MDM Login
Hello,
I am working with MDM 5.5 Sp05 and in that in order to access the repositories you need to login.
But when I try to login with the default Username as "Admin" and Password as blank it doesnt gaurantee that it gets logged in every time its shows the error as login failed for repository.
Suggest something
-Karan
Hi Karan,
For accessing a Repository the simple procedure has to be followed. For doing that u dont need to unmount Repository.
Steps:
1) Go to console of the Repository . Check the status of the repository. It should be loaded.
2) If not loaded , load it and then check with the import Manager .It should work.
3) If still the problem prevails then go back to console again. Unload the repository.Go to admin table .There u will find a tables Roles & Users. Go to Users and then check for the username and password provided there.U can even change the name and password .
4)After doing this use the same name and password in the import Manager .
I hope this will help u .
Please reward points if u find this blog helpful.
Regards..
Deepankar.

Hi All,
When I am trying to login in MDM I am getting following message
*" RFC connection is failed....... Please contact to system administrator."*
Some time when there are more than 10 users or when MDM is idle for some time then _MDM session is not closing_ .
Please help me with these 2 issues.

Some programs won't launch from menu/desktop - XFCE
I've recently installed a few programs for my desktop - mainly Anki, and MDM login manager. They installed fine, and as most programs do - produced a menu app for it. But for some odd reason, no matter if I try to access it by the XFCE menu, or even creating a desktop icon for it; the program will not launch. Nothing happens. On the other hand, if I launch the program through the terminal I have no issues. It's more of an annoyance than it is a huge problem, but if anyone could help me fix this I'd really appreciate it.
As a side note, it's not an issue of logging out and back in as this has been an ongoing problem for about a week of logout's/reboot's/shutdown's, etc. I'm not sure what kind of information you would need to help diaognose this, so if I can provide anything else of use, please let me know.For Anki - Both .desktop and terminal command is the same. When trying to launch it with run in terminal, it complains of an untrusted application launcher. I have the choice to launch anyways, or mark as executable. After marking it as executable, the terminal appears for a brief second, then disappears with nothing else.
MDM Launcher - The .desktop is different - pkexec /usr/bin/mdmsetup - where I just type mdmsetup in terminal. When clicking to run in terminal, a polkit authentication pops up in the terminal with sudo and asks for permission to run, and my password. After I type it in, it disappears and nothing launches. If I go into a terminal and choose the same as the the .desktop, the authentication pops up, I repeate the process but this time I get this error: "(mdmsetup:3766): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:" -
How to find the owner of checked-out record?
Hello Experts,
How to find the owner of checked-out record?Hi,
I completely agree with Ravi.
If you are using MDM 7.1 you can see the Job ID of that record on the right in MDM
Login as Admin in MDM and search for the job ID to find the owner of the record

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone was aware if the last date/time login history of a mdm user to a repository is actually stored in one of the DBMS tables for a repository schema. We are aware of the Audit xml log file that tracks actions of when a user logs into a repository - but we are trying to find out if this is already recored in one of the MDM database tables so we can more easily make use of last login time for custom development.
Thanks.Hi David,
You can try out this...... goin the Console client in the system tables check the Login Table. But this you will get records that MDM maintains which corresponds to a currently connected MDM client application, along with the connection time and time since last access, allowing you to monitor connection activity.
Name: The user name.
Host Name: The system on which the MDM client is running.
Application Name: The MDM application (e.g. Client, API, Import Manager).
Connection Time: The date and time the connection was established.
Last Activity Time: The date and time the connection was last accessed.
Hope this helps you ...............

Error while opening MDM Data Manager
Hi,
We are getting the following error while trying to open Data manager on our repository.
"Error Initializing Attributes for table Taxonomy
Application will exit
Already exists"
mds Version 5.5.42.90
MDM DataManager Ver5.5.42.90
The repository loads without any errors. The server log file too doesnt show any errors.
Is there anyway to fix this?Go to your MDM console, Login to repository and Unload repository first.
Then load with Update Indices.
This problem comes when you change anything in schema in console and then load repository with immediate option.
So always prefer to use update indices as accelator files will get updated and data comes from actual database.
If the problem still persists then Go again to console and check your repository for any fatal error. if errors come then repair repository and if not come then also repair.
Then load with update indices.
Hope it will help you.

Error 'Program not registered' while testing RFC - SRM to MDM / TCP/IP conn
Hello All,
While testing RFC connection in SRM, we are getting this error. This connection between SRM to MDM. Any inputs will be highly appreciated.
Error Details LOCATION: SAP-Gateway on host <hostname> / sapgw<instance no>
our server OS : windows 2008 server
We are getting error while doing connection test in SRM.
This is sm59 connection (TCP/IP ) connection.
Connection Type: T / RFC destination Name: MDM_API_CATALOG
Registered server program: hostname.MDS
I checked smgw transaction ..Logged on clients...Program id is not showing. Any hint will be helpful.
I Checked this MDM setup also.
MDS setup
In mdm server go to folder F:\usr\sap\DM1\MDS00\config
Open MDM.ini file in notepad
Add the below 2 entries.
SAP RFC Gateways= GWHOST=XXXX.hostnamexxx.xxx GWSERV=sapgw00
Trusted SAP Systems= XXD
This will enable gateway connection between SRM and MDM and will enable trusted connection.
For trusted connections to work, we created a service user called SRM_MDM_API with SAP_ALL in SRM and also created the same user in MDM with Default role.
Error message:

Procedure Tried
1) This procedure is for Linux OS - Similarly we tried in Windows OS ( If any procedure is wrong also, Please correct us)
To register the program login into the OS level as sudo su u2013 <sid>adm and execute the following command.
rfcexec u2013g<program id> -a<gateway host name> -x<gateway service>
rfcexec is the server program name, the <program id> can be obtained from SM59, it is case sensitive and should match with the entry in SM59. The <gateway host name> and <gateway service> can be obtained from the transaction SMGW. When this command is executed it goes to a hanging loop.
The connection will fail once this command is terminated or the user executing this command logs off
2)
To avoid this, instead of using the above mentioned command an entry should be made in the file saprfc.ini
To do this, execute the following command
sudo su u2013 <sid>adm
rfcexec u2013D<destination name>
<destination name> is the RFC destination name in SM59
In order to do above step 2, we could not find saprfc.ini in windows 2008 server. Please let us know path where it will be usually?
3) Already checked the notes sapnote_0000684841
I know that it is generic error..This is happening to specific one of system only.
Thanks
Edited by: saptest2011 on May 20, 2011 5:36 PMHello SM,
Thanks for your quick reply.
Thanks for sharing link for document ie Configure the MDM Administration_cockpit. It is helpful. I read that document.
But still issue remain there.
The same RFC connection works between SRM sandbox to MDM sandbox.
Only issue with SRM Prod to MDM Prod (newly built system)
difference between MDM Prod and MDM sandbox.
MDM Prod runs: Windows server 2008 OS
MDM Sandbox runs: Windows server 2003 OS
Landscape: PI7.1, MDM 7.1 and SRM 5.5, SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0
Even i did os01 tcode ping test using host name (specific IP address) from SRM prod to MDM prod, it is fine.
Thanks a lot for your help.
I checked these notes also
Note 353597 - Registering a server program
Note 44844 - No connection to registered RFC program
Note: in smgw tcode in SRM system, the required program id is not showing in logged on clients
Thanks

SRM MDM, Error, "Table with Code 'null' does not exist in repository"
Hi experts,
We has SRM MDM scenario, while doing OCI settings, we are able to connect with MDM repository but getting follwoing error message in portal, "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Table with Code 'null' does not exist in the repository 'Repository' or is one of the system table (e.g. Workflows) that is not exposed in repository schema"
Can You please suggest,
Thanks and Regards,
MunishHi everyone,
Sudhanshu and Anshuk:- Thanks for your response, let me try and explain the real scenario in details:-
We have deployed the SRM-MDM Catalog Search UI in Portal.
We tried accessing the http://<Portal Host>:<Portal Port>/SRM-MDM/SRM_MDM
Then we got a screen (Search UI App screen), where in we have provided the MDM Server name, then the MDM Server Password, then presses the Connect button, then below this, it displayed the Repository name created in the MDM. We have selected the Repository, then provided the Credentials of a User (Name: T_CORP) in MDM which has "Catalog Manager", and the "UI Configuration Manager" Roles. Please note that these Role names were created by us in MDM. Is it the right procedure or do we have any standard Roles delivered by SAP in MDM to map? If any standard Roles are available, where we need to check these.
Once the Credentials of MDM User is provided, and then selected the "Login" button.
Then we are getting the below error.
"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Table with Code 'null' does not exist in the repository 'Repository' or is one of the system table (e.g. Workflows) that is not exposed in repository schema"
Please clarify; we are not configuring any values in iViews. Where we need to do this, I mean name of the iView, and what values do we need provide generally? We are just running the Search UI App application; I don't think it is an iView, because the URL shows the Application name details, etc...
Please guide us, how to fix this Error.
Thanks and Regards,
Munish -
SRM-MDM Catalog Installation/Landscape
Hi,
We are currently having the following landscape in place with regards to the SRM, MDM and SRM-MDM Catalog :
Server 1 : SRM 5.0 Running (HP-UX)
Server 2: Enterprise Portal running with MDM Content and SRM-MDM Catalog JAVA components (HP-UX)
Server 3: Standard MDM Server installation (Windows 2K)
We have configured everything according to the notes and guides (including the guide from Sudhendu Pandey), but when we try to configure the Search UI in Webdynrpo, the java components cannot connect to the MDM host and we are getting just the connection failed error.
My questions are :
1) Can we run with the above landscape or is it necessary to have the SRM-MDM Catalog Java components installed on the same server as MDM.
2) Do we have problems with versioning of the MDM server and the SRM-MDM java components ? We already replaced the MDM_JAVA_API with the correct one, but I do not have a newer version of the other api.
3) Do I need to configure anything on the MDM server to get this running ?
Thanks in advance for your help
Regards
RaymondHi Foh,
Apologies for my late reply, but I was travelling. Thanks for this tip. We were using the latest versions for the MDM Portal Content, but the API for the SRM-MDM catalog was different.
I have updated this API with the latest version (Patch 3 HF 1) and now I can logon to the MDM server and I see the MDM Repositories. However if I now try to logon to one of the repositories he gives me the same error that the Login has Failed. The user that I am using is the default one coming with the SRM-MDM repository (Admin).

SRM 7.0 and SRM MDM Installation query
Hi,
I have installed Both AS ABAP and AS JAVA Stack separately and going forward I need to know
1) Do I need to install any other servers other than this like EP and PI etc?
2) I also wanted to install SRM MDM, for that I have gone through some documents and threads and found that
Prerequisites
1. SRM Server- Installed with ORACLE database
2) For SRM MDM
Ø Download the SRM-MDM Catalog 2.0 installable from Market Place-- Done
Ø Install the MDM Server and other GUI Clients--Done
Ø UnArchive the SRM-MDM repository available with the installables only
Need help for
. Not able to find DBMS server
. User
. Password for DBMS setting
Ø Deploy the two SCA files - MDMJavaAPI and SRMMDMCAT on WAS and restart the Portal- Done
Ø Access the Config UI by using the URL http://:/SRM-MDM/SRM_MDM and change the layout as per the requirement. In this you can specify the fields to be displayed for Search, type of UI etc for the particular user
. Where I can get the "Port"
Will follow the below steps once the above issues are resolved
*Create the Web Service in SRM system and specify all the required
parameters. You should get the SRM-MDM configuration guide from Market
Place.
*Change the Org Plan in SRM to assign the Catalog to the SRM users.
*Login into EBP and select SHOP, you should get the SRM-MDM Catalog link
if all the configurations are there in place.)
3. Web Application Server
> Is seperate WAS required even after installing SRM AS JAVA stack, if yes what to install
4) In the market place I have found that SRM MDM install.exe and in that there are two options to execute. Install MDM
. Install SRM MDM
Do I need to install both or only one or is this not required, if I install SRM MDM my question is what is the use of
the above point 2 steps process this one
Thanks,
Jairaj

The DBMS Server property defines the network identification string of the DBMS instance / machine / server that is used by the DBMSspecific client on the MDM Server machine to connect to the DBMS. The brand of DBMS on which the repository is running is shown in the DBMS Type property.
NOTE ►► When you mount two MDM repositories with the same name (but located on different DBMS Servers) on the same MDM Server, MDM distinguishes them in the Console Hierarchy pane by appending the name of the DBMS Server in angular brackets to the repository name (e.g. u201Crepository <server>u201D).

Some important questions on MDM functionality
Hello All,
I have some basic/imp questions to be understood on MDM 7.1 for a data consolidation project.
1) When importing records in import manager, some of the records are failed with this error message "Import failed. Unable to find value map index". When checked the records in excel source, those records are having one or two fields carrying some square like char, ? and some non readable char (chinese, japanese). SAP is the source and SAP CRM has those characters successfully maintained in the system but MDM has some issue. How do we tackle these in MDM to successfully import those records?
2) How do we archive a repository to create a new one which needs to have empty records in main table but need to carry look up table records?
3) There are some records attached to workflow and when deleted those records from data manager, system throwing error "attached to workflow". Can anyone help me how to remove this attachment and delete those records?
4) The max number of records which can be imported at one shot in import manager is 100K? What happens when we exceed this records let's say 200K? Does the process go infinite loop? Is there a way out to import more than 100K records at one shot?
5) What are the different types of data consolidation projects MDM Gurus encounter? Elaborate please.
6) How many clients use Hierarchy, taxonomy, family tables for repository design? Is it very common or rare? And what would be some of the reference use cases (articles) I could find in sdn blogs for these?
Thx and appreciate for responding to these and also please let me know if any additional articles around MDM which are very popular and must see for a MDM consultant.
-Mike1) When importing records in import manager, some of the records are failed with this error message "Import failed. Unable to find value map index". When checked the records in excel source, those records are having one or two fields carrying some square like char, ? and some non readable char (chinese, japanese). SAP is the source and SAP CRM has those characters successfully maintained in the system but MDM has some issue. How do we tackle these in MDM to successfully import those records?
Thats a known issue in MDM 5.5 but i am not sure about the current 7.1 SP08 release it might by fixed too, MDM Import manager does not support some special characters,only solution is to identify those records which has special characters in excel and exclude them from the load, may by unmapping the field which has special characters and load the other fields data using the map. and then login to Data manager and copy the text to the corresponding record manually.
2) How do we archive a repository to create a new one which needs to have empty records in main table but need to carry look up table records?
We can not create a repository from an archive with out main table data automatically. you need to clean the main table manually or by using an import map we can delete the data.
Check the below link for deleting data from a main table through import manager:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0245870-0adf-2b10-46a8-ca9dcf8e1a4d?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
3) There are some records attached to workflow and when deleted those records from data manager, system throwing error "attached to workflow". Can anyone help me how to remove this attachment and delete those records?
Click on workflows tab in data manager and you can find in which workflow the record is and check the history by right clicking on the record. if you have rights to stop the workflow do that , or else login with the workflow owner and stop the workflow so that record will come out of the workflow and will be able to be delete that record.
4) The max number of records which can be imported at one shot in import manager is 100K? What happens when we exceed this records let's say 200K? Does the process go infinite loop? Is there a way out to import more than 100K records at one shot?
Importing 100K data in one shot is not a good idea, and the system will go in infinte loop. you need to split the source files in to multiple chunks. chunk size in your system will be set in MDS.INI file, talk to your MDM Basis guy he will help you in getting details of those..
5) What are the different types of data consolidation projects MDM Gurus encounter? Elaborate please.
Let us know which kind of consolidation project you are working in, Tricks will be based on the particular requirement
6) How many clients use Hierarchy, taxonomy, family tables for repository design? Is it very common or rare? And what would be some of the reference use cases (articles) I could find in sdn blogs for these?
Again for this question it will be based on the requirements... i am sure you will be able to find blogs how to use hierarchies,taxanomies and family tables but not the client names...
Hope i answered your questions.

hi experts,
i could not work with data manager, the error is prompting by telling that it cannot load the repository. can anyone will help me in solving this error.
thanks,
kannan.Hi Kannan,
Data Manager can only connect to repositories that are loaded and running on a running MDM Server. To check this, you have to use MDM Console:
1. Start MDM Console and mount your MDM Server. A green arrow icon before your server name indicates that your MDM Server is running. If not, start the MDM Server.
2. You'll see a list of repositories available for this server. If your repository is not visible, you have to mount it first. You can do so by right-clicking on the server and choose the action from the context menu. If your repository is visible, login to the repository and check the repository state. Again a green arrow icon before your repository indicates that the repository is loaded. If not, load the repository! As soon as your repository is running, you can conntect to it with the Data Manager.

Error while connecting to MDM server from Webdynpro
Hi ,
I am trying to connect to MDM server (5.5 SP04 no patches) through a webdynpro application . The following is the piece of code that I am using as a test .
CatalogData CatalogData = new CatalogData();
int resultLogin = 0;
try {
resultLogin = CatalogData.Login("USNOC01AQ05",2005,"Admin","Erico1234","English [US]");
}catch(Exception e){
wdContext.currentContextElement().setValueattr("Not Connected");
//System.out.println("Error while establishing connection");
if (resultLogin != RC.RC_OK){
wdContext.currentContextElement().setValueattr("Not Connected");
//System.out.println("Error logging to the SDM server");
//System.exit(-1);
wdContext.currentContextElement().setValueattr("Connected");
//System.out.println("MDM server connected");
The import statements are as follows
import a2i.common.CatalogData;
import a2i.generated.RC;
I have put the following jar files in the java build path
MDM4J
mdm-admin
mdm-common
mdm-core
mdm-data
mdm-protocol
When I deploy my application I get the following error
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: a2i/common/CatalogData
It can't be determined from the exception chain, which class loader failed to load the above class. But at least the class loader of the current application does not contain a resource with name 'a2i/common/CatalogData'.
What do you guys think is the problem ?
Regards
DeepaK SinghHi ,
I found a document which says that MDM4J is the legacy API and is considered deprecated .The MDM Java API is the new one .I have both of them in the java build path . I am not sure if this is that cause of the problem .
Now I had a look at the javadoc for the new API but I am not able to locate the class to obtain a connection to the MDM server from a custom application being built in Netweaver Developer Studio . Can someone help me out with the same ?What would be the code to obtain the connection to the MDM server with the new JAVA API ?

Lion Server Setup (Network Login/Mobile Account and more...)
Hardware:
Mac mini Intel Core i7, 2 GHz, 8 GB memory (Server) x 1

So my head's swimming with "I dunno's" and I've been perusing probably all the wrong threads trying not to sound like a noob and find the literature that will finally lead me to a solution. This is my first rodeo so make no assumptions about my experience (maybe).
Short Version
I can't login network users. I get an error "You are unable to log in to the user account "<%short_name%>" at this time. Logging in using >console tells me this No home directory: <path to home directory> i.e. /Network/Servers/department.domain.com/Department/Accounts/bbunny
If anyone can point me where to read, I will do so.
Perhaps a longer discussion on how to verify that the proper permissions exist on the share/home directory in question and what those would be.
More detail...
I want to setup a Mac Mini server to have network login accounts stored on the 2nd data volume in a directory we shall call Accounts*. Here all the "network users/logins" have their home directories, so that when they login at the workstation the idea is the workstation will sync their account and allow them to login, if the server is not available, the hope is I can configure it to allow them to login if they've logged in before and the files will sync when they are able. That being the ideal, I get the impression that for best practices, Apple is discouraging the use of mobile accounts that use Home Sync perhaps because it's reliability has been iffy, please advise. A windows user might think of this as "roaming profiles" but, if I understand it, its a little more than that.
Note, I do not want to login to the server and actively work on that network share, I want the account to be local and sync'd as needed. But I want the user to be able to sit at any of the 6 other workstations and see the same documents, emails etc. Obviously if the server is down, it won't be possible to authenticate, but I think it should have cached credentials that should allow the user to login if the server is down and still go about their work.
This is the small picture...there is a larger picture that involves, parallel virtual machines of Windows Server 2008 R2 on server and and Windows 7 on the client, ical, ichat and perhaps wiki's.
I apologize for the roughness of this question, in the interest of brevity, I have plenty of problems that led me here that I can expound upon if asked.
Also a silly question someone might know the answer too, Why does the login payload settings that I have pushed to a workstation device, sometimes vanish inconsistently upon logout?Ok, Some Good news and clearer understanding to disseminate in this post I hope it helps
"the Universe" so I am posting it here in my "ever-the-noob" blog on apple forums.
Problem
What do you do when you get an error when logging into a mobile account setup?
One symptom would be the error message below...
"You are unable to log in to the user account "<%short_name%>" at this time.
Logging in using >console You get the message…
"No home directory: <path to home directory>"
or
"You are unable to log in to the user account "<%short_name%>" at this time.
Logging in using >console tells me this No home directory: <path to home directory>
Solution
Do the check list…
Short Version
Sever Admin.app > Access (Key Component)
Check Permissions on directories for your file shares.
(The reason stuff doesn't work especially when you're rebuilding/recovering a server)
File sharing setup (Turned ON, Home sharing Enabled)
Directory Utility > Directory Editor or dscl
( Do not underestimate the importance of this part!!!!
Use white-gloves when you're handling it though!!! )
Workgroup Manager
(You're poopy "main" interface that really is a "window", not a "door", but maybe Apple likes to do things "Dukes of Hazard" style?)
Long Version
Check Sever Admin.app > Access
Make sure that your user has the "Proper" access. For me I created a test user from Server.app and saw what access he had as a way to "check myself for a properly created users" and because I think one is kind of on his/her own using WGM and duplicated the same access. (I was a little neater, though and did it with a group, not individual users, that would have been a mess!)
Server Admin.app > Access
Click the "+" sign, sort by UID and Add the imported users to the following Services…
( You can use a group, but understand when Server.app creates users they get added
individually to each of these groups. )
Address Book
AFP
iCal
iChat
Mail
Profile Manager
SMB
VPN
Check Permissions on directories for your file shares.
(That's an understatement) I could go in depth about all the crap I had to read about, I still
know I am missing a chunk of tech brain when it comes to the particulars. Basically, I boil
it down to this…
Permissions require thinking about things first with regards to POSIX permissions... good
ole ls, chmod, chgrp, chown to the rescue with ugo permissions or the old 755, 600 etc
stuff.
Apple's file-sharing access uses this as a starting point to see what the user is allowed to
access.
I also needed to use chflags once to unhide a file that I mucked around with using xattr.
I still haven't figured out why folders can lose their triangles, but I didn't find out if you cp or
move them from terminal, the triangles come back in the moved or copied directory. For a
minute I thought it was because cp alone doesn't preserve flag attributes, but mv actually
works by doing a cp that preserves the flags, unless it's a bug. I dunno.
This helped me get my file visible again...
chflags hidden path_to_file
chflags nohidden path_to_file
Read up on those manuals, if you're not a terminal type go to apples website
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/
or download...
http://www.bruji.com/bwana/ I thought that was cool.
or if you prefer to read the manual in pdf try…
man -t sharing | pstopdf -i -o ./Desktop/Sharing\ Manual.pdf
man -t chown | pstopdf -i -o ./Desktop/CHOWN\ Manual.pdf
man -t chmod | pstopdf -i -o ./Desktop/CHMOD\ Manual.pdf
man -t chgrp | pstopdf -i -o ./Desktop/CHGRP\ Manual.pdf
My basic guideline was avoid using ACLs if at all possible, if you try to use them, things
can get crazy complicated, take notes and plan, baby. If you read above, opening up
permissions wide is wrong though. You would restrict permissions tightly to begin with and
then place ACE (Access Control Entries) to specifically target the rights you want to enable.
Here's one that's obviously a novice attempt to do this, but since the novice is the only one
speaking…. here it is, Universe… >:P
sudo chmod -R +ai "admin allow read,write,delete,file_inherit,directory_inherit,search,list" Department/
That allowed my admin to do all the things a normal user could do so far… It fixed things for
my admin, which made me happy. I really hate having to authenticate or sudo just to see
the contents of a nested directory. I could explain it, and even give a few notes on why its
probably overkill, but I will attempt to look less stupid till "poked".
There's another command line utility I STILL haven't read, which may bear mentioning
because…well I haven't read it. umask (see wikipedia or unix.com)…I worked past my
problems without going into it so far, but obviously it's there, and it serves a purpose.
I also found this article helpful…and educational. :O
http://www.bresink.de/osx/300321023/Docs-en/pgs/ACL.html
( Its enlightening to hear the air whistling between a developer/coder's ears, still it's
apparent he has a clear idea what's going on.
Ever wonder why when you use get info to check or assign permissions it kind of
flakes out and doesn't take? Read this article! )
Second, if you can't obtain the "specific" permissions you need with POSIX, chmod also
can set the 2nd category of permissions, which windows users may be familiar with
Access Control Lists (ACLs) and here you get some really fine granularity...messy stuff.
All in all, if I felt I could guide you through these murky waters, I would, but I think I'll let
the professionals weigh in on that one and cut my wall-of-text to ribbons.
To heuristically check I would connect from a client as one or two of my users and see what
folders I could mount as a share, armored with an understanding of what ls -le@O * showed
me in Terminal.
3.) File sharing setup (Turned ON, Home sharing Enabled)
Here is an example of using command line sharing utility where each share is properly
labeled (that took a bit for me to figure out) still this share only enables the AFP share as
you can see from my flags.
sudo sharing -a /Volumes/Hard\ Drive/Department/Database -A Database-afp -F Database-ftp -S Database-smb -n Database -s 100 -g 000 -i 10
Then you do a sudo sharing -l and get back what you just did…
List of Share Points
name: Database
path: /Volumes/Hard Drive/Department/Database
afp: {
name: Database-afp
shared: 1
guest access: 0
inherit perms: 1
ftp: {
name: Database-ftp
shared: 0
guest access: 0
smb: {
name: Database-smb
shared: 0
guest access: 0
If you mess up the sharing command, you may not be paying attention (I wasn't) but there
are a lot of defaults that Apple will just assume you meant to do anyway and it won't read
any of your flags, you have to get it right or the flags will be defaulted.
( Basically I could tell I was bombing it for one, I explicitly only wanted afp working, but
the default was afp and smb. So each time I ran sudo sharing -l after I shot my sharing
command…back would come smb shared: 1 and I knew that wasn't right. Also my
custom names were defaulting to the name of the directory not the name I had
specified. )
I like to know what protocol my share is over so when it doesn't work, I know which protocol's
are connecting. It's not full-proof, but it's a bookmark. I wish the network browser would
identify the protocol that its available listed shares are using, because small visual queues
like that help when you're trying to see what works. Maybe that's something I should
investigate via the command line?
As a note about reading forums, I discovered using command line that "\" is kind of like a
way of going to next line neatly with long commands…."\ " is a way to insert a space. As you
can see above where I have a volume with a space in it.
Removing shares was a little trickier though, sharing -r Share\ With-space didn't work….I
had to enclose it in quotes and do "Share With-space" instead. So nooby beware!
( *nix users are now rolling their eyes at this tip. )
I wasn't sure how you enabled a share for home directories from the command line, maybe its
in the manual, but I was up to my eyeballs in manuals already so I haven't gone back to
revisit this question since my work around was to go to Server.app and verify that what I set
up in the sharing in terminal was being reflected in the gui…sort of my own MVC
(model-view-controller) check.
4.) Directory Utility > Directory Editor or dscl
Make sure what you see in WGM and Server.app are reflected here….to that question let's
take a journey where I did some exploring about that.
Ever really wonder "WHY CAN"T I REMOVE AN OLD HOME DIRECTORY SHARE?!!!"
Ah, then you will - LOVE - this tip…
( Provided my testing or yours, later, doesn't prove that in my ignorance I've broken
Open Directory. Remember, WHITEGLOVES!!!! but here we get a little dirty. I think of
OD as Apple's Registry, but that's not what it is at all. However, you as the user do have
to "****" around in it from time to time. )
I scoured the forums and everyone was saying things like "You have to change your server
role" etc. which seemed a little bit dumb to me (dumb because you're pushing views around
not "controlling"), and well, yea, that share that I couldn't modify or delete was REALLY
bugging me.
Now hmm… Before you do ANYTHING, how do you try to not hurt yourself…in Windows you
can make a Registry Backup….(yea bad analogy) In Server Admin.app you can go to your Open
Directory Service > Archive and Choose a place to Archive your information. (Figure this out by
yourself, this is getting long…sheesh! It's easy. Restoring is just as easy and painless.)
Before we can remove the entry we "SEE" in WGM we should make sure no
one has it selected so as not to "corrupt" the OD db, so in WGM first before going to Directory
Utility set the Home directory to "None". (We need to remember to set this to a correct share
later….Mental Note!!!)
Now Open Directory Utility
Method 1
System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options
Click the Lock to make changes…
Authenticate -> click "OK" (do I REALLY have to step-by-step this?)
Network Account Sever: • Local Server - click "Edit" button here.
Open Directory Utility > Directory Editor
( Wow, did Apple hire someone from Microsoft? You'ld think with all their research in to
Human Interface Design that's WAY too many clicks to get to something you need. )
or
Method 2 (It's good to know about this directory, neat-o speed-o app's hidden here.)
Use "Go to Folder" Under Finder > Go > Go to Folder...
⇧⌘G /System/Library/CoreServices/
Click "OK"
and Double click Directory Utility.app
or
Method 3
Terminal
open /System/Library/CoreServices/Directory\ Utility.app/
Now From the Directory Editor Pane you will see a Pop-up menu Labeled "Viewing"
You should glance through this and get to know it. You should use it to see what
information is really being stored about your Users, Groups, Mounts…
We are interested in Mounts, which is where we want to go…and there is the pesky
mount that you will see reflected in WGM.
Authenticate, and delete the bugger.
Quit WGM and restart it. Voila, bad share is GONE!!!!!
a.) First select all my users
b.) Then I clicked on the "+" and added the correct share
( Remember, I only showed you the first one we created, this is another and
for THIS one you HAVE to go into Server.app and verify that it is set to be
available for Home Directories in this case for AFP. )
For the home directory entry you do this...
afp://computer.domain.com/Accounts-afp
%short_name%
/Network/Servers/computer.domain.com/Volumes/Hard\ Drive/Department/Accounts/%short_name%
%short_name% is a wild card for the short name there are other wild cards check out Apple's
Documentation on them. I lost the link sorry \<shrug\>
Interesting dscl commands…(check it out in command line form and compare side by side with
what you see in the GUI Directory Utility)
dscl . list /users
dscl . list /groups
If you want to output information about each user, though, use readall:
dscl . readall /users
dscl . readall /groups
And if you need to programatically parse said information, use -plist to make your life easier:
dscl -plist . readall /users
dscl -plist . readall /groups
This made a little more direct sense to me, language wise…but fyi "." is kind of a wild card I think so the first
commands I think look in ALL directories local, Search, LDAP whatever you have. The command here
corresponds to the Entry from the Pop-up menu "…in node > Blah…" see GUI of Directory Utility to confirm.
dscl /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 -list /Users
dscl /Local/Default -list /Users
5.) Workgroup Manager
Remember this is a utility that is not long for this world. Apple's Mountain Lion is rumored to fully
replace it, why? Yea, Apple's making a go at MDM (Mobile Device Management) and somehow
desktop computers are being pulled/dragged along for the ride. I have plenty of issues with
Profile Manager, but I'll likely revisit it in a couple of months and see where we stand.
Anyway, treat this baby like the bottom rung, because, well it is built like you start your
foundation here, but it's just a viewer with controlling "tweaks". Use the other areas to get a solid
grasp of what is actually going on. Server.app is where you should create accounts you can
feel are safe. When you create accounts in WGM, you are responsible for making sure they
have the appropriate EVERYTHING.
This list is by no means complete, but these are the areas this noob is or was prepared to talk about.
Good night for now. Enjoy climbing my wall of text, and yea sorry about that. :O Run for you lives!!!!
