Edit Wiki whitelist in OS X Server 10.9.x

Anyone know how to safely edit the built in whitelist? I do not find any method to change this via the GUI. Apple was kind enough to allow us to drop in an iframe from either YouTube or Vimeo, but nothing else. I want more! Specifically, a houzz.com ideabook.

IMHO, it's definitely not safe to delete random updates underneath Software Update Server. SUS has had a history of flakies, and while I haven't seen any untoward behavior on Mavericks (yet?), I'd prefer to avoid encouraging intransigence.
Scrounge a bigger or external disk for the system or as an add-on, use the server settings (select the server in the left navigation in Server.app, select Settings, select a different location for Service Data) and if you're stuck on a budget then load and run Reposado on some bigger-capacity Linux box.
As for your question, look around with this command:
ls -R /library/server/software\ update
But I wouldn't. Disk hardware upgrades are cheap, and the fallout from potentially derailing software is expensive.

Wiki whitelist reverts on each reboot

I want to be able to include a DuckDuckGo search field as an iFrame on a Wiki page, using Server 3.1.1 on Mavericks 10.9.2. As you all know, only Youtube and Vimeo sites are allowed by default.
So I edit whitelist.plist to include the following:
<key>iframe_sources</key>
     <array>
          <string>youtube.com</string>
          <string>vimeo.com</string>
          <string>duckduckgo.com</string>
                </array>
So far so good. Only this doesn't really work. So I figure "I should probably reboot to load the settings", but when I check whitelist.plist after rebooting, the file has reverted to the original content.
And yes; I use "sudo". And yes, I save changes. I've double checked by opening the whitelist again before rebooting, and the extra line is present before reboot.
So the question is: How can I edit the whitelist and keep the changes (not to mention get it working)? Is there an additional location? Do I need to disable some kind of "protect my configuration" setting?
From the log:
Mar 27 13:18:15 OSXtest.local SubmitDiagInfo[562]:
Failed to load serverside whitelist, using cached list: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1001 "The request timed out."

NSLocalizedDescription=The request timed out.}
+H+

There is a fix to this problem --
Instead of changing the white list file in /Library/Server/Wiki/Config you have to change the whitelist.plist.default fine in the Server.app bundle (/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/private/etc/collabd/whitelist.pli st.default). I did and all works well, even after restart.
Hope that helps!

Wiki whitelist.plist not working here's the script and steps taken

1. whitelist.plist created according to instructions in wiki admin manual.
2. file placed in: /Library/Application Support/Apple/WikiServer/
3. File permissions set to allow _teamsserver access like other files in directory.
4. Webserver restarted.
5. Attempt to add <head> tag to wiki fails. Code is stripped out after save.
6. Has anyone got this working? I can't find any syntax errors in the file and I've tried the suggestion from another post to place the file in: /etc/wikid
Here's the contents of whitelist.plist
I don't know what else I can do to make it work. Any help is appreciated.

Ok. Found some more stuff. It appears that, as of 10.6.2, you can't have this in your whitelist: :
<key>protocols</key>
<key>styles</key>
What's missing? Even if you have nothing to add to an area you must have the array tags e.g.
<key>protocols</key>
<array/>
<key>styles</key>
<array/>
The problem is that the Wiki just fails if there is any problem with your whitelist, with no warning. To see the fault you have to look in the console log. There you will see something like this, which indicates a faulty whitelist file:

Multiple wiki's on the same server

Is it possible to have multiple wiki's on the same server. I do not mean having 2 wiki pages. however more like having 2 websites from the same server and each having their own wiki sites.
From just a quick play with the possibility both sites still reference from the same place so both sites would see the same wiki pages.
I was thinking of trying to use realms however the wiki info is not kept in the folder that is managed by realms

This can be done, but it really depends on the load balancer you use.
There is no recommendation from BusinessObjects and you might want to consult the load balancer vendor for instructions and support.

Editing wiki tables w/IE

I've run into an issue with editing wiki's. Using IE 6/7 groups can create tables in their wikis, but editing an existing table fails. You get an "unkown runtime error" from IE when you click the "OK" button after making changes and nothing else happens. The "Cancel" button does work. Editing tables works fine in Firefox and Safari on Windows.
Any suggetions?
Thanks!
Charles

Just a follow-up - Table editing doesn't work in Opera 9 on Windows or Mac either, although it fails in a different way.

SSH/PAM login issue with fresh install: edit wiki or raise bug?

I recently encountered an issue while setting up Arch on a headless server, and was wondering if I did something stupid, the documentation should be improved or I found a bug.
The problem was that after adding a new non-root user, I couldn't SSH into that user account. I could still login to root via SSH fine. After some research and playing around I found I was able to login by setting UsePAM to no in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. I later realised that this was because I set the login shell for this account to /usr/bin/bash, and not /bin/bash. The problem is that currently /usr/bin/bash is not in /etc/shells, and the default /etc/ssh/sshd_config sets UsePAM to yes.
As this is a new default install, and I followed the wiki during the install, I feel that this should have been documented somewhere. I don't mind changing the wiki or reporting this as a bug, just I'm not sure which is the correct course of action:
1. Should I have known to use /bin/bash and not /usr/bin/bash, i.e. the login shell needs to be in /etc/shells? => edit the wiki [1]
2. Should /usr/bin/bash be in /etc/shells? => raise a bug against filesystem [2]

The wiki should be changed. /bin/bash is the correct entry in the list of shells.
I cannot, however, remember off hand in which context this came up. I just remember this was the developers' response. So I can't point you to evidence to confirm even though I do know that is the correct answer.

Migrating wiki from one 10.6 server to another

Has anyone had any success and know the proper procedure for moving a wiki between two 10.6 servers? We're relocating it to different hardware. When I move the data store it does the "starting server" thing forever when you try to visit the web page. It doesn't look like python or wikid is doing much of anything after the first few seconds. When I delete the various .db sql lite databases as suggested for fixing other issues, they do get recreated but it still never fully starts.
The permissions are also correct on all the files so I know it is not that. Also, I did the migration using rsync3 and made sure it preserved proper permissions, extended attributes, etc.
I'm probably missing something but was wondering if anybody has done it. Thanks.

If you haven't figured the migration out already, you may want to check out this thread:
http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2205892
It looks like the path to take from everything I'm seeing, but if you've found a friendlier solution I'd be happy to give it a shot!

How can I create prefilled and editable PDF's on a Linux server with PHP?

I can create PDF's with editable form fields (extended features?) and serve those to our users and I can pre-fill form fields with data from the database using FDF, but then the PDF throws an error and the end user can't fill out the remaining fields (in Reader, it still works in Pro).
I've tried 2 open source approaches already, but the end result is either a fillable form or a pre-filled form. I can't seem to do both at the same time.
I've looked around adobe.com and frankly there's just so much stuff there that isn't even applicable it's staggering. I am completely lost and resorting to asking a question on a forum. I've searched these forms (and others), but anything related to this problem have no answers. I'm sure there's a way to do it.
If I try to set the PDF to fetch the FDF using a http post/submit (can I get it to do that when it loads?) I would still have to get an id number into the query string or object on a per document basis (some how?) and that means editing the PDF server side which breaks the structure which then throws the error on the client side and I'm right back at the beginning again.
At this point, it looks like it's going to take less time to simply create the form in HTML with a unique CSS file for the print version using a PNG for visual elements instead of a PDF. Not a great way to go for printing, but it would only take a day to set up. The time to create new forms is the issue. I don't want to spend 8 hours creating new HTML forms when I can do a PDF in 2 hours. Is it more efficient to go with an Adobe solution or roll my own HTML version?
All I want to do is help the users save some time by pre-filing part of the form so they can print it.
Any advice?

Ok, I hope someone can move this to the Adobe Reader for Android forum, where you will find the experts you need.

Office Web App Server 2013: cannot edit word document with own WOPI Server

Hi all,
I tried to build our own WOPI Server to connect to Office Web App Server 2013 SP1. Viewing documents
in IE was possible quite easy to achieve. Now it comes to editing.
When I try to edit a document, I got a german message “Sie verfügen leider nicht über die Berechtigung zum Bearbeiten dieses Dokuments“.
This means something like „Sorry, you do not have any permission to modify this document”.
I enabled editing on the OWAS-Server while setup procedure
(Until now, I only have an InternalUrl but no ExternalUrl.)
PS C:\ > New-OfficeWebAppsFarm –InternalUrl “https://win-owas...”
–CertificateName "win-owas…" –EditingEnabled
ULS log shows
BaseDocument says editing is not supported [WebEditingEnabled: True] [SupportsEditing: True] [PinnedUsersRights: Read]
So far, I implemented these three REST service methods:
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke
"GET":"api/wopi/files/{name}?access_token={access_token}"
"GET":"api/wopi/files/{name}/contents?access_token={access_token}"
"POST":"api/wopi/files/{name}/contents?access_token={access_token}"
Office Web App Server was downloaded from “Microsoft Volume Licensing Center”. I installed latest updates from Microsoft.
Did anybody succeed in writing to own WOPI an can give me some hints?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
The discovery xml contains many lines. The one for editing docx is:
<action
name="edit"
urlsrc="https://win-owas.cado.camos.de/we/wordeditorframe.aspx?"<ui=UI_LLCC=""&><rs=DC_LLCC=""&><showpagestats=PERFSTATS=""&>"
ext="docx" requires="locks,cobalt,update"/>
I am calling it this way:
<iframe
src="https://win-owas.cado.camos.de/we/wordeditorframe.aspx?WOPISrc=http%3a%2f%2fpc-ms.cado.camos.de%3a8000%2fWOPI%2fapi%2Fwopi%2Ffiles%2FAbout_Keyboard_Input.docx&access_token=5268690b-19c6-496d-8ae6-b694f8e7bd0c"
I’m not sure whether or not I implemented "locks,cobalt,update" correct, but I do not see any ‘edit-’network traffic from OWAS-Server to WOPI-Server. So I cannot debug anything. I will (re)check the articles you mentioned.
Thank you for your help.

Cannot edit wiki pages-- Exception message: Invalid field name

We have migrated from one Sharepoint 2010 environment to another Sharepoint 2010 environment and only wanted to preserve a few sites, mostly Enterprise Wiki Sites.
We have imported 5 total Enterprise Wiki Sites, all of which point to particular Term Sets in Managed Metadata.
2 wikis are pointed to term set A, 2 wikis are pointed to term set B and one wiki is pointed to term set C.
One of the wikis pointed to term set A is working, and one is not
The malfunctioning wiki has the following symptom:
Whenever you try to edit a page (new or existing) and save your changes, regardless of whether it is tagged, you cannot save your changes. When you try, you get the error below.

Go back to site
To me, it looks like there is an invalid URL, since it gives the URL path, and then there is a space, and then it also has a relative URL to /wiki/adminwiki/pages ...is this normal?
Any ideas on how to fix this is great. I don't think it has anything to do with the Managed Metadata service or the Term Store since the other wiki site (pointing to the same exact Term Set) is working normally with no problems.

To solve the problem make sure that the template you are using for the current page (with errors) has the same content type as the page. In example of the Enterprise Wiki page, I forgot to set the content type to an Enterprise Wiki page on a custom page
template I just added to the Master pages.
So what I had to do is:
go to properties of the page with errors described above and set it to be
Enterprise Wiki page
go to master pages and set the custom template to be of the same type, Enterprise Wiki page
That solved the problem

Unable to Edit Wiki Pages in Workspace

Hi All!
Recently I'm encountering an "undefined" error when I try to Publish edits to a Beehive Team Collaboration Wiki page. I've input service requests, but they are cancelled since that team doesn't handle Beehive questions. I was directed to ask my question here -- has anyone encountered this error before and found a work around?
