Change open directory mac

If I want all my downloads to go to my MAC desktop and choose open, the open files also save to the desktop.
Is there a way to change the temp directory?

Looks like this is a long-running feature request/discussion:

Change Open Directory Network Interface

I have a Mac Mini running Snow Leopard Server. This machine has two ethernet interfaces (internal and USB one). I'd like to restrict Open Directory/LDAP to run on ONLY ONE of the NICs, leaving the ports used by Open Directory/LDAP free on the other NIC. I seem to be unable to locate the necessary preference or configuration file to make this change. I am hoping someone on the forum knows how to accomplish this. Thank you in advance!

Change Open Directory Home Users Directory Command Line

We have over 1,000 users in our first attempt at Open Directory. Right now they have all different home directories but we'd like to set them all to one location, the temp directory, it's for a student lab. What is the best way to programmatically run through every OD users, check their home directory setting, then change it?

As an additional comment:
I used the dscl -passwd CLI for over a year and it was effective. However, sometime around the update to 10.5.8 this command refused to work on my server and resulted in a dsLDAP error code. This happened even if run from a terminal window on the server. The OD master is still running strong without errors.
Thanks to Galen Sprague who posted an alternative, I switched to pwpolicy as in:
$ pwpolicy -a <LDAPadmin> -p <adminPW> -u <username> -setpassword <newpassword>
This seems to work consistently from a Ruby invocation and at the terminal.
The advantage is that an old password is not required only the new password.
The disadvantage is that a user could change his/her own password using dscl -passwd without requiring the adminUser authentication.

Mac os x server 3.0.2 open directory master disappear from list

Hi, There is a very funny Mac OS X Server 3.0.2 issue.
After I updated my mac os X server from 3.0.0 to 3.0.2. as my host name is conflict with other Mac mini, I changed X server's Mac mini's host name, computer name and localhost name. When I restart my x server. My defined "Open Directory Master" disappear from my server list.
Actually, I need to change some setting from UI, as it disppeared from UI, I can't do any about it. Is there any way to delete it from command line? or How I can enable it appear again?

As can't find the defined open directory server master, have to delete it from terminal command line as:
sudo slapconfig -destroyldapserver
and then add a new open directory master.

Open Directory users prompted to change password after 10.8 to 10.9 server upgrade

I just upgraded our 10.8.5 server to 10.9.3. I also upgraded Server.app to the most recent version (3.1.2). I made a complete backup first as a precaution.
Existing non-admin users are being prompted to change their password when logging in. I've narrowed the problem down to a checkbox in the "Global Password Policy" settings in Server.app, specifically this checkbox: "Passwords must: be reset on first user login". I had that box checked in 10.8 so that new users would be prompted to create a password the first time they logged into a bound computer. It worked great and I'd like to continue using this feature in 10.9.
If I uncheck this box in Server.app in 10.9.3, existing users can log in just fine with their existing passwords. If I re-check the box, non-admin users are suddenly prompted to change their password when logging in, even though they've logged in countless times in the past.
Here are some things I've tried:
* stopping and restarting the Open Directory service in Server.app
* restarting the server
* disabling and re-enabling an existing user account
* inspecting user records in Directory Utility for any peculiar attributes
* I used the mkpassdb -dump command to verify that the correct "last login time" is present for a particular user, but I'm not enough of an Open Directory expert to know if this is the attribute that the Global Password Policy relies on.
Does anyone have any other ideas or suggestions?

UPDATE: It looks like this issue applies to new (post-upgrade) accounts, too, suggesting that this has nothing to do with the upgrade process. Can anyone confirm this behavior? It's easy to test:
1) Make sure the "Passwords must: be reset on first user login" box is unchecked.
2) Create a new user in Open Directory.
3) Log in once. No problem.
4) Now check the "Passwords must: be reset on first user login" box.
5) Try to log in again. Were you prompted to change your password? Logically, you shouldn't have been prompted, but users on my server are being prompted.

Changing the Name of an Open Directory Server while preserving users, etc.

Hi Everyone,
Not an emergency - but I have been wrestling with this dilemma for almost a year now.
The good news is nothing has to be done right away. But I will ultimately need a solution.
We have inherited a server system at a traditional elementary school from a previous IT person who was immature to say the least.
When he set up the server system, he named the open directory server something that, while innocuous is inappropriate for a school setting. I am sure he thought it was clever and cheeky at the time. But a few years later it is simply unprofessional. And we are being expected to ultimately be able to change it so something like "XXXdirectory.domainname.edu" The more it hangs around - the longer it looks like we did this and it makes us look unprofessional.
So here is my dilemma.
This is an OD Master with iCal and network homes attached to it. It also runs DNS.
I would like to set up a new server and name it "xxxdirectory.schooldomainname.edu"
Setting up the new server is easy and getting all the client machines to bind to it - no problem.
The problem is how to migrate all the users to the new server. It seems a restore wont work because if the new server is named differently, the restore will fail. I also can't do a server migration because the stupid name migrates to the new server.
My old server is 10.5.8 Server. The new one is 10.7.1 Server . But could be 10.6.8 Server if need be.
The main problem is how do I get all the accounts onto a new server with a new OD master name?
I don't mind command line stuff. So throw whatever you got at me.
Thanks in advance for your help everyone. Don't worry - I won't be a pain in the butt or argue. I just need some good solid guidance, even if it is a "Not possible" answer - at least I have something to tell the administration when they want to know why we can't change the OD Master name from mcnugget.schoolname.edu.
Please let me know if you need more details. I am happy to provide.
Thanks again.
Tony

If you don't mind resetting everybodies password then you can export the users and groups and wipe the server for a clean install or turn it into a standalone server then back into od master then import the users and groups.

How to repair Open Directory Master after Changing Hostname

Summary:
How to repair Open Directory after Changing your Server's Hostname (see separate post)
Problem:
I had to change our server's hostname from a private hostname (server.name.private) to a public hostname (name.dyndns.org).
Procedure:
1. Precautions:
Since I was anticipating major dramas I tested the change of hostname on a clone ( I used Super Duper, and I very strongly advise everybody to heed this warning because a change of hostname will corrupt your server services, in particular Open Directory)
Second, I exported the network users from Server Admin and copied the archive to the Drop Folder of the server's local account (because the network accounts will be unavailable after demoting the OD Master.)
2. Change hostname and demote OD Master
a) I re-booted the server from the clone
b) I changed the hostname in Server App and I noticed that the Open Directory Password and the Kerberos database were still stuck with the old hostname.
c) I then demoted to a standalone directory (Server Admin) and I tried to promote the server to an OD Master using the Server App (Manage Network Accounts). Server App always returned an error saying I should check my network settings.
3. List of 'fixes'
I tried the following fixes to no avail (which does not mean that you can skip them)
a) I checked the DNS entries, forward and reverse were working fine (sudo checkip -changehostname)
b) Checked with Lookup in Network Utility, all was fine
c) I deleted all system certificates (Keychain) which showed the name of the previous hostname
( N.B. you need not delete email certificate and private/public keys)
d) I tried to assign a new static IP in Networking Preferences (had no visible result)
e) I re-booted from the working drive and I re-paired permissions on the clone; I ran disk repairs.
Despite all this I could not re-create an OD Master.
I then looked for this dubious folder /var/root/Library/Application Support/Certificate Authority.
I could not find this folder when using the Finder's Go To Folder, nor did "Easy Find" see this folder.
I was about to give up when I read the posts on this page and I entered the Terminal commands
sudo rm -R /var/root/Library/Application\ Support/Certificate\ Authority/
I had not much hope when I set about to re-create the OD Master from the Server App.
But lo and behold !!! I did not trust my eyes when Server App claimed that the OD Master had been successfully created. And indeed, Server admin showed a running OD Master, LDAP, Kerberos and Password Server all running again !
Final touch: re-import the user accounts.
Epilogue:
I woud not have been able to fix this issue had not so many others shared their experience and the working solution.
(Refer : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3219325?start=0&tstart=0 )
Thank you all !
Let's hope that Apple will fix this annoying issue in the next server update.

Twistan

Use Open Directory on Mac OS X Server for Airport authentication?

Is it possible to set up an Airport Extreme network so that only people with user names and passwords in the Open Directory on my Mac OS X Server can access it?
I'm picturing a scenario where users would be prompted for the same user name and password they use for other network services when they attempt to join the wireless network.
Our Airport Extreme access point is connected to the second Ethernet port on an original-model XServe that's running Mac OS X Server 10.3.9 (soon to be upgraded to 10.4.x).

What you seem to be describing, is WPA2/Enterprise level security. This would require you to run some type of Radius Server on your XServe, and you would simply duplicate the name & password they use on the XServe on the Radius Server. BTW, this is considered one of the most secure methods of running a wireless network in the corporate world.
You will however, have to research Radius & it's requirements, as I have not yet implemented that on my own system. HTH.

Authentication (with open directory admin username & password) is off by default. In Mountain Lion there is no longer a GUI to manage that and some of the other binding options. In Lion, I think you could use Server Admin (or was it Workgroup Manager) -- I can't remember, but there were little checkboxes.
To make authentication mandatory in Mountain Lion, you can use this on the Server:
sudo slapconfig -setmacosxodpolicy -binding required
Use the following to check the binding policies:
slapconfig -getmacosxodpolicy
You might want to check the slapconfig man page, you'll find some of the other options that were in Server Admin in Lion, e.g. disable cleartext, block man-in-middle, etc.
Edit, I just saw you're still using Lion Server, not Mountain Lion. I'm pretty sure the above commands will work on Lion Server as well.

Does mac server 3.2.1 open directory support object class "sambaSamAccount"?

Hi:
I use open directory to be a directory service in mac server 3.2.1, and in client side is a linux os.
I want the user can access data via samba. So i add "objectclass: sambaSamAccount" to user by directory utility,
and i also copy linux samba.schema replace the default samba.schema but always show the error message.
The attribute value could not be used because it does not meet the requirements of the attribute.
What problem with it? I miss do something?
thanks

Just to clarify - this is where i get to and after somehow right-clicking and opening this red-marked folder, the contents are seemingly empty
However I tried drag-dropping the folder to the field where you browse for backup and it found contents as it requested passowrd for archive. I input it but then get this:
And If I want to create one, I get the "Invalid hostname" error and can not continue
What now?

Mac OS Server Open Directory Will Not Turn On

Yesterday I got the server application for Mac OS Mountain Lion. This is my first time working with apple server software and when I try to turn on Open Directory it says:
An Error occured on the server while processing a command.
The error occurred while processing a command of type 'setState' in plug-in 'servermgr_dirserv'.
I am not sure what is causing this. I am running the server on a 2010 iMac with Mountain Lion installed and I couldn't find any answers online. Any help would be much appriciated.
Edit: I would be willing to reinstall the server software and reset settings for it if I have to. (I just don't know how)

Thanks _Franck_!

Please advice mac server & os x server for open directory ?

I have plans to create an open directory server, please advise what kind of computer I can use for mac os x server?
and use the mac os x server version number?

Technically, any Mac model capable of running Mavericks (10.9.x) can be used as a Mac OS X Server system running Open Directory. That's the least of your problems, but there's not enough data in your post to tell if that's enough.
There's a world of difference between running a home server with half a dozen accounts and a 10,000 user enterprise with network accounts, network home directories, etc., etc.
You may or may not need to consider availability (e.g. run multiple Open Directory servers to manage load/failure, etc.) - a small home network might not care, and enterprise would.

Mac Os 9 using 10.4 Open directory

Hey guys, I am trying to get some of my older mac os 9 computers to see the open directory server, I am using the net boot image that apple gives out for the os 9 net-boot, (It's the apple one)
Any help on this? Just Need to get this netboot img to see the server, for the open directory

The migration guide for moving into Server 10.4 says that you can only support OS 9 clients if you migrate from 10.3. \[I think this is because the tools you need for central Server administration (macintosh manager) are not included by default in 10.4.]
OS 9 computers owe their allegiance to the Server through the use of the OS 9 Multiple Users Control Panel, with the additional setting of "User accounts on the Server" rather than the default "User accounts on this Mac".
Does any of this sound familiar?

Open Directory Migration from Mac OSX Server 10.4.11 to 10.8?

I manage an old (2004) G5 Xserve still successfully running OS X 10.4.11 with about 450 users in the Open Directory. I just purchased a Mac mini Server which will run OSX Server 10.8. I want to migrate all the user accounts from the old G5 Xserve to the new Mac Mini server. Can someone spell out the step-by-step process or point me to a document that can help me. I have searched through many of the apple discussion forum threads and Apple Server migration docs, but have not found a clear path to follow to get the old OSX 10.4.11 user accounts onto the new OSX 10.8 Mac Mini server.
The G5 server does not serve mail, print, or any other services other than the user accounts (home directories) for the users.
Help!!! Thanks.
John

If you don't mind clearing ser passwords, then I would export users from 10.4 and import into 10.8
There are some issues with service ACLs in doing this, but its still the fastest process.
If users are allowed to set their own PW, the you give provide preset pw's (either unique or common) and a URL to allow users to reset their PW.
If you need to retain passwords, what I would do is clone the 10.4 server, then upgrade it all the way to 10.8 then archive OD from that and import into a clean-install of 10.8 server.
Whataver you do, don't rely on a 10.4 to 10.8 migration, you'll want a clean 10.8 install.
The offline 10.4 -> 10.8 would allow you to retain PWs, but it creates alot of extra work for you.
