I need Home directories on local machines, not on server

I'm setting up 10.5 server and OD. I have 10 mac workstations (all 10.4), each with established users and home directories. I have set up new users on the server, in the directory domain the exact same as they are set up on the local workstations (same long name, short name, and password. Obviously they have different UIDs and GIDs). I have user home folder paths set to None, accept the diradmin folder, which is set to /Users.
When I log in as a OD user other than diradmin from a workstation, I see my home folder as "99". I'm not sure why this is, but it appears to create this home folder locally. I don't like this.
When I log in as diradmin from a workstation, it creates a folder home folder called "diradmin" on the local mac. This is better.
Ideally, what I'd like is the home folder always be located on the workstation, even if logging in from a different machine, so preferences, email, tunes, etc. are there. I DON'T want home directories on the server due to bandwidth limitation of our network. I want home directories to say as-is ((on local machines) and just change how users log onto their workstations (using LDAP instead of NetInfo).
Questions:
1. Can I have the same long/short name and password on the workstation, and in the shared directory? If not, will just changing the long name be enough to differentiate, or does the short name also need to change?
2. Is it possible to have my home folders set up as described (living on the local workstation and shared in logging in from a different mac)? If so, how? I've read the apple docs and nothing seems to clearly describe how to do this.
Thanks much.

I had the same question and had some very helpful responses in this thread.

How do you setup a user mobile account, with the home directory stored locally and not synced to the server?

I want to be able to setup a user mobile account, with the home directory stored locally and not synced to the server. What is the best way to do this? I am running Server 10.6 with 10.6 clients. Open Directory will be used to authenticate and manage preferences. Also, this one account will be used simultaneosly in a computer lab setting, so files will be stored locally in the client, hence the need to NOT sync to the server. Any Ideas?

So what does WGM Look like in the Home Tab? afp://servername.domainname/Users? or afp://Users?
The attached screen shots should help you:
You will only have to do this step once. Obviously you want to use the user's shortname here.
Then, you will see this as an option in WGM:

Hi Dee McClanahan,
I suggest you should check whether or not the names are spelled correctly in the topology builder.
If this is not the case, I suggest you can create and publish a new topology.
To remove the published entry run:
remove-CsConfigurationStoreLocation
In addition, I’m a little confused about what you say “Pool consists of Lync Server and SharePoint Server.”
Do you mean that you installed Lync Server and SharePoint Server on the same box ?
Best regards,
Eric

Want OD authentication for logins, but need home folders stored locally

Real quick...
How does one configure Open Directory to allow for users to login to their computers using a network/LDAP authentication, but have their home folders stored locally on their computers. I know how to do this when bound to AD, but can't figure it out using OS X's OD.
Would I set it up the server role to "Standalone Server"? Do the computers need to be bound to AD in order to create "mobile accounts? I don't want them to be able to move from computer to compouter, so I don't need synchronization, just to enforce password policies
Thanks!

Hi
@ Templeton
You may find this useful as this is what I have done before in the past. It’s worked for me. There may be other methods that can be used?
Create an admin account on the client computer and then create an account in the LDAP node in WGM with same name and password. If the account already exists on the client computer then all you need do is the latter. Don’t create a Home Folder as this will be created automatically later on. Launch Directory Access and bind to the server.
It seems to work better if the Server is running DHCP Services although it works OK using static. I have seen authentication problems where an AD Server is providing DHCP Services so bear that in mind – in theory it should work – as ever it depends on how well DNS Services are configured.
As soon as you bind the edu.mit.Kerberos file is created in /Library/Preferences. AS_REQ and ISSUE has done its business and as far as the server is concerned the client is intially authenticated. It will request further pre-authentication later on. You should see this feedback if you consult the kdc.log. If the client connects to the server to access a server based service using the normal methods he/she will receive the Kerberos login window prompt. The user name and Realm will already be filled in. Supply the password and you should then be presented with a list of shares you can access including the home folder. If you select the home folder it will mount on the local desktop and be automatically populated with the usual folders. Of course you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to. That’s it the client has its day ticket for the day and can use the local home folder as normal.
@ Mike
This can be a tricky thing to administer and keep track of, especially if local client account names and passwords don’t match what is on the Server. For 300 Users or more its a lot of work. I had a similar experience myself and as usual cursed myself for not anticipating this need when the server was first deployed. Perhaps Apple may build something into Leopard that can facilitate this need?

cffeed caching works locally but not on server

So I got my new Hostek account set up (woohoo!) and I've started uploading some basic files so I can do thinks like validate my code and make sure everything's working. One thing that does not work (but does locally) is my news feed caching.
Pulling in two RSS feeds was seriously slowing down my index page loading, so I stole a trick from Ray Camden on caching the feeds. It works perfectly on my dev machine at home, but doesn't work on my hosted account.
Here's the exact code being used:
<cfset feedurl = "http://velonews.competitor.com/feed">
<cfset cacheTime = #createtimespan(1,0,0,0)#>
<cfif not structKeyExists(application,"rsscache") or dateDiff("n", application.rsscache.created, now()) gt cacheTime>
    <cffeed source="#feedurl#" query="entries">
    <cfset application.rsscache = structNew()>
    <cfset application.rsscache.data = entries>
    <cfset application.rsscache.created = now()>
</cfif>
<ul>
<cfloop query="#application.rsscache.data#" startrow="1" endrow="6">
<cfoutput><li><a href="#rsslink#">#title#</a></li></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
</ul>
I tried wrapping a try/catch around the top section (above the <ul>) and still got nothing for an error message. The page just stops being rendered at that first <ul>.
I'm not sure why it works locally but not on the web server. Any ideas?

Miraculously, I got it working.
I changed this:
<cfloop query="#application.rsscache.data#" startrow="1" endrow="6">
<cfoutput><li><a href="#rsslink#">#title#</a></li></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
To this:
<cfoutput maxrows="6" query="application.rsscache.data">
<li><a href="#rsslink#">#title#</a></li>
</cfoutput>
And bingo! It worked. Perhaps it's an idiosyncrasy between CF9 and CF10.

Ifs Connection problem from local machine to Ifs server using API

I am trying to make an API call to connect to Ifs database server running on different machine(UNIX) from local machine. I copied all jar files and /Lib/Ifs/Settings directory to my local machine. All these files are in the classpath of weblogic 6.0 environment. A jsp on weblogic server call a bean which has a responsibibility of connecting to Ifs server to get LibrarySession.
From Visual Cafe 4.5 everything works fine but when i start weblogic 6.0 outside the visual cafe environment i get the error
below. I included all the jar files and /Lib/Ifs/Settings in start up script of weblogic server

Have you installed the Oracle client software on the machine where you are running WebLogic and your custom iFS application (your bean)?
It looks like the native JDBC libraries are not available to the JVM where WebLogic is executing your code. iFS uses JDBC to access the Oracle database, and it requires "thick" (OCI8) JDBC to do so. This means that you need Oracle client software to be installed (in an ORACLE_HOME directory) on a computer where you want to use the iFS API.
If you do have the Oracle client software installed already, then perhaps the WebLogic environment isn't configured to have access to the native JDBC libraries. Normally, as long as $ORACLE_HOME/lib is in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (on unix) or $ORACLE_HOME/bin is in the PATH (on windows), stuff should just work.
See if you can find any information about including native libraries (for instance, to use JNI) in the WebLogic documentation. We don't certify with WebLogic, which is why I don't know the answer offhand.

Swf works locally, but not on server

I have an issue with an xml-driven swf file. It plays fine when I test the site locally, but not when it's uploaded to a server. Here is a link to the page. There are many posts on this and other forums describing the same problem, though I can't find the right solution. The only thing it has convinced me of, is that it is probably a pathing problem. I purchased the file online, and instead of one swf and one xml there are about ten of each to make it work. In addition to this there are about 40 .as files. (all this to make it "easier" to customize). Since I plan to use this banner rotator on multiple pages, it will be very unconvenient to upload all these files for every page I make. I checked with support for this product, and was told I could make a flash directory, only duplicating the xml-files for each new page and linking the xml back to the swf-files. Otherwise the support answer was very short and unhelpful. I have renamed every path in the xmls so that it should be right. As I said, the file works locally, so I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
I have posted in adobe forums before, and I have alwas found helpful and kind responses.
Thank you,
Siri

They're all uploaded to the server, it is also possible for me to dowload them from there. When i run the main swf file through flash player debugger, I get this message:
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: file:///Users/Siri/Documents/gullstolen/hjemmeside/flash/produkter/deploy/xml/abrMain.xml

So I guess it can't locate the xml folder (since it is not there), but I don't know how to change the path. I can change it in the xml, pointing to the swf, but how do I do it the other way?
This is the main xml-file:

the abrMain.xml tells the swf what files it shold use, and where to find them, but where do I tell the abrMain.swf to find the xml? Maybe this is an issue for product support instead, though they only answer short and cryptic.

Mobile Accounts not copying home folders to local machine

Having recently upgraded my MacBook to 10.5 (and having a 10.5 server) I have noticed an error with mobile accounts. My account has not synced for a couple of weeks and I have checked all the directory settings and cannot see any errors.
I've removed all directory services and rebooted, put them back and it will create a mobile account but nothing is being copied to the local hdd. So basically it is functioning like a network account rather than a mobile one.
This works fine on our 10.4 clients but having tried different users on my 10.5 system it does the same....creates the account, mounts the server but does nothing else.
This means when you sync it says its complete but does nothing...its like its lost permissions to the folder on the server but that seems very odd.
Anyone else had issues with 10.5? We have an AD server with our users and a 10.5 server with OD replicating AD and holding the home folders.

Are you still ahving this issue?
Would you do like geekinit in this thread and post some partial screen grabs (although is problem included Windows server Active Directory and profile Manager which I will get up to soon.)
Unable to deploy home folder mobility settings through an Apple MDM server
Did you create a fileshare for Local Network accounts to put their stuff
If so where is OS X server?
Did you tell the user in OD to use that fileshare?

Custom WordBreaker working locally but not on server

Hi,
We need to create a fulltext index on a column storing URL paths. So we need a WordBreaker which breaks URL paths according to our needs.
I managed to create a custom WordBreaker based on the existing lrsample example from windows SDK. The dll is registered in Windows registry and the SQL server can see it and use it when building fulltext catalog.
But this only works on my SQL server running locally on my PC. When I try to use the dll for word-breaking on our production server, the server can see the dll but it doesn't use the dll when building the fulltext catalog. I really don't understand why this
is happening. Can be there any security setting which refuses to use external COM modules or something similar to this? I already spent 2 days on this and I'm lost.
Thanks in advance for any help!!!
Pavel

Thanks for your quick response
I tried what you said and I still had no avail...
There is a style.css file in the root directory but for some reason you cant access it...
I checked the file permissions of style.css and they are: 644
Its really wierd - I dont understand why it isnt reading...
Also regarding {www.care.cc} all of my clients websites are under the same web hosting service, so he set the default "404 page not found" redirects to {www.care.cc} which is their "Main Site" as such - I understand that this is bad practice but unfortunatley I have no control over these matters as I have limited access too my clients web hosting.
Thanks again for the Help

Purchase order tutorial works local but not on server

Hello, I have the trial version of LC Designer ES and have been going through the tutorials which work fine locally. I need a PDF form to be populated by an XML file (just like the Purchase Order Tutorial) but located on my web server - so that anyone anywhere can open the form from their browser. I have changed the paths for the Schema and the XML but still no luck. All the files (PDF, XLS, XML) are on the root level of the site. Any thoughts on what I need to do??
Thanks for any help.
jim

Jim,
The primary consideration is the client type.
If your users have Acrobat, then they can import/export the XML, make a direct connection to the database, call a Web Service sitting in front of the database, or call a server-side process to get the data, for example.
If your users have Reader, then you are required to use LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES to rights-enable a PDF. A PDF can be assigned an import/export right, for example. When a user opens a PDF with import/export rights, Reader behaves like Acrobat. The most common use of Reader Extensions ES is to enable a PDF with local save so Reader clients can fill interactive PDF forms and save locally.

FLV runs on local, but not on server using CS4

I have run the insert FLV as a progressive download and it works correctly on live view. Once loaded on the server, it does not work.
http://www.transworldincelectric.com/test.html
I have a folder called Scripts loaded to the server and it contains the two files, expressInstall.swf and swfobject_modified.js.
I have uploaded the flv file, the Clear_Skin_1.swf, and the FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf files.
Are there settings on the web server that may need to be set?
thanks,
Eric

I found the issue.
The server MIME for .flv was not set.

Loads locally but not on server

I am able to run the sample report on our Linux server. I am able to run my report locally, on Windows. However, when I try to run my report on the Linux server, I get:
Cannot open the connection for the driver: org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc.

Works perfect locally, but not on server

The page:
http://www.yale.edu/faith/rc-fwl2.htm
Haven't tested it on the Windows side, but on the Mac, this
file's accordion behaves perfectly on my Mac when testing in
Dreamweaver with both Safari and Firefox. But when I move the file
and the relevant libraries to the server, the accordion doesn't
work at all: all the sections are open and frozen in position.
It would seem as if the file on the server doesn't see the
libraries, but I don't know why it doesn't. I uploaded them in
entirety. They're in the folder 'Spry_P1_6_10-01-07', at the top
level of the root folder, just as it's located locally.
Thank you for your help.
- Gary

Thanks, Don...
I figured out that the problem occurred because of security
restrictions to file access for the Yale University server. I
corrected the problem – made the CSS and JS files accessible
– by moving them into my CSS and script folders,
respectively. No problem getting access at this directory level. I
had been worried about what would happen if these files were moved
out of the framework directory, but it all works file now.

Flash video works locally but not on server

I am hoping that someone can help me solve this problem. I cannot seem to fix it. I have created a flash video and it works fine locally but doesn't when I upload it to the server. All I get is a white blank screen. I can access the Flash settings but the video doesn't display. I have checked all file paths, which are correct since everything is in the same folder. I have looked up other forums trying to find a solution but nothing has worked yet. Does anyone here have any idea on how to solve this problem?
My operating system is Windows XP. I am using IE8 browser and my flash player is up to date. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Nevermind. I ended up solving the problem on my own. This old guide that I used before ended up helping me out. I will post the link here in case anyone else has the same problem.
