Cannot put users to groups on 10.7.3 Lion Server

In workgroupmanager I am able to put users to groups. In Server-app I see that user belongs to groups, but in groups there are no users - I cannot add users to groups?

I have the same issue and contact Apple, but I haven't heard back from them in a week. I'm starting to think it's a bug. Please give'em a ring so they know it's not just me.

Cannot add user to group eventhough i have full access

i cannot add users to groups in subsite even i am in the owners group of the subsite

Check the settings of the group itself. By default the only person who can add users to a group is the person who created the group. I normally change the group settings so the group is owned by the Site collection root site owners group. That
way any of those users can modify the membership of the group.

Cannot open Office 2004 documents with Office 2011 on Lion Server

I am in the process of moving our documents from a Tiger server to Lion server. My users who are using Office 2004 are having no issues, but the users with Office 2011 cannot open any documents with the .doc extension. I have tried logging on using afp and smb and I get different error messages but no access. When logging on as smb if I try to double-click I get the file type blocked message. If I go to File/Open I get the message Word cannot open this document. The file be in use, etc. There are no special characters in the file name. If I try to open a docx document then no problem. The same problem occurs with xls versus xlsx documents. Does anyone know if there is something different I should be doing. Permissions are set for full access. We have a mix of users with both versions of Office and over 90% of the file server are .doc or .xls documents. I cannot fully implement until I get this resolved.

I am having the same problem with UCM 10gr3. Our desktop engineers are doing an enterprise upgrade of MS Office to 2010 and this issue just surfaced. Trish, how do your users authenticate to Beehive? We are using a cusom connector using our AD.

ICloud for pages app not working on network users having home folder on Mac Mini Lion server

Does anyone know how to make iCloud for pages work on network users having home folder on server, having home folder on local Client iCloud for Pages works fine but when home folder is on Server iCloud for Pages app does not work. My Clients are Running Mountain Lion 10.8.2, my Server is a Mac Mini Lion Server.

Hi Tim,
No fix yet, my home folders reside on a thunderbolt external hard drive, I also tested having home folders on default server HD and no changes, I called Apple Support a while ago, they replicated the issue, it just does not work on network users, they did not say when will it be fix.
The version of Pages I am using is from the Apple Store.

Cannot add Users to Groups

Hi there,
I cannot add any users to any groups in the last week. This occurs only with the Server app. In Workgroup Manager I can, but the group membership do not appear when I open the Server app. I have tried to do this through the individual user page or through the group page. Each time I get the following message "Operation is not supported by the directory node."
Suggestions?
Thanks
Mitch

Small correction. Also cannot add group in Workgroup Manager. The error is "This action failed because an Open Directory plugin has not implemented that functionality yet."

Want to delete an account but user does not appear in User and Groups after upgrading to Mountain Lion

OSX 10.8
2.7 Ghz Intel Core i5

User is provisioned as Individual, not as Group. We validated the Groups and Ensure "no apostrophe" is present. Any suggestions? Created the Ticket with Oracle Support too... but no luck :(
Any help in regard is greatly Appreciated.

Subject area security validating users and groups from external table

Hi all.
I don't have practice to put question here, but there is one problem, that seems don't work correctly in OBIEE.
I'm trying to put users in groups within external table and this works fine.
I put security on the subject area level like this:
SA1 -> GroupA allow, Everyone not allow
SA2 -> GroupB allow, Everyone not allow
External table:
User----------Group
A---------GroupA;GroupB
B---------GroupB
Users A, B and GroupA, GroupB exists in the RPD, but I didn't put users inside them, I want this from table.
From the init block, external table I'm taking users and join them in the group. Same name users and groups are also in the presentation service.
When i connect with user A i don't see any subject area, when go to My Account i see in Group Membership/GroupA and GroupB, so it's readed from the external table.
Why in this case the subject area permission is not working?
It works if I explicitly put users in groups, in the RPD.
I have read this blog entry http://kpipartners.blogspot.com/2009/07/groups-webgroups-and-delivers.html and it is said that this works, but I'm interested how.
What should we have in the presentation part, administration, Manage Privileges -> Access within Oracle BI Answers option for those two subject area?
This doesn't work or something is missing:

What should we have in the presentation part, administration, Manage Privileges -> Access within Oracle BI Answers option for those two subject area?Yes, you should remove Everyone and add the relevant groups to each Subject Area. You don't need to set privileges in the RPD, in fact that's probably why it doesn't work for you. Leave your RPD Presentation Catalog as "Everyone" = Read as you will controlling access from the Presentation Services and it should work.

How to reset users and groups in Server.app?

Recently after change settings in the Server.app (like turn off/on open directory, delete/add certificates), I got a strange problem:
In the users and groups list, it display all local users and groups (looks like system users and groups, about 100 users and groups, but this is a new server)
I tried reset the server.app by following
howto reinstall/reinitialize os x server
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT200271?viewlocale=en_US
These users and groups still showing there.
Have you seen this before and how can I completely reset the server.app to factory default so that I can start over the set up?

In theory, that should restore the users. You can do some surgery if you are really brave. But the reinstall generally should be enough.
These accounts are in the DSLocal data store. Basically, this is very similar to the any OS X machine. Apple keeps a default copy of the Local Database here:
/System/Library/DirectoryServices/DefaultLocalDB/Default
Should you need to reset a machine to the default local database, you can remove the current database (/var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default) and then copy the default one to the same location. I would not go this far unless the reinstall was unsuccessful.
To check, you can run this command:
dscl . list /Users
That will list all the Users in the local DB. To get a count, pipe to wc
dscl . list /Users | wc -l
On a Server that I just jumped on, I see 79 users and 111 groups (dscl . list /Groups | wc -l) But this is a system will man SACL groups so I likely have more than the default.
Hope this continues to help. Probably more info that you want.

Mac OSX Lion Server Network User Login Issue

We have in the office a server running Mac OSX Lion, and several network users who've all been running happily for quite a will.
About a month ago I was added to the system, and initially we had a few issues relating to the home directory, but we changed 'something' and it all worked.
Fast forward to now, and we've added a new user - Hannah - to our system.
I've added her in the Workgroup Manager, and set her up everywhere I can find on the server. Her home directory creates on the server fine.
She appears in the Logon list on the client machines, and here's where the trouble starts...
Every time she tries to log on, it fails. The logon box just bounces or wobbles as though the password is incorrect. We've tried changing the password, to no avail. We've tried adding new test users - same problem.
We've tried sudo kinet on the Terminal as a local user, with variable results.
I'm at my wits end, and really hoping someone here can help offer some suggestions or advice we can work through to get to the bottom of this.
Thanks in advance!

Your problems are likely occurring because you added her to the directory with Workgroup Manager.
You should really start avoiding WGM when at all possible as Apple is clearly moving away from it. Because of this, things don't always work as expected when using 'legacy' tools like WGM.
My guess as to what your problem is: When you create a new user in Server.app, two things happen for you automatically that WILL NOT HAPPEN if done from WGM.
First the user is added to the default "Workgroup" group.
More importantly (and the source of much confusion), the user is automatically added to SACLs.
Check the SACL for the user in Server.app, I bet you'll notice that they aren't a member of the File Sharing group like they should be. To solve this problem, you can either delete the user and recreate them in Server.app, or manually add them to the appropriate SACL.
I would opt for recreating them in Server.app if I were you, as I don't trust user accounts that originate in WGM on Lion Server.

Lion Server not reading Active Directory Groups reliably

I am trying to upgrade one of our XServes from Snow Leopard Server to Lion Server and am running into a strange issue with our Active Directory based users and Groups.
The current Snow Leopard Server serving files from a XSan volume is running fine, though we find a very long Lag time for Windows users to connect. Once a few users have connected the lag seems to go away, but it is still not nearly as fast as Mac users connecting or Windows connecting to a PC server.
So I have connected a second Xserve to the SAN and performed a clean install of Lion Server. Initially while it would find my Active Directory Groups it would not import any of the users, so obvioulsly no one could connect. In a last ditch effort I installed the beta of 10.7.4, which seemed to resolve the issue for a small group of test users. However as I expanded the test I found that some users would get a message that the were no resources available to them, or they didn't have the correct permissions. This is very strange as everyone is in the same group so should have the same permissions. As a test I took one of the user accounts and created a new share and gave him R/W permission to that share and suddenly all of the shares that he should have had permission to in the first place popped up.
The only thing that I can think of is that we have such a large Active Directory structure that the authentication is timing out or reaching some user limit and stops looking. (we have over 50,000 users and thousands of groups spread through multiple OUs in the AD structure)
The new Server.app in Lion looks nice, but it does not seem to have nearly the robustness of the previous Server Admin tools. For instance, I never needed or wanted to setup a "Golden Triangle" but with Lion it is required. Perviously I could search for AD users or groups and drag them from the search window to the share to assign permission, now even though I've imported the groups and users it needs to search the entire directory when assigning permissions - why can't it see the groups that are already there? Why can I run a dscl search and find a user or group instantly, but the Server.app hangs for 5 minutes and shows 0 results?
Has anyone found a way to make Lion Server work in an enterprise environment?

Yesterday morning I bound a 10.7.4 server to our AD, and in the afternoon I eventually saw all the AD users, groups, etc show in Workgroup Manager. Now, with dscl, I can see all the AD user and group records, and with Workgroup Manager, I can search the groups, users, and computers, but with the Server.app, when trying to create new group of the type "Imported group from another directory", the searches returned nothing. Directory Utility can show all the AD information also. Our AD has thousands of user record, and so it is reasonable that it may take some time for the Mac server to get all the info. But from the add users or groups interface, I just could not get any search results. What could be wrong then?

Cannot Add user to CMC Group when they are a member of LDAP group

On PreProduction Server CMC
Softerra LDAP browser used to verify user is a member of LDAP group
User does not show as a member of that group in the CMC
Cannot add user to LDAP group showing in CMC, the same group shows the member in LDAP browser
On Production Server CMC
For kicks I logged into the CMC on Production and I found the user is correctly showing as a member of the Group
Why doesn't the groups in CMC show what is actually showing in the LDAP browser?

Hi,
Check if you have also mapped in both servers the same groups. It might be that there are some groups missing in the Pre-prod.
Also, try restarting the CMS. I have seen similar issues that are solved after forcing the recreation of the graph.
If after the restart you still can't see the groups, check the mapping on the LDAP server. It might be that both servers do not use the same attribute mappings.

Julian

Cannot add users to a mapped third party group

Hi Experts,
When i try to add my sap groups(SB1~100@xxxx) to my ad users iam getting error as "cannot add users to a mapped thirdparty group.Pls advice how can i add these groups

You cannot add a user to a SAP group, create an enterprise user group and add both SAP group and AD user to that.

Cannot add users to mapped third party group

when i try to add a user to a group i get the following message
"cannot add users to mapped third party group"

If a group was mapped in via AD/LDAP/SAP then the users must be added in the 3rd party (AD/LDAP/SAP) you cannot create members inthe CMC. This is by product design. If you want to add members to groups in the CMC they must be enterprise groups only (groups created in the CMC not mapped in from 3rd parties).

Tim

Genius bar told me to erase the harddisk and install OSX Maverick again. This has not changed the problems with the system settings

You need to Repartition the drive as One partition which will erase all data from it and then reinstall OS X. then with the initial setup system you chose the language on the first screen that comes up. That sets the language for the whole system.
There is no other way of completely removing certain information created by a previous owner. this hold strue whether you are selling or give a Mac to someone.
To do the repartitioning you need to use the Online Internet Recovery system, if the Mac came with Lion 10.7 or above, or from the original system reinstall discs that came with it when it was new.
