Cannot log in to OSX Server using ARD

I am struggling with a problem that I cannot figure out. I posted this on the ARD discussion group and did not get a reply.
I use ARD, latest version, all updates, to remotely control about 9 machines across two locations that are linked by a pair of NetGear FVS124G routers connected by fulltime VPN. All of the Macs are running 10.5.4, all have the latest updates across the board, as do the single OSX servers in each location both of which are running OSX 10.5.4 server with current updates.
I can access all of the workstations using ARD without difficulty, both locally and across the VPN.
The servers will not authenticate, returning the message, "Authentication failed to ....... Server"
The message seems straightforward enough, its cause more obscure, and I get the same message on each of the two servers.
The login I am attempting to use in ARD is an administrator account, sharing on the servers is set to allow full access in the sharing setting in System Preferences in both servers, and I have no trouble using either the server preferences or server admin tools to control the two servers.
It is just that ARD won't allow the login that works with either local login or the server tools. I am able to login to each server with SSH without difficulty.
In checking the two servers, I am surprised to see them both listed in ARD info page as OSX 10.4.11 clients (which they clearly are not), whereas they are both listed (accurately) as running the current ARD client.
I suspect something fairly simple in my configuration of the two servers that I am overlooking since I can log into all the OSX workstations at either location from ARD at either location.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your response. As I think I understand what you are saying, you do not use the "all users" setting for remote access in the server settings, and then allow ARD to provide remote control.
I have used the all users setting for ARD, and will try changing this on the servers. The other settings are already as you suggest.
Thanks and will see if this works....

Cannot log on to exchange server

I have Torch 9800 and had no problem with synchronizing it with my calendar, address book and notes. Then I updated the Desktop Manager to the newest one and after that I´m getting this message:
"Cannot log on to Exchange Server. Please check server access or provide a valid password"
I´m not using an Exchange Server and as I said before it only occurred after upgrading the Desktop Manager.
I would appreciate if someone could help me and provide me with a step by step instruction as I´m not the best one in computers :-)
The Enterprise Account Settings are set to NONE.
Thanks,
A Jonsson
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I found this on another website and it did the magic :-)
SOLUTION: Assuming you have the latest Desktop Manager installed from BB, with both BB & OL 2010 closed
1.Open Control Panel and click Mail
2.When the window pops up, click on Show Profiles
3.Select your profile and click the Copy button. Name the copy whatever you want - we won't be keeping it around long.
4.Start Desktop Manager and connect your BB.
5.Start configuring your Organizer, but choose the copy profile for any item. Click OK when DS asks about remapping folders.
6.After configuring any Outlook component, click OK until you get back to your main DS window. At this point, you should not get the previous error message.
7.Go back into DS and configure all your Outlook components with your original profile. You will get the folder remapping message again - just click OK.
8.When you're done, click OK until you're back at the main DS window. You shouldn't get any error messages at this point.
9.From Control Panel, go back in to Mail and delete the duplicate profile you previously created.

ARD Reporting failing and causing thousands of entries in my system.log for my OSX Server clients

I have a small four system network - all running latest version of Mavericks with latest (3.7.1 ARD)
1) OSX Server running File Sharing, DNS, OpenDirectory, Web
2) OSX Server running DNS (secondary), OpenDirectory (secondary)
3) OSX Server - installed but not running any services
4) OSX Client
When using ARD from any of the systems, any attempt to generage an ARD report targeting system #1 or #2 - the ARD report task stops at "Collecting Report Data" and I start seeing: sysinfocachegen[10506]: FSPathMakeRef error = -43 in the system.log that I'm targeting. Currently over 11000 entries in my last log file (rolled over) and am over 8000 already in the log file after my last test.
If I target systems 3 or 4, reporting works fine.
Any ideas what is going on here?

I'm getting this error too.
20/5/2014 4:07:56.192 pm sysinfocachegen[27828]: FSPathMakeRef error = -43

etc
My OS is 10.9.3, ARD is 3.7.2 (372A19)
I'm not trying to collect any report data as far as I know.
I have a few ARD windows open.

Cannot connect to OS X Server via ARD after 10.6.4 Update

Hi there
Just updated my server from 10.6.3 to 10.6.4. Everything is still fine - except the fact that my Remote Management seems to be dead now...
"Remote Management" is definitely on. But on my Client(s), the server is not recognized and its status is either "ARD not activated" or not even visible (just the black icon with the server's IP; but without its hostname). But DNS is fine...
I can use Server Admin and SSH as usual. Even restarted the agent with "sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -restart -agent" which reported back that it has restarted.
But still no signs of my server in ARD. So it seems that VNC crashed on the server?!
Did not find any hints in the log files. Firewall is off by the way.
All the best and thanks
Goofy

I started having this exact same problem on my sever with the update to 10.6.4 Server, in that ARD access did not work at all. I'd get a "connection failed" message every time I tried to connect.
Kickstart did not solve the problem.
Finally, I gave up and decided to wait for 10.6.5 Server in hopes that the problem would go away after THAT update.
I have now updated to 10.6.5 Server, and no dice.
ARD still doesn't work.
Kickstart still doesn't help.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Rusty

No Control of OSX Server with ARD

Hello everybody,
I´m new to Mac OSX Server and would appreciate a little help. I use ARD on my G5 to control the other systems in my network. A few days ago, I added a Mac OSX Server to the network..
I activated Remote Desktop on the Server, still in ARD I receive a Access denied.
Any Help would be greatly appreciated . Thanks in advance.

Hey, what was the problem??
I have a similar one!

Trying to log into a RDS server using cached credentials

I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 with Remote Desktop Services installed and it is a member server in my domain.   As a test, I have cut the network connection between the RDS server and the domain controller.   I can log into the
RDS server at the console with my cached domain account, but I can't RDP into the server with my cached domain accout.   It is telling me the specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.   Does RDS sessions not
use cached credentials ?    I have set the Group Policy Option: Interactive logon: Number of previous logons to cache (in case domain controller is not available) to 30.   That didn't seem to make any difference. Thanks for any
help with this problem.

Hi,
By default Network Level Authentication (NLA) will be used for RDP connections, and this requires the domain controller to be available. If you needed to you could disable the requirement to use NLA in the collection properties and set a custom rdp
property so that clients would not attempt to use NLA when they connect. The downside of this approach is clients will never use NLA when connecting and instead will see a server-side log on screen, and may get multiple prompts for credentials.
It is preferred to use NLA where possible, which in most cases it is since modern clients support it.

Can I install Lion Server using ARD?

I've got a 2008 xserve I'd like to update to Lion Server (from 10.6.8 server). Can I successfully install it using ARD or is it going to hang at some point without ARD access waiting for some kind of input to proceed with the installation?
Thanks
Eric

Yes. You need to buy Leon and Server via AppStore. Think twice before click [buy app]... read posts on this group.

Cannot log into Business Process Workspace using Custom Authenticator

Hello,
I have set-up a SQLAuthenticator on my WL10.3.5 and defined a number of users which can successfully login to console and em.
My problem is that these users are not able to login to Oracle BP workspace.
Note 1: Control flags are all set to sufficient (In addition to DefaultAuthenticator I have only the custom SQLAuthenticator in providers list).
Note 2: Ordering of Authenticators is: SQLAuthenticators, DefaultAuthenticator
Note 2: user 'weblogic' can login to workspace without any problem.
Any help would greatly be appreciated as this problem has taken more than a week of my time.
Regards
Edited by: user3106291 on Feb 23, 2013 4:27 AM

Hi
1. I hope workspace you are refering is: http://soahost:soaport/bpm/workspace.
2. User "weblogic" can login. And I hope he can see adminstrator link on top right hand corner etc.
3. Others Users say "userxyz" CANNOT login. NOW what do you mean with this. What Error do they get.
a) Does it say invalid username/password. If so, check the user account and verify the details.
b) Do they login, BUT do NOT see any link on Left Side to initiate a new instance. If so, is this User in the Role of Initiator. See below notes
NOW, what application is Deployed and what exactly are you trying to test
1. For any BPM Application, you will have a Start Node and End Node. Usually there will be a first Human Task (generally but not always) who can Instantiate or create a new prrocess Instance. And there are Swimlanes where we put all Tasks.
2. Then we map these Swimlanes to bunch of Users or AD Groups or Roles etc etc. Quick test is, create some users in Default Authenticator itself like weblogic1, weblogic2, weblogic3 etc and map these Users to these Roles.
3. If you have EXTERNAL Authenticator, that is also fine. This is how most of the times. Within JDeveloper itself, for Each Role you can Map users or groups from this External Authenticator. this means your application should be deployed and SOA Server is Up and Running. Only theny you can fetch the list of users and groups. Generally I do NOT recommend this. Do not do any mapping at JDeveloper side.
4. Instead, after you Deploy your application say to bpmDomain1. Go to EM Console and there under application BPMProcessRoles, map the application roles to each User or AD Group from your SQL Authenticator. See docs for detailed steps.
In EM Console, if you do NOT see your Swimlanes or Roles thats ok. You should see them by default after deployment. If not, create manually Each Role and name should Match exactly with what you gave in JDeveloper BPM Application. Find it under Organization.xml file under your soa project folder. And for each Role map users or ad groups. Also, Initiator Role should have a Human Task of type like Initiator.
So have you done anyof the above things. But most important, what Errors or Exceptions are you facing. Look at the log files and specially the output file or log where you start your soa server.
Thanks

Cannot ping Cisco C series server using direct connect to UCSM

We have connected 2 Cisco C series servers (VIC 1225 Cards) with direct connect to Fabric Interconnects and managed via UCSM but cannot get network working.
Service profiles have been created and pushed with only 1 VLAN and the default VLAN as native but cannot communicate with IP address configured. Mac address is learnt at the Nexus 5K northbound switches. Seems to be a VLAN tagging issue somewhere

We do not use the CIMC as the server is all managed from UCSM and the CIMC has to be set to default for this mode
Sorry I was not clear; I mean of course that even with UCSM, your C-series server will get an IP address for CIMC, which is used if you open a KVM session. You should be able to ping this IP address.

I have just restored my pavilion DV6 back to factory and cannot log onto my email server?

DV6 Product XE062EA#ABU
Just tried reinstalling back to factory for my wife and all went well except no email client will work, tried , live mail, outlook 2007, trial outlook 2010 and thunderbird with no success, tried imap and pop again with no success. tried logging onto my known good email account.
Tried removing the pre installed norton av again no luck, things were getting a bit flakey after all of the install/uninstalls so restored it one more time but this time only installed windows live mail and the pre installed office starter edition and still cant log on to an email server
Unable to send or receive messages for the Kilmartin (sophie) account. The connection to the server has failed.
Server: 'mail.kilmartin.it'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E

Can anybody shed any light? its as if the restore image isnt working correctly as it used to work great on the original build?
Cheers

Just have to give it some time. The activation and verification servers are all slammed right now 'cause of all the people trying to update at the same time. Give it a couple hours (or overnight if you can wait) and it should sort itself out.

I cannot log into the oracle account using GNOME interface

I'm receiving the following message when trying to log into the oracle OS account with the GNOME interface turned on:

Some searching on the internet indicated that the .Xauthority file was the problem.
I noticed that there was no .Xauthority file in the /home/oracle directory. I logged into the oracle OS account via a terminal session and issued the command mkxauth -c. This created an .Xauthority file in my /home/oracle directory. The file has the following permissions which look like they match other hosts we have the Oracle Database running on:
-rw------- 1 oracle oinstall 265 2011-03-08 13:32 /home/oracle/.Xauthority
Any heal is greatly appreciated.
JS

Thanks for the replies. I obviously had something screwed up in my environment in terms of file permissions.
I decided that since I am new to Oracle VM and management of the Oracle Enterprise Linux VM templates, and that this was a new instance of the OEL5 template installation, I would start over. So I unzipped the OEL5 template, copied over my vm.cfg file which configures the template instance and brought up a new copy of the OEL5 VM instance. I then logged into it as root, changed the oracle account password and started the GNOME interface with telinit 5 command.
I was then able to log in successfully to the oracle account via the GNOME interface.
Thanks for the replies.

PCs on Mac OSX Server use what to access Apple Mail?

Sorry for this simplistic question, but I couldn't find an answer in searching the forums.
We are considering installing Snow Leopard Server Mini for our small office. We are roughly half and half Macs and PCs, but very heavy now with iPhones and iPads. We are using Outlook on the Macs and PCs and on some of the iPads and iPhones as well. Outlook is set to access and download from an externally hosted email server.
I would like to eliminate Outlook and get everyone using Apple services on the back end - Apple Mail, iCal, Messages, etc. (This will be especially useful when Mountain Lion Mac and Server rolls out).
The question is, can a PC user access these services to replace Outlook in some native, non-Outlook PC way? Or is Outlook the best solution, since they're familiar with it and provided I can solve the technical issues? I would think that for Mail, I would point Outlook to our internal mail services, instead of the external one we're using now. But what about calendar? What about messaging?
In short how best can a PC be pointed to the OS X-provided services that the Mac users will be using?
Thank you for any help...

You really can't do this with Apple's server groupware. They are designed to work with Apple products almost exclusively. While mail supports standards like IMAP and POP, iCal server is CalDAV and address book is CardDAV. These are not supported natively in Outlook. Look here http://caldav.calconnect.org/implementations/clients.html for client options but you will likely not find much that will do what you are looking for. Or your client changes will be so drastic that your users will hate you.
If you are adamant on replacing Outlook, research Kerio. But realize that you are going from a hosted solution that is presumably redundant to an internal solution hosted on Apple hardware that is as far from redundant as can be. If you have regulatory or compliance issues that require self-hosting, then Kerio is the way to go as it will work on both platforms and emulates Exchange.
And by the way, Exchange support for OS X and iOS is really pretty good. There is nothing wrong with Exchange, except the price.

Logging onto my Admin Account using ARD

I support 100 iMacs, I'd like to log into my Admin account remotely using Remote Deskop, how can I do this using Automator / Applescript on multiple machines automatically

Hi
Select all the computers you're interested in. Click on the UNIX icon. Copy and paste this into the window:
osascript <<EOF
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "the local administrator's shortname"
keystroke tab
delay 0.5
keystroke "the local administrator's password"
delay 0.5
keystroke return
end tell
EOF
You may have to add an extra "keystroke return" before the final "end tell". Send the command as root. If the insertion point is not in the name field on the login window it won't work. This can happen sometimes because someone (a passing student for example) has decided to click into the password field. If caps lock has been enabled, it won't work either.
A way around this is to simply restart all the workstations. This will 'reset' the login window to its defaut behaviour.
I'm surprised you did not find anything regarding this when searching the Forum? It's a question that's been asked many times before.
HTH?
