Forum label for Server/Client

Mac OS X Server posts frequently end up in the Mac OS X Client forum. Perhaps a link in the Client forum to the Server category could help, or labelling the Client 10.6, 10.5, 10.4, 10.3 and earlier forums "Client" so people don't mispost anything for Server could help prevent posts for Server ending up in Client?
Or perhaps a Server category could be put together with the Mac OS X and related software?
Or perhaps in the Mac OS X support pages, a link to Server category could be added?
Just some suggestions.

a brody,
Except for rare exceptions the forum and category names match the actual product marketing name. The server forums are marked as server and we will happily move the occasional post that shows up in the client section when it occurs.

Enabling Spotlight search for server clients?

I have a mac mini server running OSX Mavericks, and 6 client mac also running Mavericks.
The server provides access to the main storage raid for our design dept, and all the designers need to be able to search for files on this server, but Spotlight never seems to work when trying to search the server.
No of us are It types, so the few possible solutions i have found seem to be aimed at advanced unix programmers, and as a result assume that a single line of code is enough of a hint for us to sort out the problem!
Pleae can someone explain how i can set up the server to index the raid, and allow the users to perform searches?
thanks
adam

It used to be that you could manually enable and disable spotlight indexing for network shares on a Mac server. With Server.app and therefore your Macvericks server this is automatically enabled. The process would be along the following lines.
You have a drive which has permissions enabled, external drives may default to having this turned off you can if needed enable it by doing a 'Get Info' on the external drive, and at the bottom will be an option 'Ignore ownership on this volume' this needs to be turned off i.e. unticked.
You then tell Server.app to 'share' the volume or a folder within the volume.
Server.app will automatically enable both AFP and SMB sharing for this new share, you can modify this if you wish.
Server.app will also automatically add an ACL (Access Control List) record containing the special server account 'Spotlight' so it can access every single file and folder within the share, this lets the server spotlight indexing software be able to access and therefore index all those files.
Client Macs can then search the share, it should only return results of files that that user has permission to access.
There is nothing really to configure. I have seen problems where the server will periodically decide to re-index the share again and while it is doing this searching does not work because the server is busy rebuilding the index. You can tell if this is happening by clicking on the Spotlight menu on the server, if it says it is re-indexing then this is what is happening.

Re:Help with code for server client

Hi i am struggling to adapt code for UDPServer and client programs.
how can i adapt the following server code to add a message before replying to the client?
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class UDPServer2{
public static void main(String args[]){
     DatagramSocket aSocket = null;
          try{
          aSocket = new DatagramSocket(9000);

               byte[] buffer = new byte[1000];
               while(true){
                    DatagramPacket request = new DatagramPacket(buffer, buffer.length);
                    aSocket.receive(request);
               DatagramPacket reply = new DatagramPacket(request.getData(), request.getLength(),

How to install directory server/client on Solaris 9 for dummys

Hi,
after reading hunderts of pages, after asking questions in forums without getting the right answers, i was able to install the directory server in our company.
Here is the summary i made for myself. Perhaps it helps others to avoid the same problems.
Set up a Directory Server (sun one ds 5.1)
Present situation:
-Nisplus is installed
-Solaris OS 9 sparc 64bit is installed
-DS5 Software is normally already installed in Solaris 9. Check off with 'pkginfo | grep IPLT*'
-Otherwise install from Solaris OS 9 Disc1 with 'pkgadd -d IPLTxxxx .'
-Software setup with '/usr/sbin/directoryserver setup'
     Install admin- and directory server.
     For Directory Server use port 389 (necessary for later use of SSL)
     For Admin Server use any empty port > 1024
     Run directoryserver as root (necessary for using port 389 and for -starting servers from console)
     Use default Directory Manager DN cn=Directory manager
     Use your domain as DIT (default information tree) example: dc=example, dc=com
     As second DIT, setup installs o=NetscapeRoot. Don't change this DIT at all!!!!!
The server stores all the default schemas there which are absolutely important for the directoy
server. Don't change anything there !
-Configure software with 'idsconfig'
     Preferred - and default server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (ip_adds of your directory server)
     Use default search scope one
     Use credential's Proxy
     Use authentication Simple (you may change this later if needed)
     All the rest should remain on default settings
     You will be asked for a proxy passwort
-Start the directoryserver console with '/usr/sbin/directoryserver startconsole'
-If it's not yet running, start the directory server from console or with command 'directoryserver -s instance_name start'
-If it's not yet running, start the admin server from console or with command 'directoyserver start-admin'
-On directoryserver's gui at configuraton/password set password encryption to 'unix crypt algorithm (CRYPT)'
Import Data
-Get Data from Nisplus with
     'niscat passwd.org_dir passwd.ldap'
     'niscat hosts.org_dir hosts.ldap'
     'niscat groups.org_dir groups.ldap'
     etc
-adjust the files. (try it out with one entry of a file only. You may delete this entry with the gui very easy if it's not successfull.
-hosts.ldap must look like
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx machine1
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx machine2
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx machine3
     First value is the ip-address, second one is the hostname.
     If you have more than one hostname per machine, use a second line (don't write 2 names behind the ip-address like you did in nisplus!!!)
Change content of files into ldif format
-perl migrate_hosts.pl hosts.ldap hosts.ldif
-perl migrate passwd.pl passwd.ldap passwd.ldif
-You may download the above perl-Files from http://www.padl.com
Change the converted passwd.ldif File as follows:
-before change:
dn: uid=mario,ou=People,dc=krinfo,dc=ch
uid: mario
cn: mario
objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: top
userPassword: {crypt}6O9m3uK./T/rM
loginShell: /bin/bash
uidNumber: 1020
gidNumber: 14
homeDirectory: /home/mario
-after change:
dn: uid=mario,ou=People,dc=krinfo,dc=ch
uid: mario
cn: mario
objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: shadowAccount <--- this line must be inserted
objectClass: top
userPassword: {crypt}6O9m3uK./T/rM
loginShell: /bin/bash
uidNumber: 1020
gidNumber: 14
homeDirectory: /home/mario
Insert the line for every entry in the passwd.ldif file
You may now import all these xxxx.ldif files into the directory server with
-ldapadd -h name_of_directoryserver -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password -f XXXXX.ldif
You may use this commands later to import further data.
-Initialise a client
'ldapclient -a proxyDN=cn=proxyagent,ou=profile,dc=example,dc=com init xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'
The xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx at the end is the ip address of the directory server
-This will make a client with data taken from the default profile from the directory server. This profile has been produced with the earlier command idsconfig and can be changed if needed.
-The System will ask you for the proxy password (given the first time in idsconfig dialog)
-You may now look at the produces files
in '/var/ldap/ldap_client_file' for the client settings
in '/var/ldap/ldap_client_cred' for the proxy settings
'ldapclient list' shows the settings of the client
With 'ldaplist -h' you may see all the existing entries with their objects.
Activate the client
-If it's not yet running, start '/usr/lib/ldap/ldap_cachemgr'
-All nisplus daemons/programs have been stopped by ldapclient command. If not, stop them manually.
-/etc/nsswitch.conf should have been copied from /etc/nsswitch.ldap from ldapclient too.
-If not, do it manually.
example
passwd: files ldap
group: files ldap
hosts ldap dns files
etc
I recommend to change the file '/etc/nsswitch.ldap' because the system oftens copies nsswitch.ldap to nsswitch.conf and if nsswitch.ldap is adapted, you must now change it again and again.
you may now check whether ldap is working fine with the following requests:
getent passwd username
getent hosts hostname
getent groups
getent network
These commands should give you the requested answer.
Be sure to clean:
/etc/hosts      inside is only your workstation and the directory server
/etc/passwd     only default and local entries
/etc/groups only default and local entries
etc
try a telnet to your own machine to check, whether password and automount of your home_dirctory works fine.
I failed here. All was working fine, but the password exchange did not because of credential/authentication problems.
Best regards and good luck
Mario

Directory Server 5.1 does not support Kerberos authentication.
Beside this there are some extensions in MS kerberos authentication that makes it almost impossible to have a MS client authenticate with something else than AD.

i m developing webservices in java and using two different server for server side and client.
e.g. i m using one tomcat server on a machine to run webservice and again using one more tomcat server on client side at different machine.
and hence it need two tomcat server.
But i want only one server to run webservice and client.
So please help me out...
Thanks

Hi,
It is always recommended to maintain different servers

O.S. / Hard Drive Size for NIO Server/Client's load testing...

Hi All
I am currently load testing a NIO Server/Client's to see what would be the maximum number of connections that could reached, using the following PC: P4, 3GHz, 1GB RAM, Windows XP, SP2, 110 GB Hard Drive.
However, I would like to test the Server/Client performance on different OS's:
Which would be the best possible option from the following:
1. Partition my current drive, (using e.g. Partition Magic), to e.g.
- Win XP: 90 GB
- Win Server 2000: 10 GB
- Linux: 5 GB
- Shared/Data: 5 GB
2. Install a separate Hard drive with the different hard drives
3. Use a disk caddie, to swap in/out test hard drives.
4. Any thing else?
- Would the Operating System's hard drive size affect the Server/Client's performance, e.g. affecting the number of connections, number of File Handles, the virtual memory, etc.?
Many Thanks,
Matt

You can use a partition on the same HDD or use a second HDD, disk caddie well if its a direct IDE or SCSI. If its usb no it will be too slow, may be if you have a fire-wire but I still don't recommend it.
Be careful if you don't have any experience installing Linux you may do multiple partitions on you disk without knowing, because Linux ext partitions are not visible to windows.
Recommended disk size for fedora is 10 GB. This is the amount of data that will be created on you HDD when you do a full installation.

Publishing server doesn't work - error 'The request URL doesn't contain the query string for the client OS'

Hi,
I'm trying to setup an App-V environment in my lab.
I've used the App-V 5.0 Trial guide to help me configure all necessary components.
I'm able to install everything without error.
when come time to publish an app, it simply doesn't show up on my client.
after looking at events on the client and server, I found that the Publishing server is returning under Admin the following message.
'The request URL doesn't contain the query string for the client OS'
My setup is pretty simple.
App-V Server managament and Publishing on the same box
App-V database on my SQL server.
I'm able to see the publishing "webpage" by using http:://localhost:889.
It only display this :
-<Publishing Protocol="1.0"
<Packages />
</Publishing>
I've published one app from the management console.
any idea what could mean this error?
thanks

Hi,
thanks for the link.
I've validated the suggested debug steps. It seems that the problem is with my Publish server again.
I've looked in the web.config file. It seems to be missing some parts compare to the example provided.
Again, I've published an application from the management console. Management and Publishing are running on the same box, while SQL is remote.
Here's the web.config

Custom protocol handler for Server and Client

Hi there,
I have been reading about "A New Era for Java Protocol Handlers" from http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/protocolhandlers/ . I would like to redesign my existing codes to suit this architecture.
The article mentioned about write client side application. I am wondering whether it will be possible to use the same architecture for server side as well ?
If it is possible, it will be the very kind of you all to guide me to the right direction. Thank you in advance.

Thanks for your input. Yeah, the article has been there for quite sometimes. That's why I am a bit sceptical about using it. The strange thing is that there has not been any updates about this topic since then (searched in google and not many web pages are mentioning this thing). I am wondering whether it is a good choice to change the code or not.

Boot server for solaris clients

Can any one give me the steps to configure a temporary boot server .. so that i can boot one of my failing server which does not have cdrom .
I do not want to configure full fledge jumpstart box .. i need it just for recovery purpose. And i want to set it up in one of my other servers .. which is running several solaris zones.

Setting up a "full" jumpstart server is quite easy. You just don't have to make lots of customizations to enable non-interactive installs.
Run the setup_install_server on the media to copy the data to the server. If using CD sets, go through each of the other disks and run the update_install_server scripts. Then run add_install_client in the destination Tool directory to set up all the config files for the client.
(It's possible to skip the first step and do the client setup from the DVD directly, but this is usually simpler).

FDS for server push + client to client

Just want to double check - if I was to create a chat like
app in Flex - where new messages are "pushed" to clients, this
would require FDS.

Using FDS would be the far easiest way to implement a chat
application.
Theoretically you could implement a chat application without
FDS by having each client poll the server for messages for new
messages for that client using HTTPService or WebService.
You can also do "poor man's data push" using a long-lasting
HTTP request - in this pattern each client posts an HTTP request
that it doesn't expect and immediate response to - when the server
has a message for the client is sends the response (perhaps a long
time later). In the client's event handler for the response the
client posts another request (so that the server has a means of
"pushing" data to the client). This is how Blackberry-style email
works in Windows Mobile (in the absence of a proper data push
protocol).
Sean
Neville's Introduction to the Flex Message Service has a good
example of how to write a chat application in FDS.

JMS architecture question for fat client/server.

Hi. Is JMS suitable for fat client-server architecture where a certain number of fat client applications (like a few hundreds) open connections directly to the JMS provider? Is it going to have scalability problem when the number of connections grow?

Depending on your JMS provider, this may be a very suitable architecture. The Sun MQ JMS Cluster was architected exactly for this problem. If the number of connections onto a single broker becomes too much of a burden for this broker, it can be put into an MQ cluster and share the number of connections. Of course, the number of connections a broker can handle will be totally dependent on the resources available to it. OS, CPU, memory, other applications running on the same machine, etc....

SocketPermissions for Chat Server/Client Applet

Hi,
I've coded a chat server/client applet and found that I need to set socketpermissions when using over the net.
I put the following line in my java.policy file under my jdk
permission java.net.SocketPermission ":6288", "connect,accept, listen";
but it still tells me:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied(java.net.SocketPermission 217.0.0.1:6288 connect, resolve)
any ideas? or am I doing something wrong?
Also I havent set anything for my applet, and wouldnt know how to? if you do have to set permissions for that, do you put the permissions in with the code or something?
Thanks in advance.
Matt.

ah, dont worry, I've got it fixed.
that 217.0.0.1 address is because I typed the error by the way, usually it would have my IP.
problem was I had forgot to recompile with my new assigned IP, d'oh!

How to reduce configuration cache file Quota size located in ( C:\Windows\ccmcache ) for all client from SCCM 2012 server

How to reduce configuration cache file Quota size located in ( C:\Windows\ccmcache ) for all client from SCCM 2012 server
Thanks in Advance
NTRao

Hi,
There are numerous ways to change the cache size.
You could deploy a vbscript to a collection of the devices.
On Error Resume Next
Dim UIResManager
Dim Cache
Dim CacheSize
CacheSize=20000
Set UIResManager = createobject("UIResource.UIResourceMgr")
Set Cache=UIResManager.GetCacheInfo()
Cache.TotalSize=CacheSize
Or you could use a configuration item.
http://blog.coretech.dk/heh/configuration-items-and-baselines-using-scripts-powershell-example/
You can also use the right click tools by Now Micro on a collection, if all the servers are on this would be the easiest / quickest way.
