Can't add groups or users to the wiki

I've found a few threads on this, but none of them have presented a solution.
Setup:
XServe with Leopard 10.5.4 on it.
Advanced mode.
Problem:
Under the Server Admin panel, if I add a user or group to have Wiki and Blog permissions, if I click save, the user and or groups do not stay in the list. And on the site they do not have wiki or blog options. The group/user vanished.
If I try to enable wiki and blog options for a group under the "basic" tab in Workgroup Manager, all options are disabled (i.e. - "Enable the following services for this group on: (None)" is disabled.
The DNS is set appropriately.
The machine is (correctly) set for Open Directory - Stand Alone server.
Here is an interesting addition to the problem.
1.) Through the System Admin panel, if I add a user to the wiki permission list, and click save
2.) Open a broswer over the System Admin panel (without navigating to anywhere else in System Admin) and log in to the local wiki
3.) The "groups" button is enabled, but the "users" button is not.
4.) Click on "groups"
5.) Now the "users" button is also enabled.
6.) Go to "Users"
7.) Select "create a blog" and enter my username and password.
8.) Give my blog a name.
9.) Now the blog shows up under the Users list.
10.) Open my blog in the users list.
11.) Create a new blog entry.
12.) Go back to System Admin panel, navigate anywhere else, and then return to the wiki settings for the appropriate site, the user and or groups are gone once again.
13.) Go back to the web broswers and pull up the local wiki.
14.) "groups" will be enabled. "users" will be disabled.
15.) Click "groups"
16.) "Users" is now enabled.
17.) Click on "users"
18 a.) Often a 404 page appears, or a wiki page that is pure text (no html).
18 b.) Refresh the page, and now the normal list of user blogs appears.
19.) Click on the blog I created previously.
20.) Viola! It is completely usable and viewable, but the User will NEVER appear as having permissions under the Web options in Server Admin.

Hi
The machine is (correctly) set for Open Directory - Stand Alone server
If this is truly what is says then whatever you are trying to achieve won't happen. The Server has to be an OD Master and users and groups need to exist in the LDAP node. Wiki, Blog and iCal will not be available as services until you you do this.
The DNS is set appropriately
The foundation for a successful Open Directory Master offering LDAP and SSO is DNS. Don't confuse an external DNS service with an internal one that the server will require. You don't have to configure DNS on the server itself just as long as it is configured on another server on the same network will do.

Hi
Using DM to make a group. Goto the tab for services and everything ..wiki etc.. is ghosted out
What's DM? If you are not seeing an option to enable calendaring in the Users Advanced Tab or similar options for Wiki, Blog etc in the Groups Tab then either you are in the Local node in which case these services won't work or your Server is not configured as an OD Master. Same advice applies to you really.
The admin manual although poor does clearly state what's required:
http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/iCalService_Admin_v10.5_2ndEd.pdf
You should download this one as well:
http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/OpenDirectory_Admin_v10.5_2ndEd.pdf
Finally there is a requirement for clients to be bound to the Server for this to be truly effective. Use Directory Utility found in /Applications/Utilites to achieve this.
If I'm telling you something you already know then please accept my apologies.

    Is anybody know how to do that?

  • Windows SBS 2011 - I can't add a new user through the SBS Console

    I have recently installed SBS 2011 and this is my first install of SBS since 2003.
    After the installation I went to the SBS Console to add a new user and when I select 'Add a new user account' and base it on the Standard User account i get a message saying 'Add a New User Account failed', when i view the details for this it says "The User
    Account cannot be added. Ensure that the Active Directory Domain Services service is running....
    I searched the web for this and found the following which was not applicable http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958890 
    I then resorted to adding the users via AD Users and Computers and the modifying the value in the ADSI for msSBSCreationState to 'Created' and then it appeared in the console, i then used the console to change the user role for this account to Standard User.
    But when i now click on the "Edit User Account Properties" action i get a pop up message from SBS Server saying "There is no such object on the server".
    Any ideas on ow to fix this broken console would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • How can I add an admin user in Oracle Unified Directory (OUD) 11g r2?

    I'm using OUD 11G R2. I just installed OUD with the default setting and setup an instance.  I tried to add an admin user with the command:
        ./ldapmodify -h localhost -p 1389 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password --defaultAdd --filename admin.ldif
    Here is the content of admin.ldif
        dn: cn=oimuser,cn=Root DNs,cn=config

        objectClass: person

    I got the error as below:
    The provided entry cn=oimuser,cn=Root DNs,cn=config cannot be added because its suffix is not registered with the network group network-group
    Would you please advise how I can fix that? Thanks

    I got the reason. cn=config is an administrative suffix.
    In general, direct LDAP access to the administrative suffixes (using
    the ldap* utilities) is discouraged. In most cases, it is preferable
    to use the dedicated administrative command-line utilities to access
    these suffixes.
    If you must use the ldap* commands to access the administrative
    suffixes, you must use the administration connector port (with the
    --useSSL or -Z option).
    It works when I use the command:
        ./ldapmodify -h localhost -p 4444 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Oracle123 --defaultAdd -Z --filename admin.ldif
    You can verify it by:
        ./ldapsearch -h localhost -p 4444 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password --useSSL -b "cn=root DNs,cn=config" "cn=oimuser"

  • ACF2 Scripted Host Adapter | Add groups to users

    I am exploring options to provision to ACF2. We need to assign ACF2 groups to users and the ACF2 resource (or mainframes) behave different from other resources. Users get assigned into groups rather than groups getting added to the user.
    To accommodate this we plan to use the ScriptedHost adapter and write a ResourceAction Update script to actually add the user to the group requested. The side effect to this approach is that we now need to code scripts for all other actions like create, delete, disable, enable etc.. Is this how everybody does it - or is there a better approach? I am thinking around the lines of after actions with an ACF2 adapter...
    Also - once you create the scripts as resource actions in the ScriptedHost adapter, do we have control to call them whenever we like - or are they automatically triggered - like the Create resourceaction script is called when a user is assigned the scriptedhost as a resource. So apart from configuring the different script names in the ScriptedHost resource wizard, nothing else needs to be done to make the provisioning work with the ACF2 resource?
    And is the order of script execution automatically maintained - like Login action is called first before the Create action and finally the Logoff action.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hey Anokun,
    I am reading up on how to create Scripted Host Adapters. I will be creating 13 of them soon. I have looked over all the docs I could find and am still a little bit lost. I think that the samplescreenactions can be used as a template. I'm still not quite sure how to go about creating these actual Adapters. I would was wondering if you had an example of a scripted host adapter you had that you could share with me.
    Thanks,
    Nik

    I can't add any more columns. The option is suddenly greyed out.

    Allen,
    Actually, there is a TRANSPOSE Function, but no Command or Tool for that. It's one of the more useful and popular omissions in Numbers. Perhaps because it falls into the "didn't plan ahead so now I need a tool" category of features, it didn't make the cut.
    Use of the Transpose Function is described in the Function Browser, the Help feature and in the Functions of Formulas User Guide PDF. It involves using the INDEX function to read out the array created by the Transpose function. Another way to do this is to use the OFFSET function in an expression and by exchanging the row and column references.
    Yvan Koenig has written an Applescript that will automate the transposition for data and for certain simple expressions. You can get it from his Box Account, on this page.

  • Can't add in new users any more in Workgroup Manager

    Hello all,
    You all might remember me from my other post about problems with the server - I gave up yesterday and reformatted the hard drive, reinstalled OSX and set everything up. All worked lovely and perfect. Put in a few users, worked fine. Could log in and access my home directories - perfectly fine. All looked rosy.
    Roll on to this afternoon, I tried to add in a new user by changing to /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 in Workgroup Manager, can see the list of users, so I clicked on the padlock icon to authenticate myuself - so an username and password prompt popped up. I've got 2 admin accounts on the server - one admin and one nadmin, the former to administrate the local stuff, and nadmin for the server stuff. Put in the nadmin username and password and I got:
    The login information is not valid for this server. The server failed to accept the login information you provided. Check the Name and Password and try to log in again or contact your network administrator.
    Somewhat surprised as I logged in Workgroup Manager with the same username and password! I tried several different permuations of usernames:
    Login window: admin
    Workgroup Manager: admin
    /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1: nadmin
    and then, admin, nadmin, nadmin, then nadmin, nadmin, nadmin, then tried admin, admin, admin - and in every case I could get to Workgroup Manager but unable to authenticate to the /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 node using either admin or nadmin passwords. I've tried changing nadmin's password, and adding in a new admin user and nothing works. Even tried rebooting the server, no go. Everything still works perfectly fine, I can log in using my network username on a Mac and access my home directory fine - I just can't add in new users, delete them or change their information. Very frustrasting!
    What am I doing wrong, and what can I do to fix this problem?
    Thanks very much for your help in advance!
    Cheers - Piers

    Is the user you are trying to use to make changes with the directory admin that was created at the initial setup of your OD? Has the other user you are trying to use been granted privileges to administer the directory (under user accounts)?

  • Can a workflow steps and users for the steps be controlled by contributors?

    Is it possible to have a workflow that allows contributors to select list of steps and users in the steps? The universal set of steps and users for steps can be defined in the designer mode. But the contributors can decide for a particular content item what steps need to be skipped and the users for the step. But atleast one approver step is mandatory. This is some strange requirement that our client is expecting. Is this possible?
    Regards,
    Pratap

    Hi Pratap,
    Short answer: Yes. This has been possible since the Stellent 5.x days (and possibly earlier). We can help you with this if you need services - see our Workflow offerings here: http://bit.ly/b2Ydv6
    Or you can do it yourself. For the details you should see "Setting Up Ad Hoc Step Users" in the workflow admin guide (pp 147, section 9-13) http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10316_01/cs/cs_doc_10/documentation/admin/workflow_guide_10gr3en.pdf
    Remember that a "step" is just a container for a certain group of users to take action on certain kinds of content. So you can have one step but if you loop over it 3 times with a different set of users each time you have a defacto 3 step workflow.
    You need 2 things:
    1) the workflow plumbing for the selection of the next "step" (and/or group of users) in the workflow (tokens and subworkflows typically)
    2) a UI for the end users / contributors to actually make the selections.
    For 1) you use tokens that will ultimately resolve to a list of user names who should take action. You might use names (e.g. bcripe) or aliases (e.g. The Legal Team) or other concepts that make sense to the end users who will be participating (e.g. capital expenditure review). Whatever you do the tokens will ultimately yield one or more user ids which become the step users.
    For 2) you can use anything that will make those plumbing values available to the UCM workflow engine. Most common is using metadata fields. They're easy, can be displayed only during workflows (using rules and profiles), and fairly intuitive for most UCM users (if there are not too many!!!). However, you can just as easily write web services, BPEL tasks, or CIS integrations that take form or other triggered input from the user and pass those parameters back to the workflow engine. For more complex workflows this is often a good idea especially if you are dealing with people who are only casual users of UCM or who are interacting with content through another primary UI.
    Either way, let us know what we can do to help. Workflows are a special passion to us here at Fishbowl and we've got supported software to prove it. http://bit.ly/95Rocu
