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't add a new user or group in Workgroup Manager

    Here's the error:
    Error of type eDSRecordNotFound (-14136) on line 1268 of /SourceCache/WorkgroupManager/WorkgroupManager-361.2.1/PMMUGMainView.mm

    I suspect there is an issue going on with Open Directory. I also have a nagging issue with Address Book Server. All my users except one can use it without issue. That one user keeps having an authentication problem when trying to connect to their server-based address book (although they have no issue with log in). Rebooting the OD Server flushes the issue away just like the user account issue. After a week or so, the problems re-appear. I've gone through the logs but they're pretty cryptic. In relation to the Address Book Issue when it last appeared a few days ago, at that time, I also was trying to delete a user account I no longer needed through Workgroup Manager. It predictably failed. After rebooting the OD server, both problems magically disappeared. Suddenly the problematic Address Book Server account was working AND I could delete the user account. ... all very odd.

  • 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,
    Simon

  • Why I can't add a new user in my DPS Account Administration panel.

    I get this message: The email address you entered could not be added as a Digital Publishing user to this account. Please choose a different Adobe ID or create a new Adobe ID for the user.
    I don't know what to do. Need to create new APP accounts. Please help.

    I do thise every two months: I create a new account, next  I create the app. Then I use that account on DPS, but this time, supposing that the order does not care, I create the new account and then I used in DPS and finally when I tried to create the app, I get this message: The email address you entered could not be added as a Digital Publishing user to this account. Please choose a different Adobe ID or create a new Adobe ID for the user.
    if I gues, I make it bad. But how do I resolve this? Using the DPS administration tool I need to add a new user for my application but now I can't.  really need this done.  Please help.

  • Can't add a new user

    Running 10.8.5 Server on a Mini Server.  ~200 users.  Users are able to logon to their Network Home Directories, use email, change passwords, etc.  They don't seem to see any trouble.
    A few weeks ago it stopped letting me add new users, neither via the Accounts -> Users pane in Server.app nor via Workgroup Manager.app.
    The only error message is a cryptic "Connection failed to the directory server."  The only response offered is OK.
    The only relevant lines in /var/log/system.log are:
    Nov  4 13:41:38 mac001.phy.ilstu.edu com.apple.SecurityServer[21]: Succeeded authorizing right 'system.privilege.admin' by client '/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/libexec/ServerEventAgent' [115] for authorization created by '/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/libexec/ServerEventAgent' [115] (2,0)
    Nov  4 13:41:38 mac001.phy.ilstu.edu com.apple.SecurityServer[21]: Succeeded authorizing right 'system.privilege.admin' by client '/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.apple.serverd' [105] for authorization created by '/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/libexec/ServerEventAgent' [115] (100000,0)
    which look as though the request succeeded, when it didn't.
    Any ideas what I might look at?

    Followup 2:  The discussion in another thread from 4 years ago
         https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2146764?start=15&tstart=0
    ... suggests it's a LDAP/Kerberos problem, although the solution in that thread doesn't even seem to be available in the new Server.app.  They may be right - that stuff is pure black-box voodoo to me.
    Anyway, that thread said to turn on SSL LDAP in Open Directory.  I looked in my Certificates panel, and it seems to be already turned on for all services including Open Directory (except web pages, for which it just breaks any page that uses port 80).  My self-signed LDAP certificates all seem to be valid and not expired.
    Where else can I look?

  • How can I add a new user to my managed account?

    *There is an existing skype user.  i.e She already has a skype account
    *I have a Skype Manager account and want to provide her with SkypeCredit
    *I am having trouble doing that.  It seems that I can add a new member to my group only if they are a new user (i.e. they get a new skype address). Then I seem to have learned that this might not be possible if I or they (?) are in the US.
    Will someone clarify this?
    Skype support tells me that: 
    "Reymark C: I am afraid adding members in somewhere in US is no longer available."
    Is this somewhere on the help pages that I missed.  Being logged-in, skype knows where I am (or where I list my home as).  Why did it let me waste so much time struggling with this?
    Also, why is there this restriction?
    ...after much other talk.....
    L JEPSON: Question: Can I add skype credit to another person's account?
    Reymark C: That;s only possible once he is already added to your manage account.
    L JEPSON: You said I cannot add members in the US.
    Reymark C: Those are only possible outside US.
    L JEPSON: So I can not add anyone to my manager account, b/c I am in the US, correct?
    Aside, why can't the skype support use skype-screenshare?  I wanted to show what I saw.  Instead, we had me sign some online contract, gave control of my computer to the support person.  Spent a fair amount of time doing this.   Enable your users to use skype to see our screens, please, Microsoft.  You can still record the conversation and record the screenshare, can't you?

  • I can't add a new user in my Account Administration Panel, why?

    I have been  using DPS Professional for a while, but now I'm in troubles with it. I was able to create new users and then create applications assigned with the user I added before, but now I just can't do it anymore.
    Even if it's a new Adobe ID, the problem stills. I have deleted current users and then I tried to add them again and no problem occurred.
    I do not know what to do, please help.

    See http://status.adobedps.com/?p=840 for an update on this issue and for a workaround that will enable you to complete the process of adding a new user.

  • HT4539 how can i add a new device in iTunes in iCloud- Manage devices??

    Hi!
    I have an iphone 5 with the software iOS 6.0.2 nd a Mac with the software OS X 10.8.2. The option of automatic downloads is enabled on both my devices but when i view my apple account it shows that my iphone hasnt been added to the list of devices in the iTunes in iCloud, hence any new app that i download on my Mac does not get downloaded on my iPhone automatically. I have to keep syncing my phone each time to get the new apps, please help me with this asap.
    Thank You.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    It's normal. OS X apps aren't downloaded automatically on your iPhone because the OS X apps don't work with an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, and the same happens with iPhone apps and Macs. Don't worry about this because it's normal

  • I Can Add a new user, But the new user cannot logg in how can I solve this?

    Hi there. When I add a new user every thing works great except when I try to logg this new user. The computer freezers at the logging window with the processing bar working indefinetly. To fix it I have to AppleCtrlpower swich to get out and restrat the computer. I can only logg in as the administrator... Can any one help me and point me to a right solution. Thank you!

    Javivi:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    It is difficult to tell why your new user account is not working, but one has to start some place.
    First try Starting up in Safe Mode. Log in with the original user account, the restart the computer normally and log into the original user account. Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Launch Disk Utility. Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel and First Aid in the main panel. Click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU.
    Go to System Prefs > Accounts and recheck the new account, especially the login options. If everything seems OK quit System Preferences and restart. Try logging into the new accounts. If you have problems force shut down and Start up in Safe Mode again.
    It may be easiest to just delete the new account and start over, as you do not yet have any data in it. However, if you want to continue to trouble shoot we can try it for a while.
    Please post back with a report of your experience and any questions or comments you may have.
    Good luck.

  • Can't add a new audio track without any settings

    Can anyone tell me were faced with the same problem. Doing audio post production in Logic Pro X, the latest version, the project is big, At some stage the work I was faced with the fact that you can't add a new audio track without any settings, no matter what inserts I track with duplicate settings of one of the tracks and it begins to sound with this track. I don't add a new audio track with duplicate settings. I add a new one, and I still opens the track with some sort of settings. What is it? This is a glitch or I'm somewhere that we have not considered? Duplicates the configuration of one of the tracks collected in group 1, which I did for editing convenience. Duplicates and also automation and if the new track am I doing something then this machine is transferred to the existing track from this group.

    Everything works in full 'Logic Pro X' mode. It's just a glitch in my project. The problem while you decide this: I insert a new track and it reset and set the output.

    Just want to avoild spending hours migrating everything across....

    Yes, I can read but just can't write DVD's. I get:
    This disc can’t be verified and might be unreliable. Try again using a new blank disc (error code 0x80020063).
    Originally I thought it was the old Moutain Lion DVD drive issue (but have had the drive recently replaced by Apple), so I tried creating a new account, which worked.
    In the old account I have reset SMU, Pram... but no change.

  • How can i create a new user with only read rights ?

    How can i create a new user with only read rights ?

    You are asking about a Database User I hope.
    You can look into the Oracle 8i Documentation and find various privillages listed.
    In particular, you may find:
    Chapter 27 Privileges, Roles, and Security Policies
    an intresting chapter.
    You may want to do this with the various tools included with 8i - including the
    Oracle DBA Studio - expand the Security node and you can create USERS and ROLES.
    Or use SQL*Plus. To create a
    user / password named John / Smith, you would login to SQL*Plus as System/manager (or other) and type in:
    Create user John identified by Smith;
    Grant CONNECT to John;
    Grant SELECT ANY TABLE to John;
    commit;
    There is much more you can do
    depending on your needs.
    Please read the documentation.

  • How can I add a new message(custom text message) to the holiday approval em

    How can I add a new message(custom text message) to the holiday approval email-notification sent to the manager?
    TIA

    The answer is 'not very easily', unless the information you want to display is the employee's leave balances. In 12.1.3 Oracle have delivered functionality that allows you to include the leave balances in the approval notifications out-the-box, ie, without customization.
    For any other information you're probably going to have to customize the standard delivered HRSSA workflow. Within this workflow, the Leave of Absence functionality uses the Notify Approver (Embedded) (HR_APPROVER_NTF) notification. The body of this notification is set to the Notify Approver (Embedded) (HR_NTF_EMBEDDED_REGION) attribute. This in turn defaults to:
    JSP:/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?OAFunc=-&HR_EMBEDDED_REGION-&NtfId=-&#NID-
    So essentially you can change the HR_APPROVER_NTF notification. The problem with changing this notification is that it's generic - it's used for all SSHR functions and not just Leave of Absence. That means you have to make other, more substantial, customizations to the workflow to ensure the changes you make only applies to LOA.
    The other option is to personalize the review page (ie, the region referenced in &HR_EMBEDDED_REGION) to include whatever messages you want. But that means they'll appear on the Review page and all LOA approval notifications and that might not be what you want.
    It's usually better to live with what Oracle deliver and find an alternative solution! What's the content of the message you want to include?
