Create a user share on a central mac (not server)

Is there an easy way to automatically "map" a user's documents folder to a centralized mac (not a server)in my home?
ie, I have 3 macs in my home. On System#1, create a "shared-user-docs" and file-share it.
On System2+3, when the user logs on, the system automatically maps their documents to this "share-user-docs" location.

I've created the sharepoint on the 'file server', setup a matching local user on both 'server' and client, with permissions on that dir for the local user setup as r&w.
On client, setup a folder alias, logon with that local user, with "remember in keychain", then copied the alias to the user's dock, and to the finder (left side.)
is this correct? am I forgetting anything?
Thanks

  • Created a user in primary database, but did not propagated to standby

    I created a user scott/tiger on primary and hopefully doing some tests.
    However I did not see it at all in standby database. It has been 30 minutes.
    I ran v$archive_log and v$archive_gap, nothing is pending.
    Why this happen?

  • In Address Book, how do you create a new group under "On my Mac", not under "iCloud"?

    In Address Book there are groups under "On my Mac" and groups under "iCloud".  When I do File -> "Create new group", the new group always goes under "iCloud".  How can I make a new group to go under "On my Mac".  I also tried dragging the new group from the iCloud area to the "On my Mac" area, but that doesn't do it.  Address Book is version 6.1.3.  Thanks for your help.

    Maybe look in the Preferences > Accounts & disable the iCloud account? That should force it to create a local group then re-enable the iCloud account. I would use the 'File > Export… Addressbook archive' to make a backup before you begin, but it should be fine.
    I'm not sure 10.6.8 supported iCloud natively, so perhaps that is why it is being wierd?

  • Created/Updated User in Apex 4.0 does not match valid application users

    We are working on a new install of Apex 4.0 - new application and seeing some odd values on the page details.
    For many of the first pages in the application (1-20 and 101), click to get Page Attributes then the Name tab. The yellow box on the bottom shows each page as:
    Created: 5 weeks ago - ADMIN
    Updated: 10 months ago - <Name varies per below>
    Pages 1/5 = DEMO
    Pages 2/4 = SBKENNED
    Pages 6-10 = SBKENNED
    Page 20 = DPEAKE
    Page 101 = MIKE
    The rest of the pages have our normal developer and dates.
    Not a huge deal, but looks very odd.

    Custom Authentication is behaving like an End User account, which is good - no developer tabs at the bottom. I used something similar to Chapter 11 of the Advanced Tutorials guide:
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION acl_custom_auth (
    p_username IN VARCHAR2,
    p_password IN VARCHAR2)
    RETURN BOOLEAN IS
    BEGIN
    FOR c1 IN (SELECT 1
    FROM acl_employees
    WHERE upper(userid) = upper(p_username)
    AND upper(last_name) = upper(p_password))
    LOOP
    RETURN TRUE;
    END LOOP;
    RETURN FALSE;
    END;

  • Share downloaded movies on Mac (not from iTunes) with Apple TV

    Ciao Guys,
    Please, I need your urgent help and thanks in advance.
    A friend have some downloaded movies on her Mac but she would like to watch those on her Apple TV.
    Are there any chance for that? She has MediaPlayer on her iPad but we are searching another way for the shearing...
    I only have iTunes movies so absolutely no idea about it.
    She couldn't move those to the iTunes because of the extension of the files.
    A BIG THX for the answer if I got...

    If the Mac is very recent and running Mountain Lion it may be possible to Airplay them to AppleTV.
    If you want to access them directly on AppleTv they would hav eto be converted to an appropriate format and added to itunes.

  • Suggestions on serving LDAP from a desktop Mac (not server)

    I'd like to use a desktop machine to serve LDAP to a handful of Mac's- a mix of intel & powerpc desktops.
    Does anyone have suggestions as to how to accomplish this, or has anyone tried this?
    Thanks for any input.

    I'd install darwinports[1] and use theirport toolset to set that up.

  • Unable to enable security and create admin user after reset - px4-300d

    Our px4-300d became inaccessible a few days ago.  I couldn't get to any shares from any machine, and I couldn't get to the admin console.  When I checked the unit, there was no indication that anything was wrong (ie - the panel didn't show any failure, I didn't get any emails indicating a failure, and there were no lights offering a clue to what was wrong).  However the unit was completely frozen...the buttons on the front would not scroll through the different information on the panel.
    I attempted to reset the device using the pinhole on the back, but the device wouldn't respond, so I had to power it down using the button on the front.  When I tried to power it back up, it would come on for about one second, then immediately power off.  I pulled all 4 drives out and powered it on again without any drives.  This time it came up completely and I got a message on the panel that drives were missing.  I started putting the drives in one at a time and the device recognized them all and I was able to login to the admin console.  However, all the shares were missing and I received an email that the Storage Pool was degraded.  I rebooted the device from the admin console and when it came back up, it started reconstruction.  After a few hours, it completed, but I still had no shares and couldn't create any new shares.  I also did not see any of my users, including the admin account I was logged in with.  I tried to create a new user, and also tried creating a user I knew existed and neither one worked.  The screen would just flash but nothing would show up.  At this point, I decided to try to reset using the pinhole on the back of the device to reset the admin user so I could just create a new one.  So, now I'm stuck at the 'Enable Security' screen.  Every time I try to create an admin account, it just flashes and returns me to the same 'Enable Security' window.  
    Now what?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you are unable to get into it you will not be able to do the factory reset. You can try booting in buy removing one disk at a time. If you are still unable to then tech support should be able to supply you with the imager and try flashing it. I would keep it at 4.0.8 also,

  • Error creating CSMREG user

    while creating user CSMREG for CCMS monitoring,
    using transaction RZ21>Technical Infratructure>Configure central system-->create user CSMREG
    gives error:
    Central system not reached
    pls help

    Hi,
    The errors indicates when creating the user that first it needs to generate the profile for the role SAP_BC_CSMREG in transaction PFCG.
    Also verify that the correct password is used while creating CSMREG User.
    In RZ21--> Technical Infrastructure -->Configure Central System --> Create CSMREG User
    You need also provide the password.
    Thanks

  • Multiple users of Mail on the Mac session

    Before switching from PowerMail to Mail, I'd like to know if there's a way with Mail to store my emails in a separate folder from those of my wife so that I could access only my emails when I open Mail and my wife could only access hers. For example, can I create two Mail folders in the ~/Library (or somewhere else) and put an alias in the Dock to force Mail to open my wife's or mine without having to create different user profiles and switch between Mac sessions? Thanks!

    Thanks. I guess I'll have to pay for the upgrade and stick with PowerMail until Apple makes the creation of separate profiles part of Mail, which I don't expect to see in the near future. Too bad. But I really want to avoid creating different user accounts on my Mac. Does anyone know of a client that offers the possibility for multiple email profiles that would also happen to be freeware?

  • Unable to create the user in identity management

    Hi,
    I have installed ABAP+JAVA system as per standard ABAP will take care of java datasourse.

    In R3 for j2ee_admin user i have given the role SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION and SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION_RO
    I am phasing the issue when i create the user in identity management  :
    Current user has user creation permissions in the UME, but cannot create users in the back-end system (data source). The original and possibly untranslated message was: "No active writeable datasource found for user creation, check your Persistence Configuration.".

  • How can I create new user in such that its entries are stored both in profile server and ldap?

     

    Portal only creates a user profile locally within its native ldap server. Two ways you can approach this is to either write a custom auth module that creates a user in the ldap server at the same time or handle it through replication.

  • Mac Mini Server Benchmarks? Performance? vs. HP MediaSmart Server

    Has anyone compiled the performance or speed of the Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server?? The one thing that worries me is the 5400 RPM hard drives in the server.
    I'd like to know what the throughput is for this device and using it as central storage.
    I'm coming from an HP MediaSmart Server and I am happy with it's speed but it's feature set doesn't match what I'd like from Snow Leopard Server.

    The one thing that worries me is the 5400 RPM hard drives in the server.
    Whether or not that might be a problem would depend on exactly what you intend to use it for and what kind of load you expect in terms of users.
    I ordered a Mac mini server to evaluate as a potential replacement for our expensive leased servers. It appears to be a server in a box that's ready to configure and run. For individuals and small businesses who need a cost-effective general purpose server, it looks like a pretty good deal, at least based on the specs. Once I actually have my hands on one I'll know for certain.

  • Wireless MAC authentication server

    Currently I am doing MAC auth in the AP but since the number of clients are increasing I would like to install a central MAC auth server. What choices I have OR is Cisco ACS the only option?

    I'm looking for the same thing... I want to deploy a bunch of new Cisco AiroNet APs, but also have a considerable investment in Lucent/Agere/Wavelan AP-1000s that do RADIUS lookups for MAC addresses. I don't care about WEP key management... I just want to be able to use the same database (even if that means making a different view to format the MAC differently -- the wavelan wants it in xxxxxx-xxxxxx format) to authenticate MAC addresses from... Gave a quick look over documentation, but everything seems to be pushing towards the higher-level encryption/authentication stuff... Anyone out there done what I'm talking about?
