Can't allocate any users to use iCal Server

Have successfully set up 10.6.1 server. DNS and Open Directory both OK. iCal service is running on default port 8008 and is using the default server dns name.
The problem we're having is that in Workgroup Manager we cannot allocate a user to use iCal. Under the Advanced settings tab for a user where you enable calendaring for the user the pull down menu only shows "No calendar host selected", the configured iCal server is not displayed.
This has occurred on three separate fresh installs on three separate boxes.
Any ideas appreciated!

That doesn't really make any sense. I can connect iCal 10.5.x clients to the iCal 10.6 test server just fine and they pulled down test data. I plugged in account details and connected to the users iCal server calendar account.
Perhaps you misunderstood them? The guy I spoke with told me that you manage almost all calendar data on the wiki/mypage tool now and not in workgroup manager. Users can access their calendar on mypage, groups manage their calendars via the wiki. It may not be ideal (I would have preferred using workgroup manager for this stuff) but it seems to work. You can also manage delegation to your calendar via the iCal client. If something specific for you isn't working, it'd probably be better to open a thread on these forums and post details if a specific feature isn't working so people can help you.
The only feature I really find lacking with this web method of management is that you can't really have a user without that user having a calendar (and having access to that calendar). The SACL only prevents them from connecting via iCal client but they can still connect via the mypage tool.
Also, 10.6 is a new server version and 10.5 had many of these same issues (perhaps more). Either you have this on a test server and you wait it out and just report fixes to Apple or you jumped the gun and installed it on a production server at which point you accepted the risk of a new server OS. Doing so on client systems is one thing (they're easily rolled back), servers is a completely different matter and should be handled with care. Obviously 10.5.x server matured enough for you to want to use it so 10.6 likely will as well so just bide your time on a test server and try to improve the release by reporting bugs or roll back to 10.5 and continue to use it until you're ready to jump to 10.6.
In short, as of now, the "enable calendaring on this host" has nothing to do with whether a user can access iCal services on a 10.6.1 host. If you create a user in workgroup manager, the current behavior is that they now have at a bare minimum, a web calendar. If you enable the SACL for iCal, I believe you can limit access via the iCal client but they'd still have web access. If this behavior is poor (I believe it is and would prefer more fine grained control) then make sure and report it.

Can I run a User Query using SDK?

Hi I am new to SDK development.
Can I run a user query using SDK? what I am after is, when the user clicks a button on my screen, I want to run the user query already in the system.
If this can be done, does anyone know how to do this? I have not been able to find a way of doing this so far. appreciate any help here.
Thanks,
Indika.

Hi,
I have an additional question to this thread. Does anyone know a way how to run an user query, and how to pass some parameters to it, so the user doesn't have to write them down manually?
For example, I add a button on a Bussines partner form and when this button is clicked, I want a query to be started with parameter %1 = businnes partner's code...
Is there some way how can I do this?
Thanks

Hi,
I am using mobile internet from my iphone 3g.Can we have any option to use internet on computer using my iphone

you can't bypass activation. Your phone needs to be activated for any of the functions to work.
This problem happens often to phones previously jailbroken. Is this the case?

How to use iCal Server with clients?

Ok, so since I can't find this anywhere... How do I use iCal Server with other desktop clients? I've selected the user, enabled calendaring, the user can authenticate in web-based group calendars. But then I'm stuck.
How do I give them their own calendar?
In iCal, I go to Accounts and try and enter the info but it fails every time. I tried the dns name like so: "calendar.example.edu" but it generates an error. But the user can log in to the web calendar for groups. Where is the users individual calendar located?
The help menu ignores that field as if it's not needed, but then it fails because the calendar doesn't know where the server is. The clients can't all be OD bound, so this has to work outside of Open Directory. According to Apple other CalDAV clients can connect too. How? Computers just don't "connect" on their own.
Anyone know the answer?

I was getting the same error when I tried to subscribe to a calendar using:
Subscribe to: http://myserver.example.com:8008/
principals/users/usershortname
I found that if I added a trailing slash to the URL then it would work :
Subscribe to: http://myserver.example.com:8008/
principals/users/usershortname/
(the way I found this was to navigate via the web browser to http://myserver.example.com:8008 then authenticate as a user, then navigating through to http://myserver.example.com:8008/principals/users/ where you can see all the user names all with a trailing slash after them)
hope this helps

How can I retrive current user information in Content Server's presetation template?

We need to determine current user is the item's created user or not, so we want to know how to do this?
we can use <pcs:if expr="'Luke' == createdBy">....,but the 'Luke' is static string,
so, how can I retirve current user name in Content Server's presetation tempalte?

I don't know that this is possible in a direct fashion. (and, btw - thank you for asking this question. I realized we'll eventually need exactly the same thing so looking at this helps me as well :).
I'm quoting dev support from another posting on making community comparisons dynamic:
"This won't work because the pcs: tags are evaluated on the Content Server during the publish operation, resulting in a static HTML file that still contains the raw pt: tags. This same HTML file will be displayed in all of your communities. The pt: tags are evaluated on the portal server right before it returns content to the user, this allows the single HTML file to show a different name in each community. "
So the gist of things is that content server acts dynamic to you and I through the editing UI, but is really publishing static content. The values at run-time are not directly available to the PCS operators because...well...the PCS stuff is already done. It produced the static HTML showing up in the portlet.
There appear to be two immediate options:
Use the transformer tags to publish the user's name at run-time. Have the PCS and Transformer tags write their values into javascript strings and then compare this client-side. My response: "meh" Not for the purist, but I'm so far down the non-purist path at this point it just doesn't matter any more to me. Simple and to the point, but has known risks. Probably the easiest way to go.Publish your page as ASPX or JSP and then use the EDK server-side to manage the comparisons. Definitely more server-centric, but does require you do a quick bit of content server configuration. Just set the publishing target for the portlet to a directory on a web server and then set the publishing file extension to .ASPX or .JSP. I've done this with ASP and it works nicely. :)Not entirely the answer you or I were looking for, but I think it makes sense.
The PT transformer tags you'll want if you go with option (1) are:
Get the user's full name
<pt:userinfo xmlns:pt="http://www.plumtree.com/xmlschemas/ptui/" name="FullName" />
Get a custom user setting "myUserSetting"
<pt:userSetting name="myUserSetting" xmlns:pt="http://www.plumtree.com/xmlschemas/ptui/" />
Plumtree - am I off base on this one?
Thanks,

Can't Log Any Users Onto My Domain Except the Administrator Getting The Following Error "The user profile service failed the logon"

Hi All,
I am currently completing a project for college which involves the creation of a domain, OU's, GPO's etc within a virtual environment.
I am using Windows Server 2008 Enterprise running this on VMware however after having completed and tested all my GPO's now none of my users are able to log on to the domain and keep getting the following error message "The user profile service failed
the logon" "User profile cannot be loaded".
I have tried to a lot of different options prior to posting which include:
Creating a new user account/s in case the previous user policies were corrupt the same error message is shown.
I also configured my DC to allow users to log onto the DC in case this was a network issue but the same error still exists.
My Administrator account always logs onto the DC without fail and applies all the GPO's as it should.
I have rebuilt my servers twice now at this stage and the same problems keep happening at first it was just confined to users within a single OU but now is Domain wide any suggestions on what I can do.
Thanks,
John

John,
Since this is a project, you may have experimented with various settings in multiple Group Policies, so I would recommend you run the Group Policy Modelling Wizard, as it will show you all the GP settings down to a specific user on a specific computer, plus
tell you which Group Policy sets and which settings, and thereby perhaps find where the problem occurs.
Please mark as answer or vote
as helpful when
it applies. Thanks!

Can't avoid end user license, using acrobat.jar

Hi everybody!
I want to display a pdf from my Swing application, so I've decided to use Adobe Acrobat Viewer (acrobat.jar). But, when I run SampleReader example, first it appears the Adobe Acrobat Viewer's End User License Agreement, before the viewer itself.
What can I do to avoid the license agreement? Can I get any license anywhere? Help me please!
Thanks!!

I think Adobe have made their software behave this way on purpose, because they want it to be that way. I don't think this has anything to do with Swing.
Also you don't need to "get any license anywhere". The whole point of an EULA splash screen is that when you click "I Accept" or whatever, that is when you get the license.
Cheers,
Matt.

How can I allow network users to use File Sharing on 10.8 Server?

I am in the process of setting up a new OS X 10.8 Server. I have exported/imported the network users from my previous OS X 10.6.8 Server using Workspace Manager. I have re-entered the passwords of the users. I have existing clients running (stil logged in).
I have set up the File Sharing service in Server.app. I have several mount points. I have made the Users mount point available for home directories over AFP.
Now, the system administrator can connect to the server and get access to the file shares. So the basic file sharing system works.
Also: the users on a client can get there password verified (e.g. when unlocking screen protection) by the server. It is just AFP they can't get access to, while the system administrator account (OD /Local on the server) can be used. So, the password in the server is OK too. It seems to be a matter of privileges.
But no network user (OD user in directory /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 on the server) can get access. Where can I give network users privileges for File Sharing on the server?
I did try to add either the "Open Directory Users" group or a specific user that was imported into com.apple.access_afp. If I do that, there is partial success. I can connect to the server from the client with a user account other than system administrator from the server (but connecting is slow). But Mobile Home Sync does not work:

Hi Gerben,
Try creating a brand new user, that's not imported and see if that works. Every user/group has a little gear in the Server.app/Users or Groups which allows specific access to specific services, perhaps filesharing is off in that section?
Is your DNS setup properly? Can you verify that clients can see the FQDN of your server?
After setting up the Users folder for mobilehomes, did you check whether the group and the separate users have access to filesharing? I am able to select the correct homefolder /Users and restrict the homefolder size.
Goodluck!

Can't Install any CS6 Apps using Application Manager

Hi,
I have a Mac Mini (mid July 2011) running OSX Lion (10.7.4) and a new Creative Cloud subscription but I'm having real problems when I try to install any creative suite application using Adobe Application Manager. AAM downloads the app and tries to install it but the result is always the same...
The installation image mounts on the desktop, AAM says 'Installing' then the installation image disappears from the desktop and AAM gives the message 'Installation Failed'. The error report is always the same for every app. Here is an example from trying to install Adobe Acrobat X Pro:
Exit Code: 7
Please see specific errors and warnings below for troubleshooting. For example, ERROR: DW050 ...
-------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
- 0 fatal error(s), 4 error(s), 0 warning(s)
ERROR: DW050: The following payload errors were found during install:

ERROR: DW050: - Acrobat Professional: Install failed
ERROR: DW050: - Suite Shared Configuration CS6: Skipped due to driver payload failure
ERROR: DW050: - Acrobat X Pro : Skipped due to driver payload failure
I get the same type of error for any app that I try to install.
It's driving me crazy. I also have a MacBook (early 2009) running Snow Leopard and I have no problems installing apps from Creative Cloud onto that machine. I just can't get anything to install on the Mac Mini - I've tried running the Creative Suite Cleaning Tool but this didn't help.
I'm using AAM Version 6.2.77
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Many thanks,
John.

Jeff, many thanks for your reply. Unfortunately even trying to install one of the trial versions (Photoshop CS6 for example) didn't work as this relied on the Adobe Download Manager which just kept causing my machine to freeze.
I tried various things including uninstalling and re-installing various bits and pieces like the download manager, Adobe AIR, FlashPlayer, etc. But nothing would work.
In the end I had to resort to a completey clean install of my operating system which has now resolved the issue (although I still had a few teething troubles with the AAM).
Hopefully the problem won't re-appear.
Thanks,
John.

Can't add any users while logged in as the ADMIN

Back in my post, http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5314598#5314598 , I was stuck in a broken auto login, unable to get past the solid blue screen. I was able to fix that but now I can not add any new users to the accounts pane. Logged in as the ADMIN, I click on the + and nothing happens. I can not add anymore accounts. What can I do to solve this?

It is probably some residual effect from your single user mode actions detailed in your previous post.
Run *Repair Permissions* from Disk Utility to see if that is the cause.
If that doesn't fix it, try deleting the com.apple.loginwindow.plist from your admin account's Library/Preferences folder.
There is also the same file in
HD/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist
but I am not sure about the consequences of deleting that, as I've never done it.
Whichever you delete, log out and log back in again to re-create them.

Multiple users working using the server from laptops

Hello everyone.
We have a Mac Mini Server in the house, and a couple of Mac laptops.
I know that using screen sharing I can control the server from a laptop. However, when doing this whoever is physically sitting at the server will see their mouse possessed and not be able to do their own thing on the server.
Given the fact that we have multiple users, would it be possible to have multiple people use their laptops to view the desktop of the server as they work on it, while logged in to their own individual user accounts, and control the server independently through those accounts?
Not sure if that description was clear or not, but I think you'll get my gist. Basically I want to use the laptops as thin clients to work using the server. Also key is that multiple people be able to do this at the same time.
Thanks for any suggestions!

The Mac OS X graphical interface is a single-seat design. One Mac, one seat.
There is no analog to Microsoft Windows Terminal Services, nor to multiple sessions on Windows XP Pro or analogous, nor multi-seat X Windows, nor to Thin Clients, with Mac OS X nor Mac OS X Server, short of the add-on package Aqua Connect or analogous.
One of the usual mechanisms for controlling a Mac OS X Server is via the Server Admin tools. These are independent.
Command-level management operations are also available via ssh and analogous. You can ssh into the server and manage many of the aspects of Mac OS X client and Mac OS X Server from the command line. These are fully independent sessions.
Typical Mac OS X Server doesn't require all that much management, and it's probably not the best to have an interactive user operating on a server box regardless. This because servers typically support multiple users, so outages and reboots and operational errors and crashes will effect more than just the user in the seat at the server.

Can't log new user onto Mac Mini Server

I can't log a new user into Mac Mini server. Have added the user to the Workgroup Manager, and am now trying to use the password created there for log-in on user computer. Any advice?

Do you have Server Access Control Lists (SACLs) configured? If so, you will need to add this new user to the appropriate SACLs before it can connect. As an example, when I create new users, I need to add them to the File Sharing SACL or they never see any available shares on the server.

How can I move the user home folder from server to the mac

I have a mac mini which i use for OpenDirectory, DNS and email. It is not a big installation it is for my wife and I.
My wife logs in using an network account, and the user folder is saved on the mac mini. This gives me a few problems.
a. If the server is upated and restarted, my wife has to relogin, or sometimes reboot the imac to get acces to the email etc.
b. Having the home folder on a mac mini is causing the imac to be very slow
c. Itunes can't synchronize to her Iphone. Connecint it gives her a message that synchronization has been turned off, and if i try to turn it on I get an error message saying somthing about shared access to the user folder.
I do not use a network account and have none of these problems.
So I have decided to try to put her user folder on the imac instead of on the server..
But how do I do that?
I still wan't her to use the network user account, but the user folder should be on her imac.
Kind Regards
Henrik

I do not think you can move migration assistant for this situation.
The mac mini is a osx snow leopard server, running openDirectory, DNS and E-mail, so its not like she is logging into the server.
Her imac is bound to the OpenDirectory and she uses an openDirectory network user account to log in on her imac.
But the user folder is saved on the server, which is very nice if you have a bigger server with faster disks, and more mac clients to log into.
But in this situation she only uses her imac, and the performance of having the user folder on the server is not good enough, as well as the other problems I have with itunes sync etc.
So I do not think it's a job for the migration assistant.

Should I use iCal server

Hi.
I'm considering moving to Leopard server from Panther server, for the sole reason of getting iCal server. This is a killer app. for me, what we use at the moment for group calendaring is pretty poor and I am excited about how much better life would be for our small business (10 users) with this.
But I am nervous - iCal server is version 1, and there are not a lot of people using it.
Is it really up to production use right now? How are you all getting on with it?
I'd be interested to hear how people out there are getting on with it, and if it does what it says on the tin.
TIA
