Kerberized NFS home folders without being an OD Master/Replica?

Does an OS X server have to be either an OD Master or Replica in order to Kerberize NFS?
I'm trying to run kerberized NFS home folders from a file server that is joined to our OD, but is not a replica of it, and it's not working. The clients log in OK, but say "The home folder for user "x" isn't located in the usual place or can't be accessed."
If I open a Terminal at this point and cd into /Network/Servers/servername/path/to/home, then I can see the NFS mount point which appears to be owned by the user logged in, but I can't cd into the mount point, I get "Permission denied".
Any suggestions?
All clients and servers are 10.6.4.

Yup, this is actually really easy in Mac OS X Leopard. Before you do this, make sure that any local version of the account has been removed from the client computer. Open up the Workgroup manager and go to the user that you want to add the client side home folder for, go to Home, and add a new entry with "/Users/<username>" as the path and click ok. I click Create Home Now just to make sure, I don't know if this is required.
I THINK this is all you have to do, although I do have my clients managed though a Computer Group list that is set to always manage the Login window to show all network users. Obviously only users with their local folder on a particular computer will be able to see their items. This method works great in an environment where users always use the same computer, but because the folder isn't being stored on the server you can't use this method where users will be using multiple computers.

  • Home Folders Not being Created Correctly

    I'm having some sort of major issue with my directory and/or afp setup.
    I'm trying to create new users and the home folder won't be created at all. If I change the permissions (give write access to the user's group) on the root of the share that hosts the home folders it will create one but it is mangled. The home folder only conatins a Library and Desktop Folder. Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, Public, and Sites are missing. Also the permissions on this newly created home are mangled being 700 instead of 755.
    All Existing Users are functioning okay but creating new home folders is broken. It has been a while since I've needed to create new users. I'm worried it may be hard to isolate the cause and effect. I have done software updates 10.4.6 and now 10.4.7. Also I changed this machine to handle local DNS.
    Any Ideas?
    XServe G4 1.0 Single 500GB Mirrored RAID on Internal Drives 10.4.7 Server    

    We also have this problem, and before I go and re-edit the home folder entries for each of our 600-odd users, I'd appreciate if you could confirm that this solution is going to work for me...
    Troubleshooting another problem, we applied the x.4.6 update about the same time as the Network Mounts were turned off then a restart and turned back on again. A bad combination.
    Faced with a Monday morning "None of the students can log in" crisis ("you are unable to log in to the user account "username" at this time..."), and thinking that the problem had been caused by my turning the network mounts off, I discovered that student mount points now show (in WM's Home tab) as "afp://10.224.96.2/Students" where they used to be "afp://mainserver.westlandhigh.school.nz/Students".
    The easy fix to the problem (not knowing about artnum 303697 at that point) was to reassign the home folders to the 10.224.96.2 home. (when you don't know what to do, you do what you know how to do). This got the users happily working again, although there were all sorts of strange problems relating to disk quotas that some users had to work through.
    a few days later the log entries about DNS were noted, artnum 303697 applied, and changeip fixed those things. hostname responds correctly as mainserver.westlandhigh.school.nz. Everything ran reasonably well for the next couple of months, although the AFP/CPU hogging problem mysteriously appeared...
    x.4.7 seems to have solved the AFP/CPU hogging, but now we've discovered a problem creating home folders for new users.
    Tim's fix on 3rd August shed some light... An interesting quirk of using Presets is that we still have a Student preset that puts the FQDN name in the home folders list. So we can leave the FQDN home folder selected, click Create Home Now, and on Save, the folder is created. But the student can't login: "you are unable to log in to..."
    Change the mount point to the IP number, Save, and it almost works - the system tells the user they are already logged in to another computer... Selecting Allow simultaneous login from Advanced solves this problem, but leaves the system open for the student to attempt to log in twice, with the potential for havoc there. It's also not a wonderful work around as the other staff who sometimes enter new users are likely to miss one or more of the extra steps...
    I guess that I'm going to have to turn Network Mounts off in Sharing, and then turn them on again to get the right set of mount points showing in Accounts/Home, and then work my way back through all the students and point them back to the FQDN mountpoint again?
    Is it likely to be worth the pain? Will it cause some other problem to arise? Is there an easier way?

  • User Home Directory not being created when "Create Home Now" button hit...

    This is a cross post, since I was not sure where this should end up since it touches two pieces- Open Directory and User Management. Any help would be appreciated!
    I am running OS X Server 10.5. All of my user accounts have been migrated over along with their home directories. Problem is that when creating new users and then assiging a home directory the system does not actually create the directory.
    Currently all users are setup to have their home directory setup here:
    afp://172.16.110.100/Users/'username'. The Users folder has been setup to automount, and all users that have folders can be accessed without issue.
    The problem is when I create a new user, select the aft://172.16.110.100/Users option and then select "Create Home Now" button and save as it requests... it does not create the directories.
    I have even tried to change the Home patch to make it local to see if it was an network issue, and used the /Users choice and it will not create the directory in that way either- both location go to the same place.
    The system was obviously able to create the local admin account and directory admin account home folders without issue when the system was installed.
    The permissions for the "Users" folder are as follow:
    directory admin = Read and Write
    local admin= Read and Write
    system user (root)= Read and Write
    admin group= Read Only
    everyone group= Read Only
    The system is in production, so any kind of server resets need to be done after 5pm, so I have not been able to reset AFP service.
    Currently the only services running are AFP, SMB and Open Directory.
    All users have their entire home directories located on the server, and login over Directory Access on their clients, so all user accounts are stored on the server. No one is having issues accessing their files or logging in.
    I just can not create new home directories when I create new accounts.

    You do not have to be logged on as the root user to do this. Launch the terminal and type-
    sudo createhomedir -a
    I run an XServe with Tiger server ( 10.4.11) and this has been the workaround I have been using.
    Good luck.

  • HT201250 can a time capsule be used as just a backup for data without being connected to a home network?

    This is the explanation for my my question about whether a time capsule can be used as a backup without being connected to a network.  I had to disconnect my time capsule when I upgraded my landline to a wireless home phone in order to go to a wireless security system that would work with my 2WIRE router. The time capsule blocked the usage of my camera on my security system, not allowing the camera to connect to the 2WIRE router. Once I disconnected the time capsule,  the camera was able to connect wirelessly to the 2WIRE.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    See > https://discussions.apple.com/message/16717724#16717724
    As you can read, you can do what you want. You just have to set up the Time Capsule network in AirPort Utility without connecting it to the router and ignoring the messages, and connect to the Time Capsule network. You will have to switch between the Time Capsule and the other router's networks

  • How to set up Open Directory Users with local home folders?

    Hi folks,
    i set up a Mac mini Server with the services DNS, DHCP, AFP and OpenDirectory running. Everything is working fine so far but i want my OpenDirectory Users to have their home folders locally on the clients harddisk. My Leopard clients are already bound to the directory but everytime i try to login the login window is shaking even when i use the Directory Administrator account. What am i doing wrong?
    Thanks.

    (Did you read my other reply? You need to make it a portable account for the caching of login credentials.)
    With network homes and portable account enabled on a machine you always run from the locally stored homefolder on that machine.
    This homefolder syncs with the server network home folder for that account.
    If either of these folders get corrupt or unintentionally altered files (permission problems) somehow, there is risk of losing files, syncing problems and more (can take long time to sync at login/out, during even without corruption - I prefer gigabit cable to WiFi for this for obvious reasons).
    You at least need to monitor storage space in both places. You don't want either to fill up the disk (worse on server because several users can have their folders corrupted at the same time). Working quota settings / account is probably a good thing.
    And you probably need to decide what is synced : all folders or just some (and when / how often).
    You either do this form the server (you decide) or let the user have some say or a mix of these two.
    You might want to leave out the user's personal files (music, movies and such) and also depending on emaIl client used, maybe not sync email if the client saves it like Entourage does it, in big ever changing database files. Might be better to just backup the mailserver if IMAP based.
    If a user puts other large files in their homefolder (often on the Desktop) they can fill up the server fast. DVD-projects anyone?
    Mixing different versions server/client might not work too good either.
    So having said that, when syncing works it can be really good and you can restore a machine/account fast with pretty recent data. You can if in a hurry even log in from another machine using the account network home folder, getting access to the synced folders/files.
    Using Time Machine it's a one way "sync" (more like "duplicate changed and new files" - which I like) and you have to manually set TM settings on the client for what is going to be backed up and when. I do atleast don't know how to do it from/on the server. This "less intervention by the server" can be a good thing but if your users don't "behave" you might want to be in the drivers seat "saving them from themselves".
    TM backups can grow fast and probably demands more user interaction when storage space is used up.
    As with all "backup" configurations you probably want some rotating media backup of both network homes and/or TM backups so you can do a restore. Of these two, network homes are the more important one to backup "further".

  • Active Directory Authentication, AFP Home Folders in the wrong place!

    Hi,
    I've had this problem off and on... that is, it comes and goes, so I'm not really able to effectively troubleshoot it. My setup is this:
    -Xserve G5, Mac OS X Server 10.4.7
    -OD Master bound to AD for authentication
    -Hosts AFP and SMB shares, all stored on Xserve RAID
    On the RAID, I have a folder called Users (/Volumes/XserveRAID/Users) that is shared via AFP. The system Users folder (/Users) is not shared. In fact, nothing at all on the root drive is shared. All share points are on /Volumes/XserveRAID/. All Mac users' home directory profiles are pointed to \\servername\Users\username (in Active Directory Users and Computers application on our domain controller). Their home directories mount automatically when they log into their client machines (also bound to AD).
    The problem is this; at seemingly random times, a user's home folder will all of a sudden be created in /Users on the server, and it will not use the /Volumes/XserveRAID/Users/ folder. I will clean out /Users every now and again, but the errant home folders show back up. The only folder that should be in /Users is the local admin.
    Since /Users is not even shared, how is it doing this? Why is it that sometimes the /Volumes/XserveRAID/Users share is used (I know this because there are users' files in their folders in the proper place) and sometimes it's going to /Users? Any ideas? Thanks in advance!!
    Going slightly mad,
    Jason

    Hi there,
    Just wanted to share my make-due solution.
    I have setup the automount sharepoint at "/Data/Home".
    When I logged in or tried to use createhomedir in terminal, nothing happened but users could login (even though there was no home folder on the sharepoint for them).
    I have created the Home Folders manually "/Data/Home/username" and then logged in again. When I did this it created two folders in the home dir:
    -Desktop
    -Library
    The other icons related to the home dir on the Dock remain big "?" 's.
    So I manually added them and assigned them the propper rights.
    Now users can log in without any problems, network home folders are working.
    So essentially I got thing s to work, luckily I have only a hand full of Mac Users, Imagine having a user base in the hundreds !
    Thinking about this really makes me want to know how I can fix this problem, I have a make shift solution but this really isn't the way to go. When I use the createhomedir command, it says "creating homedir on servername.domain.net" and it seems to be busy for like 20 - 30 secs, but after that nothing has changed.
    I've checked all possible locations on the server (i thought maybe it might have made local accounts on server by accident, but it didn't.)
    If anyone has ANY idea, please share.
    Thx!!
    Have a nice day

  • Can't add users' home folders to Windows Libraries - "unindexed network location" error

    I am unable to add our users' home folders to their Windows Libraries on client PCs.  Windows is giving an unindexed network location error.
    This worked perfectly fine in WHS 2011, but is failing on WSE 2012 R2 Essentials.
    I've checked the indexing settings on the server, and the correct locations are in fact being indexed. 
    Since several of our clients have limited local storage, I can't solve this by turning on Offline Files.
    Is this behavior by design, or am I seeing a bug? 
    I'm guessing that on WHS 2011 the user folders are special-cased somehow, as normally one would need to include the share root in a library for federated indexing to work correctly.  What is it about WHS 2011 that makes this work, and is it possible
    to replicate these settings on our WSE 2012 R2 server?
    Thank you.

    No, our clients are not domain joined.
    To clarify, I'm not trying to redirect local folders, but rather to add the (automatically provisioned) user folder on the server to local libraries.  Federated search does support this scenario in WHS, so I assume it should work in WSE. 
    Trying to understand why I'm seeing the error.  Thanks.

  • How do i reconnect mobile account home folders after re-install?

    we have problems with our server interfering with the college server. It kept changing our hostname so i had to enable DNS on the second ethernet port on xserve which prevented it from changing it but now is messing up the network as our server is being used for dns by the rest of the college. So i either need to restrict our dns to only answer queeries from specific addresses i.e my laptop and colleagues and forward all of the rest to another dns server. Or i have to re-install the osx server software and change the name to correspond with their servers given name for our xserve. The problem with re-installing it is that the students have a lot of work in their home folders which i can't loose. But i'm aware that the mobile accounts will be tied to the old domain name. Is their any tips you can give us so that i don't loose their home folders and it will sync back the client machines after i have put the new domain name on. I'm also aware that you can export the usernames from workgroup manager but not the passwords. Is there anything else i need to do so that i can just reconnect their accounts to the existing home folders after re-install? In other words i need to know the easiest way to do this to reduce dissruption to students files? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Also will i have to delete the students local folders on their imacs and sync back from the server again?

    ok reinstalled everything dns seems to be working have done sudo changeip -checkhostname and it says that both names match but then i started open directory and can't seem to get Kerberos started, i've tried changing it to stand alone then back again but it does nothing. I'm wondering why this would happen? i've tried adding a kerberos record but it doesn't do it just does nothing so i don't know what i'm doing wrong. I wondered if it might be a problem with the two network cards and dns as on ethernet one it is getting the dns name xserve.xxxx.ac.uk (which matches what the college server wants to call us) but on ethernet 2 gets xserve-2.local because it tells me that it already exists on ethernet one and renames it to this. I need to set up NAT so have ethernet coming in on port one and out again on port two. I wonder if my dns is backwards as its got the 192. address the NAT uses but its linked to the ethernet port one dns maybe this is the problem. would this cause open directory not to start kerberos?

  • 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.)

  • Network home folders owned by (unknown) user.

    I am seeing something strange happening and i will try and describe it as best as i can.
    This is happening in a middle school with about 750 users, 150 emacs(10.3.9) and 1 xserve(10.4.?).
    I am not sure if this is a capacity issue but it seems to happen when there are lots of users trying to log into the computers. There are several different work groups the students can choose from when they log in and at any one time there may be 60 to 100 users logged in with network home folders and 1 or 2 other auto mounting share points.
    Occasionally a few users will not be able to log in. A closer look will show that they are able to get passed the login screen and choose a workgroup and actually log into a desktop environment but they are not able to access their home folder. If you try and access anything in their home folder you will get an error msg informing you that you do not have sufficient access privilages. Of course the documents folder that normally sits on the dock is displayed as a question mark, and trying to launch any application will fail as it cant access the prefs file stored in the users library folder in their network home folder.
    There are a couple different scenarios i have observed when looking at the permission information on the home folders.
    Scenario one: when i look at the permissions on the home folder using get info tool, the owner is a completely different user. Doing an ls -sl from the command line shows the same information.
    Scenario two: when i look at the permissions on the home folder using the get info tool the owner is (unknown). Doing an ls -al from the command line will show the owner as being a number. I assume this is a uid number, and the number is usually a uid that does not show up in workgroup managers current list of users, and i assume this is why the get info tool reports the owner as being (unknown).
    I can fix the home folder by using a chown -r but dont know why this is happening to begin with.
    Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions.
    I have done some research on google but have not come up with anything concrete.

    This is not a definitive answer, but you are certainly pushing the capabilities of a single XServe. As best I understand it, the XServe is really meant to be part of a deployment of OS X server in an environment such as yours. You should really have at least one replica server for authentication purposes and a separate device, such as an XServe RAID, or at least another server to house network home folders. You should at least consider getting another box, even a dual G5 or Mac pro, make it a replica, and split the home dirs between the new box and the XServe. Think about it. You have a lot of users authenticating a buncg of shares and at the same time a bunch of users zipping all sorts of big and little dats files (like office or appleworks files) as well as all the web browser chache files and whatever other cache files are flying around. That's an awful lot for the XServe's network connection, nevermind the read/writes on the HD.
    So honestly, it would be really tough to tell if there;s just a bottleneck causing issues, or some other software/configuration error with that much traffic to a single server.
    And this is in no way meant to be a lecture - I learned a lot by trying a similar feat on my network

  • Network home folders, collaboration sharepoint and Microsoft Word 2008

    I'm hoping someone who knows how Microsoft Word 2008 works on network volumes can shed some light on our situation.
    We run a small managed network with about 15 leopard clients and a leopard server. We've got two sharepoints, a "homes" share for network home folders, and an "Office" share with our shared office document folders.
    Several times a week, users will encounter a situation where Microsoft Word 2008 will claim that a file is open by another user, or that the file can be opened in "read only" mode, even though the file is not in use. Naturally, the problem cannot be replicated when I am present.
    ### My Hypothesis ###
    My users are in the habit of quickly borrowing machines from other users to pull up documents in the "office" share by using the "connect as" button. So, for example, userA is logged in to her machine (and is thus connected to the network home folder on the server). userB comes along and borrows her machine -- without logging out, will connect to the shared office folder, pull up and edit/print a document, etc. We're not currently auto mounting the office share.
    I know that Microsoft Word creates lock folders located in the .TemporaryItems folder at the root level of the "office" share. The folders are named "folder.xxxx", where xxxx is the userid of the account that created the lock folder. Everyone uses a network account, so everyone has a unique userID. If I list the .TemporaryItems folder using the CLI, i can see lock folders that are several days or a week old. So Word doesn't seem to be cleaning up after itself immediately, at least not always.
    So my question: when userB connects to the office share on a borrowed machine (logged in to the client machine using the network home folder of userA), is it possible that word will now create lock folders for userB, and will be unable to clean up lock folders created by userA?
    Anyone have other ideas for investigating the "file in use" problem?

    Switched user back to the network home folder and adjusted the MS Word preferences so that the autorecovery files would be stored on the local client machine. There doesn't seem to be a comparable setting in the Excel preferences.
    My initial testing suggests that this has reduced how often this problem occurs, but has not eliminated it. I tested by repeatedly opening and closing a couple of different word files in rapid succession -- i was able to replicate the "file opens as read only" problem occasionally.
    I've talked to Apple server support about this issue. While they were helpful, they didn't have an explanation or solution for this problem. There are a number of postings in the microsoft mactopia discussion boards site where people report similar problems.

  • QUESTION - Has anyone else recently experienced an iPhone or iPad's alarm going off by itself, without being set by the user?

    Has anyone else had his/her phone alarm (on the clock app) go off by itself, without being set, and with a very weird sound?
    Happened to me at 11:34 pm last night (Oct 28, 2013). I'm using an iPhone 5 with iOS 6.  Sound was named something like "Orari" and sounded like a woo-woo ghostly alarm. I immediately swiped to stop the alarm and then deleted the alarm, which I had NOT set, but which seems to have set itself.  The iPhone was plugged into my iMac at the time.  There is no such sound on my phone or, it seems, anywhere (I Googled).
    The night before, Oct 27, something similar happened to my iPad mini running iOS 6 ... also plugged in to recharge, but at a wall socket ... the sound was like a fire or smoke alarm.
    I know it's Halloween week, but some of us need our sleep!
    Any explanations?

    Hi Littleleslie,
    Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen comes up, double tap the Home key and make sure you don't see the Alarm app in the list of background apps. If you do, swipe up on the thumbnail for it to close it out completely.
    Then all you can do is wait to see if it will let you sleep through the night!
    Good luck!

  • How did I get two "home folders"?

    I suddenly got into problems with my backup because the home folder did not have the usual content. When I try to see what happened, it looks like I have two "home" folders.
    When I select Go>Home from the men, it looks like this:
    And when I click on the Data drive below the Data folder, it looks like this:
    The juliusson-folder in the second image is the one that I thought was the home folder. It contains the stuff that I want to back up.
    Can someone see from this what could be wrong? I don't really know how it should look.
    When this happened, I also lost my user settings.

    I don't know if I moved the Home folder out of the start up drive on purpose It could have been part of my original configuration.
    I set up my computer years ago by following some online instructions for an optimised set up for Photoshop work. I have three drives installed. One 1TB drive and two 2TB drives. The instructions that I followed were meant to put the system and programs on one drive (also used as scratch drive) and then have images and other stuff on the other two. Those two were set up as a mirrored RAID configuration.
    Everything has worked fine for over three of years. Could the problems be caused by an accidental folder move?
    It's hard to understand how an accidental folder move would cause this - the home folder path is also set within the system configuration. That means you can't just use any old folder as the home folder location.
    I guess it's possible an accident moved it, but then there would have been some user interaction to have agreed to use it in the new location. It seems likely that you somehow managed to use the OS when the Data disk was offline - the folder got created in place of the old home folder, that caused a new one to be made (new home folders get the default template with Desktop, Documents, Music, Pictures etc).
    Have you got another user account on the system? Is that user an admin?  Does that user work OK?
    You will need an admin account to fix this issue, please create one & leave the home folder for the admin on the main boot disk.
    Do you have any data that you need within the current home folder (the new one inside the Data folder)?
    Your original settings will be saved in the original home folder, but that is not being used at present. If you can abandon the new home folder here is what I suggest…
    Disable automatic login if it is enabled - you need to stop logging in as 'juliusson' whilst you fix this, it can be re-enabled when it is fixed.
    Create a new admin user account in 'System Preferences > User & groups', this is as a backup to allow you to manage the computer whilst fixing the home folder.
    Reboot, login as the new admin account.
    In 'System Preferences > User & groups', unlock the panel with the admin password (click the padlock)
    Select the 'juliusson' user account, right click (or ctrl+click) the name & select 'Advanced Options…' in the popup.
    Look at the 'Home Directory:' path. That needs to be set to the old location. By default that should be /Users/juliusson, yours looks like it should be  /Volumes/Data/juliussonIf you are unsure use the Finders 'Go menu > Go to Folder…' to open '/Volumes/Data/juliusson' confirm that it contains some of your old user files.*
    Save the correct path in the 'Home Directory' setting & reboot (do not edit any other Advanced fields)
    *NOTE: In steps 6 you probably will not see the correct path since the Data folder is occupying the same location that the Data disk uses. To get around this you will need to rename the Data folder insider /Volumes, and reboot. I'd suggest you move the user home inside the Data folder to a new location as a backup & then delete the entire Data folder in /Volumes/. A reboot will be required to allow the Data disk to mount into the /Volumes/Data location. Once it mounts correctly login should work.
    You can merge the home folders as Barney suggested, but this is probably safest via a manual approach unless you are willing to spend time & are experienced in comparing files with apps the can do selective copying (ChronoSync for example).
    Please ask if you are unsure about any of this - it's major changes to your user data setup - a full backup is essential before beginning. Setting the home path is the correct way to relocate a home folder once the data is moved.
