Maverick osx server and dnssec for dns master/slave services

Hi,
I have some questions to the maverick osx server.
Is this possible to configure dnssec keys for the maverick osx dns server?
Where are the configuration files from the dns server located?
Thomas

Okay - shortly after posting I found the checkbox "allow zone transfer" in the zone settings but there seems to be no way to control which secondary servers are allowed.
Anyhow I would like to know, where the config and zone files ar on Yosemite Server.

I am having trouble downloading the new maverick osx version and now for the last 24 hours the screen is just greyed out. I am at an apple store in London and the staff are just as flummoxed with what is not happening. Help?

Please help me? Nothing is happening on the screen and I can't do anything. I was told to come into an apple store as my home wifi was too slow an that is why it was taking so long to install.

Did you ever resolve the iCloud problem.I am in the same position and its driving me mad!!! If you have a link to an solution I would appreciate it.

OSX Server and Windows Mobile 5 push email service?

Pretty simple question...Can OSX Tiger Server "push" email to Windows Mobile 5 devices natively, or is there a 3rd party option available to do so? Microsoft Exchange 2003 is capable of doing this, however I would like to go all OSX at this point.
Thanks

I have been researching this topic for a while now as well and haven't found a satisfying solution. Of course, you could set your phones to establish a connection every say 10 minutes to query if new email has arrived. There are also a number of hints, how to set up a second email address for forwarding messages to e.g. Blackberrys. Another issue, for which I haven't found a solution is how to sync your phone's email with your desktop machine, except for wireless.
Any progress you hear, please let me know.

Website issue with osx server and hosting

so i had a website hosted from my osx server and i had bought the domain name from godaddy it worked great but i desided to instead of hosting it on my osx server to just host it on godaddy so i turned to server off and added the domain to my godaddy account hosting and now it works but one problem all computers can veiw the website but mine. i think it has somthing to do with the fact that my mac was the one hosting it. but if i go to my browser and go to my wesite i get a error but than i go to any other computer and it works great help please

A couple ideas
check our /etc/hosts file, you might have an entry for your domain.
sudo pico /etc/hosts
     do you see any entries for your domain? If so:
     edit the file by navigating with the arrow keys, delete the line
     with your domain. Hit ctrl-x when done (enter 'y' to save the change)
Clear your DNS cache
     dscacheutil -flushcache
Try a different DNS server, go into your network settings (In System Preferences)
Go to Ethernet or Wifi (whichever you are using), click Advanced and under the DNS tab enter:
     8.8.8.8
Make sure no entries are ABOVE it.
If none of this works, send the results of these commands:
     cat /etc/hosts
     cat /etc/resolv.conf
     dig +short mydomain.com   (replace with your domain)
The results of these should point us in the right direction.

Websites were deleted from configuration after Maverick OSX Server Update

Websites were deleted from configuration after Maverick OSX Server Update. My subversion access was also overwritten and no longer works.

if that was a bug report, then Apple might or might not see it here. There's a Provide Server Feedback in the menus of Server.app, if you'd like to let the Server.app folks know about the upgrade problems I've encountered.
If you're looking for help resetting the web sites (I'm not clear if you're reporting a bug or looking for help with this), then check Server.app for where the files should be (the default location is under /Library/Server/Web/Data directory) and see where your current sites are stored in the file system, establish the Site via Server.app (usually with a directory under the /Library/Server/Web/Data path) and move the contents over to the new location.
As for the Outlook comment in your footer, Microsoft Outlook also generally needs to have the FQDN requirements removed in the SMTP HELO processing. Outlook doesn't send that, and the default Postfix configuration will reject those connections as spam. Here's a discussion of how to do this. (I don't see a path to the HELO processing via sudo serveradmin settings mail:postfix commands.)

Fix the Server Admin UI for DNS

Apple.
DNS is a fairly important service as you know. I don't have time to edit zone entries manually and then also adjust reverse entries.
The Server Admin UI for DNS has been broken for a long while now.
Please.
Fix it.

Mezza

I agree that the DNS GUI in Server Admin is bad and should never have been released as it is. It should at least have the option to be disabled. That way, the limited and somewhat useless config files the GUI generates wouldn't overwrite painstakenly edited config files. Why does my mail server have to sit on the same domain? Why does my primary DNS have to exist within the created domain? Anyway enough complaining. On to solutions...
I would recommend you download "Webmin". It has a great interface for managing DNS and can do everything you should need. Keep in mind, for all my complaints about Server Admin Tool, it does keep you from adding multiple A records for the same IP which really shouldn't be done. "Webmin" will allow you to do just about anything you want to with DNS. It can be found at:

Hope that helps.

Osx server and push services

hello, It's possible configure in my iphone my account push create in osx server leopard? for calendars and mails?

We did what MLNNASH suggested and it works fine. Set it up using the imap SSL for security. While testing we also set up a VPN as JohnH suggested so that it can be secured that way if desired. I did have to set up the phone to contact our server but that wasn't complicated. We get access to and send and receive from our mail accounts without trouble.
I don't use it but it does appear that once you set up the phone mail account to contact your server you can have the phone check every so often automatically.

IChat LAN-LAN bonjour connection via OSX-Server and Draytek routers ?

We want to configure a LAN-LAN iChat intranet connection via our OSX-Server and several Draytek 2600 routers. We have static IP-addresses in all local LANs, do LAN-connection via DynDNS and opened the iChat NAT-Ports on every router as described in several posts.
LAN-LAN connection (e.g. volume mounting and ARD (Apple Remote Desktop)) works fine. We started iChat on every Mac and chatting via .mac accounts also works, but not via Bonjour. The logged-in users are not listed in the iChat bonjour contact list.
What do we have to configure more ? Starting the iChat service on the OSX-Server ?
Thanks in advance for help

Bonjour works without a server but will only work within the same subnet. It's likely your routers are on different subnets and so using Bonjour you would only be able to see contacts on the same subnet.
If you're not seeing anybody else at all, even those on the same subnet as you, then perhaps your firewall hasn't been opened to the iChat Bonjour ports (TCP, 5297 and 5298). There's also an entry for it in each Mac's Firewall config pane.
You best bet may be to run an XMPP server. iChat server is an XMPP/Jabber server (using a copy of the pretty old Jabberd 1.4 code), but you might want to consider running the superior OpenFire (http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/index.jsp) on your server instead.
Just create all the users on the server and then enter the relevant details into each copy of iChat.

About OSX Server and Mavericks

I bought on Okt 2 OSX Server 2.2.2 and was installed. Then on okt 24 I got OS Mavericks as a free download, but the server was not updated but thrown away from my computer. Wenn I want to download OSX Server 3.0 I have to pay again. Why?

It is a major paid upgrade from v2 to v3. Apple has no idea about the timing of your downloads and choices about what you want to buy.

Joined my Macbook to OSX Server and Entourage & Mail stopped coming in

I have OSX server (up to date) running but not configured for email at this time.
I joined my MB to the server and now Entourage and Mail refuse to retrieve or send email. I believe the error I'm getting is that the server is not found.
My wife has the new MBP 13.3 and is on the server with no email problems.

Hi
Are you using the same DNS Server as your wife? If you're not and you've configured to use the Mac Server to resolve DNS (internally) then this could explain why you have the problem? If you've joined your client to the Mac Server to take advantage of the more Advanced Services available such as LDAP, Roaming Profiles, iCal etc then you would/should be using it to resolve DNS.
In which trying case to resolve an external domain that has nothing to do with the internal one could well result in mail services not working.
You could add the external Mail Server's external IP Addresses and Host Names to your internal DNS Service's zone files. Or add an external DNS Server IP Address to your DNS Server's field in the Advanced Section of the Network Preferences Pane for the affected client.

Two Xserves running 10.5 Server and setting up DNS...

Hello.
I have two Xserves (a G5 and a new Intel), both with fresh installs of 10.5 Server on them.
Xserve #1 not going to be hosting any external services (FTP, web, email) and only housing internal, mission critical & confidential data (the server is set up with a mirror RAID on the OS drive as well as mirror RAID on the storage drives + nightly tape backups for offsite storage). Right now there are no plans for enabling iCal on this server as we're trying to keep the server as basic as possible (as we can afford zero downtime on this server), but if the initial setup of 10.5 requires configuration at first run to allow this type of thing, I'd like to deal with it now so as to keep my options open (as I know iCal on 10.5 requires Open Directory enabled).
Xserve #2 is going to host FTP (for external clients) and internal file sharing for the design/production department (basically, for transferring files back and fourth between departments, so no data via this share will be "critical" as it's only temporarily on the server and will always exist in other locations). Even though this server will not host "critical" data, it will share the same backup/RAID scheme as Xserve #1.
So, I'm curious as to how I set up DNS in this situation (so we can associate a domain name to our static IP address). We already have our main domain setup via 3rd-party hosting service (for web & email as we do not want to bring these services in-house), but we're purchasing a second domain that will be associated with company (via a static IP, so we can give a domain name instead of IP address for people needing to connect to the FTP server, make it easier for employees to remember the address for remote connections, etc.).
Because Xserve #2 is going to be hosting FTP, would it make sense to setup DNS on this server and not set it up on Xserve #1? Also, and this could just be me being paranoid, but because Xserve #1 will be housing "critical & confidential" data I want to eliminate as much contact with the outside world as possible with this server, so this is another reason I feel Xserve #2 should have DNS running instead.
Oh, and not sure if this makes any difference, but between the WAN and the LAN is a SonicWALL firewall and currently it deal with port forwarding, etc. depending on what services are being requested from the WAN (ie. remote machine connections, FileMaker remote connections, etc.).
Any advice would be appreciated!
Regards,
Kristin.

There's a couple of things in your post I don't understand:
the server is set up with a mirror RAID on the OS drive as well as mirror RAID on the storage drives
How are you doing this? Both XServes support only three internal drives and two mirrors require 4 drives. Where does the fourth drive come into play?
I'm curious as to how I set up DNS in this situation
There are numerous ways of doing this, but with a single static IP address your best bet is to leave DNS where it is - managed by your hosting provider. Just add a record in the domain zone (e.g. ftp.yourdomain.com) that has the IP address of the public interface your SonicWall firewall. You don't need a separate domain for this. You also don't need to setup internal DNS for this (although you may need internal DNS if you're running Open Directory.
Because Xserve #2 is going to be hosting FTP, would it make sense to setup DNS on this server and not set it up on Xserve #1?
Assuming you're referring to setting up a DNS server - use them BOTH. Make one of the servers the primary server (I'd pick the internal-only server for this) and set the other server to be a slave (so it copies all the zone data from the primary server). That way you have a replica of the data to provide additional resilience.

OSX Server and Mac Mini and Simple Network functionality

Hi not sure if this is the best place for this question but here goes.
I am relatively new to Mac after a life lost to the PC/Microsoft world. Anyway I have a small home network and store all my documents on a network attached hard drive (Buffalo Terastation).
I travel a lot and want external access to my files and email via the internet. I was going to set up a PC Server with MS Small office and Exchange to facilitate this but then started to think that an Apple solution would be better. I don't want to spend a fortune as it is basically just me, and maybe another user or two, that would use the server.
I started to think that Mac OSX Server running on a 2GHz Mac Mini with 120/160gb drive and 2 gig Ram. If the mini would run OK then this would be ideal due to low noise, footprint, consumption, etc and pretty cheap as well.
I run a iMAC 24 and 2 macbook laptops all running Leopard.
Would this be a practical and workable solution to my needs ?
Thanks in advance.
Simon

Would the "Back to my Mac" service with .Mac not work for you? You wouldn't necessarily need a server then...
File sharing on the workstation is good as Dave says so you don't need to go whole hog for the Server platform.
But if you wanted to go for Leopard Server, you'd be able to do a **** sight more than you could with Exchange - I wrestle with it every day at work but am happy to come back home to a Mac world!

If I want to run OSX Server and also want to run Windows 8 on Boot Camp, will server still run when I boot into windows?

I want to set up OSX Server on my iMAC running Mavericks and also install Windows 8 on Boot Camp. If I do this and boot into Windows, will that prevent server from running while I'm in Windows?

No. Bootcamp, as you've described, requires rebooting into your chosen operating system. If you want to run both OS X and Windows at the same time from your hardware, look at virtualization tools like Parrallels or VMWare.

Mavericks Caching Server and PAT

Our network has a PAT configuration, with multiple public IPs. How effective will the Mavericks Caching Server (CS) be in our environment?
A PAT configuration would seem to be more likely in a medium to large sized network, which is where a CS would be most effective. Documents we've found so far indicate that the Apple update servers track the public IP of the CS and redirect clients using the same IP to the local CS. If that is correct, we'll probably see minimal benefit: with 32 public IPs in our PAT range, there is only about a 3% chance a given client has the same IP as the CS.
Although a firewall rule to route all Apple update-related traffic out via a single IP might work, that would require knowledge of all the addresses in use. A better solution might be to provide a way in the CS configuration to specify the pubic PAT range shared by the local private networks, with some mechanism for verifying that the CS can utilize all of those public IPs.

Apple have the entire 17.0.0.0 block of addresses so any Apple traffic will be in that block.
I also suggest you go to the following webpage on both your Caching Server and your clients several times over a period of time to see if they do all show the same single public IP address in which case you will not have a problem.
