Bonjour (mDNS) not broadcasting shared printers

I have a shared USB printer connected to my G4 running 10.5.3. The printer shows up as shared and worked fine in my Airport connected G4 iBook running 10.3.9. After upgrading the iBook to 10.5.5 I could no longer see the shared printer. Noting other posts that cite:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306984 (I am not sure how to make this a link)
which addresses the problem of OLDER (10.3) systems not recognizing shared printers from a 10.5 machine because 10.5 uses Bonjour (mDNS) to broadcast shared printers and 10.3 uses "cups". In my case I am sharing from 10.5 to 10.5 so that should not be an issue, but I turned on the cups protocol I per the article, in the iBook anyway (cupsctl BrowseProtocols='"cups dnssd"') - and it worked.
Looking at the ethernet protocol using "wireshark" on the G4 running. 10.5.3 is broadcasting the shared printer using CUPS protocol and not nDNS protocol. I updated the G4 to 10.5.5 and got the same results.
The question is, why is my G4 now on 10.5.5, using the old cups protocol and not the new Bonjour protocol to broadcast the shared printer?

Never mind - I solved the problem.
It seems that when upgrading, the installer does not replace the existing /etc/cups/cupsd.conf with a later version but leaves the new file ether as cupsd.conv.default or cupsd.conf.system.default. Both of my G4 computers were using the outdated file that specified the cups protocol. After changing them the the latest version everything worked.

How to you "publish" Bonjour Shared printers using Workgroup Manager?

Dear Friends,
Hello. We have just spend considerable time setting up Mac OS X 10.6.4 server to host some printers to our Mac clients (previously we had used a Windows print server but it was too slow and inflexible). We have the printers we need set-up and shared out as Bonjour Shared printers because that sends out all of the duplex setting we need. I have tried to "publish" these using Workgroup Manager and they do not show up on the list. How do you "publish" these printers using WGM? NOT: We can't just let people select "nearby" printers because we want to set a default and use kerberos security.

Anthony,
Thank you for you help. The procedure you outline is what we have attempted to do. We add the Bonjour-shared printers to a client and then open Work Group Manager on the same computer but when you go to the "Printing" pane of "Preferences" the printers do not show under "Available Printers", neither do USB printers.
Hope this clarifies our problem. We would like to use Work Group Manager as advertised but it doesn't seem to be working for us.
Welcome to my world…
This 'bug' has existed for several major versions of Mac OS X Server (10.6, 10.5, and maybe 10.4). I did report it more than once to Apple as an official bug but they don't seem to 'get it' despite my best efforts.
You can do the following
Add a printer directly to a computer running WGM,
Then use WGM to 'push' the printer out to clients,
The model of the printer will then also be pushed out to clients so they automatically select the correct driver but not the correct paper tray/duplex/etc. settings.
You can do the following
Add a Mac OS X Printer Server queue to the computer running WGM (which must not be the same computer acting as the Mac OS X Printer Server) if you do this via the Bonjour advertisement of the queue then it will not get the model, or any settings from the print server.
You can then push this queue out to clients via WGM
You cannot do the following
Add a Mac OS X Printer Server queue to the computer running WGM (which must not be the same computer acting as the Mac OS X Printer Server) if you do this via IPP, then the WGM machine will get the model automatically, but not any paper tray/duplex settings.
However this queue cannot then be seen in WGM and therefore cannot be pushed out to clients.
Apparently doing custom XML, would allow also pushing out printer settings, but this is so far from 'the Macintosh Way' that only a masochist would do it.
This area is one of the few where the Mac is significantly worse than Windows, it is an area that Microsoft (mostly) sorted literally decades ago. Not only in the Windows world can you push the printer model, and the printer settings, but you can even if needed push the entire printer driver out to the (Windows) clients.

I can't use home sharing because it says Bonjour is not enabled. So I went to administrative tools and started it. Restarted my computer and home sharing still isn't working

GPP Delete policy not working on Windows Server 2008 R2 RDS when deleting shared printers with status access denied.

Hi!
I Have one AD Security group for each shared printer, I have one GPP that map the printer if the user is in the security group that belong to the printer. And one GPP to delete the printer if the user is NOT member of the security group. The security group
is also applied in “Security” tab on the printsrv with PRINT rights and “everyone” is removed. This works 100 % on Windows 7 clients and Windows 2003 Terminal Servers. But on Windows 2008 R2 RDS this dont work.The Delete Policy will not delete the shared
printer. No warning in any logs, and the gpresult shows that the gpo setting applyed sucessfully. The only way I can make the Delete policy work is if i give the user print rights on the printer on the printsrv. Looks like for the policy to work on 2008
R2 the user must have print rights on the printer object on the printserver. The GPP Delete Policy will not delete printers that have status : access denied. Anyone else had this problem?

Hi,
Based on your description, it seems that we need to give users appropriate permissions, for the error
Access is denied is more or less related to permissions.
However, we can avoid deploying the GPP printer delete policy. As far as I know, we can use Item-Lvel Targeting of GPP to push the shared printers
to the targeted users or groups.
Regarding ILT, the following articles can be referred to for more information.

Bonjour/mDNS over IPSEC/L2TP?

Hi there,
has anyone managed to get Bonjour / mDNS sharing working over Ipsec / L2tp Links? Can this be configured somehow? As far as I see it, ipsec / l2tp links appear as point-to-point devices which the mDNSresponder doesn't pick up for broadcasts - can this be enabled somehow?
Best regards,

This makes no sense to me. I have been researching this topic for a while, and the general consensus seems to be that Bonjour simply is not available over a VPN connection. Isn't the purpose of a VPN to join a computer securely to a remote network? The remote computer is connected to the corporate network via a VPN, is on the *same subnet* as the corporate network, and responds to broadcast PINGs sent to the broadcast address -- indicating to me, at least, that broadcast capability is present. Why, then, can't Bonjour broadcasts be sent to the remote computer?
I have seen "solutions" detailing the use of Wide-Area Bonjour in other posts (see here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6917732), but this is unnecessary when the simple solution should be to forward Bonjour broadcasts to VPN-connected computers on the same subnet. I would really like to see this resolved.

Can't Add Shared Printers in Leopard!

Leopard's shared printer support has been very poor for me. I have a Brother HL-2040 and a Dymo label printer hooked up to an iMac and under Tiger, any Mac on the network could print to either of them. Since upgrading both my iMac and MacBook Pro to Leopard, things have been very different. For the first few weeks, I had to keep "adding" the printers, because they would keep disappearing from the list of available printers. I'd click "add" and it would find the drivers and away we'd go. It was a 20 second process that was a little annoying but I could live with it.
However, in the last day or two, things have deteriorated. Now, when I click "add" (either from the print dialog box or from the Print/Fax System preference) it seems to look for a driver, and can't find one. So I type the printer model name into the search box and it finds it. I click on it and click "add" but it gives me an error, saying that the printer could not be added.
So both shared printers appear (via Bonjour presumably) as available, but error out when I try to add them.
If anyone has any workarounds I'd love to hear them. For now I have to plug the printers directly into my MacBook whenever I want to use them.

Plug the Dymo into your computer directly and print a label. That will load the drivers. You can then add it successfully via Bonjour. What you want to see however is a 'Bonjour Shared' printer when you add - if the Labelwriter only shows up a as shared printer it won't work in my experience.
The problem turned out to be that if you're connected via a base station you need one that supports multi-cast for Bonjour to work correctly. This drove me crazy until I finally ended up buying a Belkin to replace the Zyxel. Printing to the shared Labelwriter works perfectly now.

Printing From iBook To Printer on a Vista, Can't see Vista shared printers

Printing From iBook To Printer on Windows Vista Desktop, Can't see shared printer on a Vista machine from a Mac, although Windows notebooks find it immediately. When same machine is booted into XP the priners share perfectly with both of my iBooks, but when the same machine is booted into Vista with the printer shared etc, the iBooks don't see the printer. Other Windows machines on the newtork do see the shared printers in Vista.
I have previously always had success sharing printers on Windows XP machines with my iBooks. . However upon installing Vista on my desktop I find I can no longer find the printer in the Mac's printer setup utility. When I dual boot back to XP everything works fine, but on the same machine when I boot into Vista I am unble to see the printers. The Mac printer setup utility finds the Vista machine on the network, but the printers are never visible. Is their some secret or channge in Vista that prevents Mac's running , in my case,Tiger 10.4.8 from seeing a shared printer on a computer running Vista
On the Vista machine, if I boot into XP The printer is shared and Windows notebooks can print to it, but neither of my iBooks can see the Printers when Vista is running.

Lpadmin to add shared printers to clients

My setup: A Mini running 10.6.8 Server and thirty late model iMacs running 10.6.8 as clients. Sever is sharing four late model wide format Epsons for use by the iMacs. Printers are shared on the server via ipp. Sever and clients have identical print drivers and PPDs installed.
I want to be able to use lpadmin to add printers to the clients. In the past I've been able to do this in this particular setup using an dnssd queue in the lpadmin command. My preference would be an ipp queue but I've never been able to get that to work.
After upgrading printer drivers I cannot get any sort of lpadmin command to properly load a functioning printer. HELP!
What does work:
I can use lpadmin to add a printer to a client bypassing the server and connecting directly to the networked printer (lpd queue)
I can add a server hosted printer to a client using the gui and the default browser and all is well. This works for "Shared" printers (ipp queue) and for "Bonjour Shared" printers (dnssd queue)
What doesn't work:
I cannot add a server hosted printer using the gui and the IP tab by selecting the IPP option and entering the server IP Address and proper queue name.
No form of lpadmin command that I have tried (MANY) will successfully add a printer. This includes command formats that did work before the driver upgrades.
On these options that fail, the printer seems to be properly added. The correct driver is loaded and the user sees all of the correct and unique options for the printer in the print dialog. Upon printing the job fails on the client. It never reaches the server. The Apple print queue shows the job as "printing" and "copying data" for a while then either puts the printer into a Pause state (most common) or shows a Communication Error message. The most common error log segment looks like this:
D [08/Feb/2012:09:27:39 -0600] [Job 20] Set job-printer-state-message to "Empty print file!", current level=ERROR

D [08/Feb/2012:09:27:39 -0600] [Job 20] printer-state-reasons=paused
Here's a very small portion of the lpadmin versions that I've tried. I've done all of the below also using the -P option to specify the driver file location in /Library/printers… And I've also tried not specifying a driver at all. I've tried placing -E at different places within the command or leaving it out altogether. I've tried leaving the -o option out. I'm not sure where else to look.
lpadmin -p 4900_Photo -E -L "FAC 162B" -v ipp://129.62.177.206:631/printers/4900_Photo -m EPSON\ Epson\ Stylus\ Pro\ 4900.gz -o printer-is-shared=false
lpadmin -p 4900_Photo -L "FAC 162B" -v dnssd://4900_Photo%20%40%20artlab-server._ipp._tcp.local./cups -m EPSON\ Epson\ Stylus\ Pro\ 4900.gz -o printer-is-shared=false -E
Any hints greatly appreciated!

Problem with multiple instances of shared printers being installed on client computers when the spooler service is started

Hello,
We have Windows Server 2012 and clients using Windows 8. We've been having some printer problems for awhile now that I haven't been able to figure out for the life of me. The main problem is the fact that printers are installed on computers automatically
once the drivers are installed. The side-effect of multiple instances of each printer showing up is very annoying but I suspect fixing the initial problem will resolve this secondary one.
Here is the rundown:
We add the shared printers on logon to the clients using the GPO thus installing the drivers locally.
Whenever the spooler on the client is restarted with the drivers installed, all of the
shared printers that were previously installed get duplicated 5 more times (for a total of 6 instances of each shared printer) on the "Devices and Printers" page. This happens
all the time.
Removing them only fixes the issue temporarily, as soon as the spooler or computer is restarted, it seems these shared printers are somehow found on the network and the duplicates return.
Two of these printers are located on different clients, installed locally and shared while the other three are all installed on a server and shared through it. The issue is the same on all of them.
Cleaning the spooler completely (registry and files from C:\system32\spool) fixes the issue temporarily as well since, as soon as the drivers are reinstalled, the issue occurs again.
I've tried many things (disabling the GPO, editing the GPO, printer shares, registry, etc.) and searched tirelessly online for a cause and solution but I'm stumped. Does anybody have any idea what might be causing this problem and how to resolve it?
Thanks for your time!
Update #1: I just tried adding the NoNetCrawling option in the registry found in this article -> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320138/en-us
I couldn't find the same for Windows 8 unfortunately. I also tried disabling network discovery and all other sharing options to no avail.
Update #2: I tried isolating the computer to a different subnet and restarting the spooler and, sure enough, the issue didn't occur. This proves that the issue is network share related. Also, as soon as I change the IP back to the regular domain
subnet one, the multiple printer instances re-appeared again.
Update #3: I just tried doing the same thing but on the server where the printers are installed and shared and, sure enough, despite being in a different subnet, the issue occurred. This leads me to believe there is a setting on this server at fault.
Question is, which one?

We have deployed a brand new Active Directory domain for a customer. ALL the servers without exception are Windows 2012 R2 and all clients are Windows 8.1 32bit VDI clients.
The issue that we have is around network printers.
We are deploying 4 printers from a Windows 2012 R2 Server via the print management/Deploy Printer and assigning that to a GPO. The printers are deployed to the Computers which should mean that the users get all 4 printers which they then should be allowed
to set their default and personal settings for that printer.
Our printers are deployed like this:
1. Created security group
2. Assigned VDI computers to the security group
3. Created GPO to reflect security group
4. Modify GPO to do security filtering based on computer group membership
5. Deployed 4 x printers through Print Management to the GPO on a per machine basis
However, on the users Devices and Printers screen we are not seeing the 4 printers. For some users
they see duplicates of all 4 printers so e.g they can have upwards of 8 or more. Other users have no printers displayed whatsoever. The next time they log off or restart they then have a different amount of printers displayed.
If they try and set the default then it will set and the next time they check the default may have moved to another printer even without logging off or back on.
Now, where this gets strange is within an application such as MS Word 2013 or Notepad if they use the file and print menu the printers will be listed, even if the user has no printers displayed in Devices and Printers. If the users selects a printer then they
can then print OK.
If we check HKCU\Printers||Connections then the CORRECT 4 printers are showing as to what is being deployed via the GPO so I know that the Windows 8.1 terminals are receiving the correct printers from the GPO.
To try and correct this over the course of the week we have deployed the printers via Group Policy Preferences to the user and then the PC to no avail. Currently we are using the Print management\Deployed Printers to deploy all 4 printers to the computer via
the Computer GPO.
I believe that this issue is related to the display somehow in Devices and Printers rather than a GPO or print server issue as we can see via the registry the clients are receiving the 4 correct mentioned printers as shown in the registry.
FYI: We only have around 30 users and all users are getting this problem. All users are receiving the same GPO's and have the same few apps installed, Office 2013, Adobe Reader etc.
What we want is for the computers to receive all 4 printers. All users should be able to use all 4 printers but the user should be able to select their particular default, depending where they are located or what they are printing that particular day. Their
particular default should persist after reboot. (We have 2 x Copiers and 2 x HP Laserjets) All users have redirected documents and desktop but the rest of the profile is on the VDI and persists after their reboot. The profile is not roaming as the user is
assigned a particular VDI.
After a week of scratching our heads with this we are open to suggestions and any would be appreciated.
We have tried following the issues on this thread to no avail either as they still return.

Group Policy To Delete Old Shared Printers That Are No Longer Shared

I am having an issue where I am successfully using Group Policy to deploy some new printers.
(Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Printer Connections > Use the Share name \\Server\Print_Shared_Name)
but I have on those same desktops some old shared printers (\\Server\Old_Printer_Name). They are IP printers being shared off the server but this printer no longer exists on the server and the IP address is also no longer being used. Tried to use some group
policies to delete the printer for the non-admin users but am having no luck with the printer being removed from the machine. The desktops are all Win7 Service Pack 1 and the Server is Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard
Things I have tried:
1. In my same working policy that I use to install the new printer I tried to add on the following
(User Configuration > Preferences > Control Panel Settings > Printers > New > Shared Printer > Delete > For the share path I enter the old share path name that it shows but actually no longer works so \\Server\Old_Printer_Name)
^This did not work when I sign into the desktop as a non-admin user that has the printer still installed or as an admin that also had the printer installed, ran gpupdate, gpupdate /force, rebooted, restarted print spooler
Tried the same steps above but with the following instead
(Computer Configuration > Preferences > Control Panel Settings > Printers > New > TCP/IP Printer > Delete > I then enter the \\Server\Old_Printer_Name IP Address that it used to use
Same results
2. I also tried to create a registry deletion policy still under this policy that installs the printer as follows:
(Computer Configuration > Preferences > Windows Settings > Registry >
New > Registry Item > Delete > I used the following path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER for the hive and key path is Printers > Connections > Manually entered the key from the desktop for the printer I am trying to remove so ,,SERVER,Old_Printer_Name)
^This did not work when I sign into the desktop as a non-admin user that has the printer still installed or as an admin that also had the printer installed, ran gpupdate, gpupdate /force, rebooted, restarted print spooler
3. I also ran a Group Policy Result and it says that it ran the policy just fine
I've tried these steps and everything was case sensitive but have had no luck. Anything that anyone can suggest or if I am in the wrong area, please kindly point me in the right direction

Hi,
>>(Computer Configuration > Preferences > Windows Settings > Registry >
New > Registry Item > Delete > I used the following path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER for the hive and key path is Printers > Connections > Manually entered the key from the desktop for the printer I am trying to remove so ,,SERVER,Old_Printer_Name)
For we are editing the registry hive under HKEY_CURRENT_USER, the setting should be User Configuration\ Preferences \Windows Settings \ Registry

Network shared printers stop working; default printer changes

Hello,
Have an odd printing issue that seems to be ongoing and am trying to come up with a good solution or fix for it.
We have an environment that has a Windows 2012R2 Print Server, that is sharing various printers which are also set to List in Directory. Some of the printers are HP and are using the HP Universal driver which shows as "True" for Packaged in
the print management window, and some of the printers are Canon which are using device specific drivers and show as "False" for Packaged. My understanding is that the packaged attribute simply indicates that Point and Print can then download
the driver and install/use it without any security prompts whereas if it is not Packaged, then the driver must be installed on the local server/workstation by an Administrator. We have Group Policy defined such that all Point and Print restrictions are
Disabled.
We then have multiple Remote Desktop Session Hosts based on Server 2008R2 (x64). Users connect to these hosts via thin clients (Wyse) and there is a domain login script using KiXtart that creates printer connections to the shared printers using an address
of \\printserver\printername. We also set the default printer via the login script each time depending on user's group membership.
Each part of this setup is on it's own routed VLAN subnet, so the Print Server is on 192.168.0.x/24, RDSHs are on 192.168.1.x/24 and the printers themselves are on 192.168.2.x/24. There is no firewall or other restrictions between the subnets, all traffic
is allowed to flow.
The issue we are having is two parts, the first is the larger issue, but both are a pain:
1) Randomly (no discernible pattern/reason/timeframe), some Canon printers will stop appearing in Print dialog boxes from applications when a user tries to print. It only seems to happen on the Canon printers. The printer will still show in Control
Panel -> Devices and Printers, but when you right click it and try to go to Printer Properties or view any of the printer settings, you'll get an error saying the printer is not accessible/valid. I have also tried a WMI query for "select * from
win32_printer" and the printer will not be returned. To temporarily fix it, we right click the printer, and choose to remove it and then go through the wizard to re-add the same printer from the directory again. That will correct it and the
user can print again, view all properties, etc. This doesn't happen to every user but happens sporadically and once it happens to a user it seems to pop up once every week or two.
Now, we have made a change and installed the Canon printers in question locally on the Remote Desktop Session Hosts themselves using TCP/IP ports so that each user logging into the session host will see all of the printers. This also seems to have resolved
this issue. So it leads me to think there is some sort of timeout or connection getting dropped, but for no real apparent reason. This is all on a virtualized platform and so the Print Server and Session Hosts have very reliable LAN connections
amongst themselves. And further, we never see the issue with the HP printers, they seem to maintain their stability at all times.
2) The other issue we are seeing is that from time to time the default printer setting changes or vanishes altogether. It doesn't happen to every user but once it does happen it happens regularly (multiple times a day). This happens even when using
the locally mapped TCP/IP printer or when using the network print server. From what I have read and found, this generally seems to be a known issue regarding redirected client printers and some GP settings related thereto. But we aren't redirecting
any local client printers, everything is network based/shared.
In digging into these two issues I have run across the following error we get regularly in the PrintService Event Viewer log:
The print spooler failed to import the printer driver that was downloaded from \\printserver\print$\x64\PCC\ntprint.inf_amd64_59246c3ac1bd3f2a.cab into the driver store for driver Microsoft enhanced Point and Print compatibility driver. Error code= 800f024b.
This can occur if there is a problem with the driver or the digital signature of the driver.
And digging further into that seems to be that their was an error validating one of the DLL files as seen at the following thread: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/9fe186e4-52f7-4552-a223-b2320cfc9ed5/driver-install-semi-fails-with-800f024b?forum=winserverprint
We get the exact same error that is shown there UNISRV.DLL being flagged as invalid, and have applied the hotfix indicated in KB2701894.
I am not sure the above error is realted to the issues at hand, but figured it is a good starting point to eliminate it as a potential cause of the issue.
Any input or suggestions on what to do to diagnose or further resolve this would be greatly appreciated!

Alan, I'm getting this error 600 in my company. Is there any fix for this problem?
After installing KB2919355 on Windows 2012 R2, when I try to map a shared printer I receive the following error message: A policy is in effect on your computer which prevents you from connecting to this print queue. Please contact your system administrator.
If I uninstall the patch the shared printer maps correctly.
I also notice that if I copy the driver \\server\print$\x64\PCC\ntprint.inf_amd64_a7ac65d1b7714fb1.cab
from a Windows 2012 R2 before applying KB2919355 to the server that has the patch applyed (and rename it), I can map the printer.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for that?

Commit events are not broadcast because no JMS Transport is available.

Just set up a new WebLogic 10.3.2 domain and I am seeing this while starting the Admin Server:
<Mar 1, 2010 6:37:03 PM CST> <Error> <Security> <BEA-000000> <Commit events are not broadcast because no JMS Transport is available. Remote L2 caches will be out of sync.>
anyone have any idea what this is and what's causing it?

Hi,
I followed the instructions given under " Configure the RDBMS security store " ( Step 6 ) and restarted my Server. :-
+6. In the section labeled Server Synchronization Configuration, specify the appropriate settings for JNDI and JMS so that the RDBMS security store can cache database information in memory correctly. If the RDBMS is running in more than one JVM -- for example, the domain has multiple servers, or other Oracle products are sharing the same RDBMS store with the new domain -- these caches must be synchronized to ensure the integrity of the security data.+
To configure server synchronization:
+1. Specify a JNDI user name and password. This can be any valid user in the security realm who has access to JNDI.+
+2. Create a JMS topic. You may reuse an existing one, if desired. For information, see Configure topics.+
Caution: Failure to configure JMS notifications in a multiserver domain in which the RDBMS security store is configured may result in a security vulnerability.
+7. Click Save.+
+8. To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.+
Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).
However, I still see the same error :-
*+<Error> <Security> <BEA-000000> <Commit events are not broadcast because no JMS Transport is available. Remote L2 caches will be out of sync.>+*
Am I missing something ?

Hello,
I have followed the instruction to set my HP Photosmart C7250 for sharing but when I get to the dropdown to select turn on printer sharing I get the error message:
Printer settings could not be saved. Operation could not be completed (error 0x0000007a).
What does this mean and what should I do to fix it?
thanks,

Portal Example Server problem: Commit events are not broadcast no JMS

Hi experts!
I've installed the Oracle WebLogic Portal 10gR3 (10.3.2) on the Windows XP machine:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/weblogic-portal/downloads/index-092352.html
I followed by http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13155_01/wlp/docs103/samples/dvt-sample.html
- installed the Portal Examples
- Start > All Programs > Oracle Products > WebLogic Portal > Examples > Start Example Server.
but my server was staying in RUNNING mode and threw errors....
<Errors> <Security> <BEA-000000> <Commit events are not broadcast because no JMS Transport is available. Remote L2 caches will be out of sync.>
What should I do?

Hi,
I followed the instructions given under " Configure the RDBMS security store " ( Step 6 ) and restarted my Server. :-
+6. In the section labeled Server Synchronization Configuration, specify the appropriate settings for JNDI and JMS so that the RDBMS security store can cache database information in memory correctly. If the RDBMS is running in more than one JVM -- for example, the domain has multiple servers, or other Oracle products are sharing the same RDBMS store with the new domain -- these caches must be synchronized to ensure the integrity of the security data.+
To configure server synchronization:
+1. Specify a JNDI user name and password. This can be any valid user in the security realm who has access to JNDI.+
+2. Create a JMS topic. You may reuse an existing one, if desired. For information, see Configure topics.+
Caution: Failure to configure JMS notifications in a multiserver domain in which the RDBMS security store is configured may result in a security vulnerability.
+7. Click Save.+
+8. To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.+
Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).
However, I still see the same error :-
*+<Error> <Security> <BEA-000000> <Commit events are not broadcast because no JMS Transport is available. Remote L2 caches will be out of sync.>+*
Am I missing something ?
Thanks,

Attach file not showing shared devices

When using Mac Mail however, the attach button (paperclip icon) does not display "Shared" in the left sidebar menu. Please advise how I may attach a file from a Shared device (a PC on the network) to my Mac Mail.
A little background: We have a small personal network with only Mac and PC computers both accessible to one another thru a common WiFi and set permissions between the computers. With Finder I can use Ctrl-K to add any PC on our network and open and drill down to look at the user's files, desktops, documents, etc. Thanks to permissions granted on the PC, I can also edit, delete or modify the PC's files as well. Now when I open Finder, the connection to the PC ("hnk2011") remains available under "Shared" header along with a few network printers (screenshot attached).
When drafting an email however, these "Shared" header is not visible in the Attach file menu and is also not listed under the "Devices" header (screenshot attached). Where did "hnk2011" disappear to? How do I find it?

Ooops. Now I know what you're referring to. The only shared device I've got access to is a flash drive connected to our Airport Express and I'm able to access it OK. Can't help you with PCs connected. You may have to get the attachment via the Finder and ad it that way to the email.
