Host-based OpenLDAP Authentication On Mac OS X Mountain Lion

Hello All,
I'm sorry if this is the wrong group to post such a question, or if this has been already answered.
I have openldap (slapd version 2.4.31-1+nmu2ubuntu8) running on Ubuntu Server 14.04. The 'hostObject' objectClass is added in the OpenLDAP directory. The 'host' attribute is added under all ldap users, which allows users to access just those particular hosts. Apple schema has been added as well.
I have a ubuntu client that authenticates users against the ldap server. The ubuntu client is configured to perform host-based authentication via pam modules. Only users that have access to the Ubuntu client can login, and others are denied access. I also have a Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5) client that authenticates users against the same openldap server. All network users can login through the login window. I would like to restrict access to the Mountain Lion client based on hosts, as I've it on the Ubuntu client.
I tried to search for documentation on this, but didn't find any good one. Most of the documentation suggest that network user access be controlled on the Mountain Lion client. I'd really like to have that control on ldap server and not on client. Also, restricting network user access using 'Users & Groups' settings in System Preferences fails. All ldap users are blocked from login.
I have successfully tested host-based authentication on a Ubuntu Server 10.04 client that is connected to the same ldap server. So, I know host based authentication works. I would really appreciate if anyone could shed some light on this, or point me to a document that talks about host-based authentication on Mac OS X Mountain Lion client.
Thanks,
Amit

I just found the anwer to my own issue. The installation failed on Jam Pack Content 3 disk. To finish the installation I need to go to the Logic Pro Main menu under the item Download supplemental content

  • Is there a way to run Internet Explorer on a Mac mini with mountain lion?

    I need to access a professional website that only works with IE (don't get me started on THAT) I need to do billing using this site so need to have full functionality.  Is there a way to run IE on my mac mini with mountain lion?

    The key takeaway here is that yes, you can access Windows 7 (and IE 9) from OS X Mountain Lion.
    The crucial question is about your workflow. If you need concurrent access to both Windows 7 and Mountain Lion, then the Bootcamp solution included with Mountain Lion would not be the right choice. You would need one of the virtualization solutions.
    If you need helpdesk support from a paid product, rather than entirely from a community forum, then the latest Parallel's Desktop or VMware would be a matter of choice, with Parallel's the better decision at this point. Either of these products are under $100, in addition to the cost of a Windows 7 license. You may need the Windows 7 installation media as an .ISO file, rather than on DVD. Check requirements.
    By example, I use Oracle's VirtualBox (free) on Mountain Lion, with a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit guest. The interactive and network performance of this Windows guest are more than adequate on my 2011 mini. I assigned 3 GB memory and 2 of 4 processor threads to the Windows 7 guest. I also restricted guest CPU use to 80%. VirtualBox is installed on my SSD, but the Windows guest is on an external HDD. That is not a default configuration. There are multiple choices for display; from full-screen 1920x1200 (mine) to an isolated resizeable window, to seamless integration with OS X. The Apple keyboard, bluetooth devices (trackpad/mouse), and printer all are recognized. I also have a shared OS X folder with VirtualBox, and copy/paste integration.
    I use VirtualBox as it meets my support (forum) and functional requirements.
    Best wishes,

    Bookmarks are not syncing to ONE of my Macs, but showing up on other Mac (work), iPhone 4 and iPad 1. Macs are on Mountain Lion. Tried all of Apple's suggestions - and the one Mac is still not updating/syncing Bookmarks or Reading List. What's going on? Do I have to wait to OS update? It seems lots of peolple were having issues before ML, but I as fine. Since ML, I am having all kinds of issues!

    Yeah, I literally have tried everything except deleting my iCloud account (I'm close, but that would require so many changes that it is way too painful to consider at this point).
    I am still waiting to hear back from Apple Support. Hopefully something can be done, or they can do a reset on their end.
    Thanks for taking the time to respond though, much appreciated!

    Open the General tab of the Finder's preferences and set it not to be displayed on the desktop. Alternatively, if it's a disk image or external disk, just drag it to the Trash.

  • How do I change a port in Mac OS X Mountain lion

    Apparently Logmein  makes use of port 2002 in mac OS X  Mountain Lion. I need to use that for some new accounting software. How  do I change the part in Mountain Lion and how would I do an install of  Logmein on the computer to use another port or how, with Logmein  currently installed do I change from port 2002 to some other port. The major question is how do you change port assignments in OS x Mountain Lion?
    Thanks for you help.
    Tom in Dallas

    There isn't a generic way to do what you want.  Not on Microsoft Windows.  Not on OS X.
    The ICANN registry of port numbers exists so that these messes don't happen, or don't happen very often.  So that there are no port conflicts among various applications, and there are ways to request ephemeral (temporary) ports, and (for some applications) to find out which port(s) the application happens to have allocated and is using.  In this case, it appears that folks at LogMeIn and with the accounting software didn't avail themselves of the ICANN port database.  They're using the preferences mechanism as a work-around for that.
    Have a look at ipfw and pfctl tools here (see man ipfw and man pfctl at the Terminal.app prompt), and see if you can figure out how you're going to map just one local application that's opening 2002 to some other port, without disturbing the other application that's mapping to that same port (and colliding).  This is the remapping mechanism and akin to what can happen at some firewalls, and not the requested control over the selected port.  It's not set up to remap local application conflicts.
    The selected port is either a configuration option within the specific tool, or it's hard-coded within the tool.  There's no generic registry of applications and ports.  That's what the ICANN port registry is for.
    The worst-bad-ugly approach is to dump out the executable code, reverse engineer it, and patch the preferred port right into the code; to change the code without using the original source code.  Or some tool-specific configuration file or preferences setting, as and if available.

  • Mac OS X Mountain Lion Boot Drive Issues

    Dear Apple Users,
    This is my first post here on the Apple Support Communities, so kindly forgive me if I'm repeating a previously asked question.
    I'd like to create a Mac OS X Mountain Lion USB Boot Drive and of course I already have it installed on my MBP.
    My question is whether I need to buy the App from the App Store if I already have it installed on my MBP[in order to create the USB Boot Drive, I need .dmg ]? On App Store, price tag is still appearing, that's why I'm asking.
    Thanks in advance for all your help

    If you purchased OS X Mountain Lion to upgrade your computer, open App Store > Purchases, and download OS X Mountain Lion. When the download finishes, use Lion Diskmaker to create a bootable Mountain Lion drive > http://liondiskmaker.com
    If your Mac came with OS X Mountain Lion, you may not be able to make a bootable Mountain Lion drive until Apple launches a OS X update. That's because your Mac may be using a special OS X version that you can't get from the App Store, so you can only download it starting in OS X Recovery, and you won't be able to create an external drive with Mountain Lion

  • Photoshop elements 5.0 on mac OS X mountain lion?

    Is it possible to install photoshop elements 5.0 on my mac OS X mountain lion? I found a cd with photoshop elements 5.0 on which it said mac but when i tried to install it, some kind of error showed on the screen, but it was only after a little while.

    No way. This would require PPC code which Apple long have removed from OSX.

  • Unable to Install Flash on Mac OS X Mountain Lion

    I have attempted several times to install Flash Player (11.7.700.225) on Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4), and every time I attempt to install it hangs on 20% during installation. I have ensured that there is no flash player installed on the Mac currently, and I have also deleted the original Flash download and re-downloaded a couple of times. I also attempted the troubleshooting solution (#7) found here http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html#main-pa rs_header_0. However, this leads me nowhere because as you can see, my resources folder doesn't contain a .pkg file, nor do any of the other folders in the Contents folder (at least from what I can see). Do you have any other solutions for this problem? Cheers.

    Try this installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg

  • Adobe Photoshop CS with mac os X mountain-lion?

    Adobe Photoshop CS is no longer running under mac os X mountain-lion. Are there any updates for this? I have the license number.
    Please reply, thank you.
    Greetings
    Angie

    No, there are no updates. It's simply not compatible. It's entirely Apple's decision to no longer support and provide the required system libraries. Signing up for Creative Cloud is pretty much your only reasonably cost-efficient option, if you want the "big" PS. Otherwise Photoshop elements might suffice...

  • Open dialog crashing in Photoshop Elements 11 (Mac OS X Mountain Lion)

    I downloaded the trial for Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac. I'm using Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4).
    In the File > Open dialog, if I touch either of the two pop-up menus at the bottom of the dialog, Photoshop Elements crashes. This is 100% consistent and reproducible.
    This means I'm having a bit of trouble getting started at all. Mac users (10.8.4), can you confirm / deny this issue? Thx.
    Oh, by the way, exactly the same thing happens with the pop-up menu in the Save dialog. So if I want to set the image format to save in, I crash.

    Fixed the crash! Unfortunately I'm a bit hazy on the details. The key move was telling TinkerTool to revert to all defaults. But as to exactly which setting was triggering the issue, I'm not sure. I've restored a lot of my TinkerTool settings and the crash has not returned. So clearly I have not yet hit on the crucial one.
    The key observation here was that the crash was not occurring in a new clean user account. So evidently there was something about my primary user account that was essential to the crash. That started me on a long slow process of testing...

  • Acrobat 9 fails to recognize (scanner) Epson Artisan 730 after Mac Pro and Mountain Lion Upgrade

    I had no problems scanning from the Epson Artisan 730 all in one until I upgraded my Powermac G5 to a mid-2010 Mac Pro with Mountain Lion 10.8.  The printer is installed with most recent drivers from Epson (the install disk will not work on 10.8 anyway).  I can scan directly from the Print and Scan system preference under the scan tab of the printer and it prints fine from Acrobat.  When I go to Document -> Scan to PDF, it brings up a dialog box in which the first input is box is Scanner:  "Please select a device" with up and down arrows on the right.  When I click on the up and down arrows, there are no selection options other that "Please select a device" with a check mark next to it.  This printer is wireless, as is another Canon which also has a scanner and neither appear as available.  Very frustrating.  I have repeated the instalation process (for the Epson downloaded driver utilities) and it just is not seen.
    If anyone has any workarounds or solutions, I would be grateful.

    Of course now I have a red badge on the App Store that is asking me to update the Epson driver.  I wonder if that will blow out the TWAIN driver.  It's epson14333.dmg. 
    No.  Your TWAIN drivers are separate than the Image Capture Device drivers that would be installed by the printer driver update.
    Also, no way of getting rid of the badge notification in system preferences.  App store is not listed.
    There is no law that you must update software just because it is available.  There is no way to get rid of the red badge, but you don't have to do the upgrade.

  • If you've installed the Mac OS X Mountain Lion and want to restore your MacBook to factory settings, what do you do?

    Havinig a lot of problems with my MacBook since I've upgraded to the Mac OS X Mountain Lion program. Can someone tell me if it's possible to reset my computer back to factory settings?

    Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
    Step One - Back up your data:
           A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
           B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
              1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
              2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
              3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
                  side.
              4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
                  sure to opt for that.
                   Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
                   startup drive.
    Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
              1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
              2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
              3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
              4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
              5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See.What to do with iCloud before selling your computer
    Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
         A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
              1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
              2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
              3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
                  Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
              4. Install OS X.
              5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
              6. Shutdown the computer.
         B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
             Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
                       it is three times faster than wireless.
              1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
                  Utilities window appears.
              2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button.
              3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
                  on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
              4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
                  and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
              5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
              6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
              7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
              8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
    *If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License.
