Error creating Users in Lion Server

To add to the 100's of errors I am having with this thing, this one is the most annoying.
I seem to be having all sorts of problems with the passwordservice when creating new users using the server.app or the workground manager.
The error looks like this visually on server app:
It reads like this in the server log:
Aug 1 21:44:27 My-Server PasswordService[237]: -[AuthDBFile setPassword:atSlot:obfuscate:setModDate:]: ldap_add_ext_s slot information returned -9 for tete (7c547636-bcca-11e0-b70f-00254bc5b256)
Aug 1 21:44:27 My-Server PasswordService[237]: -[AuthDBFile getPasswordRec:putItHere:unObfuscate:]: no entries found for 7c547636-bcca-11e0-b70f-00254bc5b256

It looks like this on workgroup manager:
And this:
Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

I had the same problem today with 10.7.3 11D50b:
I couldn't apparently create users, network or local ones, due to some kind of CAuthProtocol error shown on PasswordServer Error log.
I also found in logs: ldap_add_ext_s slot information returned -9.
Neither Server.app, WGM or System Preferences could create usable users: user record were generated but no password was assigned to them.
Disabling WebDAV-Digest didn't work, while I ended up enabling SSL in the LDAP pane in Open Directory, since the issue seemed CA related.
I can now create users, assign password and change them via web interface.

SQL Developer Error Creating User Home

SQL Developer was running fine on my Windows 7 64-bit machine until Monday morning. Now when I kick it off (from my Desktop shortcut), I get a small box saying: "Error creating user home in directory C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer".
There is no error number, and I have been unable to find this error in the SQL Developer documentation. What does it mean? It's possible that updates were pushed to my machine over the weekend (unknown -- network sysadmins are elsewhere), but I would have thought I would have gotten a different message if there were compatibility problems. Have I accidentally deleted a necessary file from my local SQL Developer folder? My connection databases are Oracle 11g.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi,
Here is a thread on the same issue, but so old that the advice it gives is no longer accurate:
Re: Error creating user home in directory D:\Program Files\raptor\jdev.
So let's assume you no longer have write access to your own Windows user directory. To workaround that just add the following to one of the conf files in the SQL Developer installation folder. For example, to run SQL Developer from a flash drive, I modified my E:\sqldeveloper\ide\jdk.conf to include
AddVMOption -Dide.user.dir=../../.sqldeveloperSo that the user home is E:\.sqldeveloper

Create users under Administration Server Create user and Refresh users options are disabled

We have installed and configured 11.1.2.2 successfully, Essbase in standalone mode.
When we try to create users under Administration Server Create user and Refresh users options are disabled. Please let me know how to create EAS users?
Thanks,
Satheesh.

Please find below response.
1.You can create users from EAS console using maxl, if you have not externalized the users .
When we create using Maxl it will create for 'ESSBASE Servers' users but we want to create additional administrator users under 'Administrator Services' --> 'Users'. At the moment default 'Admin' users is created under 'Administrator Services' --> 'Users'.
2. you have installed your essbase in a stand -alone mode , then the option of creating users will be enabled and you can give appropriate provision to applications.
Yes. But the create users is disable for Admin.
3. Through which url are you accessing EAS console is it http://Servername:19000/workspace/index.jsp ?
http://prod-server:10080/easconsole/console.html
Please suggest.

Fresh Install of Mountain Lion how do I export users from Lion Server

I've been having some issues with Lion Server, mainly Kerberos related and Profile Manager. So I want to start fresh with Mountain Lion.
I've installed ML and Server, and profile manager is working now for the first time (yay!)
Now I want to Import all my existing Open Directory users from Lion, I don't want to Import the entire OD though because I think some of my kerberos issues will just get carried over to ML.
I would like to just export the Users to a file then use ML server to import users from file, but I can't see an option to export in Lion Server, I have tried doing it from WGM on Lion but the 'users' file is not recognised by ML server

Great thanks for the reply, I'll try it tonight when everyone has logged off.
Yeah I was very pleased initially with kerberos on Lion, it worked great to start with, now I'm just getting expired tickets for a default realm when some users log in, yet other users continue to work fine.
I was planning to slowly install Mountain Lion Server and test is thouroghly but I've had a bit of a disaster that if forcing me to go live with ML server quicker than I wanted to!
Basically because on Lion Server I have all the Service Data on a separate drive, and I upgraded to ML server on a backup copy of Lion Server just to see what it was like, though now I've rebooted the original Lion drive but half of the services are now screwwed up because the ML Server must have changed them, so things like Wiki Server and Profile Manager are now broken from the Lion Server boot, they just show "Error Reading Settings"
I realise now I should have moved the Service data back to the local drive before doing a test upgrade so I wouldn't have messed it up! but now it seems like my best way forward is a fresh install of ML Server

HT200088 Error Reading Settings in Lion Server Profile Manager

Whenever I try to use Profile Manager in Lion Server, it says "Error Reading Settings". Can anybody help?

I did a clean install of Lion/Lion Server, but I ran ino the same problem too with "Error Reading Settings" for both the profile manager and the wiki.
INVESTIGATION: I checked to see if the postgres database (which I presumed was were the settings were being read from).
# sudo serveradmin fullstatus postgres
postgres:dataDirHasBeenInitialized = yes
postgres:PG_VERSION = "9.0.4"
postgres:dataDir = "/var/pgsql"
postgres:postgresIsResponding = no # !!! why isn't it responding???
postgres:dataDirIsDirectory = yes
postgres:PGserverVersion = 0
postgres:dataDirExists = yes
postgres:setStateVersion = 1
postgres:state = "RUNNING"
PROBLEM: The postgres service hadn't been started properly; I found this by doing the following:
# sudo serveradmin stop postgres
postgres:state = "STOPPED"
# sudo serveradmin start postgres
postgres:error = "CANNOT_START_SERVICE_TIMEOUT_ERR"
FIX: The postgres service couldn't create the log file because it didn't have permission. I did this to fix it, then simply restarted it and all was well:
# sudo chmod 777 /Library/Logs/
# sudo serveradmin start postgres
postgres:state = "RUNNING"
I hope this helps someone.

Error creating user defined tables: Ref count (-1120)

Hi all !
I have to create user defined tables per code, so I wrote 2 main functions, first to create a table (with TableName,TableType and TableDescription properties)and and second to add fields (to a certain table which is sent as parameter).
I call these functions to create multiple tables. For the first 6 tables it works totally ok. But beginning from the 7th table it gives that "Ref count for this object is higher then 0. " (-1120) error. All parameters are ok just as the first 6 tables.
Found such an explanation like below in help files.
The DI API allows only one instance of a meta data object at a time. This maintains data integrity by preventing any manipulation of a business object while modifying the object's user fields. Therefore, verify that no other DI object is active except the meta data object.
But why do I get such an error after sixth call of the function (but not beginning from the second table )?

Gül,
Have you tried doing some grbage collection?

Error creating user home in directory

Hello All,
I installed the Jdeveloper with patch p8751878 to work on 11.5.10.2. This is on a win7 64bit machine.
My environment and system variables have the following:
Variable= JDEV_USER_HOME
value=C:\p8751878_11i_GENERIC\jdevhome\jdev
When I try to launch the Jdeveloper getting the following message:
Eror creating user home in directory C:\p8751878_11i_GENERIC\jdevhome\jdev. Please restart JDeveloper with a new user home specified.
Error stack shows the following
java.io.IOException: Error copying file C:\p8751878_11i_GENERIC\jdevhome\jdev\system9.0.3.5.1453\Classic.kdf

Any suggestions as to what could be causing this (pls. excuse if this has been asked before..)?
Thanks,

Does anyone know how Raptor determines where it will create it's user home???
On our development network I keep getting the noted error message, regardless of Windows 2003, 2000, or XP. So Im starting to think we may have some Windows policy that is preventing the creation of the .raptor folder that Raptor creates when it first starts up.
On my laptop, which is not tied into the development network, I dont have this problem.

Win7 Offline Files sync error after upgrade to Lion Server 10.7.2

Symptom: client is a Win7 laptop, the server is Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion Server with SMB and AFP shares. Win7 Offline Files stopped working after I upgraded Snow Leopard (non-server version) to Lion Server 10.7.2. After updating to 10.7.3, the problem persists. When syncing, it gives thounsands of error like this: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. WinXP clients are fine with the Offline Files function though.
I Googled and studied online for several days now and it might be related to the "Oppurtunistic Locking", or "Oplocks" for short, in the SMB protocol. Since Apple has re-written Samba, there's no "smb.conf" anymore to change the Oplocks setting. Maybe it's possible to change the setting in "com.apple.smb.server.plist"?
From the Internet:
1. Oplocks should be DISABLED on the server if there is any other file sharing protocol (AFP, etc.) other than SMB.
2. Offline Files will NOT work properly if Oplocks is disabled on the server side.
3. It was possible to config oplocks setting in smb.conf in Mac OS X versions prior to Lion but now there's no such config file.
My Question:
1. Does anyone else have similar problems?
2. Is it related to the Oppurtunistic Locking thing?
3. Is Oppurtunistic Locking enabled or disabled in Lion Server by default?
4. If it's related to Oplocks, how can I change the setting on the server?
5. I've noticed that the authentication from Windows PCs to the SMB share on the Lion Server is much slower then in SL. Could this somehow be related to my problem?
Thanks for your time! :-D

Any luck getting the info on SMBX parameters like OPLOCKS ? This is apparently causing an issue with Autodesk Revit. I am resorting to installing SMBUP.
There is an article that describes this method for altering the Lion smbd configuration parameters for honoring ACLs:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.server AclsEnabled -bool NO

OIM - Error Creating users

I created a group (useradmin) which has two users assigned and this group is added to all the organization as admin group.
The group has two menu items to create/manager users. All permissions have been added to this group.
An admin user logs on to create another oim user. Enter all the details and clicks on "Create".
An error shows up on the create user screen indicating create user failed. The error is:
DOBJ.GRP.PERMISSION_ERROR
You do not have sufficient privileges to assign this group.
however, the user is actually created in OIM but looks like it did not.
Can someone please tell me what the issue is?
The group has ALL permissions and they are Read/ Write perms on all objects. Every Org has this group added to it as administrative group. Not sure what else to try.
OIM 9.1.0.2 BP05, WL 10.3.2

Hi,
As per the error, while creating the user, it is trying to make user member of some group (can you check do you have any rules created to make groupmembership) and the logged in user wont have permission on that group, by default when user is created it will be member of All Users group check for that one also
Thanks,

Error creating user in UME or visual administrator

I am trying to create solman_admin userid in J2ee. I tried first in UME - Identity Management signing in as j2ee_admin when I click on create user I get
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.".
I then tried signing into the Visual Administrator with j2ee_admin and creating a user there but still get an error message cannot create user. I believe the error message above is saying that j2ee_admin does not have access to update in ABAP? Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

Hi
You are rt, check for datasource used, probably it is database. change the UME datasource from database to ABAP and connect to your production client

Are there some simple start up instructions for a first time user of Lion Server?

Our small office has been using MobileMe to share one central calendar on a mac mini with 4 users MBPro users. We were also using a 3rd party application (Address Book Server (ABS)) to share a central Address Book contact database with the same 4 users. It was all working fine. Then we upgraded all our systems to Lion and iCloud. Calendar sharing works fine, but it broke our contact sharing. ABS used the old sync capability. Now all our contacts are on iCloud, and they won't sync anymore.
Does anyone know if there is a way to share contacts among several users in iCloud? (I haven't found one.)
We are now considering Lion Server, but all we need it for is sharing contacts (shared calendars under iCloud works fine).
Can we install Lion Server for just contacts and continue to use iCloud for calendar sharing?
Is there some simple Start up documentation available for Lion Server that I can read before I jump into it?
How much time is it really going to take to install and manage a server system?
We are not IT professionals. Just a small office of professionals, who want the conveninece of shared calendars and shared contacts. We all have our own calendars and contacts as well, and we want to be able to see them on all our devices: MBPros, iPhones, iPads etc.
Thanks so much for your help.

You can use Lion Server in place of the MobileMe/iCloud account. That would be your best bet. Lion Server has built into it an address book server and a calendar server which would take the place of what you are currently using.
Lion Server is designed to be quite easy to setup and run. It is pitched as being meant for people who "don't have an IT Department." Honestly, most of it is just on/off switches. If you have a Mac Mini and all of your users are on their MacBook Pros, you pretty much have the hardware necessary. Assuming all of your machines can run Lion, you should be good to go.
The most technical you might have to get is to get a domain name from some place like godaddy.com. The Server App actually walks ou through the whole setup process step-by-step. Not to mention that there is a vibrant community of users to be help out. And once it is up and running, there is very little you should have to do to it.
There are a lot of technical components to any server platform, and Apple is no exception, however they do a good job at hiding it. And at $49, you do not have much to lose. Plus, you only really need to use the components you want. If all you want in address book server and ical server, then just use those. You find you want to start sharing documents, turn on file sharing. It is up to you. Don't feel pressured to have to use every component.
Apple has posted they "Advanced Administration Guide" which has a lot of good information in it, and it is searchable. Check it out: https://help.apple.com/advancedserveradmin/mac/10.7/

Error creating Engine in Enterprise Server(Standalone)

Hi,
I am trying to create a new engine in AquaLogic BPM Process Admin 5.7 (standalone). I have created the directory service in an Oracle database. But while creating the engine it gives me the follwing error.
Exception [ORA-01407: cannot update ("FUEGOSCHEMA"."FUEGO_CONFIG"."FUEGO_STRVALUE") to NULL ]. Caused by: ORA-01407: cannot update ("FUEGOSCHEMA"."FUEGO_CONFIG"."FUEGO_STRVALUE") to NULL
kindly suggest me a way out.
Thanks

please verify that the user you are connecting to Oracle has the appropriate permissions on the schema, and that the schema is either clean or the tables are properly created.
A suggestion would be to drop the schema and start over, if you don't have data, there is no problem doing it.

Error creating transformer object after server up for 2-3 days

1456 Error creating witness in SQL Server 2008 R2...

Setup is two 2008 R2 Standard servers with a mirrored database. All works fine without a witness - I can perform a manual failover and my test app works off the failover database. Trying to add 2008 R2 Express as a witness to enable automatic failover,
and getting error along the lines of:
The ALTER DATABASE command could not be sent to the remote server instance TCP://%witnesserver.fqdn.com:5022. Error 1456
Found a fairly recent fix for SQL 2008 (r1) for this, but not for R2. Is this still a known problem in R2 or am I missing something crucial?
All the servers use the same service account for all services (it's proof of concept, not production).
Thanks in advance,
Neil

In my case after spending several hours of troubleshooting/Googling, with none of the many posted/documented fixes working, I found the solution to my SQL 1456 error to be ROOTED in the SQL Server Configuration Manager\SQL Server Network configuration\Protocols
for MSSQLSERVER\IP Addresses. There was an old IP address listed in the (Active) IP1 configuration. Even though DNS was resolving to the new/correct IPaddress and Witness Name along with the local HOST file on the Pricipal/Mirror/Witness all
containing the correct IP/DNS entries, this old address still was embeded in the SQL Server Configuration Manager\SQL Server Network configuration\Protocols for MSSQLSERVER\IP Addresses. Once I modified the IP entry to match the current Witness
IP address all was GOLDEN. This may not be the solution for your 1456 Error, but it is one that can be added to the plethera of possible fixes for it. I hope this saves someone some time and effort along the way. - Lou
