Lion Server: new user can't connect

This is a local ethernet network, Mac Mini running Lion Server 10.7.4.
I created 2 new users with Server app, same specs as already existing users, but can't connect to the server with the new id's. I just don't undrestand what I'm missing. The old id's all work perfectly when I try to connect.

Check your Services' ACL with Server Admin. It may happen that the new users are included in groups which are allowed for some services, but the new users are not included automatically in this group.

New user can't connect to aiport express!

Hello! Our little office has purchased airport express to wirelessly connect our USB printer to the three users in the studio. We were hoping it would just be plug and play, but we're getting the flashing amber light. I guess it's because there are lots of wireless networks floating around (being London, with lots of people) and it doesn't know which to connect to.
How do I tell it which network to connect to? Or if my logic is all wrong, what do I do to set up properly?
Some technical specs:
We're on BT broadband with a wireless router brand 2wire, connecting to 3 Macs.
Thank you!

How do I tell it which network to connect to?
You tell it to join the network name of your BT broadband 2wire.

10.6.8 Server. New Users can not authenticate

We have two Xserves (one OD Master, one replica) running OS X 10.6.8 Server and about 100 client macs all running 10.6.8.
We have a problem when adding new users in WorkGroup Manager. Users seem to be added correctly (no errors), and all info matches existing/previous users in WGM (including Kerberos and apple password entries). New users can not log into their Macs, nor authenticate to mount any volumes that also authenticate through our Master OD server. What's odd is that we can edit passwords, etc in existing/previous users and they are updated on the client end. We have also verified logs and compared new users authentication logs to existing and the logs say that the users authenticate successfully.
We are at a loss as what to do next. Any ideas?

New user can't update private UDDI repository

I created a new user, wsdeveloper
I connected to the uddi browser
http://xxxx.usuwd.astrazeneca.net:60001/uddiexplorer/index.jsp
I tried to Publish to Private Registry
Logged on as wsdeveloper
Tried to publish a new contact and got the following error:
An error has occurred
E_fatalError(10500): a serious technical error has occurred while processing the
request. 'try to access method weblogic.security.SubjectUtils.isUserInGroup(Lweblogic/security/acl/internal/AuthenticatedSubject;Ljava/lang/String;)Z
from class com.acumenat.uddi.security.weblogic.WebLogicAuthModule'
If I repeat the process using the system account, it works ok.
So how do I grant the new user write access to the uddi repository ?
Regards,
Mike

Raj,
It didn't work for me :(
wsdeveloper is now in groups: operators and deployers
And I get the same error. If I add wsdeveloper to administrators it works but
I don't want developers to have admin privs. And I don't want admin to have to
maintain the UDDI repository...
I'm using the following versions:
WebLogic Server 7.0 Thu Apr 25 17:16:22 PDT 2002 180709
WebLogic XMLX Module 7.0 Thu Apr 25 17:26:07 PDT 2002 180709

Hello Mike,
Can you try adding the user wsdeveloper to group operators ?
I created a new user who belonged to group operators. I was able to login
as
this user and publish to the private registry.
Hope this helps.

WinXP AD users can't connect via SMB

Server is an Intel Xserve, 10.5.8.
Windows users get authentication errors when attempting to connect via SMB on the Mac server. The server is bound to Active Directory, and the Mac users are able to connect via AFP just fine. Macs also cannot connect via SMB. I get the error message "NTSTATUS_WRONGPASSWORD" when the user attempts to log in.
Local users are able to connect via SMB, but I don't want to re-enter a dozen or so PC users on this server if I can avoid it.
In the /var/db/smb.conf file there is an entry for a password server that may not be correct, but if I change it to the password server I've been instructed to use, the file flips back to the original setting when I stop and start the SMB service. I think if I make changes to the /etc/smb.conf file outside the END section, where the comments say to make changes, they will carry over to /var/db/smb.conf, but I'm not sure of the syntax.
If you need me to post the testparm output I can do that.

You're going to have to look into potential underlying issues.
I don't know what's happened for you, but I have an identical type setup for a client done over a year ago and no such problems have occurred.
What does the UNEDITED (please !) result of (using the Terminal) the following show:
cat /Library/Preferences/edu.mit.Kerberos
What happens when a user can't connect (error message, loginwindow shake) ? Are all client machines & the server using a common (eg internal) time-server ?
Be sure to see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300765
And certainly read through Bombich' excellent PDF (click on the icon of it) at
http://www.bombich.com/mactips/activedir.html - esp. the troubleshooting section
for when a user is unable to login.
Currently, I'm not able to check/verify the settings for any of the servers I've setup for clients in a "magic triangle" setting. I'm not certain about the "passwordserver" entry,
on the one hand the actual passwordserver is actually part of

Lion server : local user account disappear after power outage

On the server computer.After power outage I restart server the machine starts up ok.At login screen local user name disappear but there's others account same as client computer.I can log in to network account but can't log in as local.
In sytem preference local user account is still there.
I don't want to reinstall lion server .
What can i do now?
Thank you for your assistance.

It sounds like the user directory is damaged. You might try booting into the recovery partition, running Disk Utility, and doing a Repair Volume (and maybe a repair permissions) on the server volume.

Hi Jason
I was getting the same behavior after Apple support had me delete some plist files to get Airplay going. I was also getting the following error:
the error occurred while processing a command of type 'writesettings' in the plug-in 'server vpn'
I went into ~/Library/Preferences/ and /Library/Preferences/ and deleted every plist contating the word server. I had to re-set up my server (meaning walk through some intial steps) but all of my settings were still there after that and everything started working again.
Just a thought, obviously try at your own risk but it worked for me.

After changing a mail list name in Server end, users can't see the update in outlook client

Dear all,
This is a real issue. I am a Help-desk in a global company and after changing a mail list name in Server end, users can't see the update in outlook client. Even I download Offline address book in full detail, user still can't see the change in her outlook.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Franklin hong

Hi,
Would you please detail what you did by "changing a mail list name in Server end"? What is the mail list and what server?
If you switch to Online Mode instead of Cached Exchange Mode, does the user see the change?

OS X Server 3 new installation - network users can`t connect - what the h... am I doing wrong ?!?!

Mac Server 3 drives me crazy ...
I have a brand new MacMini here with Maverick on board, and two brandnew Macbook Air and 3 27"iMac that I want to set up as small office. The MacMini should act as Server (with two thunderbolt harddisks connected) for the rest. So far the theory, meanwhile I´m the reality of Server 3 ...
Having years of experience with "normal network" solutions like filesharing etc. I had a look at Server 3 and thought it couldn`t be that complicated to set it up - but meanwhile I`m disillusioned.
I`ve now completely reinstalled the MacMini and the Server the third time, connected directly to the Airport Extreme, started filesharing and started the Server app. afterwards. Then I just
- opened the settings of the server, set up a local network (xxx.local)
- activated push-notification and got a ceritficate
- started the profile manager
- started open directory
- started started the DNS server
- started file sharing (creating a new folder on the MacMini, offering user folders via SMB or AFP (tested both))
- started the other services (calendar, contacts, etc.)
- opened ports for the public services on the AirportExtreme
- set up a testuser (network user), giving access to all services
- gave the test user access to the network folder created
On the Macbook Air i used for testing I registered the network account server (getting a green light afterwards), put the hook at "allow network users to sign on" (I even coot see the test users name there).
But after switching to the login I only got normal users on the MacBook Air. Switching the "allow network users to sign on" sometimes resulted in a third user "other" where I could enter the Username and password - but : no result - just as explained several times in this thread ... :-( :-(
The last three days I tried several setups, switch and renamed, issued certificates, tried out the profile manager and registered the MBA, set up the user folder via AFP and SMB, ...
But : no access to the network user granted ...
Just read the last lines of the Protokoll after my last attempts and could read "connection invalid" and "connection denied" several times in it ... does anyone have an idea what`s going wrong here ?!?!??!
I really need to set up this server a.s.a. possible and am really frustrated about this really not Apple like behaviour of this software *eyesroll* ...
Any help appreciated !

Hi,
sorry, but frustration continues ... here`s what I did :
- complete did the forth reinstall of the MacMini, new Maverick, all updates. Then installed the server.app
- delete all network connections except the Ethernet, gave it a static IP 10.0.1.201
- started the server app, renamed the computername and the hostname
Result :
- This automatically started the DNS server - i just checked this and found a server.dizwo.private entry pointing at the 10.0.1.201. According to your proposal I entered a second entry with "dizwo.private" pointing at the same IP 10.0.1.201 (named "server") - as you didn´t respond to my request above the entries are only guesses
- on the AirportExtreme I opened the ports for all necessary services
- I created a public user folder with all necessary access types (using SMB for the user folder)
- created network user pointing at this folder
- checked whether it has access to all services (was already preset) and gave him access read/write to the user folder
- last but not least i started the OpenDirectory server showing availibility of the OD server at server.dizwo.private
... and then ?
On the MacBook Air and on another iMac I first had a look whether I get access to the user folder on the server. I could see it in the finder windows and got access, okay - fine.
Then I want to set up the OD server in the user settings on the clients - but in contrary to my earlier tries I didn`t got the OD server name, but simply a "server.local".
Trying to enter the "server.dizwo.private" simply resulted in a "host not found" ??!?!
You can imagine how frustrated I`m now about all this stuff - I`m Apple user since more than 20 years and haven`t seen such weird behaviour of an Apple software before - not user friendly in any matter ... .
This server software is advertised and looking like to be an easy to use front end to create a server, even the "manuals" (not that I would tell them so ...) do so. But it looks like it`s really more a trial and error thing when you do the installation ...
So : what I did I do wrong now ? Is there anything that I missed ? Is it a certificate thing (I didn`t set up a custom one but used the intermediate one preinstalled) ? Or another network issue ? The DNS server ? The OD server ? The naming of the server ?
I really urgently need help - need to set up this server the next 2 weeks !!
any help appreciated !!

Mountain lion 10.8.2 can not connect to windows NAS server Dell Sentinel

I recently upgraded to 10.8 OS My office is connected to a NAS server Dell Sentinel WD4000. Everything was working fine until the upgrade from 10.7 to 10.8 Now when I "connect to server" Not one of my accounts can connect. All I get is wrong password. The server connects to every computer on the network except the 10.8 The server shows up as an icon on Shared Devices.
Someone please help me. Apple has been useless.

I hope this helps. But, Apple has confirmed a significant bug in 10.7.4 that breaks SMB. Their support says they are working on it, but they do not know when the fix will be released. It has broken SMB at all sites I support including my own location where Lion server has the updated version as well. Only AFP works but not consistently. The suggestion is to restore 10.7.3 from a backup or wait until the fix is released. SMB does work - but only when admin authentication is used on Mac servers - don't know about Windows Servers. I do know the client side of Mac's also are affected with SMB issues. Good luck!

Vista users can't connect to 10.5.6 Server

Hello world...
I have a problem connecting users running Vista to Mac OSX Server 10.5.6; I've done a search here but I didn't find anything useful.
When Vista try to connect to the server with a valid username/password it is rejected, but if I try to connect from a XP client it connects without any problem.
Anyone can help me?
Thank you

If you don't want extensive details around Microsoft Windows variants and offerings, please stop reading now.
Microsoft Windows XP has (had?) Home, Professional, Media Center Edition, Tablet PC Edition, Professional x64 Edition, and the Windows Vista flavors include (included?) Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, Ultimate and Enterprise Edition, and the Windows Server 2003 variant has (had?) 32-bit, 64-bit x64, and 64-bit Intel Itanium variants, and has (had?) Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter editions.
Caveats: The Microsoft product offerings list has very likely changed since I researched this particular list of Windows offerings a year or two back. Some packages that I suspect are no longer offered include Windows XP 64-bit for Itanium, and probably some others. There are cases where the names of the various Windows editions have changed, as well. These Windows editions can and often do vary in capability and platform support, and in regional availability. And I haven't been looking at the MS-DOS-descended platforms; only at the NT descendants.
Not all of these Windows variants have the secpol.msc tool. AFAIK, the Windows XP Home and Windows Vista Starter and the Home variants do not. I'm not sure about Windows XP 64-bit for Itanium as I wasn't running that for very long; that was probably the Professional variant, so it would have had the secpol.msc tool.
When presented with the basic "I can't connect to CIFS/SMB/Samba share or a NAS device" problem report, I usually edit the registry key for the user. That tends to works on more of the variants than the secpol.msc tool. But both are valid approaches.
Please check with Microsoft for the current Windows product offerings, features and related details. And for the correct means for adjusting NTLM authentication. In particular, do read the Microsoft knowledge base articles including [KB954387|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/954387], and various others.
Now if y'all will excuse me, it is time to go debug some Cocoa code.

Exteral Users can't connect to the EDGE server

HI All for about a week and half now I've been seeing this error a lot on my event logs. All my external users are no longer able to connect to the DMZ EDGE server with 3 external IP's. They can only use LYNC if they access out VPN. Any suggestions on what
may be the issue???
Log Name:      Lync Server
Source:        LS Protocol Stack

Event ID:      14428
Task Category: (1001)
Level:         Error
Keywords:      Classic
User:          N/A
Computer:      LyncEdge.*********.net
Description:
TLS outgoing connection failures.
Over the past 16 minutes, Lync Server has experienced TLS outgoing connection failures 176 time(s). The error code of the last failure is 0x80090330(SEC_E_DECRYPT_FAILURE) while trying to connect to the server "**********.osis.is.local" at address
[10.111.111.8:5061], and the display name in the peer certificate is "Unavailable".
Cause: Most often a problem with the peer certificate or perhaps the host name (DNS) record used to reach the peer server. Target principal name is incorrect means that the peer certificate does not contain the name that the local server used to connect. Certificate
root not trusted error means that the peer certificate was issued by a remote CA that is not trusted by the local machine.
Resolution:
Check that the address and port matches the FQDN used to connect, and that the peer certificate contains this FQDN somewhere in its subject or SAN fields. If the FQDN refers to a DNS load balanced pool then check that all addresses returned by DNS refer to
a server in the same pool. For untrusted root errors, ensure that the remote CA certificate chain is installed locally. If you have already installed the remote CA certificate chain, then try rebooting the local machine.
Thanks Dave Wolf

Verify root certs exist in the Trusted Root Certification Store.

New user can't access server

We are using Small Business Server 2011. It's been a long time, more than three years, since I created a new user. I went to the Standard Console and followed the Add
New User Wizard. I assigned the user to her computer. When she logs on, she can access e-mail but can't get to the shared drives on the computer. I tried on my computer, logged her in, and it's the same scenario. What am I doing wrong? I know it's something
simple, but all the users in the Standard Console, including the new two, have the same boxes checked.

Hi,
Based on your description, would you please let me confirm whether just the new created user encountered this
issue, or all users? Did new created user use other function as normal? Such as Remote Web Access.
à
can't get to the shared drives on the computer
Did you mean mapped drives? If can’t access, would you please let me know the complete error message? Or the
drive was not displayed when the new user logon the client computer? If anything I misunderstand or any update, please don’t hesitate to let me know. It may help me to understand clearly.
By the way, please run
SBS BPA and check if find relevant issues.
Hope this helps.

Users can only connect to RD farm website and cannot remote into terminal server , when connected via VPN

Hello,
I have a RD farm using 3 Win 2012 servers (1 broker and 2 session host), for internal use only, have not
configured gateway for internet access.
Users are able to connect to RD farm website and remote into terminal server, within office
but can only connect to RD farm website and cannot remote into terminal server , when connected via VPN
Its takes long time at securing connection and fails.
Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
First of all I would suggest you to configure RD gateway role on your server and pass all the connection through it because it’s a best practice to use RD Gateway in RDS Farm.
Apart from this, if you are not using RD Gateway then you must check that you have successfully forwarded port 3389 for RDS to access via VPN. Also check that you have made configuration under IIS Manager to enable Forms Authentication. Please check
this link.
In addition, please refer beneath article for additional details.
