Mac Server 10.6 Wiki groups cross page reference

I have two user groups on Mac server, lets say group A and group B.  Is it possible to allow group B to only see certain pages from group A's wiki?

Thanks for the advice. You've pretty much reinforced what I felt was the best option from the research I've done.
As for expansion/future, we're a new IT support company, focussing on being able to support both Microsoft and Apple platforms. My personal goal is to get to ACSA level, which would include the Open Directory exam which I feel would help with what I am trying to achieve now. Our expansion in terms of the number of clients would almost certainly be using Mac clients and would be a maximum of 2 apprentices and 2 more engineers starting from 6 months time and spread over a 12 to 18 month period. I would imagine that by the time it would be beneficial to have the two domains fully integrated both myself and the Microsoft engineer should be at a level to make it work ourselves. For now I think that setting the two servers up and duplicating the users is the best option, and enables us both to continue training ourselves and supporting the business in the meantime.
Thanks again and the Mac Enterprise Mailing list looks really useful.

  • Trust relation between mac server 2.2.1 (10.8 mountain lion) and windows server 2008 r2

    i have the following settings:
    windows 2008R2 domain server.
    mac server 2.2.1
    mac client machines
    mac server machine is joined to Active Directory in windows 2008r2 without any problems.
    mac client machine is joined to mac server without any problem.
    the only problem is that i cannot log in to the mac client machine with a username from the active directory in windows 2008r2. i can log in with a created user on the mac server.
    i did a trust relation in windows 2008r2:
    Realm trust
    Transitive
    One-way incoming
    still cannot log with ad users. can anyone help me in the configurations if i missed something? i am new to mac servers and their configurations.

    does this mean that on every mac client i have to join 2 domains, the windows domain and mac domain?
    Yes
    then, why to use "workgourp manager" in mac to copy all the active directory users to mac server group? i do this to make all users available for authentication through mac serve ronly.
    Am I right? The users on your macserver are a copy of your users of the AD? It was not necessary to do that. Because all Users will listed on the Server.app on the User-Manager if you setup was correct. And this means:
    - first join your Mac (used as Server) to your Active Directory
    - second Install the Server.app. The Setup Wizard will do the rest.
    In my case, on the Usersection an the Server.app I will find "Benutzer von FAMILY-NET" that is my Active Domain.
    and if i join the mac client to windows domain for authentication, why do i need the mac server for? i need only to authenticate users in active directory on mac os x and that is only it.
    In this case - you need no Mac Server!
    Only if you want to use the Services of the Mac-Server (DNS, Wiki, Mail,...) or Manage you IOS/Mac Devices. Than it is necessary.
    sorry for my many questions, i am very new to mac os x and server.
    No problem. I lived in Mac-Worlds since 2 years. I infected with it with the purchase of my first iphone.

  • Authenticating Mac clients over AD but via a Mac server

    Hi, I think (hope) this will be an easy answer, the manuals I've read often talk about doing this but none of them seem that clear in how to actually do it. We'd like to be able to authenticate our Mac clients using the active directory but we'd like it to go via the Mac server so we can amend the policies. I have the server pulling the users and groups and such out of AD but I'm struggling to get the clients to connect to it. I go into Accounts on the clients and try to set the Network Account Server as the Mac Server using both the IP and DNS name but it just sits there for a while looking like it's working, saying things like "Getting server information...", then falls over with a 2200 error stating "Unable to add server - Could not resolve the address".
    You probably hear it a lot on here but I'm new to Macs and I just need to get a small group of them integrated into the network with minimal impact so I can forget about them. Any pointers would be appreciated.

    Tony to the rescue!
    Please check the *http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/documentation.html* and download the *Open Directory Administration.*
    Check page 103.
    I have done it and it works, assuming the basic setup (DNS, client binding, LDAP lookups) is done correctly.

  • Wiki - How to cutomize the default Wiki Groups listing?

    I am looking for any information about the Wiki groups listing.
    url: http://yoursite.local/groups
    I have already modified some of the look via ./usr/share/wikid/lib/appletemplates/grouplistings.xsl but I am still looking for the following:
    1. Is the groups listing page generated or a static index page?
    2. Can it me modified? How? Where?
    Cheers,
    /k

    The strings are found in /Library/Application Support/Apple/WikiServer/en.lproj/default.strings. It's listed twice but I think it's the second one that changes that text on the web pages. That way you can change the strings without editing the .xsl files.
    That being said, I am using the apple them and I've successfully (somewhat) converted my entire site to use this template with my customizations. I have been playing with the the .xsl files quite a bit and I was wondering if anyone knows how to have the server point to a new theme file so that my changes don't get overwritten with an update.
    I can see numerous places where the includes in many of the .xsl files show a path to the /usr/share/wikid/lib/apple_templates/ files but, but where is the root of where it looks for this info and how do I change it so that I am immune to update overwriting issues?
    Thanks,

  • How do I use my own domain name  with Mac server with iWeb

    For a number of years I have had my own domain name that when typed into a browser it would redirect the browser to my site on the .Mac server. I hear with iLife ’08 I can have my own domain name hosted by .Mac so I know longer have to have the long addresses for each pages the I have now for my site (i.e. the http://web.mac.com/thewildhearts/WildheartPhotography/NatureGalleries.html). How do I go about getting my domain name (wildheartphotography.com) so that Mac will host it and do I need to notify the current host that Mac will be hosting my site now?
    Thanks. I really appreciate the help I get from this forum.
    Pat

    It's very easy, really. You go to your domain control and redirect the address. IPower, for example points the domain name very easily: you just type in the URL of your site and it will point to your mac server.
    I've used GoDaddy before and it is a bit more difficult to "point".

  • Need help with network user accounts on Mac server App on Yosemite, any tips?

    I've been trying to set up a small network with the Server app on Yosemite. I don't want to do anything crazy with the server, I'd just like to know how I can set up network user accounts so that they can login from other Mac computers on the same network. I already have Open directory set up, the Macs that will be used on the network with the server have already been joined to the server under login options. I have created the network user account, I have also joined the user account to a group that I created. When I try to login to the network account from one of the Macs, it doesn't work. I'm pretty rookie with Mac server, can anyway give me any pointers of what I should be doing? Or if I am doing something wrong. Thanks guys.

    The most important step, once you've got Open Directory and DNS set up, with Local Network Users set up in Server.app, is to make sure that all client Macs are using the server's IP address as the primary DNS server in System Preferences > Network, and that they have joined the Network server in System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Options.
    Having said all that, I have just spent hours setting this all up only to find out that Mail doesn't currently work with Network Homes in 10.10.3 / Server.app 4.1.
    I will be hoping that Apple recognise the bug, and put out a fix soon.

  • Using a wiki group calendar in ical

    Dear all,
    I have searched the forum now for quite some hours but I haven't found any sollution. I am running a Lion Server 10.7.2. I have setup iCal server and a wiki. I am trying to set up a group calendar, which is working, BUT I am having trouble to setup my iCal accessing that specific calendar.
    Let's presume I am trying to get this work for testing in my own LAN first, so I am currently working with IP-addresses.
    Server IP: 192.168.100.37
    wiki's name: test
    I can access the calendar through the webserver but of course I wanna use iCal.
    I have learned from other posts that the iCal-account should be set up like this
    http://mainserver.example.com:8008/principals/__uids__/wiki-intern/
    This would mean for my server
    http://192.168.100.37:8008/principals/_uids_/test
    if I am correct. However iCal is telling me afterwards that no calendar has been found on the server. Does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong?
    Thank you so much.

  • Help needed with Mac Server set up

    Hi
    I have purchased a mini mac server, that i want to use as a replacement for my windows home server, for basic back ups & to run a website with possible remote access.
    At the initial configuration screen where if you manually configure your connection via ethernet, after putting the desired internal ip, sub net, router and DNS, it should find my domain on the next page where the server would be named. this does not happen, ( this is where i need the help )
    I have a domain name
    fixed external ip with my it pointing to my domain name
    and a RDNS setup with my ISP
    Any help?
    you can email me directly : [email protected]
    many thanks

    If you're running NAT, well, you have some choices on how you might choose to [set up DNS services|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1436]. Once you get that sorted, there's a link there to the set-up for the public-facing (outside your external firewall) network configuration, too.

  • What is the recommended number of clients per Mac server? Also what are some recommended specs when purchasing an Apple machine that will have Mac OS X server installed?

    What is the recommended number of clients per Mac server? Also what are some recommended specs when purchasing an Apple machine that will have Mac OS X server installed? We have around 300 clients that need to be enroled on the Mac server. I want to know what is the recommended amount of clients a Mac server should contain. Also what are some recommended specs to make sure the server will flawlessly?

    Hello cpreasbeck,
    Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities.
    I was able to find the following transition guide for Xserve that provides some workload guidance to determine performance when planning a server deployment.
    Transition Guide Xserve
    http://images.apple.com/xserve/pdf/L422277A_Xserve_Guide.pdf
    On page 9, Performance there is a chart that provides maximum numbers of connected users for various activities such as file sharing, mail, web, calendar, directory services and Time Machine and the CPU used as a server (Xserve, Mac Pro, Mac Mini). This information is a bit dated as the referenced software is Snow Leopard Server (OS X 10.6), and the hardware is older also, but it should give you a general idea of what you might need to look for.

  • Post .mac site to another domain name still on mac server?

    I have both a domain name that is .mac and a .biz url. I do not have another server to upload to (I just own the domain name), and would like to use my .mac website designed using iweb '06 v.1.1.2 and load it on the mac server but have the .biz url be the url the public will use... this is for a business website. How do I do this?
    The directions in all the help files assume the use of another server holding the domain name... maybe this is a requirement, but seems to be a waste to have a .mac account but have to have such a convoluted url for the public.
    Is this possible?

    Hi there,
    little correction: they don't assume having another server. They assume having it registered from a domain registrar. Which is quite different. You have to tell the domain registrar to point the domain to .mac.
    This page may help... At least I hope it does...

  • How to view new comments on Wiki or Blog Pages?

    I am trying to find a way (either via RSS, via Email or via a custom search) to be able to identify OSX Server Wiki- and Blog-pages with new comments easily. Unfortunately this seems to be somewhat of a problem, since most searches I tried do not include comments. Plus, I could not figure out if there is a RSS feed for new comments on posts (the usual RSS feeds do not include the comments on the pages). Does anybody know a way to get this working with the 10.5 Server Collaboration tools?
    Thanks,
    Floh

    I have searched this forum extensively and found lots of people with the same issues.. but no solutions. It seems like this just might not be possible with the Server Wiki. If anyone does find a solution I would love to hear what it is!
    In the meantime.. I have been telling users to add a comment, then click the edit button, add the text "Comment Added" as the comment about the page edit, and then click save. This makes it so that the page has been "updated" and will show up in an RSS feed with the title "Comment Added". It is a silly solution and adds extra time and complexity for people.. but so far it is the best solution I have come up with.

  • Wiki - advanced allow/deny restrictions from wiki groups?!

    Hello.
    I'm wondering if anyone knows if there's a way to create more advanced restrictions on certain wiki groups beyond the basics via Workgroup Manager (ie. all group members only, allow authenticated users and allow everyone)?
    For example, I have a group wiki set up for internal technologies (called Internal Technologies). This wiki is for collaborating on various technology related issues within the company. I want the Technology group to be able to manage (post/edit/etc.) to this wiki and that's not a problem. The problem I'm having is, I want to allow another group, Infrastructure, to be able to view this wiki and comment to it, but nothing beyond that (as some of the things the Technology group does affects the Infrastructure group). But, I don't want anyone else in the organization to be able to access this wiki and I don't know how to allow the Infrastructure group access to this wiki? The only way I can see is allowing ALL authenticated users within the organization access to it (and we don't want this as there is some confidential information in there)?
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Kristin.

    One way I have found is to consider all those eligible to view and comment as being in the group the wiki/blog is enabled for. This is the super group.
    Within this group add the group which can change the site pages. Use Directory.app->Group->Services->Edit to select only the group that can edit the site (create, edit and update wikis/blogs) beyond just leaving a comment. My panel allows me to select the entire subgroup by name.
    The access is now restricted to the super group and the editing group is specifically designated as the subgroup. Some versions back 10.5.1 or 10.5.2 when I set mine up I was only able to designate editors by name instead of by group. Now Directory.app pulls up the subgroup by group name.
    HTH,

  • Setting disk quota on Mac server for Active Directory users

    I'm having trouble setting disk quotas for Active Directory users with home folders on our Mac server.
    I've enabled disk quotas on the disk I'm putting home folders on, and I can set disk quotas for local users on the server just fine. But it doesn't seem to work for Active Directory users. I've tried setting disk quotas via Workgroup Manager and via the command line using edquota. But when I use the repquota command there is no quota entry for the AD user. I've run quotacheck and that didn't help either.
    I also understand there's a setquota command but there's no man page on how that works.
    Has anyone got disk quota for AD users working.
    Better still has someone got a shell or perl script for setting quotas they could post.
    Thanks
    - Cameron

    sorry.. I am soooooo stupid... I have to activate "File Sharing" as well.. for the user everything was already pre-activated, not for the AD users, I just saw the Time Machine checkbox grayed out ...
