Logins being denied on 10.4.11 Server with unlimited clients.

I have a eMac running 10.4.11 Server with unlimited clients. This server is throwing people off the shares or denying them access, reporting that the number of shares has been exceeded despite it being an unlimited licence product. The licence information confirms that it is an unlimited licence. Restarting the server will remedy the problem for a while but is obviously impracticable. Can anyone please give me some help to remedy this problem?
Thanks, Rob

I am having a similar problem.
I just updated clients to Leopard.
Xserve is still running Tiger.
Now clients cannot search files on the server.
Apple support said Tiger clients used "cat search" instead of spotlight.
Now that clients are Leopard, clients try to search with spotlight,
but Tiger Server cannot search with spotlight.
He suggested looking for a 3rd party cat search for Leopard clients.
Any suggestions?

How to control one server with multiple clients via TCP/IP

I am wanting to control a single server with multiple clients. Only one client would be active at a time, so there would be no conflict. I want to use TCP/IP. So far, I have programmed a cluster that passes data back to the server with no problems. The challenge come in when a second client is added to the mix. I have't been able to figure out how to turn each client on and send the appropriate data and then turn it off so it doesn't keep sending the same data to the server.
Here are the things that I have considered and did some preliminary testing, but don't really know how to impliment:
1. Send a numeric on the front of the cluster packet that tells the server that data is on the way.
2. Send a boolean on the front of the cluster packet to somehow turn the server TCP/IP on.
The problem I have found is that LabVIEW TCP/IP doesn't like to be turned on and off. If it doesn't get the data it expects, it goes into a reset mode and that kills the response time.
Any help?

You should consider implementing a set of simple one-byte commands that can be sent back and forth between the Server and the Clients. You can base all of these ideas off the example in the Example Finder under Networking >> TCP and UDP called Multiple Connections - Server.
You will have two loops in the server VI: one to wait for new connections, and one to send and receive data from the existing connections. For instance, after one of the clients connects, it can request control of the server to send data to it by sending the character "R" for request. Every time the send/receive loop of the Server executes, the first thing it can do is to check all the existing connections to see if any of the clients have sent a control request ("R"). If so, it will create a buffer (array) of control requests. This could be in the form of Connection IDs or indexes in the array for a particular Connection ID. Your choice.
After the Server receives a request for contol, if it is not already under control by another client, then it can send a response to the first client on the control request list. For instance, the server could send the first client a "S" command for send. Note that after the clients send their control request, they should execute a TCP Read and wait indefinitely for the server to respond with the one-byte "S" command. Then, once the client in control is finished sending data to the server, it could send the character "X" telling the Server to release it from control.
The example I mentioned above already does a similar thing. Note how when a client wants to disconnect, they send the letter "Q". You can see this in the Multiple Connections - Client VI. The Server then checks each individual connection to see if it's received this one-byte command, and if it has, it closes the connection to the client. This is what you would want to implement, but instead of having just one command, you'll have to distinguish between a few and build up a buffer of control requests.
Finally, if a client does decide to disconnect in your application, they could send the command "Q" just like the example above. At this point, close the connection and remove that Connection ID from the array of connections. You will also have to handle the case that this client was in the request control waiting line when it disconnected, in which case you need to delete it from that array as well.
This will definitely work for you, but it will take some work. Best of luck!

How does create a server with multiple Clients ?

Any people can lead me .
How does create a server with multiple Clients ?
Thanks

For a multithreaded server you will need a thread to listen and at least one thread per client. If the conversation is half duplex, one thread per client works very well, if it's full duplex you will find one thread to send and one to receive much easier to program.
I posted a Simple Socket Server that uses 1+2*clients threads.

Run OpenMQ Server with Unlimited Consume Messages.

Hi,
I am starting OpenMQ server using imqbrokerd file. After 24 hrs it don't allow any messages because destination property i.e. maxNumMsgs=100000.
I want to start OpenMQ server with unlimited consumed messages i.e. maxNumMsgs=-1.
How can i do that? I don't want to open admin gui & change the destination properties manually.
I want to know the way to start OpenMQ server with unlimited consumed messages i.e. maxNumMsgs=-1
Is it possible to pass this information at the time of startup?
With regards,
Pawan Modi

Hi,
I found the solution to my problem. Change the value for these variables as shown below in default.properties file at <MQ_HOME>/lib/props/broker/
imq.autocreate.destination.maxNumMsgs=-1
imq.autocreate.destination.maxTotalMsgBytes=-1
imq.autocreate.destination.maxNumProducers=-1
imq.autocreate.destination.maxBytesPerMsg=-1
Restart MQ server these changes will come in to effect.
Thanks & regards,

Anyone have a fully functioning thread server ? (any server with the client

Anyone have a fully functioning thread server ? (any server with the client source code) ? can u share it to me ? please ? I'm very hard to find a fully functinal example....
thx ........

Why not just write one yourself, it's not that hard. If you can't, then maybe you should learn how to write one before you try to use one.

Server with multiple clients

Hey all,
I'm working on a simple Snake-like Java game - I'm done with the basics but I want to add in multiplayer capabilities. The game is not very complicated (hence I'm not posting on the game forum), but I have very little experience with network programming. I do know threading and GUI/Java2D stuff fairly well so that will be less of a problem. As far as the game itself goes, I want everybody to be able to see what everyone else is doing.
As for the networking, basically what I want to do is as follows:
1. One person runs the program and hits the "start server" button. This displays his IP and creates 7 new mini-screens for the other players. This also starts the server thread. (All of this is done already).
2. The server thread will do a few things: 1) It will "listen" to any incoming connection requests and connect them to the server. 2) It will accept UDP datagram packets from the connected clients. It will process these and send the information to all the other clients. 3) It will monitor the state of the game and notify the clients about events like a player losing, the game ending, someone disconnecting.
3. A client thread will be spawned in a program that connects to the server. The client thread will 1) send the server updated information on its state at set intervals. 2) Receive information from the server on the other clients at intervals.
Obviously there is a whole lot more to consider, with special cases like someone disconnecting, the server crashing, etc. For right now, though, I just want to get the basics up.
I've read through the Networking tutorials on this site, but I'm having trouble with a few design/technical issues even after looking through them.
1. At a basic level, should I really be using UDP here? It seems like the better choice for fast games.
2. Should I be using the MulticastSocket class? It seemed right initally but I got the impression that all clients I broadcast to would have to be in the same IP range, which is not the case here (I want Internet games to be possible).
3. I'm not sure what I should be sending back and forth. From reading the tutorials my impression is that you can only send 256-long byte arrays in each packet. Does this mean I have to arbitrarily assign each byte in this array a meaning in the program? What if I have more than 256 bytes of info. to send?
4. My basic idea was for the server to spawn and fork a thread for each of the connected clients, and for each client to spawn and fork a thread for all the other players in the game so that if someone crashes, disconnects, leaves, etc. only the thread responsible for displaying/updating their part stops. Is this the ideal setup? Is there a better way to handle this type of network model?
5. The client/server need to be monitoring a few different things - should I just combine all this information into one big packet or separate it?
Sorry for the long post, but I'm somewhat confused on what to do here.
Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the quick reply - I'll change around my design to use what you suggested. On a related note, how much slower, empirically, is TCP compared to UDP? For this application I need ping times between 300 and 500 ms for each of the clients.
Also, regarding transferring information via TCP - since this is done with Buffered Read/writers can I transfer more back and forth? Basically I need to send the score (an int), as well as positional information for each player (could be as big as 50-100 ints). I'm worried that sending this volume of information is going to slow everything down quite a bit since not everyone has broadband. If I really have to be sending hundreds of ints a couple times a second to everyone, should I figure out a better way to do this? As long as each person's connection is at least 14k or so it should be ok, but it will also monopolize most of the bandwidth (at least with dialup connections).

Using iChat Server with Windows clients in an integrated Active Directory/Open Directory environment

A co-worker (Super Brent) and I were working on using iChat as an internal IM server after having used Openfire for a couple days. The reason for switching was basically that we had a Mac Mini Server that was available so we decided to take this on.
First problem: Knowing whether or not Kerberos was needed for AD/OD integration. We spent a ton of time on this, not knowing a huge amount about AD and with our server administrator on courses, we just kept poking at it and removed Kerberos.
For the AD/OD integration, we first bound the Mac Mini to our Active Directory server. We shut off LDAPv3 support as we only wanted to use the AD functionality. Additionally, we ensured that the search policy in Directory Utility only used Active Directory. Then we created an Open Directory master in the Open Directory service. We enabled a self-signed certificate and trusted it locally. After creating the iChat service, ensure that you use the self-signed SSL Certificate and set authentication to Standard. (no kerberos).
Second problem: Once this was complete, we started to test clients out. We were unable to successfully login using our AD credentials using Spark IM and Pandium IM. After trying nearly 100 different variations of server configs, we decided to try a new client. I installed Miranda IM on my Windows XP machine and tried a few different setups. It turned out that the magic potion was to make sure that the "resource" field was set to "Home" and use SSL for encryption. This resource setting was the deal breaker for the other IM clients as many of them such as Spark and Pandium do not have this as a login option.
We ended up using Pidgin IM as the Windows client of choice as it did have the resource variable and it's interface was the best suited for our environment and users.
I hope this helps someone out there as we spent days looking all over the internet trying to figure this out.
Cheers,
Frenchy and Super Brent

Using UDS Server with Java Client

Has any one used a UDS Server and a Java client. we are trying to do this on a Crucial application and we are facing a problem of passing Objects between the server and client. If the Object being passed has a SO associated then it is possible to get a Distributed Reference and there is no problem in this scenario. But when the object is just distributed(or may not be) then we are not able to get a distributed reference. How do we handle such objects.
Any quick help would be appreciated.
Thanx

We are passing object information instead of the objects right now. We used CORBA for the communication and XML for the message to be sent over CORBA. We built an API of five different generic calls which handles every situation. We used reflection to deserialize into and out of XML. We had to have matching classes for each language. If the attribute wasn't present in our target class then we ignore it. This is due to java and forte objects having stuff under the covers that we didn't need for the other language but reflection can see them.

How to access web server with SSH client

I need to access my web server via SSH. I do not have clue how to go about. I have transmit for ftp but looks like I cannot use SSH with Tranmit.
I guess I need to know:
- What ssh client to I need to get?
- If not detailed instruction provided How do I go about? I know I need the port # and my ip address and I have both of those but not sure what else I am to do.
TIA for the help!

Open up Terminal. It's in the Utilities folder.ssh -p <port#> <ipaddress> or, if you need to log on with a different user namessh -p <port#> <username>@<ipaddress>

Can I use Snow Leopard Server with Windows clients?

Mainly for e-mails and calendars. I have small office with 12 windows computers from XP to Win 7 and MS Office from 2003 to 2007. Will Snow Leopard Server work with that?

Can Mac OS X Server do this? Sure.
You're going to be learning a whole lot about running a server, regardless.
You really need to sort out what you have here and where you want to be, and how to upgrade or replace yor migrate your environment, and before you add the substantial increase in complexity of serving Windows from Mac. If you can't get off of Office circa 2003 or similarly old software, what are you going to do when you find, say, an incompatibility, or a need to migrate mail clients? Who are you going to call for help?
I'd guess that Small Business Server (SBS) is likely your best target here.
AFAIK, Exchange Server (which I'm guessing is what you're using) supports larger mailboxes in newer releases.
Look at the sustaining costs for what you're considering purchasing, too. How much it'll cost to configure, deploy and maintain the box and the network. Up-front costs are an obvious consideration, but maintaining many boxes and many versions itself introduces costs.
The arrival of Lion Server next month does not change my opinion. (And I'm not usually suggesting Windows and Windows Server boxes, either.) (And with the arrival of Lion and Lion Server, I'll follow my usual approach and not look to upgrade to the first release of that (or any other) new platform, if there are business-critical functions and services involved. You need time to debug and test the deployment.)

Mounting remote AFP volumes on Panther Server from Tiger client.

Has anyone else had this problem....
When connecting to a remote AFP share hosted on a Mac OS X 10.3.9 server I receive a message "Mount Failed, Could not mount volume “sharename.”. This happens when I enter the FQDN followed by the share name, for example "afp://servername.domain.co.uk/sharepoint". The client is part of an Open Directory domain and automounts work fine during boot as the home directory sharepoint works with local and remote homes. I have setup many 10.3.9 servers and have never encountered this issue on a Panther client.
Any help would be much appreciated and its driving me to distraction!
Regards
James.

We are not using the server for users' home directories, but thanks for that tip.
Today we have also started having issues at another site with a 10.3.8 server and Tiger clients. The behavior is a little different: when connecting to the Pather server with Tiger clients using a keychain-saved password, the client machine will freeze and must be rebooted. The server is showing no process crashes. Deleting the keychain and entering the password each time fixes the problem.
At the other site, the server is 10.3.9 and when Tiger clients tried to connect using a keychain password, their machine would get a spinning beach ball, but they could get out of it.

Access Denied when trying to access shared folders on the server with administrative privileges

I have problem accessing shared folder on the server machine from Windows 7 machine even if I try to access it with administrative privileges (server Administrator account). I will try now to explain better my situation.
In my company, we have small network infrastructure with one main server machine (HP ProLiant server) with Windows Server 2012 R2 installed and couple of desktop machines. The network is administrated by me.
On Windows Server we have installed and setup DHCP, DNS, Remote Access and Routing, File and Storage and Active Directory services. Desktop machines are having Windows 8.1 Pro, Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 Home Premium installed on them. In Active
Directory I have created domain, User groups and Users for employees in my company and so far, I didn't added desktop machines to the domain.
Also, I've created one folder on the server which should contain different projects data for network users and I have set access permissions and security for this folder and shared it on the network (I've added couple of users to one user group and I
gave Full control to this group over this folder). When I try to access this folder from network, I've been asked for login credentials (normally), where I just type in one of users username and password who has been given access permissions to (who is member
of group with full control over the folder). From Windows 8.1 Pro and Windows 8.1 machines I can access and work on this folder without any problems.
The problem comes with Windows 7 machines. On Windows 7 machines (I have also tried this with Windows 7 Ultimate in VMWare) I can access server, I can see its shares, but as soon I try to access folder I've created for projects, I get Access Denied message
with request for User login credentials. Whichever user account I use (even servers main Administrator account) I keep getting this message over and over and I'm unable to access it at all.
I have also tried to access the server through VPN (from local or outside) but I'm getting the same error again. Also I've tried to add these Windows 7 machines to the domain and login with domain user but the result is the same. Turned off both firewalls
(on server and desktop machines, which I know is unnecessary, but lets try it), still same case. I've tried couple more things with registry editor on desktop machines which I found on different forums and websites but still no luck. And now I don't know
what else I can do.
Does anyone knows what's the problem here, have I set something wrong, have not set something I should?

Hi MeipoXu,
thanks for your response. I will first answer on your question.
Yes, the main issue is that we can see the folder when we access the server but we cannot access its contents from Windows 7 machines. I have tried on two machines, one with Windows 7 Home Premium version and the other one with Windows 7 Ultimate version
and the situation is the same.
As you recommended, I've checked Network Discovery and File and Printer Sharing and the situation is next: File and Printer Sharing is turned on all layers (Private, Public and Domain) while Network Discovery is off for all layers too. I don't know if this
is normal thing but Network Discovery cannot be turned on in Windows Server (I'm able to select Turn on Network Discovery and apply the changes, but when I get back to this settings page, I again see that it's turned off, so I assume this can't be changed
at all).
I also tried with icacls in command prompt and everything seems to be ok there regarding permissions. Share permissions are set to Full control to Everyone and Security permissions are set to Full control only for Administrators and the user group I've created
for employees in my company. The confirmation for this is that on Windows 8 machines you can access this folder without any problem and without getting any message connected with access permissions with any user account within this user group. This share is
created through File and Storage Services service in Server Manager panel.
And then something came up on my mind. I went in Server Manager to check shared folder settings in File and Storage Services and under Settings page I saw that "Encrypt data access" has been enabled (I enabled this option because I thought
I will get more security with this option). I asked my self what would happen if I disable it, tried it and now everything works ok on Windows 7 machines too. Now I assume that Windows 7 doesn't have this feature implemented or there are some
settings which needs to be set on Windows 7 machines to make this encryption thing work with Windows Server. So basically, I will let this feature off for now until I find out more about it and how to implement it to work with all operating systems.
I want to thank you once more for your kind help!

SP2010 Application Pool Service Account fails to login to master database on a SQL Server mirror

This is a weird problem that just started showing up, cause unknown. Could go in this forum or in SQL 2008...I put it here because for me the context is SP2010.
We have 2 SQL servers (2008 R2 with SP1). Each server has 2 named instances, the second being a mirror for the other server's main instance. In other words, the named instance /SQL has a /SQLMirror on the other server and vice versa.
The error is: Login failed for user 'domain\sharepointapppoolaccount'. Reason: Failed to open the explicitly specified database.
As best I can tell, the specified database is "master" on the mirror instance. I am unaware of any reason for the app pool account to be connecting to the master on the mirror (the master database itself is NOT mirrored). There is nothing
in the user mapping that would suggest any reason to try connecting. And there are no equivalent errors in the main instance (SQL).
SP2010 Event ID 18456 - Why would a service account try to connect to the master database?

Hi,
When the principal server(SQL) disconnects clients from the principal database, then the mirror server(SQL) will take charge of clients’ requests.
So the error is regarding to the mirror server may be due to that the mirror server is taking charge of the clients’ request instead of the principal server when the principal is becomes unavailable.
I recommend to grant sysadmin permissions to the service account in SQL(mirror server) to see if the issue still occurs.
Best regards.
Thanks
