I can't see system users in Workgroup Manager

How do I get the user accounts that are already on Mac OS X Server to show up as users in Workgroup Manager? Re-adding the user from "Add User" creates a conflict, so I know the account is being seen by Workgroup Manager. Thanks for the help.

Hi
Yes. Firstly de-select the option to show System Users and Groups. Use the Filter to only show you Users with UIDs above a certain number. If you've used the default numbering system start with IDs over 1000. This gets around you inadvertently exporting and/or deleting the default Administrator account.
Select the users you're interested in the Local node. Go the Server Menu and select Export. Save the exported file to the Desktop and give it a meaningful name. Now delete those exported users from the local node. You can't have the same users in both directory nodes. Select the LDAP node and select Import from the Server Menu. The rest should be fairly obvious.
A couple of things to look out for. When importing those Users they should automatically be assigned Open Directory for their User Password Types in the Advanced Tab. Change them to suit if they come in as Crypt. Passwords don't carry over so you will have to either assign these again or force users to change them at next log on. Assuming these are users with networked home profiles?

  • Server admin not seeing directory users from workgroup manager

    I am setting up a new Xserve with Snow Leopard (get 'em while we can). We have eight other XServes running Leopard or Snow Leopard server. On those machines we have set up file sharing over AFP. The machines are connected to our Active Directory server and our users authenticate using their domain passwords. All of our other servers were setup in Leopard and were upgraded to Snow Leopard. We have not had any issues authenticating to those boxes.
    This is the first one that we have actually setup new-out-of-the-box in Snow Leopard. I can set Workgroup Manager up to connect to our AD, and can see and search my domain users and groups in Workgroup Manager. When I try to set up my File Shares in Server Admin, none of my domain users show up-only local accounts.
    What have I missed? In Leopard, when I connected to the domain, the users immediately became available in Server Admin. Not so in SL, at least on this box.
    Help?

    Hi
    The first thing to check is if you've bound the Server to the AD Domain. The second thing is if the /Active Directory/All Domains is in the Search Policy. If you don't do either of these WorkGroup Manager won't display anything coming from the AD Schema.
    In 10.6 Apple moved the Directory Utility from where it used to be in /Applications/Utilities and made it part of the Accounts Preferences Pane. Perhaps it's this change that's confusing you? I would not advise doing this but it's also possible you used the Server Setup Assistant to do most of the configuration? If you did maybe something went wrong at that stage (won't be the first time) and you need to manually bind the Server instead?
    As ever make sure this server is using the same NTP Server as the others.

  • How do you use Time Machine to restore a specific users account?  I can't do it from the user screen because I am not allowed.  I can't do it from the admin because I can't see other users in Time machine.

    I can't restore my user account from the users screen because I get an alert that Mac OS needs something.  I can't restore in TimaeMachine from the Admin screen because I can't see other users home folders.  What can I do?

    See Pondini's TM FAQs for starters.

  • Can not see the report in report manager/admin tab

    Hi,
    in 8.49 on Win 2003 some users can not see the reports in report manager/admin tab. PS user can see them.
    Should we add some grants in user profile ? Which ? Any query to compare that user profile with PS ?
    Thank you.

    On the administration page, you will be able to see "View Reports For" header on the top.
    Under that header you will see the following fields:
    User ID/Type/Last/Status/Folder /Instance
    Above values will be used by PeopleSoft to filter and display the list of reports
    If the user has selected Status as Processing and saved the page, PeopleSoft will only show reports which are in Processing status.
    If user runs a report and it has been posted, it will not show up in report manager coz the filter value is set to Processing.
    Hope this helps. I dont think Permissions has anything to do with this since user is able to view the page.

  • Exporting users from Workgroup Manager to Excel

    Hi all,
    Just wondering if anyone knows of a way to export users from Workgroup Manager in a "normal" format, eg CSV or Excel etc? Or if a program exists to post-process the current exported file?
    The current file has bits like this in it:
    <key>kAPOPRequired</key>\
    <string>APOPNotRequired</string>\
    <key>kAltMailStoreLoc</key>\
    <string></string>\
    <key>kAttributeVersion</key>\
    <string>Apple Mail 1.0</string>\
    <key>kAutoForwardValue</key>\
    <string></string>\
    <key>kIMAPLoginState</key>\
    <string>IMAPAllowed</string>\
    <key>kMailAccountLocation</key>\
    Which I would like to remove, or put into various columns in Excel.
    Sadly we are moving to Windows, so I need to get everything out of OD into a format that can be imported into AD. So basically a spreadsheet with firstname, lastname, email address, location/address, group memberships etc etc.
    Any help appreciated

    Thanks Andbrowny
    I gave it a go, but got a strange error, does this mean anything to you?
    admin$ sudo ldapsearch -LLL -H ldap://127.0.0.1 -b "cn=users,dc=my,dc=domain,dc=net" > userexport.ldif
    Password:
    SASL/GSSAPI authentication started
    ldapsasl_interactive_binds: Local error (-2)
    additional info: SASL(-1): generic failure: GSSAPI Error: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information (No credentials cache found)
    I suspect my OD is screwed, as slapd maxes out all 8 cores every few days, and takes out the mail server as a side effect.
    The Linux link wasn't applicable to this, all the commands and paths are different to MacOS X unfortunately.

  • Can't see file system tree in Workgroup Manager to add share point

    Server 10.4.11: open Workgroup Manager and select the Sharing panel.
    Clicking the "Share Points" tab displays my current share points as expected.
    But clicking the "All" tab shows a +completely blank window+: no volumes or folders at all!
    (The button at the bottom to mount or unmount a remote NFS volume appears, but I've never used it and I don't know what good it might be.)
    Accessing the server with the 10.5 version of Workgroup Manger from a Leopard client gives the same behavior.
    (Cross-posted in Server Admin Apps area)

    In the immortal words of Emily Litella, "Never mind". I rebooted the server and it's back to normal. Go figure.

  • Can I see the User form trace

    hi,
    Can I see the intermediate values for the fields in the User forms.
    Thanks

    Enable trace in the System Configuration object.
    From Debug page > List Objects> Configuration> System Configuration. Click Edit.
    Look for Workflow Trace and enable it. Write it to a file if it is your local server. If it is a remote server then set the value of console trace to true.
    This will genetrate the output onto the browser.

    Hi
    If you Activate the audit log you can keep track all information,
    have a look at   -successful and unsuccessful dialog and RFC logon attempts
                             --successful and unsuccessful transaction and report stats ...
                             how many times a user logged -in and all .yah you need to count
                             the number of times a user logged based on the report.
    Once you activate....every day transaction details are recorded for every user
    who tries to log in.keep an eye on the below parameters
    In RZ10
    rsau/enable :set to 1 to activate audit logging
    rsau/local/file   :to specify name and location of audit log file
    rsau/max_diskspace/local :To specify maximum space for audit file say if
                                                max.size is reached auditing stops
    Hope that helps.

  • Where can i see which user(s) has access to Discoverer Admin or desktop?

    Hello
    I am new to a company. Where can i see which employees have access to Discoverer Admin and / or Desktop editions?
    So i want to know 2 things:
    1. Who are the discoverer users in the company?
    2. What reports do they have access to?
    thank you
    Edited by: iandekoker on Feb 20, 2009 2:46 PM

    Hi,
    If the user has Discoverer Administrator/User installed on there PC then they will have access to the tools. They will also need Admin or Desktop access to the Discoverer EUL. You can install the Discoverer V5 Business Area and run the EUL Management workbook to see all the Discoverer users, what privileges they have and which workbooks have been shared to the users/roles. See metalink note 556932.1 for details of how to install this Business area which is shipped with Discoverer Admin.

  • Where can I see System.out output?

    This question has been posted back in may and if somebody found out what the correct answer is please let me know.
    Thank you.
    Hi All
    How can I see the results of my System.out.prints?
    Marcnull

    I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but when Java code is run inside 8i, the System.out can be found in the 'udump' directory on your server. I believe there is a file there for each session -- look for the last updated. Maybe someone who knows more about 8i can say exactly what the 'udump' directory is...
    If you're running Java published as PL/SQL in SQL*Plus, you can redirect the System.out to your SQL*Plus session like this:
    SET SERVEROUTPUT ON SIZE 5000
    CALL DBMS_JAVA.SET_OUTPUT(5000);
    (The size can be from 2,000-1,000,000)
    I've run some Java in 8i by itself, but I'm still trying to understand architecturally where the "border" between 9iAS and 8i is...

  • I can't see the user-defined fields I'm supposed to - where are they?

    Following a recent CACI release upgrade users are expecting to see several user-defined fields within student details in the Enrolments Universe but we can't. Following upgrades, do I need to refresh or run something that'll encorporate any new additions to the existing tables?
    Apologies, but this is the 1st time I have had to do this.

  • Problem with home directories NOT in Users and Workgroup manager

    I am setting up a Leopard server (10.5.3) with the users directories in /h1. This is mounted as /Volumes/h1.
    It is exported under AFP as /h1.
    When I try to get Workgroup manager to create a home directory, I can enter the home directory as:
    afp://quattro.innocon.com/h1
    path is 'user'
    Full path is:
    /Network/Servers/quattro.innocon.com/Volumes/h1
    However, when I try to log in as this this user, it says that the directory /Network/Servers/quattro.innocon.com/h1/username does not exist.
    I cannot seem to figure out why the 'Volumes' part of the full path is being lost.
    Any ideas on how to get this right?

    have you checked to see if /Network/Servers/quattro.innocon.com exists?
    I'm having ALOT of issues with automount not picking up on the mount-maps set by Open Directory.. If anyone has any solutions on this it would be great.

  • Can't re-enable accounts with workgroup manager

    Morning,
    We have had cause to disable approximately 100 student accounts earlier this week, and we are now finding that we can not re-enable them. This is a major problem as it's coming to the end of term and they all need to be able to login!
    The server is running 10.4.6 and the accounts were disabled using Workgroup Manager by selecting the account, unticking the 'access account' box and then saving.
    I am trying to re-enable the accounts by simply reversing the process, i.e. ticking 'access account' and then clicking save, however every time I try this the following error pops up:
    "Got unexpected error
    Error of type eMemoryAllocError (-14901) on line 3318 of /SourceCache/ServerManagerUserGeneral/ServerManagerUserGeneral-193.2.5/UserAdva ncedPluginView.mm"
    I have tried this with various of the disabled users on various different machines (including the server itself) and the same error comes up universally. I've had a poke about on Google but I can't find any reference to this happening anywhere else.
    My inital thought was that the admin tools were out of date but looking we have version 10.4.4 of Workgroup Manager which is what is available on the apple site; is this the latest version?
    I thought the point releases for admin tools ran in parallel with the server versions, i.e. the latest server admin tools would be of version 10.4.6?
    Any help/ideas appreciated...!
    Ian Atkinson

    Additionally, I have come up with a fudge:
    I have turned on the advanced view in Workgroup Manager so that I can see the LDAP inspector for each user. If I delete the two attributes 'AuthenticationAuthority ;DisabledUser;' and 'dsAttrTypeNative:authAuthor ;DisabledUser;' and then save, I can then go on to tick 'access account' and save with no problem (which does in fact re-enable the account).
    I don't know if this sheds any light on the subject, but it's working for now at least...

  • I can't see accounts in the account manager !

    Okay, I just got this really weird bug. I hope you can help me out with it !
    Basically, I have right now three sessions on my iMac : one admin, and two standard (they don't have administration rights). I want to delete those last two. When I open the account manager in my admin session, I can't see the two standard session. When I open the account manager in one of the two standard session, I only see the current session and the admin session, not the other standard session.
    I have run several test with OS maintenance utilies, CCleaner and Onyx, and none of them find errors.
    So... how do I get rid of those pesky useless session ? May thanks !

    Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now.
    Launch the application
    /System/Library/CoreServices/Directory Utility.app
    which you can do by selecting the above line in your browser, right-clicking (or control-clicking), and selecting Services ▹ Open from the contextual menu.
    In the application window, click the lock icon and authenticate. Select the Directory Editor tool in the toolbar. Select Users from the Viewing menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Locate the user you want to delete in the list and click the minus icon at the bottom. Quit Directory Utility.
    Be very careful when editing the directory. Many hidden users are present by default, and are needed for the normal operation of OS X. Never delete or modify a directory entry unless you’re sure you know what you’re doing. If in doubt, leave it alone.

  • IDM 8.0 : See connected users on Identity Manager ?

    Hi everybody.
    My client wants to see all connected users on IdM in order to upgrade the application without disturbing them.
    It is possible to see connected users on IdM ?
    If it's true, can you explain me the steps to achieve it ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Edited by: flobR on Jun 5, 2009 2:05 PM

    Florent...
    Sun Identity Manager does not give you the ability to see who is currently connected to the application. The key is that SIM is simply a web application running on the J2EE application server. Most J2EE application servers should give you some functionality in this area. Check the documentation for your application server.
    If your application server is tomcat, you'll likely need to do some custom coding and create an implementation of HttpSessionListener to track user sessions.
    Thanks...
