Caching AD login credentials not working with 10.5.5

Hello all,
We are trying to add our Mac clients running OSX 10.5.5 as workstations in our Windows Domain (we are running AD in Windows 2003 native mode). I can add the Mac workstation to authenticate against the domain but login will only work if the Mac client is connected to our network.
On a Windows laptop that is a member of the domain, if you are off the network and it can't reach a domain controller it will used cached credentials.
I read that this should work in chapter 6 titled "Active Directory Integration" in the document linked off of Apple's site named "Leveraging Active Directory on a Mac OS X".
Here is the link to that doc http://www.bombich.com/mactips/activedir.html
Here are the steps I followed to add the Mac client to the domain.
1. On the Mac go to "Applications" --> "Utilities"
--> "Directory Utility".
2. Click on "Services" and check off the Active Directory
plugin.
3. Double click the Active Directory plugin and enter in the
following
"Active Directory Forest:" Leave as default
"Active Directory Domain:" wheatonma.edu
"Computer ID:" computername_here
View the Advanced Options and enter in the following.
Under "User Experience" check the "force local home directory on startup disk" option.
I selected the Create mobile account at logon field so that Mac users can logon
with cached credentials when they can't reach a domain controller or are away from the network.
I deselected the Require Confirmation field, because I want all the Mac users on this machine
to use mobile accounts.
Also uncheck the next option "Use UNC path from Active Directory to derive network home location"
Also uncheck the "Default user shell".
Under the "Mappings" tab check off "Map UID to attribute" and change the attribute to "sAMAccountName".
Under the "Administrative" tab uncheck the option "Prefer this domain server".
Also under this tab make sure the "Allow Administration by:" option is checked
off and the following 3 entries should be added (along with the new owner of the mac)
WC\domain admins
WC\enterprise admins
WC\bgibson
Click "Bind" and it will ask you for the local admin's password, enter it.
It will then ask you for the following
Username: Enter in the domain admin username
Password: Active Directory password for the user above.
Computer OU: ou=wheatonmacintoshclients,dc=wheatonma,dc=edu
Check off the option named "use for authentication" and uncheck the "use for contacts". Hit "OK".
4. Exit out of the Directory Utility and reboot the computer. Login using the "other" name
and enter in your domain username and Active Directory password.
We do not want to setup an Open Directory and sync data from our domain controllers. All we really need is the ability for the Mac client to authenticate into the system.
Thanks

Hi Templeton, thanks for the suggestion. I had been on that site before. I had called Apple as part of our school's support package and they had suggested that we look at that site... I should have mentioned it earlier. I have the new 10.5.5 laptop binding to AD okay but only when it is plugged into the network. It still will not cache the credentials for when I am offline and trying to login.

  • Why my hp simple pass website login does not work with firefox latest version ?

    I have the latest version of firefox version 16.0.1 and my hp simple pass website login does not show up like it worked in IE9.

  • Osascript for remote login does not work with Leopard

    We are testing Leopard on one computer in our labs. The only problem so far is that the osascript that we use to remote login to the computers stopped working (although it works fine on the Tiger machines):
    osascript <<EndOfMyScript
    tell application "System Events"
    keystroke "public"
    keystroke tab
    delay 0.5
    keystroke return
    keystroke tab
    delay 0.5
    keystroke return
    keystroke return
    end tell
    EndOfMyScript
    This is a public account with no user password. I've read the discussion below, but have not been able to tweak the command so that it works with Leopard. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.
    http://lists.apple.com/archives/Remote-desktop/2007/Nov/msg00045.html

    I'm having a similar problem - the script below works with my G5 iMacs running 10.4.9 but not the Intel iMacs running 10.4.8. It almost works - the username and password appear in the right boxes, so I run around the room pressing the Return key.
    # This script when used with ASR Send UNIX command will login workstations at the LoginWindow.
    # The script assumes that the cursor is focused in the Name field.
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke "username"'; \
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke tab'; \
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to delay 0.5'; \

  • Adobe ID login will not work with Mozilla SeaMonkey

    Having not logged in for many years it came as no surprise to find I had forgotten my password. But it turned out more complicated, Using my favourite browser from Mozilla SeaMonkey I could not get past the "reset password".. or subsequently log in. I get a file sent to me called create_account.do or login.do and SeaMonkey does not know what to do with this..
    I appreciate that this section of the forum does not deal with the workings of the Adobe forum web site, but perhaps.. as this forum is sort of related to browser compatibility.. this problem could be passed on to higher authorities by someone..

    I use Mozilla Firefox as my default browser.  But some parts of the Adobe site don't perform as well as they should with ad blocking and other add-ons enabled.
    My first suggestion is to disable ad blocking and any other optional add-ons you may have working in Sea Monkey.
    My second and only other suggestion is to switch to Google's Chrome browser.  When the going gets tough, Chrome usually works when all the other browser don't.

  • BI Publisher not working with Web Cache

    BI Publisher not working with Web Cache
    I'm trying to enable BI Publisher to run from the internet. I have Web Cache (AS10g rel 2) in an internet DMZ, trying to work with BI Publisher running on a AS10g rel 3 server in a application DMZ. BI Publisher won't allow Web Cache to hide the URL after login. It tries to use the application server name as a URL and gets lost, since this is not resolvable from the internet. We have Content DB, other J2EE application installed in this same configuration, and it works fine.
    This is duty managed as of today. They required an enhancement request, which I submitted. SR 6696835.993 -

    Currently an enhancement - it was logged as that but IMHO its a bug as other Oracle products work OK - it kinda depends on whether its an ORacle strd to work with webcache or not. Suffice to say, we are investigating the issue and will update the er/bug soon.

    I have done the following:
    Downloaded the patched hal version.
    used makepkg in /abs/local/trunk/ to create a pkg for pacman
    used sudo pacman -U pkgname to install it.
    used sudo nano /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi to create the fdi file with the following content:
    saved the file and removed my ntfs entryes from fstab and rebooted. and still there is no automount off ntfs partitions.
    have i done something wrong?
    br fjodork
    WARNING: what follows is a guide of what did work for me, I'm still in an early stage of learning linux, so please correct me if anything of what follows is wrong/dangerous/stupid. As I said, this worked for me, it's not pretty, since I was learning each step on the fly and I'm sure there are better ways to do this.
    So fjodork, you seem to have done the the necessary steps, though i couldn't get it to work until i first removed hal without dependencies
    pacman -Rd hal
    it will give you some warning about the dependencies, ignore  it since we are reinstalling hal in a few steps.
    First i tried to follow Raymano's link, obviously it showed me nothing in the browser so I thought it might be a broken link.
    So I downloaded the source tarball from here http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/hal-0.5.10.tar.gz
    unpacked it changed the /tools/hal-storage-mount.c as per Milfadoodle's instructions.
    at first I tried to compile directly from source, the process would finish without a glitch though after reboot nothing changed, as if hal weren't
    installed, i guess there were issues with paths. anyway read on
    Then repacked the source in tarball, copied it to /var/abs/extra/system/hal and modified the PKGBUILD as follows
    makedepends=('pkgconfig' 'gperf')
    options=('!libtool')
    install=hal.install
    source=(${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz #removed url so makepkg looks in the current directory for the tarball
        hal
        hal-policy.patch
        cryptsetup_location.patch
        hal-0.5.9-hide-diagnostic.patch
        ntfs3g-valid-options.patch)
    md5sums=('6641c30a27c00485c6accac5110ff911' # replace with md5sum of your package's sourceball (run md5sum filename)
             '882f67668cb14a0a9e4a27ef22278027'
             '5ba8b610aa9763a5f42b9f7cbd7a86ad'
    then makepkg (i had to add --asroot, don't ask why
    and finally pacman -U hal-0.5.10-1-i686.pkg
    another reboot and everything worked without a glitch!:D (yeah i know i still haven't got rid of the reboot mentality )
    I have also put the policy files as per the wiki instructions.
    PS: I know this is a dirty way to getting things done but as i said, I'm just starting
    If anyone could comment/correct/explain this post I'd be more than happy, the automount issue was bothering me for about a month now (you'll say why do I need ntfs in the first place? well, I only recently switched for Linux as my primary OS, these are some relics of the M$ era

  • Safari not working with Yosemite- incompatible with google search too

    Ever since I upgraded my macbook pro, Safari has been slow.  In the past 2 days, it's more than slow - it's impossible.  I am able to get to pages I have bookmarked or get to links in email documents - but every time I try to do a search using the search bar in Safari, it hangs.  Sometimes I get a list of possible websites (after a few minutes) but if I click on any of those, Safari just hangs there and won't go.  I even had to use Chrome in order to generate this question in the discussion groups. Does anyone have any suggestions other than using an alternate browser.   Is it possible that google and Safari on Yosemite are incompatible? I did try using the "Develop" menubar option and chose DuckDuckgo as the search tool and it worked a bit better.
    This is now the 2nd big issue I've had with Yosemite -- it totally would not work with my Adobe Photoshop Elements program -- I spent hours on the Adobe forums and discovered that 100s of others were also having issues.  It turned out to be a problem with Yosemite and the trackpad.  Adobe finally came up with a temporary plugin that allows Elements (and other Adobe programs) to run.
    Suggesions on Safari other than ditching it and using Chrome?

    Try a Safari reset.
    Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items.  Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History and Web Site Data. The down side is it clears all cookies.Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site.

  • Applets not working with Java 1.7.0_51 in MII 14.0 SP4 Patch 5

    Hi,
    I'm currently evaluating the migration of our MII 12.0 developments to MII 14.
    But I'm running in several issues just trying to use simple things like a SQL query template with an iGrid Display template in test mode.
    Used versions are: MII 14.0 SP4 Patch 5 and on client side the latest Mozilla Firefox with Java 1.7.0_51
    At first I always get a java security warning when the applet is being loaded about unsigned applications.
    At second the applet itself is not running. It always shows "No data available" and the java console shows the following errors (iResult is the id of the applet):
    iResult [ERROR] - Couldn't set query template: No Query Defined
    iResult [ERROR] - Couldn't set display template: null
    iResult [ERROR] - Couldn't set display template: null
    Is this perhaps a general problem, that the MII applets are not working with Java 1.7.x versions?
    If I call the same MII page from a client with Java 1.6.x it is working without errors.
    Do you have some suggestions for me?
    Regards Timo

    please clear your JAVA Cache. that should solve the JRE issue. thanks

  • Gmail suddenly not working with Apple Mail

    My gmail suddenly is not working with Apple Mail.
    It said my username or password is wrong, but it was okay this morning.
    Nevertheless, I deleted my gmail account, and re-setup it using Internet Accounts from System Preference.
    However, I got the beow message:
    There was a problem setting up the Mail account. An unknown error occurred.
    I am sure my username and password are correct because I just login it using Safari.
    Does anyone know what the cause is?
    Please help~~~

    Gmail not syncing in mac mail is a problem that is also in snow leopard since the new year.
    OSX 10.6.8  is the highest OS that will run on an Intel Core 2 Duo.  Do not try to install Mavericks on this machine! I will install, but turns it into a dinosaur and many programs will no longer run.
    I had an issue with Mac Mail not syncing with imap.gmail.com. and Safari not being able to find apple.com.
    This was resolved by working with an upper level tech support member for several hours deleating particular system library files, uninstalling most addons, reseting system network settings and a whole lot more! (too much to name here)
    Thank you Apple Tech Support.

  • Adobe Flash Player does not work with Safari. What can I do?

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook Pro, Retina, 15 inch, late 2013,  2 GHz Intel Core i7, using OS X 10.9.4. I have installed Adobe Flash Player. In my System Preference, in the advanced settings, it is set to install updates also tells me that I have the NPAPI Plug-in (version 14.0.0.145) installed but not the PPAPI Plug-in. Is this the reason why it does not work with Safari (keeps telling me to download the app, which I did but still does not work)? Is there any way I could fix the problem? Please, help.
    Thanks.

    If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
    If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
    Step 2
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
    and confirm. Close the window. Then select
               ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
    Step 3
    If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    Step 4
    a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
              When visiting other websites
    From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
    b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
    c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
              Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 5
    In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
              Stop plug-ins to save power
    Step 6
    Open this folder as in Step 4:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
              Flash Player (failing).plugin 
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    Step 7
    Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    Step 8
    If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked  
              Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
    Then click the button marked
              Manage Website Settings...
    if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
    Step 9
    Select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

  • Photoshop CS5 not working with Lucida Grande Regular font

    On my iMac Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz, I am running OS 10.6.7.
    When using Photoshop CS5, if I try to use the font, Lucida Grande Regular, it causes an error.
    "Could not use the type tool because of a program error."
    When I try to open an existing file that has type layers that include the font Lucida Grande Regular, Photoshop will not open the file. I have several of these files that I want to use. I can open them on another Macintosh and everything works fine.
    First I get a message window that says, " Some text layers might need to be updated before they can be used for vector based output. Do you want to update these layers now?" I click on update and then get the following message. "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
    I have updated Photoshop CS5 to the latest version, 12.0.4.
    I have run the FontTest.jsx script and it shows an error for Lucida Grande Regular.
    (IOError: General Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop.
    - <no additional information available>)
    The other 100+ fonts on my machine did not create errors.
    Since Lucida Grande Regular is an essential font for Mac OS X, I re-installed OS 10.6 in order to have a new version of Lucida Grande Regular. After that re-install I am having the same problems with the font not working in Photoshop.
    It also does not work with Adobe InDesign CS5. The font does work in Microsoft Word.
    The program Font Book verifies Lucida Grande Regular.
    Other fonts including, Lucida Grande Bold, work fine in Photoshop and InDesign.
    What can I do to get Photoshop CS5 to work with Lucida Grande Regular?

    Wow, I'm so glad I found this thread. This problem has been dogging me for years, and it's so sporadic that I've been afraid of breathing the wrong way lest I somehow incur that diabolical Program Error dialog. I'd managed to reach a truce with Photoshop CS5, getting it into a barely working state, and avoiding all updates... until Lion came along today. Then I updated to CS5 12.0.4, and the Program Errors were back again.
    Now I see that the problem does seem to be related to the Lucida Grande font. If there's a layer with that font in it, not only can I not edit that text, but I can't marquee select anything, nor drag any shapes. Deleting caches and massaging fonts are completely ineffectual measures... but if I delete the Lucida layers entirely, we're back in business.
    At least so far.
    Funny to think that of all the innovations I'd like to see Photoshop adopt, the fixing of this one issue is the thing I'd like to see most. I'll be keeping my eye on this thread, and any updates by Mr. Cox.
