Pro to External Thunderbolt 2 LaCie drive. We have no problem with Illustrator or Indesign. Only Photoshop. Anyone with any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately you seem to be using Photoshop in a way that Adobe discourages, so you may not be getting a lot of helpful advice.

  • How do I add a wildcard domain to Additional Domains in Websites on Mac OS Mountain Lion Server?

    I could do this in Lion Server, but I can't in Mountain Lion (when I try to type * it doesn't type anything). Is there a file I can change with emacs to get this working? I've added the wildcard domain to /var/named/db.mydomain.TLD (see the wildcard domain section) but I need it in the web server as well for this to work.

    I found the answer here:
    /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/sites/0000_any_<port>_example.com.conf
    And just before </VirtualHost> put the line:
    ServerAlias *.example.com

  • Unable to add/remove users in Mountain Lion Server (Options are greyed out)

    For some reason, im unable to add/remove users in Mountain Lion server. The + and - are greyed out. It seems like something is wrong with the permissons because it looks like it cant write the the Ldav3 file (although that may be speculation). Does anyone have any advice for me? I URGENTLY need to add users.
    Maybe theres a way to restore default permssions for the boot drive (if that in fact is the issue). Hopefully there is a way that I can fix this while leaving all users, groups, their permissions and shares intact.

    Anything interesting and relevent in the server logs?
    Anything interesting in the server alerts?
    Since it's far and away the most common cause of problems with OS X Server and with distributed authentication (Open Directory is entirely based on network encryption and digital certificates and on responses from your local DNS server(s)), verify your local DNS configuration is working and requires no changes with the following Terminal.app (Applications > Utilities) harmless, diagnostic command:
    sudo changeip -checkhostname
    sudo requires an administrative password.  You might get a one-time warning about the sudo, and that can safely be ignored.  The command will display some details, and indicate whether the local configuration appears valid and no changes are required, or further diagnostics for (most) common errors that can arise.

  • Running Lion Server on a FCP Machine?

    Is it a sin to run Mac OS X Lion Server on a machine I purchased to do video editing with? If you don't want to address the normative question, can you tell me how much RAM it takes to run Lion Server? I have 16 GBs, purchased for motion graphics.  I don't do a lot of motion graphics, but it's good to have the RAM and the processing power all together when you need it.
    Thanks for your input!

    Hi Jason
    I was getting the same behavior after Apple support had me delete some plist files to get Airplay going. I was also getting the following error:
    the error occurred while processing a command of type 'writesettings' in the plug-in 'server vpn'
    I went into ~/Library/Preferences/ and /Library/Preferences/ and deleted every plist contating the word server. I had to re-set up my server (meaning walk through some intial steps) but all of my settings were still there after that and everything started working again.
    Just a thought, obviously try at your own risk but it worked for me.

  • How To Set Up Mountain Lion Server/Point DNS to Mac Mini Server

    Hello, First of all I have no experience with setting up servers whatsoever. Below is what I have
    - Mac Mini with Mountain Lion Server
    - Time Capsule as my router
    - Comcast as my service provider
    My goal is to set up my MacMini as a sharepoint for files and other data with my other partners.
    - I have purchased a domaine name from NetworkSolutions. Does this mean that they are my DNS hosting as well? Not really sure. My biggest question is how to point my DNS to my mac mini server correctly.
    1. How do you point the DNS to my mac mini server.
    2. I've read somewhere to use the IP address from my mac mini server. The only IP address I see is from my Time Capsule (router). I know what my public IP adress is but I am not sure if that's the one to use. I think once I figure this DNS thing I can figure out the rest.
    Thanks - Need lots of help.

    Here's a detailed write-up on setting up internal (private) DNS on OS X Server, and no, you're probably not going to be setting up external DNS on your servers.  Your public DNS service will be hosted on and served from the Network Solutions DNS servers.

  • OSX Lion Server / Mail.app with FB

    Hi - I have an OSX mac mini i7 Lion Server 10.7.4 running mail server. I am getting emails from gmails but apparently, it is not getting email from Facebook registration. I tried many times but no facebook registration comes in. I tried sending email from a gmail account to my the same username and I get all of them. But, from facebook, say registering from facebook, it is not getting any. User is setup correct in osx users as well as in mail server users.
    I went to mail.app and deleted the mail cache, remove the filters for spams and all that. But I still do not get FB email confirmation. What could be the reason.

  • How can I configure Lion server to accept inbound VPN (L2TP) connections while connected as client to another vpn service?

    I have what I believe to be a unique need;
    I have a MacPro (1,1) running Lion with Server app.
    I require that this particular machine be connected as a client to a VPN server, while at the same time acting as a VPN server for my network.
    The PPTP connection configuration is such that "Send all traffic over VPN connection" is checked.
    If PPTP client is NOT connected, I can connect to Lion as VPN server. As soon as I make the connection from Lion as a client, I can no longer
    connect to Lion VPN server.
    I understand this is because I am forcing all traffic out the virtual interface (tun0) and eth0 is no longer listening on the local network.
    1. Is it possible to bind the VPN client (on Lion Server) to a particular interface? If I could tell the PPTP client to only use eth1 as the interface of choice, my assumption would be that eth0 would then be free to accept incoming connections.
    2. Is it possible to bind the VPN service  (on Lion Server) to a particular interface? if I could tell the vpn serviec to only listen on eth1, and in turn tell the PPTP client to NOT communicate on eth1 but only eth0 then perhaps I could separate the communications?
    In my head, it seems as though both of the above options would be required in order to use Lion as both a VPN server and VPN client
    Any and all help appreciated.

    This is a standard facet of most VPNs - the problem lies in your NAT router since both clients appear to come from the same IP address as far as the VPN server is concerned, and the router can't separate out the traffic.
    There are a couple of solutions.
    First, the built-in VPN server supports L2TP and PPTP protocols. You should be able to connect one system under each protocol, so that gets your two machines connected.
    Second, you can replace your NAT router with one that supports multiple VPN clients (often termed 'VPN passthrough').
    Third, setup a site-to-site tunnel so that your entire LAN is connected to the VPN (this saves you from having to run a separate VPN client on each machine, but is typically only worth it when you have more machines).

  • Can I use Lion server to set-up a WPA2 wireless network in place of an AEBS?

    I'm contemplating replacing my Airport Extreme Base Station with my Core i5 Mac mini as the wireless network server, because this will get rid of a "box" (that I can sell!) and reduce power consumption, since my iMac is on all the time as my iTunes media source anyway. At present my AEBS creates a WPA2 LAN network connected in bridge mode to my Billion modem/router, so DHCP serving is performed by the Billion router. I could replace the AEBS with the Mac mini running Lion simply by using internet sharing, but this has low security (WEP) and I understand there are often connection problems when clients awake from sleep. (Furthermore, my Airport Extreme at the back of the house probably wouldn't connect to that WEP network?)
    So, I wonder.... If I upgraded to Lion Server (only $49), can I set-up the Mac mini as the WPA2 network host in place of the AEBS? My mini is right next to the AEBS anyway, so it's in a suitable position to distribute the radio signal. As I understand it, the Lion Server software would need to allow the Mac mini to connect to the Billion router via ethernet in bridge mode - just like the AEBs, but I can't find any info that tells me whether this is possible.
    Does anyone know if what I want to do is possible? A simple solution may be to turn off the DHCP server functions of my Billion router, letting Lion Server become the DHCP server, but I don't think that's possible. I also don't want to replace the Billion with a simple modem because my Billion router provides VoIP for my home phone (and has done so reliably since 2005).
    Of course, if it's all too hard, I'll leave things as they are, because I don't have any need for the other Server functions of Lion Server.
    thanks

    I don't know. I'm also looking for the same function because I want to
    make my iMac running Lion the router and the firewall of my personnal
    wireless network. The key advantage will be to have the firewall, its rules
    and its logging on the same server.
    What I already know is that turning the Internet sharing on turns a
    MacOS X Lion into a DHCP server on the wireless side.
