Mavericks Server Not Disconnecting Users

I'm looking to brainstorm with others out there who have deployed Mavericks servers who are experienceing issues with file sharing services. I have about 7-8 servers that I have done recently with Mavericks Server that all experince varying levels of issues with users connecting to AFP not disconnecting properly.
One extreme case, is where a server has about 25 users, and at the end of the day, Server shows upwards of 40 connections. Many of the users will have two and three connections even though they are on one machine with one IP.
Eventually what happens is that users begin to have permissions issues, read-only notifications when trying to open a file, and the beachball when trying to save a file they were editing off the server. I have minimized the problem by having all the suers shut down their machines at night, and for some, set thier machines to never sleep during the day. I also have the server restarting every night to break the connections.
I have also gone in and turned on the disconnect idle users, changed the disconnect idle users time, and changed the sleep and idle times with no success in fixing the problem. If I don't restart the server at night, users will show connected for as long as it has been since thier initial connection. I also went into sharing in the system prefs and checked the connected users there. It is the same that shows in the server.
There are some other similar discussions out there, but I need to focus this bug on AFP.

I have played around with the idle discconect and sleep times. Here is how the AFP is set up:

  • Mavericks server alerts and User account questions

    Hi
    I'm looking for more detailed information about setting up Alerts in Mavericks Server, plus I seem to have a strange problem with new user accounts when setting up.
    More Info.
    I have a Mac Mini acting almost 100% exclusively as a Time Machine backup device with encryption of three portable computers on a wired network.  This was originally set up three years using Snow Leopard Server and a 2Tb external FireWire Drive.
    The external drive is now proving too small, and in any case is showing the possible first signs of failure when tested, so the intention is to replace it with a RAID of some sort, probably a 2-drive RAID 1 device but if the budget allows we might be able to look at RAID 5 or 6 units.
    It seems a good opportunity to clean install Mavericks Server on the Mini, so I've set up a test station on my MacBook Pro with my Mac Pro (both running 10.9.2) as a test backup client.  The Server OS is on an external FireWire boot drive, and the TM backup folders are on another external, in this case a USB 3.0
    For obvious reasons there does not seem to be any reason to turn on more services than absolutely necessary, so just Time Machine and File Sharing for the moment.  All works well but I can't seem to get Alerts working.  I've listed 3 different eMail addresses (all mine) for the alerts to be sent to, and I have two Admin Accounts for Notifications, both using the same AppleID I set the Server software up with.  I've gone through the rather sparse setup help information carefully, and there is no information about additional services being required, although I did try setting up the Mail client (tested sending and receiving) on the Server and having it running whilst the backups were being tested.
    As I said, the test backups went fine and when I disconnected the backup drive from the Server to simulate a failed drive the TM on the Mac Pro client showed an alert saying the backup drive could not be found.  However, there were no emails or Notifications received, either on the Mac Pro or my iPhone from the Server.
    There seems to be minimal amount of information available about the workings of Mavericks Server, but I have gone through what I can additionally find online about Mountain Lion Server, with no real indication of what it is that I am missing.  The only instructions seem to be exactly what I've done, so your advice would be appreciated.
    Another thing that puzzles me, is that when restarting the MacBook Pro I get all the Admin and Standard User Accounts (created in Server.app) showing at the login screen.  This is only four Accounts in total, so what would happen if this was 50 Users?  If I click on the 'User' tab in Server.app I get 83 User Accounts showing, but that was not the case until this evening, as only the Admin and Stardard User Accounts I had set up were visible.
    It's obviously possible that I've mucked up the install and basic setup somehow, but I can't see that anything I've done would have these effects as I've been careful to follow the options put in front of me.
    Thank you in advance.

    There's nothing to fetch. You assign the value from the function GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(USERNAME); as you would any value returned from a function.
    DECLARE
       myVar    VARCHAR2(50);
    BEGIN
       myVar := GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(USERNAME);
    END;Hope this helps.

  • RADIUS (NGS) is not disconnecting users

    Hi,
    I have a guest network set up on a WLC with an external RADIUS server (NAC Guest Server). However when the time profile expires (user account expires) on NGS the active user is not disconnected.
    Now if the user logs off the guest network (either using the logout window or via the idle/session timeout) and tries to log back in they correctly get an error message when they try and log back in on the portal. The issue is that active users are not getting foraceably logged off the guest network.
    I'm sure i've seen this issue referenced somewhere before but I couldnt find it.
    Eoin.

    the key point is that Radius is an authentication that happens when the client connects. The Radius server cannot take actions unless it is contacted in the first place so a radius server cannot kick users.
    This is "too bad" and yes things are coming to change that. The new versions of IOS switches start to support "Radius Change of Authorization" that allows the radius server to kick people on demand etc ... But that's not yet there.
    The session timeout is the time for which the WLC leaves the client in peace before asking for a reauthentication.
    For a WPA SSID, the client laptop will automatically reprovide credentials after timeout usually so it's a smooth reauthentication. But for guest, if the authentication method is a login page, the user will have to re-enter his credentials and if he was doing a file transfer, that got interrupted so that's not cool to set a very small session timeout.
    So you have to decide I'm afraid to set a session timeout of 2 hours let's say, time that you find acceptable to have to reauthenticate again. This means that the clients will definitely not be able to have network access 2 hours (maximum ! once their NGS user account expires, they will be kicked at the next reauthentication which happens between 0 and 120 minutes later) after their account expired.

  • HT204350 Migration Assistant in Mavericks does not allow User account migration

    Users accounts do not show up at all.

    After a similar problem I found http://www.hardturm.ch/luz/2014/02/fixing-os-x-10-9-mavericks-migration-from-ext ernal-volume/ which explains that since Migration assistant logs you out, it also unmounts external disks. As AtlNCS Admin points out, they have a solution in using ssh and command line stuff to mount the needed disk remotely, but someone in the comments had a simpler solution: do not plug in the external firewire disk until after launchine Migration Assistant. So before running MA, eject the external disk that you want to migrate to the new machine (and unplug it) then start Migration Assistant and after selecting "migrate from an attached disk" THEN plug in the disk. It worked for me.

  • How do I uninstall Mavericks Server?

    Okay, I wasn't really using my MacBook Pro as a server in the past, but it appears that Apple has added a "helpful" feature to Mavericks Server where, according to "pmset -g",  Server is perpetually preventing the computer from sleeping: "sleep prevented by com.apple serve"
    I'm not really using Server on my Mac anymore, so how do I uninstall it under Mavericks? I've searched Apple Support and the rest of the web, and can see plenty of advice out there for Lion and Mountain Lion, but none for Mavericks yet, so I'm wondering if someone has already done this...

    I was talking about uninstalling Mavericks Server, not Mavericks. The server is just one app that happens to install a number of other services. But anyway, here's my advice:
    If you have a computer that Apple launched on or after Mavericks launched, then you cannot uninstall Mavericks.
    If you have an older computer, then the best way to get the old OS back is to restore a backup from before you installed Mavericks. Lacking that, if you made an install DVD of the old OS before running the installer (which is always a good idea), then you can boot that DVD, wipe your drive, and install the older OS. You will lose all your data by wiping the drive, so make a backup of important data first.
    If you don't have a backup, or you don't have an older OS install DVD, then consider this to be a learning experience. If Mavericks broke your app, then you'll have to wait for a newer version to come along.

    I just noticed that you have Handle VIA received = yes, so if the proxy is responding with a 'received' tag, then the SPA would learn its external IP, without needing to contact the STUN server.  I have a system that is behind NAT but does not need STUN or symmetric RTP, because it uses the IP from the received tag in the SDP. (In my case, I have the RTP ports forwarded to the SPA, so no port number translations are needed.)

  • License usage not view, user connection problem

    I have terminal server 2008 R2 and license server on same server in domain. Instaled 15 license per user and license in domain scope and diagnostic is OK. But license server not tracking user (view usage) only generated report list usage. Problem is only
    5 user can by logon is same time. In Event viewer not any report about this.

    Hi,
    In RD Session Host Configuration (tsconfig.msc), please double-click on RDP-Tcp.  On the Network Adapter tab, please make sure it is set to
    Unlimited connections.
    It is normal in RD Licensing Manager to not show Per User RDS CAL usage.  You need to create Per User Usage CAL report each time and then save the report as a csv in order to view usage.
    Thanks.

  • Users not disconnected from file sharing

    After log out of a network user the user is still connected in file sharing. After some time users have multiple connections in file sharing when they are not logged in. It seems to have a negative impact on performance and problems with e-mail.
    Anybody with the same problem?

    I have been running Mavericks server about 5 weeks now and I can report that some things have improved slightly. However WGM was throwing plug in errors every time I tried to edit a users data or change a password etc. so I had nothing to lose by doing some basic housekeeping so I repaired the permissions for the server's main HD. The list of permission repairs was colossal. After this rather than restart I fully shut down the Xserve and rebooted holding the shift key to "Safe Boot" after which I rebooted as normal.This clears out various caches and such as below>
    It forces a check of the startup volume, just like the First Aid feature of Disk Utility.
    It loads only required kernel extensions.
    It disables all fonts installed by the user.
    It moves font caches to the Trash that are stored in /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/(uid)/  – where (uid) is a user ID number such as 501.
    It disables all startup items and login items.
          The results were great, WGM was fully operational again and the users logged in on File Sharing pane in Server app were disconnecting as they should when they logged off. Its early days yet but everything seems a lot more stable than before. The Users section in Server app still wont let me edit or add users so i still rely on WGM for this so I think this is a definite bug in Server app. I say this because I created a brand new fully working Mavericks server from scratch  as an experiment and with only one network user created on the OD after a day or so the editability and being able to add new users on Server app was lost. This behaviour has been happening on Lion through to Mavericks so I dread the day when we lose WGM etc. and have to rely on Profile Manager

  • 10.6.8 to Mavericks Server Upgrade loses Open Directory Users

    Hi,
    I have an OpenDirectory Master running OSX Server 10.6.8. An upgrade to Mavericks 10.9 has just failed.
    The server has about 50 OD users and passwords need to be retained across the upgrade. Apart from OD, the only other active service is AFP file sharing.
    DNS is good forward and back as per this article: OS X Server: Steps to take before upgrading or migrating the Open Directory database
    I followed these Apple guidelines for server migration: OS X Server: Upgrade and migration from Lion Server or Snow Leopard Server.
    I cloned the boot drive, booted from the clone, upgraded to Mavericks, then installed the Mavericks Server app.
    On opening the Mavericks Server app "Configuring services' showed for 5 minutes, but then an error message appeared. I did not record it exactly, but it was something like, "There was an error configuring the server. Certificate not valid!".
    I was able to continue through the error but on opening Server app there were no OD (local/network) users showing. Authentication was not happening.
    I had underestimated the time to get the installation done and I had used up the window of downtime I had booked - I did not have much time to troubleshoot. So, I cut back to the original hard drive and the server is back to 10.6.8 again.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction to find out what may have gone wrong? How can I get my users into 10.9 Server?
    Many thanks,
    b.

    Linc Davis advice is spot-on, as usual.
    There seem to be dozens of sub-databases in the LDAP database. A problem in any of them seems to derail the entire conversion process. I tried a straight conversion and was also disappointed that there were unresolved issues, and it meant that the conversion failed.
    So I did the export route using WorkGroup Manager, and exported four sets:
    Users
    Groups
    Computers
    Computer groups
    go to the appropriate pane (e.g., Users) and Select All, then choose Export, and give it a name (probably with an embedded date in case you need to do it again later)
    Then use 10.9 WorkGroup Manager (available as a separate download) to Import.
    When re-imported, everything worked just fine (except the passwords, which cannot be carried forward using this method). I did have to manually enable at least one service, such as File Sharing service in Server [admin], or users showed up as "not allowed" [to log in].
    This entire process of getting Server 3 to work is fraught with peril, and everything converges on ONE diagnostic, "Network users can't log in". Which means you blew it, but provides no additional information about WHERE you blew it.
    There do not appear to be any magic bullets. It is just a tough slog. Users who reported success after failing the first time reported they returned to fundamental principles and did all the steps over, in order, to attain success.

  • Error "kdc: Server not found in database" on attempted connections using Network User Credentials

    I am rebuilding my system after a recent debacle with Time Machine, which resulted in a complete wiping of my Open Directory contents. At this point, users can log into various computers on the network, when the hosts have been reconnected to the newly formed Open Directory and the trust certificate has been authorized.  However, when users attempt to connect to any file share, the Network User Account credentials fail to gain access.
    I am running Mac OS X 10.9.4 on all systems. Two mac-mini's are running OS X Server 3.1.2.  One of these servers (mavericks1.pediatricheartcenter.org) is the Open Directory.  While testing the system, I am using the console on "Mavericks1," so the following discussion involves communication between the two server hosts only.
    From Mavericks1, I open the console and attempt to connect to my file server, named fileserver.pediatricheartcenter.org.  I clear the console just prior to sending a "registered user" request to "FileServer" to gain access.  Careful examination of the console records shows the following:
    1. The Network User is authorized with a message "ENC-TS pre-authentication succeeded".
    2. Mavericks1 lists a console message that reads "kdc: Server not found in database: krbtgt/[email protected]:no such entry found in hdb"
    3. Mavericks1 lists a console message that reads "kdc: Server not found in database: cifs/[email protected]: no such entry found in hdb"
    4. The process registers what appears to be a final failure before trying again with "kdc: Failed building TGS-REP to 127.0.0.1:64390"
    FileStorage.local does not exist in the DNS, nor does it exist on FileStorage.pediatricheartcenter.org. That (local) host name was removed when the domain host name for filestorage.pediatricheartcenter.org was created.
    1. Why does the kerberos process reference a host name that does not exist?
    2. What might be causing the failed authentication exchange?
    3. What can be done to remedy the issue?

    I spent some time on the phone with Apple Support on Friday.  Thank you to Linc Davis for providing some insights into the issues.
    As a result of the conversation with Apple Support we learned the following, which I will report here for those who might find this page again:
    First, OpenDirectories are extremely fragile.  Once you have turned on your OpenDirectory, do not do any of the following:
    Do NOT change the host name.
    Do NOT change the IP address.
    If you are going to attempt either of these things, you should make a clone of your drive (not just a TimeMachine backup, a fully bootable clone, just in case).
    Performing these activities (particularly the changing of the host name) will "break" your open directory, and the only way to rebuild the open directory is first to fully destroy the original.  Several services are also destroyed when OpenDirectory is broken, the most notable is Profile Manager.
    DESTROYING OPEN DIRECTORY
    To fully destroy OpenDirectory, it is more complex than simply turning off the OpenDirectory and turning it back on again.  Perform the following steps:
    Install WorkGroup Manager (it is depricated, but Apple still has a version available for use with OS X Mavericks to handle functions that the Server App does not perform like exporting users and groups).
    Sign into WorkGroup Manager as the directory administrator (user name defaults to "diradmin" the password is defined on OpenDirectory creation).
    Export the Users, Groups, Computers and Computer Groups to the Desktop or another safe location.
    Close WorkGroup Manager
    Turn off the OpenDirectory in Server App.
    Delete the Server App from the Applications folder and put it in the Trash. (This will disable any active services that are marking various files as being currently in use. Don't worry, we will restore it from the Trash when we are done).
    In the terminal, run the following command: sudo slapconfig -destroyldapserver
    Make a backup of all website files (just in case)
    Navigate to the folder /Library/Server and delete the ProfileManager folder. (If you willing to do so, delete the whole Server folder).
    After deleting various folders in the /Library/Server directory, restore the Server.app from the Trash.
    Run the Server App.
    Set the computer's network connection and host name.
    Create a new OpenDirectory.
    Use WorkGroup Manager to import any exported files from Step 3.
    If you deleted the entire Server directory, use the website backup to retrieve the files that comprise your web site(s) and use the Server App to link the file directories to the Web site's domain name(s).
    Personal Note: These instructions got me farther than any other tips I had received previously. After following these instructions, I was able to rebuild my Open Directory. During the process of copying files from the old user home folders into the new user home folders, the computer froze and when it rebooted, all the users and groups I had created during the day had disappeared. Rather than trouble-shooting it again, I decided to do a fresh installation.
    A NOTE ON HOME FOLDERS
    PER APPLE SUPPORT: Do NOT use the default /Users directory for Network users. Apple Support wanted me to rebuild the home directory, but they noted I was not able to do this, because I had used /Users.  This folder ("/Users") is a critical component of the OS X system, and will cause additional problems if the folder is destroyed and rebuilt.  The directory id and permissions must remain unchanged from the original installation.
    For this reason, Server administrators (like yourself) should use File Sharing in the Server App to create a new anchor point for home directories.  Create a shared folder. Ensure that it is shared over the protocols that you will be using (AFP, SMB, WebDav), and then after selecting these values, check the box that allows the folder to be used as a home directory at the bottom of this list.  This box will be greyed out if the system is not already bound to an OpenDirectory. If you have activated OpenDirectory on the same machine, the machine will operate as if bound to itself, and this field will be active.  If the FileShare server is NOT an OpenDirectory master or replica, then bind the machine to an OpenDirectory via the "System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options".
    If the local area network has FileShares that are enabled for home directory use, the folders will appear in the User Profile editor under the Home Folder list (See image)
    In the screenshot above, I have selected a shared directory named "HomeFolders".  By using specially defined home folder directory, the server administrator has the option of deleting and modifying the home folder if necessary.  Creating a home folder directory in a location other than "/Users" is the recommended best practice by Apple Support.
    If you are inserting files into the home folders, you will need to change the owner and the group to the new owners names.  I copied files from the old user directories into the new user directories so that the users would have access to their old files.  When my OpenDirectory crashed, and all the users were recreated, they were recreated with different system level user id's.  The system therefore maintains a memory that the file was owned by the original owner, even though the system administrator has put it in the new user profile's folder.  To fix this, do the following:
    1. Prior to making the copy, run "ls -al" from the terminal on the new home directory root.  You are looking for the default folder owner and default folder group.  On my system it was the user name and a group named "staff".
    2. When making the copy, do not replace the user folder. Copy the files into the file folder, not over it.
    3. After you have moved files into the user's folders, you can use "sudo chown -R [owner]:[group] [homeFolderPath]/*" and "sudo chmod -R 700 [homeFolderPath]/*" (replace the [owner] and [group] portions of these commands with the owners and groups identified by the command in step 1, and replace [homeFolderPath] with a path to the user directory created for the specific user.
    For example:
    For the user johnnybgood, we might see the following:
    1. We run "ls -al" on the newly created home folder and find that the folder /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood is owned by johnnybgood and the group "staff".
    2. We copy or move files from the old locations using commands similar to the following:
           sudo mv /OldFolderLocation/johnnybgood/Documents/* /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Documents
           sudo mv /OldFolderLocation/johnnybgood/Desktop/* /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Desktop
           sudo mv /OldFolderLocation/johnnybgood/Music/* /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Music
           ....etc....
           (notice how we are not just moving the old johnnybgood folder to the new location.)
    3. Next, we change the ownership and file permissions:
           sudo chown -R johnnybgood:staff /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Documents
           sudo chown -R johnnybgood:staff /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Desktop
           sudo chown -R johnnybgood:staff /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Music
           ...etc...
           sudo chmod -R 700 /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Documents
           sudo chmod -R 700 /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Desktop
           sudo chmod -R 700 /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Music
           ...etc...
    4. Let the user log in and use the system normally.

  • Mavericks server only serves one calendar per user

    Hi everybody,
    I'm a little bit stuck and could use some help. My situation:
    I've installed mavericks server, configured dns and open directory, started file sharing, defined home folders for network users on the server, created network users and started calendar & adressbook services.
    I've bound a mavericks client to the server and I'm able to log into the client with a network account. The home directory lies on the server and everything is running ok. I've created two calendars with the account and entered some appointments. Logging into another client everthing shows up, as it should be.
    So far so good.
    Now I'm trying to add the calendar of the above network account to an iphone or to another account on the client. Unfortunately the server presents on the iphone as well on the client only one empty calendar. I suppose it's a new calendar and not one of the calendars I've created upfront on the server.
    Any clues?

    If you can download the ML installer you can make a bootable install media by using:
    http://liondiskmaker.com/
    If your Mini came with ML you can also boot to Internet Recovery
    OS X: About OS X Recovery
    and it will install ML. Make sure you boot to Internet Recovery and not the Recovery Partition. If to the partition you will only get Mavericks.

  • Messages in Mavericks Server 3.0.1 Not Working

    I have set up Mavericks Server. Most things are working fine but messages, won't. When I sign into the server via the Messages app, it just says that the login is incorrect. I added the server account via System Preferences. I'm not sure what is wrong but a look in the logs shows me this:
    connection to router closed Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds 
    I'm not sure what this means or if there is any way to fix this. I have port forwarded the ports for Jabber/XMPP that are on this site.

    Hello Elgringito,
    thank you for your replay.
    I rebooted from the Maveriks server disk (during the day we use the ML server since it works with mo problems).
    I started Server 3.0.1 app
    I entered Terminal and did the command you suggested: sudo serveradmin fullstatus vpn
    Here is the full Terminal answer:
    vpn:servicePortsAreRestricted = "NO"
    vpn:readWriteSettingsVersion = 1
    vpn:servers:com.apple.ppp.pptp:AuthenticationProtocol = "MSCHAP2"
    vpn:servers:com.apple.ppp.pptp:CurrentConnections = 0
    vpn:servers:com.apple.ppp.pptp:enabled = no
    vpn:servers:com.apple.ppp.pptp:MPPEKeySize = "MPPEKeySize128"
    vpn:servers:com.apple.ppp.pptp:Type = "PPP"
    vpn:servers:com.apple.ppp.pptp:SubType = "PPTP"
    vpn:servers:com.apple.ppp.pptp:AuthenticatorPlugins = "DSAuth"
    vpn:servers:com.apple.ppp.l2tp:AuthenticationProtocol = "MSCHAP2"
    vpn:servers:com.apple.ppp.l2tp:CurrentConnections = 0
    vpn:servers:com.apple.ppp.l2tp:enabled = yes
    vpn:servers:com.apple.ppp.l2tp:startedTime = "2013-11-14 20:16:38 +0000"
    vpn:servers:com.apple.ppp.l2tp:Type = "PPP"
    vpn:servers:com.apple.ppp.l2tp:SubType = "L2TP"
    vpn:servers:com.apple.ppp.l2tp:AuthenticatorPlugins = "DSAuth"
    vpn:servers:com.apple.ppp.l2tp:pid = 158
    vpn:servicePortsRestrictionInfo = _empty_array
    vpn:health = _empty_dictionary
    vpn:logPaths:vpnLog = "/var/log/ppp/vpnd.log"
    vpn:configured = yes
    vpn:state = "RUNNING"
    vpn:setStateVersion = 1
    Honestly I can't gest clues of what wrong, but maybe you do :-)
