Group folders when using Lion server machine as a client

Hi,
I want to use the server we use in a small lab as a client as well. Most of the collaborative work is done in a group folder, which works perfectly on all clients.
However, when I log into the OD on that sever on the server itself (as a OD user) the logon procedure correctly finds that it should mount the group folder.
However it also sees that the shared folder is a local folder, so it suggests (complains) that I should use the file locally instead.
This is all wery well, but I have applications where the config items require a path to be specified. This path now differs between computers (server computer v.s. pure clients) which creats a problem for me.
So, how do I make the server (loop) mount itself as if it was a pure client (and not complain about it)?
Please help me.
Fredrik

Have you try this command ?

Use Lion Server to set up security in Web Sharing

Can I use Lion Server to set up security in Web Sharing?
I want a password prompt to appear when someone comes to look at my Web Sharing files.
I have tried to do this manually in Snow Leopard and Lion, and am considering buying Lion Server just for this one purpose.
Does the admin GUI in Lion Server have an option that allows you to set up a password prompt for folks that look at my Web Sharing files?
THanks.

Miracles do happen.
Because I just bought Lion Server, I was able to get a guy from the Apple Server support group on the phone, for a long time, and he helped me set this up using the Server app and the Server Admin app.
Now I have a password prompt on my Web Sharing files.
It's an incredible relief to have this working.
Thanks for the responses.

Can I create my own iDisk spaces using Lion Server?

Using Lion Server, can I create a space that would be like iDisk for my users to save and access documents and files remotely? Also to make that shared between users? Basically make my own cloud space.

SSL Certificate is based on your domain, not the granularity of folders. If you have a server named idisk.yourdomain.com and all users will access the same domain, than you need a cert for idisk.yourdomain.com. If you plan to do multiple hosts within the same domain, such as idisk.yourdomain.com and clouddrive.yourdomain.com then look to get a wildcard cert. If you are doing multiple domains, such as idisk.yourdomain.com and clouddisk.otherdomain.com then you need multiple certs. One per domain.
As for access control, that is handled through folder structure and permissions. Make two folders. AllAccess and LimitedAcces. You can make a group that contails users A, B, and C and make them part of a group. That group can access the AllAccess folder. Then make another group containing users A & B and then grant them access to the LimitedAccess folder.

ISE Not Identifying AD Group Attributes when using Multiple ISE Servers

So we have multiple ISE Servers with differing personas. I was having an issue with our new ISE setup not identifying AD Group Attributes when using them in Authorization rules.
We have 2- 3395 appliances running Admin and Monitoring/Troubleshooting Personas and 2- 3395 appliances running as Policy server personas. We are running v1.1.1.268 with the latest two patches.
I was unable to pull Active Directory Group Attributes in any of my Authorization rules. After Resyncing all the boxes with the Primary Administration box I was able to do this. There is no bug listings for this occurance nor do we have Smartnet to call support for other reasons. I thought this might be useful to someone who is having the same issue and is unable to figure it out with TAC
-CC

Absolutely. All units said in-sync after setting their personas.
Here is our layout:
ISE-ADM-01 Admin-Primary, Monitoring-Secondary
ISE-ADM-02 Admin-Secondary, Monitoring-Primary
ISE-PDP-01 Policy Only
ISE-PDP-02 Policy Only
I synced one at a time starting with ADM-02. After completing the other two boxes. Active Directory Attribs were pulled down when using them in the Ext Group within my Authz rules.

Use Lion server to share video?

Since the gallery part of dot mac is gone, how can I share family videos?
I would like to be able to use my Lion server to do that, but am not sure how, using a web-based GUI as was done on the dot mac gallery.
Thanks.

Does anyone know how to publish a site using Lion server.

I have made a web site using I web and was trying to publish it using FTP and lion server but was quite sure were to find the server address and other required info.
If anyone can help it'd be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You shouldn't need to use ftp to publish a site when using a server, this is the whole point, that you are not uploading anywhere external, but are hosting yourself on a dedicated computer running a server.
This is not really the place to ask. There should be more forums here that are specially dedicated to Lion server issues.
Try looking at the pages on the Apple site under info on Lion server and there should be a user manual for you to look at for Lion sever. Try looking at this.
This is an iWeb forum so not really the right place to ask questions regarding server issues.

I suddenly cannot add/edit users or groups!!! (Lion Server)

I suddenly cannot add/edit users or groups!!! (Lion Server)
On the latest Mac Mini Server Lion 10.7.2
Everything was working fine at first, I'm pretty sure either since i've upgraded to 10.7.2 or since we try to connect Windows8 to the server, Lion Server is not working to good anymore, from that time I cannot add/edit users or groups & assign any users to any goups, the + sign looks desable, and everything seems pretty glichy. The other thing I have notice is that a huge amount of Users & Groups has been added without my consent.
Do I have to ReInstall Lion Server??
Why do I have all these random Users & Groups listed? (see screenshot)

I had the same issue. I opened the Workgroup Manager application and noticed the message "not authenticated as diradmin to directory: /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1" was under the icon bar at the top of the popup screen. When I clicked on that bar I entered the diradmin username and my password. After I exited the authentication dialogue box the message now read "Authenticated as diradmin to directory: /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1."
At that point I had full privalages in both the Workgroup Manager and Server App to create users and groups.
Not sure if this why the problem occurred in the first place but at least I resolved it without any major problems.

Can I use a SD Card rather than a USB stick when using Lion Recovery Disk Assistant

I'm using a MB Pro 2010, can I use a SD Card in the SD Card slot rather than a USB stick when using Lion Recovery Disk Assistant. I would like to use the 16GB chip with a single 1GB partition so I can dump a bunch of other backup stuff into the same chipper.

Yes, you could certainly do that, provided you have a card reader or an SD card slot available on both Macs and what you are copying is smaller than the capacity of your SD card.
But that's an awfully slow way to transfer GB's of files. 32GB SD cards cost anywhere from about $20 to $90 and of course the cheaper cards will be the slowest cards. Also need to consider that your iPhoto, iTunes and especially iMovie libraries may be larger than your SD card's capacity, and there is no easy way to 'split' them to save partial libraries and reassemble them on your new Mac.
A better solution is an external hard drive connected via FW or USB2. Much faster and without the capacity limit of an SD card. For example, you could get a 500GB OWC Mercury Elite Pro mini drive (5400 rpm) for $115 and after you are done using it for file transfer it would be a nice backup drive. Or build your own with an OWC mini case and a 500GB WD Scorpio 7200 rpm drive for about $120. Both support eSATA, FW400/800 and USB2.
Or you could just network the two Macs together and use the Finder to transfer files that way. Cheap, fast, and it works.

Publish an iWeb site using Lion Server

Does any one know how to publish an iWeb site using Lion Server.
I've been getting failures every time I try to publish using ftp server choise.
HELP!!!

I solved this by turning off passive mode. I was using iWeb and Rapid Weaver for creating websites and had the same problem. Now they both work fine on the transfer. Hope this helps.

Why can't I see my hotmail folders when using Mail on my Mac, but I can see them when I use Mail on my iPhone, weird?

I've set up Mail on my new Mac, but the folders I have set up in my Hotmail are not visible. Funny, coz I can see the folders when using Mail on my Iphone. Have I set the connection between Hotmail and my Mac incorrectly? It was very automated so I don't know what I did incorrectly. Can anyone out there give me a tip?
Cheers, Paul

When using Lion trackpad gestures.

When using Lion with the trackpad gestures is there anyway to keep the 2nd display (extedned display) from moving?

What do you mean 'moving'?
If you mean, can you change desktop in the main display but not the second display, I'm afraid the answer is no. They are logically tied to the same desktop space.

OSStatus 5 when trying to use Lion Server as time machine

I've set two volumes on hard disk 2 of the mac mini server with snow leopard server (now running lion server).
When I point my new MacBook Air at the time machine the Lion Server is serving which is simply displayed as Time Machine on server1.voigtstr.com, I authenticate (both server and laptop share the same username and password) and then I get
Time Machine can't access the backup disk "Time Machine"
The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error 5.)
What needs to change at either the server or client side?
thoughts so far were that the time machine volume was case sensitive and the laptop was not, so I reformatted the server volume to be not case sensitive.
Any other thoughts?
When I choose "Do Not Backup" the Time Machine system prefs applet is left in a state of "Preparing Disk". Is that likely to finish in multiple hours? Or is it just in a hung state?
Cheers
Voigtstr!

I had the same problem.
Time machine on my server, updated from Lion to Mountain Lion.
Fixed it by:
(To be completely safe, always start by backing up to a extra external hard drive, if you can.)
On the Machine that is your Server
I went to (Server>Services>Time Machine). My Time Mahine backup folder was there.
Open a Finder window and follow the path to your backup folder
When I checked on the backup drive folder it didn't exist.
In Finder use "New folder" and recreate the directory folder as shown in (Server>Services>Time Machine) eg. Volumes/TM folder/Shared Items/Backups.
Go to the Server>Services>File Sharing. Check that the Master folder (ie. TM folder)you are using for your time machine is shared. Double click on it and check that the account you use to connect to the server has "Read & Write" access.
Open the Server Panel, under Services >go to "Time Machine" and turn off the Time Machine. (Server>Services>Time Machine)
Select the current folder and remove "-" the folder currently showing.
Then add "+" the newly recreated folder
Go back to Server>Services>Time Machine
Then turn on the Time Machine
Then try to connect your macbook to the Time Machine server again
If you get to step 3 and find the folder is there then just skip step 4 and do the rest to reset it.
It may not connect your machine to it's previous TM folder so before continuing on to step 5, mark that by ctrl+click>Label> any colour. You can then go back later when you have a couple of up to date backups in the new folder and delete the old on for more space.

What to do when SLS - Lion Server Upgrade & Migration Fail

Hi everyone,
I've had a tough time over the past week trying to updating my SLS to LS. (It was a slow week at the office so despite the warnings in these discussions I wasn't disturbing anyone, so I thought I'd try...) Both an upgrade to the current running system and a clean install on a wipe of that hard drive stall at the "Configuring Services" "Upgrading services" screen of the set up process. The migration path eventually fails, and as far as I can tell, it seems that the upgrade path just stays there forever.
Don't worry - I'm doing this all on a Super Duper! clone of my primary drive, so I can go back to SLS whenever I need to.
BUT, I can tell that the server's status is at least partially okay, even in this stalled setup state - iChat seems to work on various clients, and I can use Server Admin to see stats and services, etc.
So despite the discomfort of a failed install, part of me feels like I'll be fine with the LS if I can just figure out how to move my old data into the right places for the new system to use it. But I can't find any guidance for that. I'm looking to migrate OD (seems to have migrated fine), iCal, iChat, Address Book, Wikis, Time Machine, and File Sharing (which should be trivial to set up, I reckon).
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks very much,
Willhaus

Okay, so I've had some marginal success.
After leaving the hung install for a ridiculous amount of time (24+ hours), I realized that I could click the help button, and from the help window click the "further info about Lion Server" link to launch Safari. That gave me access to Software Update from the Apple menu, which then let me install the latest Safari update which conveniently enough requires a restart.
After restart, the Server Migration Assistant kicked in again, but failed quickly in the upgrading services stage. Another restart, and the sever finally booted more or less normally.
The strange thing was that although chat services worked fine during the hung install, all OD-related services stopped working after restarting. Turns out there were no users or groups in OD. Importing them from an OD archive, though, restored them.
So now iChat works great (even the old chat longs migrated successfully), and AFP is properly sharing our volumes across our studio's network. So our server is limping along.
The other services we need that aren't up yet are Wiki and iCal. Some info about those:
Wiki: administrators can log in and see all wikis just fine. That's awesome because it means the data migrated successfully. Any non-admin users can log in, but are then get a wiki-styled page that says simply "No wikis found". It's as if they don't have permissions to see the wikis, even though in Server.app they belong to the groups that the wikis are associated with. I've tried removing and re-adding users to groups, but that doesn't seem to do it. Any ideas how to fix this?
Calendar: While I can't get this to work, it's not like it's completely lifeless. An account in a client Lion iCal configured with the proper Lion settings returns an error that reads:
"The Server is Busy or Unavailable.
"The server at myserver.com is currently unable to handle the connection for account “ Calendars” due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. If this continues you should contact the server administrator.
"You may try to connect to the server again or take the account offline."
As a logged in administrator, in a wiki clicking on Calendar in the nab bar goes to the calendar style page with an unending dialogue box that reads "Getting events from server". And clicking on Calendar from Home page footer takes me to the URL https://myserver.com/webcal with an error that says:
"Service Temporarily Unavailable
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
Apache/2.2.20 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.20 OpenSSL/0.9.8r DAV/2 Server at myserver.com Port 443"
Again, at least I'm confident that the data migrated properly - I can find all the calendar data in it's proper new location - but either the service won't start or something's not configured correctly. I've tried chaining the hostname and restarting the service about a billion times. I've got no idea what to try next. Any ideas?
Thank you so much,
Willhaus

Can I use Lion server to set-up a WPA2 wireless network in place of an AEBS?

I'm contemplating replacing my Airport Extreme Base Station with my Core i5 Mac mini as the wireless network server, because this will get rid of a "box" (that I can sell!) and reduce power consumption, since my iMac is on all the time as my iTunes media source anyway. At present my AEBS creates a WPA2 LAN network connected in bridge mode to my Billion modem/router, so DHCP serving is performed by the Billion router. I could replace the AEBS with the Mac mini running Lion simply by using internet sharing, but this has low security (WEP) and I understand there are often connection problems when clients awake from sleep. (Furthermore, my Airport Extreme at the back of the house probably wouldn't connect to that WEP network?)
So, I wonder.... If I upgraded to Lion Server (only $49), can I set-up the Mac mini as the WPA2 network host in place of the AEBS? My mini is right next to the AEBS anyway, so it's in a suitable position to distribute the radio signal. As I understand it, the Lion Server software would need to allow the Mac mini to connect to the Billion router via ethernet in bridge mode - just like the AEBs, but I can't find any info that tells me whether this is possible.
Does anyone know if what I want to do is possible? A simple solution may be to turn off the DHCP server functions of my Billion router, letting Lion Server become the DHCP server, but I don't think that's possible. I also don't want to replace the Billion with a simple modem because my Billion router provides VoIP for my home phone (and has done so reliably since 2005).
Of course, if it's all too hard, I'll leave things as they are, because I don't have any need for the other Server functions of Lion Server.
thanks

I don't know. I'm also looking for the same function because I want to
make my iMac running Lion the router and the firewall of my personnal
wireless network. The key advantage will be to have the firewall, its rules
and its logging on the same server.
What I already know is that turning the Internet sharing on turns a
MacOS X Lion into a DHCP server on the wireless side.
