MAJOR Open Directory issue: Can't assign Users and Groups that DO exist!
Just noticed the following today:
When doing Get Info -> Permsissions on files/folders located on my File Server share, Owner and Group show as (unknown).
When I go into WGM -> Sharing, and look at files/folders on File Server share this way, the Owner and Group fields are blank.
When I attempt to (re)assign an Owner or Group by dragging them from Users and Groups section of WGM, error tells me User or Group no longer exists. These Users and Groups clearly do exist in WGM -> Accounts.
When I look at files on File Server share via CLI, instead of actual names for Users and Groups, I see their uid and gid's. Chowning via CLI fails as well.
I've noticed all Users and Groups with this issue are OD.
Server is xServe G4 DP 1.0 GNz/1 GB RAM/Mac OS X Server 10.4.7 Unlimited. This servers been running fine as an OD Master for months now. ACL's are enabled on this File Server share point. I've always had weird permissions issues, but NEVER the inability to assign OD Users and Groups to files/folders.
I'm at a loss here, not to mention my wits end.
Did my OD become corrupted?
Any and all help would greatly appreciated.

This means that the Finder can't find a match in the accounts/groups database for the numeric UID assigned to those files. Either the records associated to those accounts have been deleted, or the database is corrupt. In either case, you should restore a copy of it from backup.

Server 4.0 can't edit users and groups. All options greyed out.
I have upgraded the mac mini server from Mavericks to Yosemite and had to update to Server 4.0 and having many issues.
One issue is I can't edit users and groups. All the options are greyed out.Search the System keychain on the server for application passwords with the name "/LDAPv3/127.0.0.1" and delete any you find. Sign out of the Server app and sign back in using the FQDN of the server, not "localhost" or "127.0.0.1".

Can´t view users and groups

Please, do you know about this and how can I solve it?

Can't import users and group backup
I exported the list of user names and groups prior re-installing 10.6 server.
Now when I try to import the backup, I get the error:
"The following users could not be imported because each of their first short names contains an invalid character (such as a period.)"
followed by the list of my users.
According to Apple's user creation documentation, the following characters are allowed:
"For the first short user name, use only these characters. Subsequent short names can contain any Roman character.
* a through z
* A through Z
* 0 through 9
* _ (underscore)
* - (hyphen)
. (period)"
Is that a bug? is there a way around it ?
ThanksI am also encountering the same problem. Can anyone assist?? I had to demote my OD due to a DNS change and lost 200+ accounts unless we can find a solution.
Thanks for anyones suggestions. -
Unable to see assign users or groups option under a groupin Shared services
I have a bizzare issue related to Shared services.
In Application 1 (on PROD env), after I select the group, right-click and go to properties, under "group members" and "user members" tabs, I do not see the options to assign access to any of the existings groups (we have about 50+ groups). I can only view the existing users/groups, even though I have been given admin/proviosioning rights, while the other admin can assign access to the same application.
While for Application 2 (on DEV) I am able to see all these options and I am able to assign users and groups to any of the groups. I do not see them as a browser issue, as I have opened both these links on the same IE window, but on different tabs.
Unfortunately, I can't test App1 on TEST/DEV, as we do not have its copy on here, it is all on PROD and App2 is only on DEV.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
PaulI would of thought it was provision related, can you try setting up another user as a test with the correct provisioning such as provisioning manager of the different product areas and see if the new user works.
If it does then it points an issue with your account or the way it has been provisioned.

Hi all,
I have about 100 users and many groups.
How can i create users and groups quickly?
Appreciate any helpLike the way you export planning application to file system and use it as a source to migrate it, In the same way take shared services file system export in the file system and migrate it to the new environment.
Cheers..!!!

Why do I have so many Users and Groups (RDN) on my computer?
I have had trouble viewing certain documents. I've been told I don't have permission. When I checked the Users, I find a list of Users and Groups that I'm unaware of. My computer should only be used by myself and my daughter. How do I know which Users to
keep, and which to get rid of? How do I delete unwanted users? I do belong to a group. My computer was given to me by my former employer. Does he still have access to my files?
These are the additional users and Groups listed on my computer...

Webcenter spaces user and group and WLS security realm
I want to configure external ORACLE DB,
I configed the security realm in WLS, and I can see the user and group list in WLS page, But I cant find any of them in webcenter spaces,
and also can not login with those users.
I added a user with WLS, it works well.
do I need to do other configrations?First you need to create a Administrator for this new identity stores. Weblogic user is not identified now because its not mapped by first authenticator. See Oracle WebCenter Admin Guide, section 28.4.1.1 Granting the WebCenter Spaces Administrator Role Using FusionMiddleware Control. Once you have done this step, do the same steps for other application user. For this you have to give Application role to other user so that they can login and use WebCenter Space.See Oracle WebCenter Admin Guide, Section 28.4.2.1 Granting Application Roles Using Fusion Middleware Control.
After doing above steps, restart WC_Spaces managed server. -

Change User and Group to Nobody
If I were to change the User and Group (in httpd.conf) to Nobody, what should I do? Is there any other setting that I need to change?
I'm on AIX5.2. Both user and group nobody are exist.
There is a note in the httpd.conf file on the user/group setting as below. What does it mean? Thanks.
# NOTE that some kernels refuse to setgid(Group) or semctl(IPC_SET)
# when the value of (unsigned)Group is above 60000;
# don't use Group nobody on these systems! -
Yeah guys, after I played around the guest account and added some parental controls to it, I can't open Users and Groups again in Syste Prefences
ThanksWhen doing Get Info -> Permsissions on files/folders located on my File Server share, Owner and Group show as (unknown).

Hello All,
I am facing a issue in assigning users to groups in shared services. Version 11.1.1.3
Actually users are present in LDAP and groups i created in Native Directory. Now i am writing Maxl .. Alter user ... add to group.... but its throwing a error that user doesnot exist, though the user exists in LDAP. I tried assigning users in groups manually, it worked. Can any one tell me how to do it through MAXL or any other way as i dont want to do it manually because there are 100s of user.
2) Can any one please tell me the use of Updateuser and provisioning user utility. In what scenario we use them?
Thanks,
AbhiThere is a way through Maxl an example being
create or replace user 'essuser' type external;
alter user 'essuser' add to group essgroup;
or
create or replace user 'essuser@LDAPNAME' type external;
alter user 'essuser@LDAPNAME' add to group essgroup;
Cheers
