Cannot update Global Password Policies, no SSL bind, etc

Hello Community--
This is day 3 of the Apple Server Hostage Crisis, and it looks like I'll started clean slate build #5.
By way of background, I had a functioning ML/2.2.2 server that had RAID problems (and still does).  Attempting to rebuild array failed and I lost the boot hard drives.  I have access to dumpall.psql and all the user data (on an external drive).  I attempted a couple of times to build a clean Mavericks/3.0 server but I couldn't figure out how to get the service data back.  So I build a clean ML/2.2.2 system, got the wiki/calendar/contacts, etc data back in place to include establishment of an OD master using an archive.  Turns out the archive was from one of my Mavericks/3.0 attempts, and while it seemed to create the OD okay, every time I tried to edit the global password policy, Server.app crashed.  I decided to try to move up to Mavericks/3.0.  Server.app no longer crashed but still cannot change global password policies.  I get the following error:
servermgrd[]: servermgr_dirserv: +[PWPolicy setGlobalPolicyFromDict] error: policy data modification failed: Object class violation: attribute 'apple-user-passwordpolicy' not allowed ()
I deleted the OD master a couple of times and recreated it from a new archive.  On the second iteration, my PositiveSSL cert was deleted....
Q1:  Has anyone seen this password policy error and know how to solve it?
Additionally, although I have (had) the cert from PositiveSSL for my domain, the OD with Server 3 will not use it, instead reverting to a self-signed cert.  All other services seem to work with the PositiveSSL cert.  I've seen discussions in the community on this but have not found a solution. 
Q2: Is this related to why I cannot create a secure binding?
I have not even gotten to the point of trying to set up Profile Manager to manage users and devices.  I have not read anywhere that I *need* to have Profile Manger started to get a basic system running.  From a Mavericks-based client where I've logged in with a local user, I can su <OD User> and log in, but the automount of the user's home directory fails due to an authentication issue. 
Q3:  In Mavericks, does a device have to be enrolled/configured in Profile Manager in order to bind and be usable?
Well, I'm off to start my next rebuild, but would still appreciate comments and suggestions as I suspect this hostage crisis is not over yet.
Thanks.
Tim

Rebuilt from scratch and reloaded databases for services and the OD archive.  But something was still jacked and passwords wouldn't take.  I was starting to suspect it was OD again, but then I decided to completely wipe the device_management database, which I did following these steps:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5349.
That may have gotten me on track, which is good because I was getting ready to recreate each user account.  I'll continue the effort tomorrow (day 4). 
I have not decided if I will try again for Mavericks/Server 3.  Sigh....

  • Cannot update email password in settings - prompted for password every time I check mail

    Every time I open my email inbox I am prompted to enter my password. Whether I enter it or "x" out of it, it continues to ask me for it every time. I went into settings and the stored password is not the correct one, so I update it, press done & it either says "server unavailable" or "save/edit," either way, it doesn't work (doesn't save when I press save, or doesn't allow me to save at all b/c of "unavailable server." Please help!!!

    I have, endlessly. It continues to prompt me every time. And when I try to update my password in settings I see it is the incorrect one, but cannot change it either because it won't save even though it says it is.. Or it says the server is unavailable.

  • Cannot Set URL For Report Server SSL Binding In SSRS 2008R2

    Hi,
    I have an SSL certificate that has a number of subject alternate names and I need the SSL binding for the report server and the report manager to be against one of these names, not the certificate name.
    However, while it is possible to set the host header for a non-SSL identity and therefore control the URL reserved, it does not seem possible to set this for an SSL identity - the edit dialogue box simply generates the URL when you choose the certificate
    from the dropdown box.
    How do I set the URL for a report server SSL binding?
    Cheers
    Dan

    Hi Charlie,
    You are correct, i am configuring SSL connections on a native mode report server and i want to configure a custom URL for it.
    However, my issue is not that I cannot see the certficate - it is that I cannot set a custom URL for SSL connections. Apologies, I should have written up an example of what I am seeing:-
    I have installed a certificate for a.company.com. It shows up fine in the certificate list/dropdown for configuring the web service URL SSL certificate.
    I can set a host header for non-SSL traffic for a.company.com and the binding succeeds. I can also set an SSL identity in the same Advanced Multiple Web Site Configuration window for a.company.com and this also binds correctly.
    However, the certficate is like a wildcard in that it supports 4 more URLs in its subject alternate name property. I would like to set an SSL identity for b.company.com which is one of those entries.
    As an aside, the certificate is also installed in IIS and succeeds in binding to b.company.com. I mention this as it shows that the certificate appears to be installed correctly and is working in its wildcard-like capacity.
    I can also successfully set a host header for b.company.com for the report server for non-SSL traffic. It is b.company.com that I would like to host the report server and manager under.
    The issue I have is that if I try to add an SSL identity for the report server web service for b.company.com using the Advanced Multiple Web Site Configuration window, there is no editable box for URL and so it does not allow me to set the URL/host
    header - it therefore always binds to a.company.com.
    I have scoured the boards for answers and there have been a couple of mentions, but neither has worked for me.
    This one talks about adding the required
    https://b.company.com/reportserver to the rsreportserver.config file and the OP describes the issue pretty much exactly as I am experiencing plus the responder talks about this guidance as coming from MS support - however when I followed the steps the result
    is the same as without the configuration:-
    http://www.sql-server-performance.com/forum/threads/ssrs-2008-host-headers-and-ssl.28571/
    Another suggestion (for which I have lost the link) was to amend the URL config in that file directly and add the required entry. Both posters claim it has worked for them so I am sure that using a wildcard certificate with SSRS does work! I think in my
    case I am missing some extra steps as it is fine to amend the config file directly, but I don't think this actually kicks off the SSL/URL binding process which is what the dialogue window does.
    Hope this helps in explaining further. I am sure this is resolvable as I cannot believe the only option for SSRS is to bind to a single domain name and ignore the other wildcard/alternate options.
    Cheers

  • Seem to have multiple apple ids one on computer one on iPod cannot use iTunes because password for old id not recognized cannot update user name for ipod

    cannot update username on ipod for itunes
    why are they all different. Why don't I have just one id?
    I cannot update apps.
    password for username not recognized
    I want one apple id for everything
    one password for everything
    I cannot retrieve or reset anything for itunes to update apps

    It appears that you have apps on the iPod that wer purchased with more than one iTunes account.  If one from more than one iTunes account need updating, you need to update them one at a time (not update all) until all the remianing apps were purchased from one account.  You may need to change the accont the iPId is signed into by go to Settings>Store and signing out and in.

  • I cannot update Firefox, my computer is claiming that I need admin permission (everything else updates fine) I am the admin for this computer and I have the password. Any ideas?

    I cannot update Firefox, I've tried disabling firewalls etc. My computer claims that I need admin permission to update Firefox although I am the owner and administrator of this computer. There are updates available and know the admin password for this computer. It started when I installed the Noscript tool (which I have tried disabling with the same results)
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == I installed the Noscript tool

    1. Download either the zipped form (or the portable form) of the latest version of FireFox.
    2. Unzip (or execute the portable version) into a scratch directory. (If using the portable version, find the scratch subdirectory with the same contents as the firefox directory in the "program files" - probably called "firefox". You may have to look for it - it's buried)
    3. Erase the contents of the firefox subdirectory in the Program Files directory,
    4. and copy into "Program Files/firefox" directory the unzipped files (or the files in the portable subdirectory labelled "firefox" - the one that has the set of files and directories just like the ones you erased.).
    It worked for me.

  • Cannot update my email provider password on iMac but can on iPhone

    I have had to update my email password with email provider.  When I tried to update it on the iMac in the Internet Accounts section, I got a message saying "Password could not be sent to 'mail.tesco.net' securely.  Mail cannot send your password securely tot he server.  You can continue without a secured password, which could  put your password at risk'.  However, when I updated it on my iPhone it was accepted straightaway and I have no problem receiving my emails.

    Is your mail set up to use SSL in connecting with the e-mail server? If you look in whatever mail program you are using, you can check this in your account. If you are not using SSL, the password gets passed in the open anyway.

    try tapping holding on the key that would be most similar to the letter you want to enter, that will bring up a menu of other characters similar to that character and maybe the greek letter will be included in that menu
