Error reading setting in profile manager

Hi
I don't know why but for no apparent reason I have started to get this error message all the time.
Error reading settings for the Profile Manager Service.
All very well but I do not use Profile Magaer, it is turned off but keeps throwing this error message!!!!
I am a real Server Newbie.
HELP PLEASE!

only my mac (which is running the server OS) is not enrolling.
Why are you trying to enroll your device management server in it's own device management?
I've never tested anything like that, but I bet you can't do that...

HT201334 How does one set up profile manager on a completely closed network with no Internet access available or even possible?

I need to set up Profile Manager on a completely closed network that has no Internet access at all. I can sneaker-net files into the network if I need to.
Profile Manager (and Lion Server in general) seems to need outside access to complete setup and I've been unable to find any meaningful answers.
Does anyone any any ideas?
Thanks to all

you could try it without enabling apple push notifications in server
you wont' be able to push out profiles without enabling apple push notification
but users could download them, or you could install manually, e-mail etc

Dns problems setting up profile manager

i have been experimenting setting up OS X Server (10.8) on a new Mac mini on a network with Time Capsule. server's host name is "server.me.private" at IP address 192.168.1.100 , Time Machine DHCP server address is 192.168.1.1 .
Open Directory and Profile Manger are on in Server.app. (Profile Management: Enabled, Signing config profiles using the Apple Certified Push Certificate, w/ Apple push notifications on in Server settings.)
I can not, however, get Profile Manager to open and connect in a browser using "server.me.private/profilemanager" from either the mini itself or from another mac on the nework. i can get a brower to connect to Profile Manager using "192.168.1.100/profilemanager" but after successfully logging in, the browser is redirected to a "server.me.private/..." address and shows connection failure.
i HAVE gotten a browser to connect and function properly by changing the DNS Server in the the Network System Preferences on that specific Mac from "192.168.1.1" to "192.168.1.100". (DNS in Server.app, for the record is also on in this instance, forwarding server to 192.168.1.1 ) this, howerver, is a pain and also doesn't work trying to connect an iOS device.
i'm definitely missing something here. it seems to me that the Time Capsule should remain the DNS Server for the network and forward "server.me.private" to "192.168.1.100". it is not doing this, and there are no options for setting this with Airport Utility.
some light on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much!

thanks very much for your thoughts and reply, Thomas.
if i were to change the Time Capsule to use the Mini as the primary DNS server, is this where i'd do it in Airport Utility?
but it won't let me change the DNS Servers fields here. and if i can change the DNS Serever to my Mini's 192.168.1.100, what address should i keep for the second DNS Server?
Thanks again!

Error enrolling devices in profile manager!!

I have enrolling my macbook to the profile manager.
When I go to the https://(FQDN)/mydevices/ , and I hit the enroll buttom after logining in, and download the config file, try to install.. I get an error that says:
"The profile is either missing some required information, or contains information in an invalid format."
The problem is that I managed to enroll my iPhone with no problems.. only my mac (which is running the server OS) is not enrolling.
the certificate is valid from a trusted commercial thing..
Can someone please help?

Problems setting up Profile Manager

Hi everyone,
I've got 35 iPads in one room and I'd like to be able to configure them to use Profile Manager. I am running OSX 10.7.3 and all the tools are up to date.
I cannot get Profile Manager to run on the iPads. Here's what I've done so far:
- Enabled Profile Manager on the server
- Created a Self-Signed Certificate using Server.app
- Able to login to Profile Manager via the browser
I am stuck on the next part which is enroling the devices to Profile Manager. When I login to profile manager on the iPad, I get the option the "Enrol" the iPad, when I click "Enrol" I get the following error message:
"Unverified Profile" - "The authticity of "Device Enrollment" cannot be vertified. Installing this profile will change settings on your iPad.". I select 'Install Now', enter my passcode and I get this error: "The server certificate for "https://servername.domain/devicemanagment/api/device/ota_service" is invalid. When I press OK, I go back to the "Install Profile" window.
Has anyone had this issue before or know what's causing it? I suspect it's to do with certificates but I have created a Self-Signed one - do I need to do something else?
Thanks is advance,
Morgan

I had a similar issue before. I had changed the cert so many times that my keychain started having issues; ended up reformating the drive and reinstalling server.
I set my server up with a public domain and bought a UCC certificate from go daddy. Spending the money on a cert does bypass installing the whole trust profile as TeenTitan said.
Here's how I did it:
Setting up w/ Signed CA:
Establish your host name (ex. server.domain.com)
Don't turn on Profile Manager before setting up certs
Open Server.app, click on your server under "Hardware"
Go to "Settings"
Click on "Edit" next to SSL Certificate
In the drop down screen click the gear wheel in the left corner, select "Manage Certificates"
Click the "+" in the window, Click "Create a Certificate Indentity"
In the Name field type in your servers host name (ex. server.example.com)
Click the check for "Let me override defaults"
Fill out the next two windows with your organization's info
Click through the next few windows leaving all the defaults until you get to the window labeled "Subject Alternate Name Extension"
In the "dNSName" field add the the following records: yourdomain.com; server.yourdomain.com; www.yourdomain.com; autodiscovery.yourdomain.com (you could add more if you plan on hosting mail, address book, etc..)
IMPORTANT- make sure you add those "dNSName" addresses as Alternate name extensions when you are creating your SSL cert from an Authorized CA issuer like GoDaddy for example.
Click continue and finish creating your self generated cert
When you are finished you will return back to the Manage Certificates window and see your newly self generated SSL cert.
Click on the gear wheel and select "Generate Certificate Signing Request (CSR)"
Copy the following text
Close the window
Next, you need to go to your CA issuer and generate your cert. Copy the text into the field for generating your own SSL cert. (Your milage may vary in this process; I only know how to do it in GoDaddy)
After creating your cert, download it from your CA issuer's website. You should have two files, one being your "gd_intermediate.crt" and the other "yourdomain.com.crt"
Go back to the Settings section in Server.app and select "Edit" in "SSL Certificate" section
click the gear wheel icon and select "Manage Certificates"
Highlight your self genereated ssl that you created in the last steps
click the gear wheel icon and select "Replaced Certificate With Signed Or Renewed Certificate"
drag the "gd_intermediate.crt" that you downloaded into the window
Allow the keychain to add the record
Close Server.app
Open "Keychain Access" in your App folder
Click the lock in the bottom left corner and authenticate
In the top left pane select, under Keychains, "System"
in the bottom left pan, under Category, select "Certificates"
Drag the "yourdomain.com.crt" file that you downloaded from you CA issuer
Close keychain
Go back to Server.app in the settings section
select your newly generated SSL cert as your primary cert
Next, Enable Apple Push Notifications
Go to Profile Manager
Configure your directory services (I created an Open Directory Master)
Click Sign configuration profiles and choose your new SSL cert
Finally, turn on Profile Manager and if all goes well, you should be able to add your devices.
Hopefully this is helfpful; these were the steps I took to get my server going with a public address.
Other Info:
iOS devices enrolled had iOS 5.0.1 or higher (Models 3GS, 4, 4S)
I had ports 1640 & 2195 open for Profile Manager on my router
OS X Lion 10.7.3
Lion clients enrolled were 10.7.2 and up

Error in Set Personalization Profile

Hello Friends,
I am trying to simulate planning scenario in IDES and entered in KEPM Transaction.
While starting this, I have seen the option of personalized profile and created a personlized one and it was set.
and now I could not see other planning profiles and I could not remove my personalized profile which I have set.
Can anybody throw light on this?

Hi,
Do you see the button, General overview? if not, you have missed granting authorizations to your profile.

Error sc20861 in Profile Manager

Just wanted to see if anyone has seen a sc20861:had pendingRemoteStoreQueryPairs but did not get remote results! (-1) error message in the profile manager when trying to update info on a device. Everything was working fine until the 10.7.2 patch and server admin tools update.

In profile manager, check each device by looking in the About tab. If the device doesn't display a "Software Build Version" under the "General" section you probably need to re-enroll the device with profile manager. It worked for me.
In my case, I think profile manager got out of sync with the devices after I upgraded the devices to iOS 5.
Hope this works for everyone else.

How to set a profile to a system profile in Profile Manager on Server Mavericks

We're trying to create a profile to allow wifi connection to allow AD logins. We have 802.1x PEAP network and we are able to set the profile up but it does not connect until after an user signs in. I know that there used to be a setting in Profile Manager to set the type (User, System or Login Window) but I can't seem to find it now. I know I could edit the profile code but I'd rather not get mucking around in there unless absolutely necessary.

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the OSX Server forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.
 Cheers, Tom

Is there a way to reset Profile manager to the default settings (i.e.) like it was never set up without reinstalling?

I recently set up profile manager wrong and need to reconfigure it. Any Ideas?

Brilliant! Thank you. To get this working in my case, I need to make a few tweaks to the commands:
sudo su - #Since I have a different ruby install avaliable to my local user and that breaks things.
cd /usr/share/devicemgr/backend
serveradmin stop devicemgr
serveradmin start postgres
RAILS_ENV="production" rake db:drop
RAILS_ENV="production" rake db:create
RAILS_ENV="production" rake db:migrate
serveradmin start devicemgr

Profile Manager Broken after Migration to OS X Server 10.8

After migrating from Lion Server to OS X Server 10.8, Profile Manager will not start. Server.app -> Profile Manager reports "Error Reading Settings". Apache Error log reports:
[Thu Aug 30 13:32:29 2012] [error] (61)Connection refused: proxy: HTTP: attempt to connect to 127.0.0.1:3329 (127.0.0.1) failed
[Thu Aug 30 13:32:29 2012] [error] ap_proxy_connect_backend disabling worker for (127.0.0.1)
I tried shutting down all web services (Profile Manager, Wiki, Web), ran "serveradmin command web:command=restoreFactorySettings", then turned back on Web and Profile Manger... same problem.
Any ideas what, exactly, is wrong and how to fix it?

this might not be true in your case but when I've seen "error reading setting"it has been a permission problem on the Library/Server/profilemanager folder (or other service)
Profile manager should have owner _devicemgr RW, group _devicemgr R, everyone R
same for the Data folder inside.
Might be forth checking

How to get Profile Manager working over the internet?

I've set up profile manager at home and it work great on my local network. Now I wanted to make it work over the internet but I can't figure out how to do so. I've already opened the required ports. When I try accessing the User Portal trought my <external ip>/mydevices it asks me whether I trust a certificate or not, but when I choose "ok" it keeps requesting the URL forever until it times out. Am I required to have a registered domain name to access my server or I can just use my external IP ? Is there anything else I should do in order to have it working?

First off, you say you've opened 'the required ports', but which ones are they, in your opinion?
That may sound like a dumb question, but it isn't meant to be. You'll need port 443 to support HTTPS connections, and 1640 for the Certificate Enrollment server.
Additionally, you WILL need a valid domain for this - at least if you don't want authentication errors. SSL certificates rely on the hostname (amongst other things) to provide validation and if you access the site via IP address that validation is doomed to failure. That shoudkn't lead to the problem you're experiencing, which is no response at all, but it's still an issue to resolve.

Profile Manager Settings for Group does not display for individual members of the group

Hi there,
Can anyone confirm whether I am going mad or not, I and new to Mac Server and have set up Profile Manager on OSX Mavericks from scratch and have been using it successfully to deploy enterprise iPads. I have just gone to edit the profile as we wish to increase the timeout time to locking and have been greeted with something strange.
We have all users in a Group which has settings applied for timeout, pass code change etc. however if I go to an individual account who is part of that group then it isn't showing any settings for that user and it would appear I need to set them again. Similarly if I go to a device belonging to a member of the group then its not showing any settings for that device.
I would have assumed that if you set restrictions for a group then when you view the restrictions for a member of the group then it would be the same however it appears that you can have a separate payload for a group. Is this the case?
I am grateful for any advice people can give me.
Thanks again.
Rob

I would have assumed that if you set restrictions for a group then when you view the restrictions for a member of the group then it would be the same
That was never the way it worked in older versions of 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 Server.
The restrictions for a Group were shown for a Group. The restrictions for a User (alone) were shown for that User.
And the advantage is that if you see something wrong for a single user, you might be tempted to fix it there, in that user, and when you had changed six of them, you might remember that you meant that to be a group setting after all.
And the software to implement them separately is simpler, but YOU have to test it to find out the end results of compositing Group and User settings.
