Domain Names - UURRRGGGGG

Okay. I tried associating one of my domain names with my .mac account, but never finished it.
I never put in the cname with godaddy.com. But now my domain points at my .mac account EVEN THOUGH I have removed the domain through the .mac settings...
HELP? I just want my domain back and not pointing to my .mac account....

I think I had the same problem. It was poor instructions on the .mac personal domain wizard. If so, then you need to continue to the next screen in the wizard to see the button that allows you to disconnect the .mac domain serving.
Try going back into .mac > personal domain .. it probably shows a button that says 'continue'.
Click the continue button, then look for a button that says something like 'remove personal domain'

Is it possible to restrict the ability to e-mail a pdf outside a specific domain name?

Hello,
I am trying to find a solution to a friends problem. She has a quarterly publication that she sends out to big banks and financial institutions. Recently she has had some problems with press leaks. I am trying to find some security options for her however the task is difficult. Because these institutions have firewalls I am not sure encrypting or tracking is the right answer because the publication might not make it through. She wants users to be able to print the publication because many of the readers are older and prefer to read during their commute and at home. Essentially I am looking for any ways to make readers think twice about sharing the information. I thought if I could restrict e-mail to a specific domain name that would help this way users can only e-mail within their specific company. If any one has any suggestions please feel free to share.

Thank you Todd, I was able to get it to work but I do have a few more questions...

Postfix relay=none, ... status=deferred (Host or domain name not found...

Hi,
I actually posted this question 2 weeks ago but under the wrong topic. So, first of all wanted to apologise for double-posting... but since no one replied, I thought I'd try again under the right topic.
I've been trying to solve this all day today (that was Feb 26th). I used to be able to send emails but for some reason it does not work anymore. At first I thought it was a problem with php (I use entropy pack php 5.2.6) but after searching the topic, I think it is a problem with my network. BTW OS is 10.5.5 and Postfix version 2.4.3
First of all, after computer restart, I don't think postfix starts automatically
Running 'sudo postfix start' gives me:

Dynamic IP addresses with DynDNS Updater (or equivalent) makes it pretty darned reliable, particularly if you buy DynDNS' Mailhop Forward service, which prevents the likes of roadrunner.com and aol.com from blocking mail coming from your server just because it lives in dynamicIP-land. Way cheaper than paying your ISP extra for a static IPA, too, and totally acceptable for low-volume, residential-based servers for personal not-for-profit use.
Regarding reliable delivery to a dynIPA server, you are only at risk of non-receipt for perhaps a few minutes immediately following when your ISP rotates your WAN IPA, until DynDNS Updater (or equivalent) updates the DynDNS (or equivalent) servers with your new WAN IPA. But that's really not a problem because I think all, well, okay, most, smtp servers will queue for a redelivery attempt if the initial delivery attempt just happens to occur at that time.
I wouldn't suggest this practice for high-volume enterprise-class servers or for people trying to run a bootleg mail server business for profit (besides, the ISP would shut it down as an abuse of terms of service, anyways), but for low-volume, residential-based servers for personal use and enjoyment, which I suspect is the case for the O.P., I can't say that I find anything unreliable about my dynamic IP-based mail server.

Which application is not working, your application or EM or both or somethingn else? Tell us the complete version, error information and also post the output of

The publishing settings page does not open when I click on the domain name and the iWeb application will not stay on the dock.

Hello,
I have been trying to help a friend who is having problems publishing her website. (She has done so previously using Mobile me)
There seem to be a couple of things wrong with the application,
1 if I drag the application icon onto the dock, it won't stay there
2 I wanted to change where her site is published to (she has bought a domain name and has a hosting service now) but when I click on the domain name I do not get the "site publishing settings page" so we can't enter the new details. All that comes up is the main page of her website.
I would suggest uninstalling and re-installing Iweb, to see if that clears the problem, but as Iweb came pre-installed with her Imac, I am not sure that we can do this.
Any ideas please?
she's using and imac 24 in (approx 4 years old) and running osx 10.5.8

NO - not correct. Even if you are still using iWeb 08, you can still publish to another host and not MobileMe. You do this by selecting the option 'Publish to a local folder" and this will publish the site to your desktop and you can then use an ftp programme such as Cyberduck to upload your site to your host.
MobileMe will not be here after the end of June, so you will have to find alternative hosting. They are not taking any new subscriptions.
On new Macs, iLife 11 is pre-installed, but only iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand are included, not iWeb and iDVD. The Apple Online store is not selling the boxed version of iLife 11 any longer, so if you want to upgrade to iLife, then you'll have to look online at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk for a boxed set of either iLife 09 or iLife 11. Both contains iWeb 09, which is what you would want.

Reverse proxy to applications on a server by just domain names possible?

Hi All
I am looking for a solution to set up a single server, that hosts four J2EE web applications running on a Glassfish application server with just only one IP address.
When a user wants to use an application, he/she can just type URL without specifing port and path, and the corresponding web application will be displayed accordingly as shown below
http://sub1.domain1.com -- > webapp1 at port 9100
https://sub2.domain1.com -- > webapp2 at port 9200
http://sub1.domain2.com -- > webapp3 at port 9300
https://sub2.domain2.com -- > webapp4 at port 9400
I am wandering whether I could use reverse proxy of Sun Java System Web Server 7 to route the traffic from the domain names to their own application on Glassfish as shown above? I tried by creating two HTTP listeners to listen at port 80, and 443 respectively, but I could not access different applications based on domain names without specifying specifix path or port.
Is there any recommended resources or example of the mapping, or any other suggested solution?

Thank you for your reply nsegura. I created 4 different virtual servers as you suggested and it worked :)
However, I have a problem in reverse proxy base on path.
The scenario is below
I have an J2EE application that needs to be deployed in three different environment (production, training, testing). It
is the same application for three environments, so I want them to have the same context-root. I want to use Sun Web Server 7.0 to reverse proxy to the application in each environment based on path, not URL redirect. Example of URL are shown below
https://sub.domain3.com/app -- > http://localhost:9500 (with context-root /app)
https://sub.domain3.com/training/app -- > http://localhost:9600 (with context-root /app)
https://sub.domain3.com/testing/app -- > http://localhost:9700 (with context-root /app)
So far, it works if I set context-root of the application in each environment differently
https://sub.domain3.com/app -- > http://localhost:9500 (with context-root /app)
https://sub.domain3.com/training/app -- > http://localhost:9600 (with context-root /training/app)
https://sub.domain3.com/testing/app -- > http://localhost:9700 (with context-root /testing/app)
I am wandering whether there is a solution with Sun Web Server 7 that I can use to achieve reverse proxy of the same application in different environments without having to modifying context-root for each environment and use URL redirect?
I was thinking about using rewriting path with reverse proxy, but I did not see this function under reverse proxy tab.
Any ideas?

How do I use my own domain name with Mac server with iWeb

For a number of years I have had my own domain name that when typed into a browser it would redirect the browser to my site on the .Mac server. I hear with iLife ’08 I can have my own domain name hosted by .Mac so I know longer have to have the long addresses for each pages the I have now for my site (i.e. the http://web.mac.com/thewildhearts/WildheartPhotography/NatureGalleries.html). How do I go about getting my domain name (wildheartphotography.com) so that Mac will host it and do I need to notify the current host that Mac will be hosting my site now?
Thanks. I really appreciate the help I get from this forum.
Pat

It's very easy, really. You go to your domain control and redirect the address. IPower, for example points the domain name very easily: you just type in the URL of your site and it will point to your mac server.
I've used GoDaddy before and it is a bit more difficult to "point".

Domain name, host name - what goes where?

So to clear the pipeline and reduce the amount of configuration, I decided to get rid of my router and plug my server directly into the modem, thus using the server as the gateway/router for other computers in my home. Hopefully this will eliminate the need for an internal/private network DNS configuration as well as an external/public DNS configuration.
I have a registered public domain name of N.com and an associated public MX record for this domain which is also named N.com (as opposed to mail.N.com or something similar).
I reinstalled the Leopard Server software and when the setup asked for a "primary DNS name" I named it N.com (the same name as my registered public domain). I went into firewall settings in the Server Admin and "allowed"/opened port 25 as well as 80 for email and web services respectively.
When I looked in the Mail settings the default domain name is "localdomain" and the default hostname is N.com (the same as my registered public domain). Default user addresses are [email protected] I have no problem seeing the server's webpages from the internet, but I still cannot get any mail from the internet to show up in my user accounts.
What more do I need to do?

an educated guess-
does the client's email system have something like Spam
Assassin filtering
incoming mail?
is this cgi script matt wright's formmail?
If yes to both- Spam Assassin is rating the formmail
generated email as spam
based on the subject line and default first line of text in
the message
body.
A fix-
1) hand edit the formmail script, find and change:
Below is the result of your feedback form
to any other text
2) use the optional field to change the subject line from the
default.

Domain name/host name/external hosts

I have an external website, for argument sake: waterworld.net
I want to host the mail internally, and i have set up DNS records with my name registrar that has the A record point to my external web host, and I have created an MX record of "mail.waterworld.net" which points to the ip address of where I am hosting the mail server.
Should i give my server a name that looks like a fqdn based on my website? or should it be called something simple like "server.loc"? currently, that is what I have done.
Then in the general settings of the mail server, under Domain name (where it reads: enter the LOCAL internet domain name), should I use:
server.loc
waterworld.net, or
mail.waterworld.net
Then the next option, Hostname, I am guessing that is one of:
waterworld.net, or
mail.waterworld.net
I have done a search, and the closest I have found was this post, but it's a different question based around a similar situation.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10580535&#10580535
I am not a total newbie, and have been running my own mail server for a few years now, and I'm pretty sure I didn't do it correct last time, so thought I would try and get it right from the start this time. Sorry guys, if this is a really basic question, but I want to get this right.
thanks

Then in the general settings of the mail server, under Domain name (where it reads: enter the LOCAL internet domain name), should I use:
[snip]
This field sets the primary domain of the server - the domain it accepts mail for. in this case it would make sense to set 'waterworld.net'.
Then the next option, Hostname,
This sets the name it advertises itself as when sending outgoing mail. This should be mail.waterworld.net.

Domain name/"primary DNS" name/mail host name/mail server name/mx name

Hi,
I have registered my domain name (N.com) with an external dns server and created an MX record (mail.N.com) for it as well. My server sits behind a router and internet traffic is port(80)-forwarded to my server's fixed internal ip address (I can access my webpages from the internet just fine). When I initially setup the server I was asked to give it a "primary DNS name." I naturally assumed that N.com was supposed to be entered here, but that just caused all kinds of problems (though I still do not understand why). So I reinstalled and currently have server.N.com as the primary DNS name of the server (although it shows up in Server Admin and Workgroup Manager as server.local--why is that?)
I have had no luck getting any email from the internet with the default settings in mail services (domain name of N.com and host name of server.N.com). Having no luck with the defaults, I assumed that maybe I needed to change the host name to "mail.N.com" so that it matched the MX record. I also changed the user preferences in Workgroup Manager to receive mail from mail.N.com--but still no luck. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong and how come none of the Mail Service literature mentions anything about what a mail "host name" is supposed to be? Is it supposed to be the same as the "Mail Server" name that Workgroup Manager asks each user for? and is it the same as the MX record name?
I am just needing some help to connect all these variously named, but undefined, dots.
Also, how come I can access webmail from the internet using www.N.com/webmail but can't do it from any computers within my physical network (I have to use IPaddress/webmail or server.local/webmail)?
Also, should my user email addresses be [email protected] or [email protected] (which is the current default)?
Thanks in advance and good luck!
John

I had been told by a friend that ... regular email coming in from the internet would go through port 80
Unfortunately you were misinformed.
My MX record needs the extra subname (such as "mail") in front of the domain name, right?
Not at all. A MX record for 'N.com' is entirely valid (expected, in fact).
An MX record tells remote mail servers where to send mail for any domain/subdomain. If you think about it, let's say you worked for Apple and you wanted people to be able to send email to [email protected], well then you need an MX record for 'apple.com'.
You can see if you dig MX apple.com that they actually have 9 MX records, but the point still stands.
Now, you might also have MX records for subdomains so that you can have [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc. Each of these subdomains would need a separate MX record.
So, in general, for any set of email addresses @[anything.]domain.com you have a MX record telling remote mail servers where to send that mail.
Of course the MX record name is mail.N.com, but I think you are implying that the in the Mail settings of Server Admin where it asks for domain name all I need to put there is the N.com, right?
What I mean is that you need to set the domain name to whatever domain name you expect to receive mail at.
If you want users to have email addresses in the form of [email protected], then you enter 'N.com'.
If you want users to have email addresses in the form of [email protected] then you enter 'mail.N.com'.
If you want both forms, enter one in the main domain and add the other(s) in the Advanced -> Hosting -> Local Host Aliases section.
Is there anything in the Mail settings that needs to have the full MX record name (mail.N.com)?
Yes. Either the 'domain name' or the 'Local Host Aliases' needs to contain the same thing as your MX record. That's because the MX record tells remote servers to send mail to this machine, but the machine won't accept the mail unless it is configured to do so.
What is the "host name" supposed to be?
This should be the name that remote servers see when this machine tries to send outgoing mail.
Ideally this should match the reverse DNS of your IP address, that way when it connects to a remote server it says "Hi, I'm $hostname" and the remote server can lookup the machine's IP address and see the same result. This will reduce the problem of remote servers thinking you're sending them spam.
If you only have a single IP address then this probably needs to be something like 'N.com'. If you don't have control over your reverse DNS then you're going to run into a problem.
Also in the user accounts (in Workgroup Manager) what should the "mail server name" be? Is it the host name or the domain name?
Off hand, I don't know.
Also, why are all the default user email addresses [email protected] (the name I gave the server at setup)? Why doesn't the user accounts create [email protected] as the default address?
Presumably because the mail server says it is 'server.N.com' and therefore any accounts on that machine would be [email protected]. Changing the domain name (as above) should fix that.

Lync 2013 /w Edge not working properly (internal/external same domain name and all "external" users"

Hi,
I've got some issues with a Lync 2013 setup.
The config consists of 2 lync servers. One FE and one Edge. All seems to work except audio in meetings and Sip.
The setup is like this (fake ip's used):
Front End:
Internal IP: 172.16.0.10
External IP: x.x.185.10
All ports open in Cisco ASA
internal AD DNS: dialin/lync/meet/lyncdiscover to Front end internal ip. edge/lsedge/sip points to edge internal ip
EDGE:
Interal IP: 172.16.0.11 (no gateway configured)
External IPS: x.x.185.11, x.x.185.12, x.x.185.13
All external IP's are direct internet facing, no NAT (a firewall is in place).
All external interfaces are using a wildcard certificate.
All server are running in a remote data center, so basically no internal users. We all connect to the external interfaces. The Windows domain name (AD) is the same as our External DNS (companyname.com).
Autodiscover works, we can logon, chat but there is no audio. The audio test failes. Also SIP is not working with a sip trunk.
External DNS: sip/webconf/av are pointing to their external ip's. sipexternal is a cname to sip. lyncdiscover/lync/dialin/meet all point to the Frond end External ip.
_sip._tls/_sipfederationtls.tcp/_xmpp-server.tcp all point to the sip.companyname.com ip.
I just can't figure out what is wrong.

@PSingh123 I'll try the logs in a minute and get back with the results.
@PaulB_NZ Thanks for the input. In my opinion the FE does need an external IP. How else will you be able to connect if you are a remote worker?
The Edge is (asfar as i know) needed for Enterprise voice and Federation with other (external) sip domains. It's not needed for basic (chat/video/whiteboard etc) Lync functionality for both internal and external (remote) users.
The Edge is to communicate with services/users outside the origanisation.
I do still think that the basic topology (FE with internal IP and Nat'ed external ip working with an Edge with internal IP and 1 external IP nat'ed to 3 DMZ ip's) is correct in this case.
I can be wrong and in that case would like to be pointed to the correct configuration.

Same internal and external domain names - AGAIN!

Hi all-
Like many of you, I am confronting the problem of having the same FQDN for both my Active Directory domain and Internet domain. For the sake of discussion, let's call the domain rlh.com.
I need to access an externally-hosted website on the rlh.com domain. The site is coded exclusively to use rlh.com and NOT
www.rlh.com. Therefore, the old trick of adding a static www A record on my internal DNS server will not work.
It looks like another option is to install IIS on my DC and then configure some type of forwarding to the external site. While this might work, frankly, I don't want IIS on my DC. It's a DC, not a web server.
Yet a third option, correct me if I'm wrong, looks to be using some type of "split DNS." Though I have not read the particulars (yet) of this solution, I am suspicious of it causing DNS inefficiencies.
All of these solutions look to me to be workarounds. I am preparing to install a new DC (upgrading from 2003 to 2008 R2) and want to FIX the problem, not work around it. That said, it looks like I have two options:
1. Rename my existing 2003 AD domain using rendom
2. Install the new 2008 R2 DC with the new domain name, setup domain trust between the old and new domains, and then use ADMT.
Can someone please comment on my logic here? Does anyone have experience with both of the two options? Is one less painful than the other?
As I preparatory step, I have migrated from my onsite Exchange 2003 server to Office 365. Exchange is no longer present in my organization, though some slight "remnants" may remain in Active Directory. Other than Exchange, I have a
Hyper-V host, 2 SQL Servers, and 3 RDS servers present in my environment.
Thanks.

I realized this was answered, but I would like to add the following comprehensive blog on this subject.
Can't Access Website with Same Name (Split Zone or no Split Brain)

DNS - Can't resolve website address because it is the same as domain name:

Our internal users can't resolve a web address because their domain name is the same as the address. I'm hoping I can get some advice on what I should do on the DNS server. My first challenge is, when I look-up address on Arin.net it does not
come up with anything. CUAMERICA.COM is the domain. I don't even know the ip address it is resolving to.

If I ping www.cuamerica.com I get 38.108.184.171, so in your DNS, in the Forward Lookup Zone for CUAMERICA.COM create a new Host (A) record, call it
www and give it the IP address of 38.108.184.171

Internal Domain names

I know what a domain name is for the external web, but what forms of words are acceptable to OS X Server for an intranet? I don't want to have to pay to register a domain name acceptable to the rest of the web, I just want something meaningful for my intranet such as "diary" or "wiki" - or even an IP address alone.
Do they all have to end in .local or will a single word be OK? Should they all start with http://www. or something else? OS X Server help just assumes any website being set up is for world use, and there are no instructions if you just want to set up a private intranet visible only to people on the internal network but invisible to the outside world.
Where can I go for guidance/what formats are acceptable, please?
Many thanks.

Internal domains can be whatever you want. It doesn't have to be a .com, .net or even .local
If you want you can have your own domain .bar then you can have foo.bar as a hostname in that domain.
Since it's only used internally it won't have any impact on anyone outside of your network.
Similarly, if you really wanted to, you could call your own domain 'apple.com' and then have a hostname of basilisk.apple.com pointing to your machine. Of course, this would impact your ability to get to any other .apple.com hostname, so you might not want to do that, but it is possible.
As for the 'single word' question, by definition a hostname is a component of your domain which would mean that 'foo' isn't strictly valid, however, you can configure your machine (System Preferences -> Network -> TCP/IP -> Search Domains) to automatically append specific domain names to any lookup. If you set this to 'bar' then a lookup for 'foo' would automatically look up 'foo.bar' and you'd get the result you're looking for.
Finally, for now, there is no requirement to have 'www' as pointing to your web server. That's just a common convention used around the internet. It's just as valid to have fred.bar as your web server and barney.bar as your mail server if that's what you want.
