EMC Isilon cannot use Open Directory for SMB authentication

Hi All,
I have a EMC Isilon as a NAS and OS X server 10.6.8 with OD enabled. I have tried to integrate OD with Isilon as LDAP server for authentication. The Isilon can query the user from OD. But we got a strange problem. We can log into Isilon via ftp, http, nfs and ssh but not for SMB. Does anyone got this problem before?

Did you ever resolve this issue?

  • Use Open Directory for intranet web acces

    Is it possible to tap in to Open Directory user information from other services than those build into the server? And that way use the Open Directory authentication for our own home-made service?
    We plan to setup an intranet on our OS X 10.6 server. We're still not sure whether to use one of the popular Open Source cms/portal platforms such as Drupal or maybe even WordPress.
    1. I would like to use the users accounts in our Open Directory to authenticate to the intranet. Is that possible in any way?
    2. Or does anyone know of a way to modify e.g. the build in blog function and integrate that with another system such as Drupal or WordPress?
    I'm guessing there are blocks of code in the blog that handle user authentication. And if I keep them where they are on the server and include them in other Drupal files, it may be possible? Is the build in blog build on an open source system like some of the other services on Mac OS X server? A system I can read about anywhere?
    +Note: The build in blog or wiki service does not match our needs for an intranet. We need to customize it a lot to make i suit our needs.+
    3. Plan B could be to export our 100 users and passwords from Open Directory and import them in the intranet system. But as far as I know it's impossible to export the passwords. Right?
    +New users would then have to be added to both Open Directory and the separate intranet system in the future. That would be okay for working but not perfect Plan B.+

    Sure. I have HP OpenVMS systems that are authenticating to Mac OS X Server boxes. LDAP has a callable interface for applications written in most any active programming language, and many packages already have LDAP support.

    You need to narrow your requirements and your ideas somewhat, and work toward a list of features.
    I have some discussions posted of what I went through when I ended up picking Drupal.
    1. I would like to use the users accounts in our Open Directory to authenticate to the intranet. Is that possible in any way?
    Network servers (Apache, DHCP, etc) can authenticate to LDAP, but (once granted access via DHCP and RADIUS, or analogous) clients don't usually further authenticate.
    Within Drupal, the [Drupal|http://drupal.org] module [ldapauth|http://drupal.org/node/118092] would be worth a test. That's an available connection into LDAP. (Haven't prototyped that module, though.)
    2. Or does anyone know of a way to modify e.g. the build in blog function and integrate that with another system such as Drupal or WordPress?
    You're apparently not familiar with Drupal. You might want to learn more about it, and particularly its extensibility. Drupal can be connected to some refrigerators, if you were inclined to do so.
    I'm guessing there are blocks of code in the blog that handle user authentication. And if I keep them where they are on the server and include them in other Drupal files, it may be possible? Is the build in blog build on an open source system like some of the other services on Mac OS X server? A system I can read about anywhere?
    Including random blocks of code isn't a strategy for success. Understanding the basics of how the pieces fit together tends to be a better strategy. For Drupal, there's always the [Drupal documentation|http://drupal.org/documentation], or the available books on the CMS. Or you can call in somebody that's done this stuff.
    +Note: The build in blog or wiki service does not match our needs for an intranet. We need to customize it a lot to make i suit our needs.+
    The built-in services are limited, yes. I've been running Drupal on Mac OS X Server for years now.
    3. Plan B could be to export our 100 users and passwords from Open Directory and import them in the intranet system. But as far as I know it's impossible to export the passwords. Right?
    I would sincerely hope you don't get the passwords out of your authentication system. That would be bad. Cleartext passwords are bad news. You don't want that ability.
    +New users would then have to be added to both Open Directory and the separate intranet system in the future. That would be okay for working but not perfect Plan B.+
    That would be a hassle.
    And I've tested with Wordpress on Mac OS X Server, but haven't deployed it in production. I'll leave discussions of its features and capabilities to others. That written, you might try the [Wordpress web site|http://Wordpress.org], as I'd expect there would be discussions of LDAP there.
    I'd suggest determining your requirements, otherwise you're going to flail around given the numbers of options an alternatives here. If you have your requirements, then you have a framework to pick your tools. [Here is what I looked at when I picked Drupal|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/100].

  • I just updated Safari with version 5.1.10 and now I cannot use "open location".  Anyone else having this problem and are there any solutions?

    I just updated Safari with version 5.1.10 and now I cannot use "open location".  Anyone else having this problem and are there any solutions?

    Ok ...
    Try troubleshooting extensions and third party plugins.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

  • How to use remote directory for external table

    Hi Folks,
    I have 2 Oracle 11GR2 64 bit database installed on Win 2008 server as prod1 and prod2.
    I have one directory created on prod1 server as EXT_TAB_DIR using the path as D:\OrsDWtest_dir .
    I want to use this directory in Prod2 server and use external table using this remote directory.
    I am able to access the Prod1 directory from Prod2 machine and also i have created Network map drive as Z drive pointing to that prod1 D:\OrsDWtest_dir directory. Also i checked read and Write permissions are there . I am able to create the external table but when i try to fetch the data i m getting below error ..
    ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
    ORA-29400: data cartridge error
    KUP-04040: file IOMM_20121213_060736.csv in EXT_TAB_DIR not found
    now my doubt is this possible ? Can we use remote directory for External table ? or is there is there any alternative way to achieve same ?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Vikash Jain(DBA)

    could you confirm the name and the existence of this file "IOMM_20121213_060736.csv" ?

  • 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.

  • How to set permissions IN Open Directory USING Open Directory groups?

    Hi all,
    Apologies if I've missed this but have been searching for two days trying to figure out how to delegate permissions within the OD to a number of different OD groups and i can't seem to find any way to do this either at the command line or with WGM.
    Examples: an OD group containing those who will manage the full directory need to have permissions on all containers, child objects, and their attributes in the directory. For this one in particular I seem to be able to nest a group in the default Admin group, but this isn't really what i'm after. I need to create OD groups with the ability only to manipulate objects of class apple-computer and similarly, apple-user (really all inetOrgPerson objects). In a nutshell: how do i set permissions on specific attributes or object classes using OD groups?
    thanks for any pointers...

    I think i just answered my own question: Open Directory is OpenLDAP. slapd is all i need.

  • Memory Leak and 100% CPU in slapd process when using Open Directory OS X 10.8.5

    Has anyone seen the slapd (LDAP daemon from OpenLDAP which OS X Server uses) run away when running Open Directory? We've tried disabling replication but it doesn't seem to matter. The slapd process will start up and take up about 400MB and then at night will consume all the available memory and crashing the server.
    Any thoughts? Any benefit in upgrading to Mavericks' Server app?

  • Do I need Open Directory for multiple email addresses for Calendar users?

    Hey all,
    I have a single mac mini which I use simply as a calendar server for +/- 20 users. One day I might use Profile Manager to manage their iOS devices too. On the initial installation, we enabled Open Directory, although I'm not sure that it's required, and we have no plans re using it to manage network logins etc aside from existing calendaring.
    I'm working through a migration from a Lion Server.app install to Mavericks, and due to some data corruption issues, we'll probably just rebuild the server and reimport the users calendars.
    On my existing Lion Server installation, I can still use workgroup manager to assign multiple email addresses to calendar users, so that when a user invites another user to a calendar event using any of their email addresses (we have several variations), the invitation still gets pushed to the correct calendar user.
    On Mavericks, without installing Open Directory, it seems I can't do this (I've downloaded Workgroup Manager for Mavericks, but it obviously can't connect to a local open directory). If Open Directory is optional, I'd rather not install it, to avoid overhead and complexity, but I still need a way to manage these multiple email addresses (aliases doesn't cut it).
    Any ideas / suggestions?
    Thanks,
    D

    For Calendar server to send actual email invitations to an attendee, two things must happen:
    First, you need to configure Server.app > Calendar > Enable invitations by email.  Enabling that will bring up a wizard dialog that will step you through the IMAP and SMTP account settings.  The default values in that wizard will tell Calendar server to use the local Mail server (which you then would have to configure to use the appropriate SMTP relay, etc.).  Or you can change the wizard settings to refer to an external IMAP and SMTP server.  It is wise to use a dedicated IMAP account for Calendar server's use -- don't go using someone's personal IMAP account because there might be some "undesirable interactions", let's say.  If you need help configuring this for, say, a Gmail account, I can help with that.
    Second, the email address for the attendee must *not* be known to Calendar server, i.e. it should *not* be in the Directory.  As you probably found out, if Calendar server sees that the attendee has an email address that is in the Directory, the attendee is considered to be "local" and the invitation will be delivered directly to the attendee's calendar client.  If you simply leave those other email variations out of the Directory, Calendar server will consider that attendee "remote" and will send an actual email with a special attachment that calendar clients can understand.

    We are looking to set up an Open Directory on a Snow Leopard server in our medium sized company - we would like to use it for Single Sign On authentication but do not want to create home folders on the server. All we want OD to do is authenticate
    We have been able to authenticate using OD bound and unbound but both need home folders. Is there a way to have no home holder and still authenticate?
    thanks

    What I did was in WGM select a user account. Then select the Home tab. Click the + button to add a home folder. In the sheet that drops down, in the bottom box put /Users/username. Leave the other boxes blank. This will create a home folder locally on whatever machine the user logs into.

  • Blue screen after logout when using Open Directory-bound computers

    I'm having a weird problem with the Open Directory-bound computers that I'm managing. I recently deployed it to a lab of 30 computers (after doing initial testing with 1 computer), and I'm having one problem in particular:
    Sometimes, when a user logs out of one of these OD-bound computers, the login window fails to appear. The user is logged out, the desktop for that user disappears (being replaced with the standard blue desktop), but the login window doesn't appear.
    What's strange is that Remote Desktop says these computers are at the login window, and I can manipulate them via Remote Desktop as if nothing is wrong (I can restart, shut down, etc.). But I can't do anything at the computer locally with the keyboard or mouse -- if I try to bring up the shutdown dialog with Control-Power (which works sometimes in these situations), it doesn't work.
    This doesn't happen all the time or with the same computers. But it happens often enough that it's a bit of an annoyance -- I usually just restart them from Remote Desktop to get the login window to appear. (The other problem is that sometimes I'm not around to fix it, and so if people come in when I'm not around, they have to force shutdown the computer using the power button and then start it back up to get to the login window.)
    I've also noticed that some of the computers have been taking a lot longer to login, which seems to suggest that the computers are trying to access the server or something, but the server is always up and is usually very reliable (with a few exceptions here and there).
    Any ideas?
    G4 eMacs   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    We are having the same problem with our lab of about 30 eMacs. All are computers bound to and managed by the server. Have you found any solutions yet.
    Anybody?

  • Authenticate windows users accessing os x client using open directory?

    I need to setup an OS X client machine (10.4.6) so that windows users (XP) can access folders based on their open directory credentials. (Using OS X server, open directory, windows PDC). If I turn on windows sharing in system preferences on the mac, it will only share local home folders to users with local accounts - not what I need. Any ideas? thanks.

    Thanks!  So now I see Open Directory, but it seems like it should be listed under the Server app with all the other services...
    Anyhow, I seem to remember a way to administer the users and groups.  This app shows me the status of the services, logs, settings.  The Server app, if I click on Add Users button, then click "connect to it" to supposedly connect to the directory server, it won't take my credentials.  I always get "Cannot authenticate to server.  Please authenticate by entering the name and password of a user account in this server's directory."
    Connect anonymously doesn't seem to do anything, it doesn't even dismiss the dialog.
    So what am I missing?

  • I cannot use multiple tabs for Hotties For Sale. I was able to do this until yesterday but now the same tab is duplicated each time. How can I fix this?

    I play an app called Hotties for Sale. Until yesterday I was able to operate several accounts on the game simultaneously by using separate tabs for each account. Now I can only open one account at a time with a single tab. When I open a second tab I just get a duplicate of the previous one. How can I fix this please?

    Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor.  The pro version of iMovie.
    Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow.  It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them.  You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
    When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
    Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
    Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version).  Personal preferences showing here.

  • I need to download a version of Firefox that is optimized for Yahoo! but I cannot use Firefox 4 for Yahoo! because it doesn't support Norton 360 as of yet. Any suggestions?

    If you do have any suggestions, where can I find it? The only place I know of is the http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html web site and you can only get version 3.6.16 there and it's NOT optimized for Yahoo!. Please help!
    Yahoo! keeps sending me the following message in a box on my screen along with the links to Firefox 4 and IE : Attention: Please upgrade to the latest Yahoo! optimized browser to ensure the best Yahoo! experience. But, as I stated in the question above, I cannot use Firefox 4 yet because it does NOT support Norton 360. Plus, I don't trust IE8 to use Facebook!
    Thanks for any help you can give me! Your very prompt attention to this question is greatly appreciated as I am sort of at a standstill before moving on with my work.
    Regards,
