Mac OS X Server 10.8 and Wiki Code Snippet Security Settings

I want to disable the embed security settings in Server's Wiki Service because with the default settings you can't embed anything on to pages, which makes it a lot less useful.
I know to do this you change:
/Library/Server/Wiki/Config/whitelist.plist
but I'm not sure how to change it to allow all types of embeds. I'm aware of the security risks but I trust my users on this Server to embed what they need to embed.

I found the Lion Server Advanced Admin Guide which mentioned changing the key  `FiltersEnabled` to `False` `/etc/collabd/collabd.plist`.
Once I figured that this plist has been moved to /Library/Server/Wiki/Config in Mountain Lion Server from /etc/collabd/ in Lion Server I changed the preference - and we can embed to our hearts' content.

  • Adding a target to 'drag and drop' code snippet

    Hi,
    I would imagine it's a simple enough bit of additional code, but I'm no programmer, and trawling the Web has proved fruitless to date...
    Within Flash CS5 and using AS 3, I'm attempting to create a series of drag-and-drop interactions for a learning exercise where items must be dragged into the correct box with positive and negative feedback being generated as a result of where the learner drops the item. All I need is the code to link the drag and drop code snippet (which I have working) to a specific object/location on the stage (which I cannot find nor figure out for the life of me)!
    I may be overcomplicating given that perhaps there is a CS5-compatible extension out there somewhere (whatever happened to all of the e-learning extensions and tools Flash once had if my memory serves?) which can provide me with an easily customizable template to achive what I need to do?
    Many thanks in advance to whomever can offer and tips, tools or usable code for this task.
    Galvoice.

    the easiest way to handle that would be to assign a transparent movieclip to the target position and use that movieclip as your droptarget.

  • Mac OS X Server Network users and Microsoft Office Documents

    Hello. I have a lab with 10.8 clients and 10.7 server. I have problems copying documents to network users' desktops. Here's the scoop:
    I'm on my teacher machine. I want to copy word docs (.docx) to the student desktops while they are logged in with ARD. The copy works fine, but when they try to open the documents it is always Read Only. They have to resave the documents as something else in order to use them. Permissions on the documents are read/write for me/staff/everyone on my machine (also a network user account) before I copy them through ARD.
    Am I missing something? This issue was around last year when the clients were 10.6 as well.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi,
    I am trying to do the same exact thing and find that it is best to do this locally (for now). Not only is the network way slower, but it seems to make things worse. For example, things backed up via the client machine are routed from the FTP server/volume mount and different permission wise. When you try to restore them locally, it should work, but the folder had different permissions because they were initially created in root (for me). So, I hope they would come out with something better than what is available now. Thanks!

  • Precedence and Associativity code snippet

    Look at this code snippet and assume the value of i is 2:
    ((k = (++i)) + (j = (2 * (++i))))We have the pre-increment operator showing up twice and that operator is the highest level precedence in this example. Next in line as far as precedence goes is the multiply operator. So what I did was I went to the far right and raised i from 2 to 3
    and then I figured since multiplication is the next in level of precedence I multiplied 3 * 2 to get 6.
    But I guess that's not the correct way to evaluate this. The author said when you have two operators that are of the same level of precedence, Java uses associativity rules to "break the tie."
    So I guess the correct thing to do is first increment i from 2 to 3 at the far left and then assign that to k.
    I'm just a bit confused I guess. I thought step 1 would be to go to the far right and increment i from 2 to 3. Then step 2 would be to carry out the multiply operation.
    Now the increment operator and the assignment operator are right associative. So the increment operator binds to variable i and the assignment operator binds to the result of incrementing i.
    But I don't see the connection between being right associative and proceeding to evaluate expressions from left to right. I'm still not completely understanding why we evaluate the far left expression first and not do the far right one first.

    Savitch said Java first does binding; that is it fully parenthesizes the expression using precedence and associativity rules. Then it evaluates expressions left to right.If that's what he says he is wrong. There is no such thing as 'binding; that is it fully parenthesizes the expression using precedence and associativity rules,' and I've already shown that 'evaluates expressions left to right' isn't correct either. See also the JLS, where none of this fantasy is mentioned. Compilers don't 'fully parenthesize' expressions. They parse them according to the grammar, which defines precedence and associativity; then they evaluate the operators in order of precedence, evaluating the operands of each operator in left-to-right order.
    Walter Savitch is apparently a professor of CS and should know better than that. I'd like to see what he really said.
    Since multiplication has a higher level of precedence than addition we perform the multiply operation first.Of course we do. That's not the point at issue.
    Java is actually doing this:
    d = a + (b * c)
    That is the point at issue. This is incorrect. Java isn't 'actually doing this' at all. That's just begging the question. There is no compilation step that corresponds to the insertion of those parentheses. What is actually happening is that operator precedence dictates that the multiplication be evaluated before the addition.
    As I said above, to a compiler writer, () is just another operator. Explaining operator precedence in terms of parentheses is putting the cart before the horse. It works the other way round.
    Answer is 7Of course it is. That's not in dispute.
    It's like the BODMAS you learned in 3rd grade.
    The way it is actually done is (a) turning the expression into a parse tree, with the operators already in the correct place due to precedence, as dictated by the grammar, and (b) outputting a Reverse-Polish representation of the expression, which in the above case would look like this:
    PUSH 1
    PUSH 2
    PUSH 3
    MULTIPLY ; pop the top two elements on the stack, multiply them, and push the result
    ADD ; pop the top two elements on the stack, add them, and push the result.
    No parentheses there.

  • Mac OS X Server File Shares and Active Directory Users

    About ready to pull my hair out on this one...
    We have a department that only uses Macs. At the moment, it's a hodgepodge of different setups. We were able to convince the department to standardize, and purchase a Mac Mini Server. To keep things a bit simpler, we are setting up their department shares on the server as well.
    To make my life simpler (or so I thought...) I decided to bind the OS X Server to our AD, and use the AD users/groups to allow access to the shares. The OS X Server app lists all of our AD user and groups, and I can apply them to the shares, however, when we try to access the share, it fails.
    I don't think the server is talking to our AD correctly.
    I can login to the Mac Server with my network account, my network account works for accessing Server.app, but nothing I've tried will allow our Mac or Windows clients to access the shares with the AD credentials. The log file comes up with:
    mccsrvrmac.mcc.local smbd[441]: check_account - [7]: [permission denied] pam_acct_mgmt
    Also seeing this:
    mccsrvrmac.mcc.local kdc[57]: Asked for LKDC, but there is none
    A bit of background: We added this Mac to the domain once before, realized that the HDDs weren't setup in a RAID config, so wiped it and reinstalled. I did remove the computer account before rebinding.
    Any help is appreciated!

    I figured this out. In Mountain Lion Server, it doesn't matter if you give the user rights to a shared file or folder, if the user doesn't have access the File Sharing service, they can't get it. I had to find the specific users in the Server app under the AD in the Users tab, and give them rights to the File Sharing service. I think you can do this for a whole AD group as well, but I haven't tried.

  • New Mac Mini Lion Server (mid 2011) and memory type

    Hi,
    I found an unclear advice about memory upgrade.
    The manuals says
    "Memory modules for your Mac mini must meet the following specifications:
    -Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module (SO-DIMM) format
    -1333 MHz, PC3-10600E, DDR3 compliant (also called DDR3 1333)

  • Mac OS X Server 10.0.4 Update

    Hello,
    I've been going through my software and downloading all the updates I can find. I was wondering if any of you might have this in your archives, Apple seems to have "lost" it and my usual haunts have come up empty.
    I've recently bought Mac OS X Server 10.0, and I have some of the other OS X Servers (for the Xserve), it seems finding (just the) updates you need before OS X Server 10.3 is hit or miss.
    In one example I'm trying to find:
    Mac OS X Server 10.0.4 Update: Document and Software
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120035
    ( http://download.info.apple.com/MacOSX/062-8318.20010702/0z/10.0.4ServerUpdate.dmg.bin )
    Dumps you at:
    " This URL is no longer used. If you get to this page, please go to:"
    http://www.info.apple.com/export/
    ... do strange loop.
    (My cookies are enabled)
    I know this is old, thats not the point, why is this and for that fact most of the other updates missing?
    I'm not real clear if 10.0 Server is update-able to 10.1 Server with the OS X 10.0-10.1 update CD for the regular OS X to which you may then UD to MacOSXUpdateCombo10.1.5, they mixed it up so you can't tell - or I can't tell.
    Mac OS X Server 10.1: Chart of Available Software Updates:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42741
    See what I mean?
    Even OS X Server 10.0.3 Update would suffice. I'd appreciate you all poking around - I got nothing.
    Mac OS X Server 10.3.x on, stuff is easy to find, Server 10.2.x and earlier is a pain and this is the last time (hopefully) I'll need to do this.
    If anyone with these updates could contact me that would be great or just reply to this post, this server will not be online - just to be clear.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Hosting a Domain Name on Mac OS X Server 10.1

    Hello. I have a server running Mac OS X Server 10.1, and I
    want to use it as a webserver. I already have a domain.
    My questionis, how do i host the domain on the server?

    The big difference between Mac OS X Server and client is that Server comes with a series of GUI tools for managing the server - configuring, stopping and starting the various server components including the web server, but also directory server, file servers and network services such as DNS, NAT, DHCP, etc.
    There's no advantage to Mac OS X Server as far as PHP or MySQL is concerned - none of the GUI tools will drive those apps, so you'll need regular PHP and MySQL skills whichever way you go. If that's all you're using then Client should be sufficient.

  • Mac OS X Server 4.0: User & Group Accounts

    I've bind Mac OS X server to AD, and I can see AD Users and Group accounts.  It seems that all other services such as Profile Manager requires Open Directory to run.  With Open Directory running, could I continue to use AD accounts instead -without having to recreate the wheel of a whole new set user accounts and  groups?  -So really assign AD accounts or groups to Server services.
    Thanks in advance!

    You should not have to do anything the user/group import should be automatic and you should not have to manually create any accounts and it does onging syncs automatically but I do not know how often.
    Once you are install and connect to profile manager all the accounts should show up just by clinking on users or the groups icons and they will work with that. You should not need to mess with them in the actual server application Although I would assume the other services all ink into the OD directory I don't know exactly how services like email, file sharing or VPN work as we have other more full featured better scaling services for that like MS Exchange for email/calendar and Cisco VPN.
    We are only using OD, Profile Manager and Software Update.
    Just a note I am using Server 3.2 on OS 10.9.5 if you are using Server 4.X your mileage will probably vary slightly as I am not sure what the areas of major change are.

    You will create a custom theme. Copy all the .xsl files into your theme folder. Modify default.xsl for most of the sub-level pages. Modify group_listing.xsl for /groups and /users pages. Your server index page is located in Library\WebServer\Documents. Most of what you want to do can probably be done through CSS.
    Once your custom theme is finished set it as the default in the Admin Panel.

  • Lion: Connecting to legacy (pre-Lion) AFP services - and Mac OS X (server)

    After upgrading to MacOS X Lion, it was discovered that it was not possible to logon to Novell-shares and NAS-boxes (e.g. Qnap).
    Here is a recipe that has been tested OK with the following combinations:
    * Mac OS X Lion -> Novell shares
    * Mac OS X Lion -> Mac OS X 10.5 server
    * Mac OS X Lion -> Mac OS X Lion
    Please note that the command-lines themselves must not have CR/NL-characters. Copy the commands to a text-editor and remove format-inserted CR/NL-characters.
    Another note: Your logon will be less secure with these changes. Later when e.g. Novell and/or your NAS-box support native Lion-logon, then please remove the AppleShareClient-parameter changes again with the first block.
    Recipe:
    The following block can be skipped if you have not previously changed AppleShareClient-parameters:
    sudo -s
    chmod o+w /Library/Preferences
    cd  /Library/Preferences/
    rm com.apple.AppleShareClient.plist*
    ! Restart
    The following block makes it possible to logon to: (1) Novell-shares (2) Pre Lion Mac-OS-X-volumes - and possibly non-native Lion logon NAS-shares:
    sudo -s
    chmod o+w /Library/Preferences
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_host_prefs_version -int 1
    ! Restart
    You now have to logon a real account (non-guest) on another Mac OS X Lion volume
    to catalyst a creation of AppleShareClient-files. (See Apple-support-link) (Is this necessary?)
    ! instead?:
    /bin/sleep 60
    chmod o+w /Library/Preferences
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array "Cleartxt Passwrd" "MS2.0" "2-Way Randnum exchange"
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array "DHX2"
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array "DHCAST128"
    chmod o-w /Library/Preferences
    PS:
    Possibly all volume-links may be deletes and recreated to use the new logon-parameters?

    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
              •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
              •          SSL Required: Yes
              •          Port: 993
              •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              •          Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
              •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
              •          SSL Required: Yes
              •          Port: 587
              •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
              •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              •          Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
    Thanks to dpepper...
