Mavericks won't connect to Snow Leopard server share points

I have 3 imacs, running mavericks which won't successfully log onto Snow Leopard server share points.
The server appears on the list on the left and i get to a login screen when i select the server.
I enter the username and password and the box just shakes.
However if I tick the "access as administrator" in the user prefs on the server, it can connect, however i don't want certain users to have admin rights.
The strange thing is, is that if i choose to login with a user name and password for one of the older macs (10.6), i can log in. But that defeats the object.
This is obviously an authentication issue between mavericks and SL.
Any one else had this?
Thanks in advance.

The "Trust, but verify" follows...
Launch the MS-DOS command box on Microsoft Windows XP.
Verify IP network connectivity with ping. Ping the Samba/CIFS server by IP, then by name. Ensure that the box you're connecting to is the one you think it is; that can be via telnet or web connections or otherwise; make sure your IP network is configured the way you believe it is, and you're getting to the host you think you're reaching.
If the IP address connection works but the domain name (host name) does not, then debug the DNS validity with dig or nslookup, and ensure the client can get DNS translations.
Verify that the [Windows registry settings|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1590] allow access to Samba/CIFS shares.
If you're not running Microsoft Windows 7 and the x86 gear here supports it, definitely upgrade. Windows 7 is a vast improvement over earlier releases, including over Windows XP.

Try using sort format of user name

Windows XP PC won't connect to Snow Leopard server share points

Cabled network. Two imacs and two pc's. All apart from one PC won't connect.
The Other PC is running the same Windows and connects, see's share points and login using correct user name and password. The Other pc, see's the server under workgroup, but when you go to connect it just whirs away and does nothing. The PC in question connects to internet, prints on network printer fine.
Disabled firewall and checked settings and they are the same as the other pc. Really stumped.
anybody got any clues?

Windows VNC clients cannot connect to Snow Leopard Server native VNC server

I am resurfacing the following related comment made in another post that discusses the same issue I am having with VNC on Snow Leopard. This is still an issue and I cannot connect to our Xserve's Snow Leopard Server with a VNC client on Windows.
I don't want to install another third party VNC server onto our SL Server, and am looking for a VNC client for windows that will connect to our SL Server.
Does anyone have any solutions?

Re: Newbie: Connect Windows -> OSX Server
Posted: Nov 4, 2009 9:26 AM in response to: Antonio Rocco
I would politely disagree. Yes, definitely, the Mac 'Screen Sharing' app works a treat, and Apple Remote Desktop.app works as well, but I am coming from a Window's PeeCee.
For me, connecting to my 10.5(.8) Server via tightvnc gives 'Server did not offer supported security type!". Using RealVNC to this machine states "No matching security types Do you wish to reconnect to ... ?" a telnet to this AppleVNCServer service (port 5900), shows RFB 003.889 *, or Remote Frame Buffer Major 3, minor 889.
Also, connecting to multiple 10.6(.1) Clients with Tightvnc correctly asks for a password but then hangs at "Status: Security type requested". Using RealVNC opens, connects, asks for authentication, and exits. Telneting to this AppleVNCServer service (port 5900), also shows RFB 003.889 *.
The Current Version of the protocol is supposed to be 3.8, that is Major version 3, minor version 8. Not 80 or 800 but Eight). http://www.realvnc.com/docs/rfbproto.pdf and I believe that tightvnc only supports up to version 3.7.
On each station I have installed the 'old' OSXVnc.app as a service (to a unique port). OSXVnc utilizes protocol 3.3 and I can control them successfully, but that is of my own doing because of this issue.
Now JollysFastVNC works a treat to any machine I have EVER tried to connect to. I have not tried COTVNC or any of the others (too slow for me, when they wer e around)
Also, I just noticed that RealVNC states that their free and personal version will not connect to Mac OSX (x86 and PPC) but the Enterprise one will. I just Dl'ed the Enterprise Viewer and it gave essentially the same thing ('protocol is not valid' message, even after it asks for a password). Anyway, I am not here to hijack this thread, just trying to keep the info flowing and open.
Maybe I am the only one with these problems but the bottom line is I cannot use Real or Tight, or UltraVNC to administer my server or clients as long as AppleVNCServer gives out the 003.889 protocol version.

Searching on the net brought me to the same solution that Mr. Hoffman found as well, I was a bit skeptical at first but since he recommended it, and all my other attempts failed, it was a last resort and I have some additional notes of my own for a successful solution. Read the two links below first before doing anything, as they contribute to the solution in tandem.

Wiped my entire macbook drive and now snow leopard won't install over snow leopard server, HELP!

I ordered, what I thought, was Snow Leopard a while ago because I was running Leopard and I wanted to get the app store so I could move onto Lion and then Mountain Lion. I ordered the disc over the phone and the woman sent me the Snow Leopard Server instead of just Snow Leopard, I didn't think much about it so I clean installed it and ran it on my unibody macbook for a while. I didn't see much use for the disc anymore seeing that everything was downloadable at this point, so I sold the disc on Ebay and carried on. The server edition started to slow my computer down due to all of its excess applications and what not, and I read online that Lion and Mountain Lion are also very slow on the old unibody Macbooks so I ordered a regular Snow Leopard disc, now available online, and tried to install it. My computer said Snow Leopard cannot be installed over Snow Leopard server so I went to disc utitlity and wiped my entire drive while the OS X Snow Leopard disc was running and trying to install. I went back to the install window and it still said OS X Snow leopard cannot be installed over Snow Leopard Server so I shut down my computer and tried to turn it back on and I all I got was a blinking folder with a question mark in it, what do I do????????
P.S. All of my content is backed up on an external harddrive so I am all good with that.

Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. After formatting has finished quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the Snow Leopard installation.

Port 80 won't open on snow leopard server

For some reason, one of my web servers has stopped working. When I do a port scan, it does not show port 80 as open. I have another web server, running tiger server, and it is fine. I have check my firewall settings, and they are fine, allowing http and https. I have deleted httpd.conf and restored the default about 5 times today, but no luck. I have done a software update, and am running SLS 10.6.8. I would appreciate any suggestions. This happened once about a year ago, and restoring the default httpd.conf fixed. Not this time.

Thank you so much for your help. Ran the configtest, and there was a syntax problem with one of the site config files. For some reason it was trying to start squirrelmail, even though I had not checked the mail checkbox in Server Admin. Then I checked the error log as you suggested, and for some strange reason the same config file for the same site was trying to point to an error log at /var/log/httpd instead of /var/log/apache2. Considering that I used Server Admin to setup the site config, these errors are a little frustrating. The short answer to your now moot question is that I was restoring the httpd.conf file because I was stupid and desperate. I suspected there was some corruption, I just was not smart enough to track the corruption down to the other config files until you pointed me in the right direction. Thank you again for your generosity in donating your talents to this dicussion board. I was totally stumped.

No Ethernet/Internet Connection on Parallels 7 Running Snow Leopard Server - Fix?

I have recently installed Parallels 7 on my 2013 iMac, and have both Snow Leopard Server and Windows 7 running great on the Parallels platform.
However, after installing some anti-virus software, "ClamXav" and "MacScan", I need to have the internet connected to my Paralells 7 so I can receive viral updates to both these programs. I am unable to get any ethernet/internet connection on my Paralells 7 running Snow Leopard Server.
I have tried to update the Paralells 7 Snow Leopard Server "network Info" (in SL systems preferences" ... as the same ethernet connection info that I have running my "network connection" on my main OS Mountain Lion, but still no ethernet connection in Paralells 7.
This is a screen grab of the locations where I believe I am able to update my "ethernet" info for Paralells 7 Snow Leopard:
Obviously, I've blurred out the current info in these two windows, for security purposes, but exactly what should be applied to these windows to get my "ethernet" connection in Paralells 7 up and running?
I would think entering the exact same "network info" as appears in my Mountain Lion "Systems Preferences - Network" window, would get me internet connected on Paralells 7 Snow Leopard? Evidently not ... what is needed for me to get this right?
Anyone have experience getting "ethernet/internet" connected on Snow Leopard Server, using Paralells 7?

Since I have been directed to: "NOT waste everyones time on this discussion" the only thing more I am going to do after this post is click on: "Stop email notifications" and never return to this thread again!
Internet access through Ethernet in Snow Leopard Server installed into Parallels 8 on 2011 Mac Mini in Lion:"
I simply don't want to purchase and have to install Parallels 8 .... Parallels 7 should work fine on connecting to the Internet. Also, I was asking about the internet connection issue with the new 2013 iMac (running Mountain Lion 10.8.3 runiing Parallels 7), not a 2011 Mini Mac running Lion with Parallels 8.

RSS feed from Snow Leopard server

I want to host an RSS feed from my server. What settings would be necessary to accomplish this?

The first things to do would be to download a program that will maintain your RSS feed. Podcast spitter from the app store was the top hit when I did a search. I've not used it, but it appears that it'll do the trick.
Next, just create a website using the web service in Snow Leopard Server.
Point Podcast Spitter at the share that hosts your web site and that should do the trick.
When you upload your RSS feed, all the stuff needed to make it an RSS feed should go with it.
Granted it's a VERY thinned out version of the steps needed to take, but the concepts are correct.
If you need a more detailed description, write back with more info about how your server is set up and how it's connected to the internet.

Binding Snow Leopard server OD to Mavericks server OD

Does anyone know if it's possible to setup a Snow Leopard server to bind Open Directory to a new server running Macvericks server?
I have 2 new mac minis running 10.9.4 with server 3.1.2 on them, one as an OD master and the other as a replica. We have a couple of older Xserves still running Snow Leopard server and must keep them that way because of some other software that can't be upgraded.
What we need is those 2 servers to be able to bind (not as a replica as it's not possible) to the master OD mac mini for authentication? I've been able to get the OD process on them to be set to "connect to another directory" then use Directory Utility to try and bind LDAPv3 to the master mini but it says invalid credentials supplied when I type in the proper OD username and password.
Any thoughts?

To work as Master and Replicas, all must be the same version of Server.
You cannot bind as Open Directory Servers (as in combining Open Directories), but you can run Mac OS X 10.6.8 workstations [running 10.6.8 or 10.6.8 Server] off a Mavericks plus Server 3 Open Directory Server. You can have Home Directories on an older Server. You may be able to provide some services off the older Servers. But you cannot keep them as Open Directory Servers on the same Network.
I think you just shut off Open Directory on the 10.6.8 Servers, then use Directory Utility to Bind to the Mac Mini or Replica Server as if they were Workstations.

VPN Server in Snow Leopard Server not accepting connections

I've got some issues with a new Snow Leopard Server, running on a Mac mini Server, and VPN.
I have a Linksys WRT310N performing router duties. I have enabled the VPN Passthrough in the router's configuration pages (IPSec, PPTP and L2TP all Enabled). In the Applications and Gaming section, I have enabled ports 1723 (TCP and UDP) and 1701 (TCP and UDP) to go through to the mini Server. In order to have the VPN Passthrough enabled, I have to have the SPI Firewall enabled on the router.
I have both PPTP and L2TP enabled on the Server. When I first tested it, everything worked.
Within 24 hours, it stopped working, and I can't work out why.
On the Server, I can see in the logs the following messages: (server name and IPs changed to protect the guilty)

I have a call with Apple Support this afternoon. Hopefully it will be fruitful. If I get anywhere, I will post it. If anyone has any bright ideas, they would be greatly appreciated.

Did you turn on the Printer Sharing in the "Share" preferences panel?
And, for Windows computers to access your printer, they need to install "Bonjour for Windows", which is a part of the iTunes+Quicktime install package, I believe.
Alternatively, you can turn on SMB sharing on your Mac, which is also in the "Share" preferences panel. You first highlight and turn on "File Sharing", then there is an "Options..." button to the right, clicke it and check the checkbox of "Share files and folder via SMB (Windows)".

Snow leopard server upgrade to Mavericks server?

I have a snow leopard server it is possible to upgrade it to Mavericks server?

This support article has a lot of details.
Refer to : OS X Server: Upgrade and migration from Lion Server or Snow Leopard Server
Your existing server sounds like it is reliable, configured correctly, has reliable backups and since you only have one service running, worst case would be to recreate the shares and permissions once on new OS with a purchase and installation of Server.app 3.x from the App Store.
Cheers

Snow Leopard server to Mavericks

I have Snow Leopard server on a Mac Mini 1TB hard drive, 4GB memory. If I download Mavericks and install - will it work? Presumably if I wanted to keep it as a server I would have to install server separately? Any views as to how well Mavericks will work on my setup?
I am considering this because too many software packages I use a lot are now languishing and not updated
Any thoughts gratefully received
Martin

Correct. First you have to download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store and install it, and after upgrading, purchase OS X Server from the Mac App Store.
OS X Mavericks should work without any problem, but you should make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

Why won't Snow Leopard server use an up to date mySQL?

I'm about to have to throw away a perfectly good Xserve since it won't update to mySQL 5.1.33 for Moodle 2.3. I'm almost to the point of deleting snow leopard and installing Ubuntu server in its place. I have no budget for buying an OS upgrade (our budgets have been cut >35%). so if snow leopard server cannot be upgraded (I see no technical reason for not doing so on Apple's part- I have this version on mysql running on an old FreeBSD 7 server for a trouble ticket server).
No, upgrading to a new version of the Mac server is not an option.

Grant, thank you so much for the quick reply. Yes, you're right, the tower is heavy as sin! Our more recent computers out west are iMacs which are much easier for us to deal with. We do have the tower upright. Bill just moved it here to our vacation house for the winter. Is it possible [don't underestimate him] that he could have inadvertantly opened the tower DVD slot and a decidedly important part fell out during the disconnect in B'ham? The discs don't seat themselves. It's like they're too large by just a smidge and won't sit level in the depression. As I close the tray the top of the opening scrapes the disc off. It won't let it go inside so I can begin the struggle with the install itself.

Updating Snow Leopard Server Software on Dual Intel Mac Mini

I have a 2009 Mac Mini Dual Core 2.53 Intel with 4 gb Ram running as a server under 10.6.8 Max OSX Server.
But I have never used the server capabilities and don't reallyneed them.
The Boss, Wife, wants ITunes radio on it, but it won't work apparently unless you run 10.9.
I tried updating to 10.9 server, but it wouldn't downlaod because the downloader said it needed to run under OSX 10.9.
I am trying to download Mavericks to see if it'll install, but I'm guessing the server level security won't let it.
How can I update to OSX 10.9 Server to basically keep her system as "same" as possible...so ITunes radio will work on it for her?
Is there an easy way other than copy as much as possible to another HD, reformat the entire original Mini HD and start from scratch?
I don't know if I can install another OS on it's second internal HD and just boot up from that one..since I think the server systen may not allow multiple boot drives?
Is there an easy solution to updateing Snow Leopard Server to Mavericks?

Help appreciated Greatly.
I downloaded Mavericks with no problem and held my breath to see if it would install OK.
It did.
No major issues and just about everything is working OK right out of the box.
Transition from Snow Leopard Server to OSX Mavericks Single User OS went fine.
Donlt have to worry about archane "Server Language" anymore and administerring this computer will be much easier.
Hope it's a stable build.

Mavericks won't connect to Snow Leopard server share points
