Chagne Home Directory Server's Host Name

I've tried to change the server's host name, and re-shared the home directory location so that in Workgroup manager, it will show up as a choice for the home folder location.
After I selected the new location (with all the folders still in the same place), and tried loggin in as any user, it gives me an error saying there's a problem logging in.
What should I do?
(if I change everything back, everything works fine, but I'll need to change the host name eventually)

Found a solution to avoid changing the Directory Server's name.

  • Users refused SSH connection of home directory server.

    I have an odd situation when using SSH connections for secure FTP file
    access on my NW6.5 servers.
    I've got two main data servers. Both are identical in setup: NW6.5SP8/eDir
    8.8SP5 VM's running on identical Dell PE1950's attached to a Hitachi SAN
    array.
    One server hosts the users' home folders, the other holds data shared across
    the enterprise.
    I have a third data server at a remote campus.
    With the server that hosts the user's home folders, I've several accounts
    that are not able to connect. The server logs indicate a failed password.
    That same user, however, can log in successfully to either the server that
    holds shared data or the server at the remote site.
    Due to the nature of how Novell implements SSH, once they've logged in,
    they're attached to their home folder on the server that will not allow them
    direct connection.
    Since this issue does not affect all users, I don't understand where the
    issue lies.
    The sshd_config file on both servers are identical.
    Not sure if it's applicable to this issue, but SDIDIAG reports no problems
    on either server.
    The entries from the respective log files:

    In the past I've collected iMonitor traces, but could find anything concrete
    that points to a system issue.
    That said, I can't remember what all I set up in the trace configuration
    beyond NMAS and LDAP, so I may have been looking for the wrong thing.
    Any ideas of where to look for problems are welcome.

  • Must I reinstal Oracle if I change the server's host name

    My oracle817 is running on the windows2000 platform and works well.
    But when I changed the W2K server's host name, the OracleOraHome81Agent service can't be started. What's wrong with it? Must I reinstall the oracle to comply with the host name?
    Thanks in advance

    I changed the long name & did not observe any problems.
    Permission problems? - will there be ownership problems if the account owner's long name is changed but the short name is not,
    Mac OS X uses the short name internally.
    Login problems? - I assume the login window will show the usual picture icon for the administrator but with the new long name. And by clicking the icon I'll have no problem logging in as long as I supply the old unchanged password.
    correct
    File sharing problems? - If I want to login (Connect) to the administrator's account from another machine then could I use either the new administrator long name or the old unchanged short name to do this?
    Have not tried this. You can use the short name.

  • Migrate Server 2008 Certificate Authority To New Server Different Host Name?

    Our internal CA is installed on one of our Exchange servers.  Exchange is being migrated from 2010 to 2013, so all current Exchange servers will decommissioned and replaced with new new Hyper-V VMs with either Server 2008 R2 or 2012 R2 OS. The old VM
    containing Exchange 2010 and the current CA will go away since we cannot afford to use the server resources and use up the required Windows license to keep that server running doing nothing but acting as a CA.
    So, we will either need to move the CA to the new replacement Exchange 2013 server or some other existing server that's being used for something else (maybe one of the domain controllers).
    What is the best way to handle this?  I don't think the migration from Exchange 2010 to 2013 allows for reusing the same host name on the replacement server and if we move the CA to another existing server, it will also be on a server with a new host
    name anyways.
    Can we migrate the CA to a new server with a different host name?
    What about reissuing all the active certificates from the current server to replace them with new certificates from the new server and then decommissioning the original CA?  Can this be automated in some way?
    Which way is best and how would it be done?

    When following the instructions in the guide, I would also consider to switch to new "sanitized" URLs in certificates (CDP and AIA) in case you had used the default URLs now. That's what I did this when migrating W2K3 CAs (with default URLs) to W2K8 R2.
    Per default, the LDAP and HTTP URLs point to the CA server itself (HTTP) or to an LDAP objects that has the same name as the current server.
    Migrating to a new server, you need to make sure that CRLs will still be published to the old locations - thus the new CA server would write to the LDAP object that corresponded to the old server, and HTTP might be fixed by redirecting the DNS record. (Make
    sure this is documented so that nobody thinks it might be a good idea to delete the old object as it "references a server that does not exist anymore".)
    As you have to fiddle with URLs anyway, I would then add new URLs having neutral names - that is URLs not including the name of the CA server. The new CA instance would then 1) publish to the old locations but not add these to certificates anymore and 2)
    publish to new sanitized locations and add them to CDP and AIA URLs.

  • 10.5 server changes host name when changed to be member of 10.4 OD Master

    Hi,
    I have a Xserve with 10.4.11. This is my working OD master hostname: AAA, FQDN: AAA.domain, realm DOMAIN. Now I have a PowerMac G5, hostname BBB, FQDN BBB.domain, where I install 10.5 server.
    When it comes up as stand alone, the hostname is BBB (FQDN BBB.domain), but when I then connect it (as domain member) to my OD master, it promts me to say that "AAA" is a used hostname and that it changes hostname to" AAA (2)".
    In my DNS it is still identified as BBB.domain, and it is bind to the realm as BBB.
    Why does it act like this?
    Subsequently I can't get kerberos to work and SMB does not want to be a member of the domain (always get back to standalone instead of becoming member of the domain).

    Here comes a bit more on this one. I waited and maybe this had to do with having a OD master in Tiger and the OD member on Leopard. But now both are in Leopard. And things are the same.
    I have thou been studying the Console after some tips. And I'm changing the host name in Server Admin/Network to BBB (what it should be). And it seems to work fine. Name of the server changes where supposed to (what I can see). And in Console I can se that the administration tool changes host name in a variety of places.
    And now I wait.
    If I do nothing (the network is pretty small), nothing happens. But after a while, I login with for example Remote desktop the followingapears in Console:
    +Jan 3 12:58:02 emil mDNSResponder[30]: User updated Computer Name from AAA (2) to AAA+

    +Jan 3 12:58:03 emil mDNSResponder[30]: mDNS_SetFQDN - hostname unchanged+
    "AAA (2) to AAA" may as well be "BBB to AAA". But I'm very surprised over that the logg claims that "User updated Computer name..." For all I know, I haven't. And note in the middle here that the mDNSResponder changes to AAA (which indeed is used - it's the OD master!!!), discovers that the name is in use, and then changes to "AAA (2)".
    But why does it at all initiate a change from AAA to "AAA (2)"?
    Why can't I call the server BBB?

  • Mail server config inconsistent when host name differs from domain name

    Hi,
    I've installed Leopard server on host server.example.com but want to server email for example.com the host name for incoming mail should be mx01.example.com. DNS is setup properly resolving server.example.com and mx01.example.com (both forward and reverse, mx01 having a separate IP) and mx01.example.com is set as MX for example.com. Both IPs are routed to the internal server by the firewall.
    In Server Admin, server.example.com is set as computer name (also resolved to the proper internal IP by our internal DNS), and in mail settings -> General, domain name is set to example.com and host name to mx01.example.com (so that the mail server identifies itself properly when connected on port 25).
    Normal mail traffic works perfectly: Users can send and receive mail from/to addresses like <user_shortname>@example.com. I've got problems with mailing lists, though:
    First, group based mailing lists (for groups created in Workgroup Manager) have the wrong addresses: <group_shortname>@server.example.com. Those addresses are linked when you view the croup in Directory.app. You can send mails to eg [email protected] when connecting to the server via telnet on port 25, but get an error email ([email protected]>: mail for server.example.com loops back to myself, Reporting-MTA: mx01.example.com) back.
    Second, mailman based mailing lists also have the wrong addresses: <listname>@server.example.com and at the bottom of the mails received from the lists, there are also links to the lists web page with the url mx01.example.com instead of the host's name server.example.com.
    mx01 should only be used by incoming SMTP, but if this isn't possible, I could revert to using server.example.com for the MX record as well. But the email addresses should definitely use the domain name and not the full server name as domain part. This is a typical email server setup and I can't understand why leopard server handles this differently. Does anyone have a workaround for this or could tell me how to setup an email system properly?
    Thanks a lot in advance!!
    Cheers, Thomas

    Well, you pointed me into the right direction: Changing the mail server's host name helped a bit. I just dumped the name mx01.example.org. The host is called server.example.org and in mail settings, the domain name is set to example.org while the host name is set to server.example.com. The MX record will have to point to server.example.org, then.
    The server now accepts emails to group based mailing lists à la <group_shortname>@example.org. In Directory.app, the link the the group's mailing list still opens a new Mail to <group_shortname>@server.example.org, though.
    For mailman based mailing lists, the link to the list's listinfo page in the bottom of emails received from the list is now correctly pointing to server.example.org. The list's address shown there still is <list_name>@server.example.org.

  • HT201320 what is the incoming mail server host name and user names

    Hi there,
    I am trying to add my school email account to my phone and I am able to fill in the
    Name
    Email
    and Description
    but am not sure what I am supposed to fill out in the Incoming Mail Server spots:
    Host Name
    User Name
    and the password is already filled in?
    and Im not sure what the Outgoing Mail Server is either.

    You'll have to ask someone at your school what the incoming server settings are for their email.  These differ for every email provider/account.

  • 10.7.5 client shows open directory server not responding

    Hello,
    I am just starting to learn to use OS X Server.  I have created an Open Directory Master and want to connect my various Mac's around the home to.  My iMac is currently running 10.7.5 client and have tried to add the server as a Network Account Server  - re: below, but it shows it is not responding.
    As I am a real novice, have I missed something and how do I get this to work?
    Thanks,
    Nick

    You are likely having issues because you are not using DNS correctly.  The name "CowShed.local" is a bonjour name.  In order to properly use Open Directory you need DNS set up internally.  The reason is that the Kerberos component of Open Directory is very dependent on DNS.
    Generally, I would discourage the use of bogus top level domain.  However, since you say this is for home use, you can likely get away with the use of one (mac.leedern.int, mac.leederm.private, etc).  However, if you do, then you will not be able to use hosted services (mail, calendar, contacts, etc) transparently between the home and external networks (names will not route).
    If you own a domain name, you can use it internally and setup your DNS on the server.  Then distribute the servers's LAN IP address to all clients as the first DNS server.  This way, all your client devices can resolve the server's host name while on the LAN.
    Your journey starts at DNS.

  • Home directory is not created and cannot log from client computer

    I am trying to set up MacOsX server. I already have another server which is my DNS server. I am trying to create an Open Directory Master server.
    Server was updated to 10.4.8 MacOsX from the beginning of existence.
    I created couple of users in Open directory domain for testing purposes.
    So, the first problem is, that when I am trying to create a user home directory server does not create it and does not give any errors about that. I tried in bash createhomedir utility, it did not work either, again, no error messages.
    Another problem:
    I set up Open Directory master with LDAP. It was set up correctly, no error messages. At least I did not see any.
    The I tried to connect to the server from my client iMac computer which has 10.4.8 MacOsX as well. So I set up LDAP there in Directory services, it was able to find my server and bind to it. Then when I am trying to login with username and password in Open Directory on the server, it does nor recognize it. No error messages in logs as well.
    However, if I am trying to use ssh from client machine to connect to Server using the names which are in Open Directory on the server it allows me to do so. But of course it says no home directory defined.
    Than you very much for responce!

    An Open Directory Master requires DNS running somewhere. You could have a scenario involving 4 servers where: DNS is provided by Server A, Server B is a Web & Mail Server, Server C providing FTP Services and Server D providing LDAP services with managed preferences and automounting Home Directories (ODM). In this scenario DNS is provide by Server A and any other server requiring DNS using Server A’s DNS. You could expand this scenario if you wanted and have replica (fallover) servers for Servers A, B C or D, or if you are the frugal sort just one replica server replicating the 4 primary servers. You can do all of this pretty much in 10.4 GUI with some additional configuration using Terminal
      Mac OS X (10.4.8)  
      Mac OS X (10.4.8)

  • NetInstall and host name

    Can someone explain why, when I image from our NetBoot server, the host name of the client (target machine) is changed to "knotset"? We used to use a bootable DVD to install our custom corporate image and never had this problem. However, we've recently evolved to the point of using NetInstall to deploy our images. Everything in NetBoot has been working great, but this knotset thing is bugging me... The only way I know to change it is in /etc/hostconfig, but I'd prefer to avoid manually changing this value.

    Hey Charles,
    I see you are having an issue with getting your Officejet Pro 8600 Premium to connect to your wireless network.  The first thing I would advise is to make sure to power cycle the entire network setup.  This will make sure the network is fresh and DHCP is renewed.
    Follow these steps to reset your HP printer, your wireless router, and your computer.
    Press the Power button on the HP printer to turn it off.
    Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the HP printer.
    Disconnect the power cord from the wireless router.
    Turn off the computer.
    Wait 30 seconds.
    Reconnect the power cord to the wireless router.
    Wait 30 seconds, or until the router is fully on and ready.
    Turn the computer back on.
    Wait for the computer to reload.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the HP printer.
    Turn the printer back on.
    Once everything is powered back up, then try going back to the Wireless Setup Wizard through the front panel of the printer.  Are you trying to connect through WPS (Wifi protected setup) or through selecting the network ID (SSID) and typing in the password?
    What happens when you try to connect?  Do you get any errors?
    Once the printer is connected to the network what is the IP of the printer?  Does this fit in the domain of your home network?

  • Login problem with E-Recruiting URL, where check host name?

    Hi,
    I've set up a standard Recruiter user and assigned him the standard Recruiter security profile. When I run RCF_GENERATE_URLS, I get this URL:
    http://iwdfvm2160.wdf.sap.corp:51080/sap/bc/bsp/sap/hrrcf_start_int?sap-client=200&sap-language=EN&rcfSpId=0003
    But I get an "internal error" when I login with my User. Our server's host name is iwdfvm2160.gcsap.com, but the program isn't resolving this. This is probably the cause of the error, but how can I get it to pick up our host name?
    We are on E-Recruiting version 6, and it's running on the same box as HCM.
    Thanks, Vlad

    Hello Vlad,
    usually the links generated from the report are correct. Only very rare problem might be in the network structure of your company that the internal dns servers can't resolve the server name or the sap servers are in a not reachable network segmant as you never worked with http access to the servers for other applicatiohns.
    But if you log on the first time with your user and have not been working with the application yet, the more probable reason for this error is the missing candidate for e-recruiting. Without a candidate you won't be able to work with the application.
    Check transaction SLG1. There should be an error "No candidate for User <your username>" or sth. similar.
    If so run report RCF_CREATE_USER to get a candidate. Then you should be able to log on.
    If you already have a candidate and cannot login check SLG1 and SM21 for error messages. If there are any but you don't feel able to solve the logged problem. Just post the message here. I think someone will be able to help.

  • Problem with OAS Instance Name y Host Name to create trial ssl certificate

    Hi, everyone
    I have a problem when creating a trial ssl certificate from Verisign page, affer a live assistance, that page rejected my CSR generated from OAS, saying thay my common name has invalid characters.
    My Oracle Application Server installation name: Instance.HostName is:

    So, Verisign told me this name can't contain "_" or "-" characters for example.
    I need to know if it's possible to change the instance name and if OAS host name changes also if i change server's host name.
    I wouldn't like to reinstall all over again.
    Please help.

    Hi,
    No your AS server will not automatic. even if you change your host name.
    If U 'll try to change your host name, be carefull when U 'll try to start you AS instacne
    it ' not start anymore , AS user hosts fill to get full quallified name of your host.
    U 've two choices
    -1 delete your AS, then change your hosts name, then new installtion of AS
    2- If U 've exprience with AS, just breng your AS down, change your hosts name,
    U 'll need to do some changes in your AS, just read admininstrator Guide.

    I just found out if I change the IP address of the machines, they start syncing with no problem. It seems the combination of IP address and network home directory does not allow access to the server. I know it does not make sense.

  • Installation of Sun Directory Server on Home PC - Domain name problem

    Hi!
    I would like to install SunONE directory server on my home PC but, I am unable to do so because one of the installation steps requires the fully qualified machine name. This is of format <hostname>.<domainname>. My home PC doesnot belong to any domain. Is there any solution to this problem? Is there a default domain name that I can use?
    Thanks in advance!
