Lion Server WebDav Login troubles

I have a Mac Mini running Lion Sever. I have File sharing enabled and my Group folder has AFP, SMB and WebDav enabled. From my iPad, using Pages I cannot connect to the account on the server. The syntax of the login is;
https://192.168.1.99/webdav/
-username-
-password-
I get back, 'An error occurred. Please try again.'
Any suggestions as to where to start troubleshooting?
thanks

Here is a snap shot of the log I'm getting
Jan 30 09:56:47 testdev org.apache.httpd.webdavsharing.monster.51468[4993]: Syntax error on line 18 of /etc/apache2/httpd_webdavsharing_sharepoints.conf:

  • Mountain Lion Server Workgroup Login Selections

    Hi All,
        I am installing a Mountain Lion Mac Mini server which is replacing our Snow Leopard Mac Mini server.
    The system is bound to 2008R2 ADS. When I log into the Snow Leopard Server from a client I am presented with which group I would like to log in to as in ADS I am a member of two groups. ie admins and staff. This is how we have set it up so all is good there.
    The issue that I am having is that the groups are not being being presented on the client when logging into Mountain Lion Server although the configuration on the two servers is the same.
    Has anybody experienced this problem before? Maybe this is now default behaviour with Mountain Lion server? The problem is its automatically logging us in with the most restrictive group so we have no admin rights on the clients.
    Thanks in advance for any info!!

    I had this problem on a clean install.
    The solution was incredibly simple for me, but only  after I saw Ross.M's note about opening the Users & Groups settings panel (in the OS System Prefs, not in server) and rebinding to OD server under Login Options.
    That was not the solution for me, but under Login Options I discovered a previously unnoticed pref for "Allow network users to login at login window."  I had this option set (apparently by default) to "Only these network users:"  but with an empty list.  Adding my users to the list made it work perfectly.

  • Why can't i connect my iPad to mac lion server WebDAV service?

    I am trying to connect my iPad to my WebDAV service on my Mac server lion version

    The account is fully set up for the 3G p month but most of the time the network won't even allow me to get to my account. I have also reset my network a couple of times but this did not help either. I feel like I am wasting money.

  • Lion Server, Users login to Lion Box and Snow Box. EXPERIENCES...

    OK so,
    In this early doors Lion days, has anyone experimented with dual OS environments at all yet.
    Has anyone got any Pros/Cons!
    Any issues or is all swimmingly.
    My users use iCloud, is there an order I should login, I am guessing that users should login to Lion Box, sign in with iCloud then login to Snow Box. Not sure what issues this will throw up but it'd be good to know i'm not alone in this scenario.
    I am setting up a sandbox myself so will report back with any findings that I can.
    Would be good to keep this thread going with anyones experiences
    Cheers

    Austin,
    I'm currently using OpenLDAP 2.4 so I am considering to downgrade. I'm not using RFC 2307 mappings but a custom mapping extending the RFC 2307 mappings with apple specific attributes like apple-mcxflags. (I'm using a apple.schema)
    In my GitHub repository I'm implementing a method to automagically install OpenLDAP on Ubuntu for Apple clients so I can install this within 5 minutes since I became crazy entering the commands every time trying to get my clients to bind. Did all this before Lion came out so I updated some clients and they now refuse to login.
    I will extend the script with the removal of the supported SASL mechanisms so the stuff in the article isn't necessary anymore.
    Are your Lion clients able to complete the login cycle (authenticate, mount homedir) with your OpenLDAP 2.3 setup?
    Also, how do your automount entry's look? Can you post the one with the home directories? Curious if it might be related to me changing the mount points.

  • Webdav on Lion Server

         Hi i have a xserve early 2008 intel running lion server and the other day when i went to go connect to the webdav via my ipad/ iphone through Pages.app on iphone/ ipad and i entered in my server information and credentials and then i went to go connect and it said, " An Error Occured, Please try again later. i tried to login under a network account user and it had that error then i when to login under the local server account and it connected right away...? makes no sense.
    Anyone have any ideas for this problem, i know its a common problem, but to fix the problem, to login though network user, than the local server account.
    Thanks Austin

    it was able to login with a network credentials over webdav through ipad/ iphone but then i couldn't save and or get files

  • Trouble connecting to Lion server AFP shares after changing server's hostname

    Hello everyone,
    I recently changed hostname of my Lion server box (via Server application) and now my clients are having a problem when trying to connect to its AFP shares via aliases. It takes 160 seconds of "resolving alias to <sharename>" before it finally works. Aliases were created by navigating to the server, connecting with "Connect As", providing valid credentials, then navigating one level up and dragging the share icon (blue disk with three white people outlines) to the Desktop with Option-Command.
    What is interesting, if I create a new account on a client machine, create an alias, and click on it - it works without any delay, as it was for the clients that are having problems now; so I'm assuming some details about the previous server name got cached somewhere.
    The clients with long delay problems can access the shares quickly if they click on the server in the Finder window drawer, then "Connect As" and provide their login credentials - it works instantly then.
    I've been digging around quite a bit (deleting Keychain saved Network passwords for any and all references to the server I could find), and also by looking at kerberos logs on the server. What is interesting, the newly created clients I mention above who don't have delay with connecting, don't leave any records in the kerberos log file; but the ones that have 160 second delay do - there's nothing for 160 seconds, and then there is a flurry of activity, as the connection is finally established.
    When a client who has trouble connecting uses the "Connect As" method described above, entries in the Kerberos log are created instantly when client clicks connect.
    Probably also worth noting that renaming of the server was related to me setting up Open Directory on it.
    Any pointers would be greatly apprecited.

    I experienced almost exactly the problems you described. I also found that connecting via command line using mount_afp worked right away... and once the connection is established, mounting via finder was super fast.
    Tried all kinds of craziness on the client, even a full Time Machine restore.
    Tried fixing Open Directory.
    I was absolutely stumped by what was happening, but then thought, Hmm. I'm wondering if it's related to MobileMe going down? I noticed it started to happen after July 31...
    Success! That was it! Signing out of MobileMe in System Preferences made everything work the way it should!
    CDPlayer2: check if the clients are signed in to MobileMe, and if signing out fixes things - I'd appreciate it if you could post your results. Thanks.

  • I'm trying to use Mountain Lion Server so my family can have separate logins via Screen Share to their iTunes.

    Using Mountain Lion Server so my family can have separate logins and connect via Screen Share.
    Works great, each has their own home directory and permissions are perfect.
    Now setting up iTunes for each with their own Library (not shared), thus keeping multiple Libraries.
    I get this;
    This Computer is already associated with an Apple ID.
    If you download past purchases with your Apple ID, you
    cannot auto-download past purchases with a different
    Apple ID for 90 days.
    What!
    So what it is on the same computer, they are completely separate Libraries never to be mixed.
    If this works, I only need to keep one computer up and running, instead of three.
    Each can do their syncing/backup and connect to the various Airplay/AppleTVs I have around the house.
    How do I fix this.
    Thanks

    Bottom line is you can't - easily.
    You need to make sure that you log out of the server each time otherwise the ID is running. To explain, if you had a laptop with different people using it, your solution works fine. Each time someone logs in, the iTunes ID is different so it works as you can only have one person using the laptop at any one time.
    Now, turning your problem inside-out, you want people to be able to log into iTunes concurrently to use their own version of the program with their own library. This does not seem to work and you get the conflicted ID error message. Even though iTunes is running under their own login ident, I have never been able to get this working reliably and was told that iTunes is NOT a network-aware application as it is designed to be single user.
    The way I got around this was to login as XYZ and to make sure that the ID was changed in iTunes accordingly. However, it did not always work so I gave up with the whole thing.

  • Mac OSX Lion Server Network User Login Issue

    We have in the office a server running Mac OSX Lion, and several network users who've all been running happily for quite a will.
    About a month ago I was added to the system, and initially we had a few issues relating to the home directory, but we changed 'something' and it all worked.
    Fast forward to now, and we've added a new user - Hannah - to our system.
    I've added her in the Workgroup Manager, and set her up everywhere I can find on the server. Her home directory creates on the server fine.
    She appears in the Logon list on the client machines, and here's where the trouble starts...
    Every time she tries to log on, it fails. The logon box just bounces or wobbles as though the password is incorrect. We've tried changing the password, to no avail. We've tried adding new test users - same problem.
    We've tried sudo kinet on the Terminal as a local user, with variable results.
    I'm at my wits end, and really hoping someone here can help offer some suggestions or advice we can work through to get to the bottom of this.
    Thanks in advance!

    Your problems are likely occurring because you added her to the directory with Workgroup Manager.
    You should really start avoiding WGM when at all possible as Apple is clearly moving away from it. Because of this, things don't always work as expected when using 'legacy' tools like WGM.
    My guess as to what your problem is: When you create a new user in Server.app, two things happen for you automatically that WILL NOT HAPPEN if done from WGM.
    First the user is added to the default "Workgroup" group.
    More importantly (and the source of much confusion), the user is automatically added to SACLs.
    Check the SACL for the user in Server.app, I bet you'll notice that they aren't a member of the File Sharing group like they should be. To solve this problem, you can either delete the user and recreate them in Server.app, or manually add them to the appropriate SACL.
    I would opt for recreating them in Server.app if I were you, as I don't trust user accounts that originate in WGM on Lion Server.

  • Lion server - profilermanager mydevices login

    Trying to get profile stuff working.
    I have mac mini running lion server
    I created a couple of network accounts.
    When one of those users goes to the mydevices page (http://<servername>/mydevices) to enroll a device, I get a login prompt. This always fail with invalid username or password. Currently, only my admin account can logged in.
    mac mini server is running open directory server of course since that is required for profile manager.
    thanks!

    It is buried at the bottom of the list on the front page, I found it by looking for 'server' in the search box, or I wouldn't even know it existed

  • Server admin is unable to login to server.app after upgrade to Mountain Lion Server?

    After upgrade to Mountain Lion Server I am unable to login to the server tools. When I input the admin user name and password the dialog box just shakes indicating the wrong password. But it is the correct password. How do I reset the password or if necessary how do I rest the server and start over on Mountain Lion. I found info on how to reset the server on previous versions of the server which involved executing a plist in the LaunchDaemon folder. However that file does not exist on the server following upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    Thanks, Howard

    I upgraded today and had the same issue. I took following steps to fix my computer.
    Boot into Recovery Partition (Hold Option Button while booting)
    Open Terminal.
    Type resetpassword
    Select your hard drive
    Select the user account (Administrator)
    Enter a new password for the user
    Reenter password
    Save
    Restart
    Boot normally, Login as Adminstrator with the new password and add "Admin" permission to your account.
    Restart
    Everything should be working as expected

  • Server App can't connect to a Mountain Lion server

    Hi,
    I installed OS X Mountain Lion Server (2.2.1) on a 2012 Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.4. I am able to access all the options using the Server.app on the Mini. Then I installed the Server.app (2.2.1) on a 2010 MacBook Pro running 10.8.4. On trying to configure the Server options on the Mac Mini from the MacBook Pro by providing the correct Mac Mini admin credentials, the password is not validated correctly. This happens when both the systems are on the same network or on different networks.
    I am certain that the username / password provided is correct, since using the same credentials I can successfully remote into the Mac Mini using Apple Remote Desktop (3.6.1) when both the systems are on the same network or on different networks.
    My situation supersedes the resolution provided in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3960?locale=en_US. Note that the command sudo launchctl list | grep -q com.apple.servermgrd && echo loaded || echo not loaded returns loaded on the Mac Mini.
    Please help!

    I am having exactly the same setup and exactly the same problem - nevertheless I would like to add some more information in order to hopefully find / get help from other readers in here.
    I am using DynDNS - not a dedicated domain. I do not utilize an AirPort Extreme for port forwarding and else. All the necessary port forwardings were triple checked!
    - First of all "Apple Remote Desktop" is able to connect to my server over the internet (screen sharing) and locally in my LAN. No troubles here.
    - My iOS devices can connect using various VNC clients without any troubles.
    - VNC connections started within Safari (MacBook Pro) do work very well, too.
    - All kinds of WebDAV connections are working like a charme.
    - When connecting with "Server.app" from my MacBook Pro it asks if I would like to trust the self-signed certificate before I can enter name and password. After trusting that certificate it doesn't matter which account information I am entering: none is accepted. It does not make any difference if I am using a local user account or a user network account (both configured as being allowed to administer that server). "Server.app" does not accept any information provided.
    I've been following the KB advice, too that c xavier mentioned. "servermgrd" is loaded!
    For some odd yet unknown reason neither WAN nor LAN FTP login does work, too. It just gives me a time out, as already mentioned WebDAV is working fine.
    Sorry I could not help You, c xavier! I just thought that some additional information could help...

  • How do I access files with an iPad on a Lion Server?

    One of the reasons I upgraded fron Snow Leopard server to Lion server is to access files from an iPad and iPhone.  I see in the File Sharing sharepoint configuration box the iOS checkbox, but how do I get to the files from the iPad?

    Thank you for shaking my brain!  I kept looking for a file structure to show up, such as Fidner.  Your answer got me thinking correctly. Instead of looking for a "Finder", I opened Pages on my iPad and touched "+" then "copy from webdav".  From there I got a login screen and typed https://servername.com/webdav plus my credentials and it got me right to the files on the server!  I can now access files on my server from my iPad and can save the changes back!  It works both on the local network and remotely!  Thanks again!

  • Lion server - is it right for me?

    We are currently using a Mac Mini in our small office for file serviing. It is running 10.6 (NOT server). I have some software running on it that allows me to set up "mount points" for different user groups. I run the mini headless, and am able to "screen share" via the local network or through my MobileMe account using "back to my mac."
    The setup works fairly well, but can be difficult to administrate.
    I am considering the jump to Lion server. Looking past the marketing department descriptions I want to make sure it is the right choice for me. Here are some of the things I am doing and would like to do:
    - I would like to continue sharing files. We have about 5 users. I would like to be able to set varying levels of access for each person. I can do this on an individual basis but would also like "workgroup" permissions/access.
    - Right now we only have local access (except for my admin login). Ideally I would like to have the same file access (with restrictions and permissions) extended to sharing files via internet. Even better if I could limit which files or folders are available over the net for all except me.
    -Looking beyond file sharing, I am interested in the WebDAV features discussed on the promo page. The short description of these features seems like I can basically run an iDisk on my mini. I can then let workers upload and download pages/keynote/number documents. We can also use this to coordinate calendars locally and across the internet. Plus it will sync with our iPads and iPhones. Am I understanding this correctly?
    -Along the same lines, there is also iCal Server 3. The way I understand it, this can basically act as a replacement for the old MobileMe calendar, right? I see how calendars can be shared and understand how that works. But can these calendars also be administered, with permissions, from the server? In other words, can I (as admin) create calendars for Bob, Tom and Doris - let's say a personal and business calendar for each. Then set it up so that Doris can see Tom's business and personal calendars but only Bob's business calendar?
    -Web server: I have played with the Apache server on previous non-server OS X versions. Can Lion server be easily set up to run as an INTERNAL web server? (Web pages viewable on the local network). If we wanted to make those web pages viewable outside the local network, is the process very difficult? We have a company to host our regular web and email services. I am only looking for some simple "company news" type information and maybe a small Filemaker database for a handful of employees.
    We don't currently have a static IP, which I guess would be necessary for making some of these features accessible from outside the office. Do I need to get a static IP from my ISP, are there features in Lion Server that eliminate the need for that (e.g. back to my mac) or are there other options that provide a workaround for this?
    Based on the above, is Lion Server what I need? Is there another product/application better suited for the above tasks?
    Thanks in advance for any ideas, help or suggestions.

    Do you think the monitor on the new Imac is good?
    Yes, I use mine for both digital photography and working with video. The extra screen real estate is extremely handy.
    If you need portability, I would keep the iBook also.

  • Steps to setting up email for Lion Server Alerts

  • Run HTTP File Server on Mac OSX Lion Server?

    Hello!
    I have a Mac Mini running Mac OS X Lion Server.
    I would like to be able to host a Web Server that runs within the built in Apache server that allows the transfer of files from Client to Mac Mini HD and vice versa using authentication from Open Directory.
    My inspiration is HTTP File Server, or HFS (no, not the Disk Format). This, however, is a Windows Program. It allows a HTTP platform to upload and download files from the HD of the machine it is running from. It comes as a nifty .exe that has everything you need. I'd like something similar but to run on the Mac Server.
    Note, the upload and download cannot be done over FTP. It must be using HTTP like HFS does.
    At the very least, I'd like a HTTP (Port 80) Web Server that runs within Apache that allows upload and download to the HD.
    And at best, authentication using the built in Open Directory credentials. And to make even more secure, HTTPS or SSL.
    So it's like iCloud or iWork.com but using my own disk space and credentials.
    Predicted End Product:
    User visits https://192.168.x.x or https://MyDNSName.dns.com
    Greeted with Home Screen (.html or .php)
    Clicks login
    Has a nice login window to use (probably have to be .php to keep simple)
    Logs in using same credentials as they would to logon to Mac Mini locally
    Greeted with view of their files in their Directory, e.g.: /Library/Server/Web/HFS/User1 or /Library/Server/Web/HFS/User2, etc
    Can choose to download present files
    Or upload. Click Upload
    Upload window appears. Selects file on Client machine.
    Over HTTP, file is uploaded to Host Machine to /Library/Server/Web/HFS/User1
    What I'd like to know is what is the easiest way of going about this? Some kind of CMS like Wordpress or software like HFS?
    Many thanks,
    Clark

    I'm a little confused here... what's the requirement for HTTP based transfers vs. traditional file sharing protocols such as AFP?
    Secondly, how does 'HFS' differ from any other HTTP form-based uploader? Any web CGI or scripting system such as PHP or Perl could easily present an upload form.
    Have you considered WebDAV, which is designed as s file transfer protocol over HTTP?
    It integrates at the Finder level, meaning you can copy files by simply dragging and dropping file (and folder) icons in the desktop, just like on a local drive. It's part of the standard Mac OS X Apache installation, too.
