Migration process...can't login to new server

Hello all,
I am on page 30 of the migration process where I need to login into the new
server running the NSMEngine. I put in a username and password, like I had
before...and it just hangs.
I read where it said that I may have to be a member of the NSMAdmins
group...there isn't any such group in eDirectory. I have migrated my
policies over and don't want to remove or reinstall anything for fear of
losing my policies.
Any thoughts?
Tom

Tom,
I need more information if I am going to be of assistance.
I need to know what version and platform your running.
thanks,
NSM Development

Hi,
I found solution to the problem. By default sshd in solars 10 does not permit root logins.
We need to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config file as follows:
PermitRootLogin yes
and restart the sshd.
#svcadm restart ssh

No one can login to new server

I have just setup my new server (10.5.6). All appeared to go well. I have setup a few test users.
I have also used directory utility to join the clients to the server. Again all appeared to go well. I am using Open Directory and my server is OD master.
My problem:
My clients say that the server is responding normally and I get a green light. However, nobody can login. All I get is the shaking login screen, no error message at all. I am lost as to what to try. I have tried a few things and even re-installed the server a couple of times. All this leads to the same outcome.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Chris

Have you assigned users a home directory?
Is the AFP service running?
Have you created a mount record for the share assigned to home directories by checking the 'automount' option?
If yes to all of the above... can you login as a local user and then test manually connecting via the AFP service to the user's home using their credentials?

Migrated Users can't log in new ones can?

I hope someone can help me out here. I'm not a full time server admin and must be missing something...
I'm migrating an old G4 Xserve (10.4.11) to a newer Intel Xserve (10.6.6).
I got though the migration assistant successfully and the server boots and looks just like the old G4.
I did note a few glitches like a missing "com.apple.Boot.plist" file and none of the DHCP Static Maps migrated. All other settings, users, groups etc. look like they moved just fine. My data is all there and the folder structure is correct. DNS forward and reverse is working as it should.
Everything seams like it should be working fine, but not one of my migrated users can login to the server. All of them get the Message, "You are unable to log in to the user account "namehere" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred.
When I created a new "testuser" account with all the same settings, privileges, home folder location, etc and it can login just fine...
What am I missing here?

Can't login to admin server

Hello, I have a problem which is driving me crazy.
I simply can not login to the admin server.
I'm connecting to the flash admin-frontend which is hosted on the same server which the FMS is running on. The FMS version is 3.0.1 and it's running on RHEL5.
I've set the user and password in conf/fms.ini. I have checked that I have permission to connect in conf/Users.xml. Everything seems like it should work, but it just won't let me in and when looking in the logs (logs/admin.00.log) I just get a lot of lines saying "Failed login attempt from..."
Apart from this the server works. We are still using it for streaming and we have been able to login to the admin interface before, but it was a long time ago and now it just won't work anymore.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply.
The admin log just contains a lot lines like these:
2011-04-01 14:57:31 22552 (w)2671165 Failed login attempt from 130.239.57.123 at Fri 01 Apr 2011 02:57:31 PM CEST. -

And here's the Users.xml, I'm actually not sure why there's a password in here as well, or how it is updated (since it's encrypted).

Migrating Non ASM, Non RMAN to New Server with ASM and RMAN - Possible?

We currently have a database ( Oracle 10g R1 ) on a Sun Solaris server that is NOT using ASM or RMAN. The database is about 300GB. We are getting a new server and we want to install Oracle 10g R2 with ASM and RMAN and migrate the database.
I have seen the documentation on migrating non ASM to an ASM server but the methods all use RMAN. Is it possible to migrate to an ASM database without using RMAN? Would datapump import/export work if I created a new database on the new server with all the same tablespaces? Or, do I have to bite the bullet, install RMAN on the old server and do the backup?
Thanks.

If you're not using RMAN that doesn't mean you can't use it to perform a single backup, rman is contained in every oracle RDBMS installation version 10G or higher.
this is only a sample of how to do it
RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '<file_system_path>/%U.DBF';
--first we allocate the channel default channel.
RMAN>RUN
ALLOCATE CHANNEL DEFAULTCHANNEL TYPE DISK;
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
STARTUP MOUNT;
BACKUP DATABASE;
SHUTDOWN
}then once you have it, you can do what you want.
It should also be possible to manually restore the database from the original datafiles but it's better to follow the solution involving RMAN.

Can't login to ML server network user from a client

Hi,
The computer name on my customer's ML server was changed post OD installation. Now I can't login with network user credentials from a MacBook.
I also see the old server/hostname displayed in workgroup manager under "location" (see attached).
I've tried destroying OD by deleting it in Server app then re-adding it again but it still shows the old name in WGM as shown in the screenshot above.
I suspect this is related to authentication problems. Should I be running a utility like changeDirData.pl to update the old values? If so, what is the syntaxt?
Old name was: server1.stmarys.lan
New name is: server1.local
I ran the following: sudo /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/libexec/changeDirData.pl -i -s 192.168.2.2 -u diradmin -o server1.stmarys.lan -n server1.local
But got an error: cant contact ldap server to get config info

After contacting Apple server support, I was told there were two issues:
1- ".local" cannot be used in a hostname due to conflict with Bonjour
2- Hostnames must have three parts like "server.company.lan" & "server.lan" cannot be used
I wish Apple would inform users with a pop-up about these rules before they waste a lot of time having to re-do everything from scrath. I was lucky enough to have an export of all users.
If these rules are followed from the begining, DNS would auto-configure itself with the appropriate forward & reverse records.

Can't Login to New OD Master - Even when bound to OD

This is a completely new server installation on a multi-core MacPro of Leopard Server 10.5. I have followed best practice standards by configuring DNS first and double checking with changeip command. I than went from Standalone to OD Master and all the setting checked out. I configured DHCP for our small network. That worked fine. I than configured a home directory share with automount, created one new account and created home directory. I verified login to the server and creation of the home directory. Server updates are also done now.
Now the confusing part. I took a Mac OS X Leopard client machine, fully updated and used Directory Utility to bind client to server. Directory Utility reports bind is operational and working. I can use the Directory app to see myself as a user. HOWEVER - I can NOT login to the OD Master as the user I setup. The login screen just shakes me off as if the password is wrong. It is not.
I looked at the OD logs and I am being successfully autheticated by server. The client just refuses to login. I have tried 10.4 and 10.5 clients.
What have a messed up? <grin>

Hi
I'm guessing when you supply the user name and password there is a slight delay before you get the shake? is that correct? Or do you provide the user's credentials and you get the shake immediately with a message telling you the AFP or SMB Server can't be found?
To start with verify if the created user is a principal of the Kerberos Realm. On the server issue:
sudo kadmin.local -q list_principals
amongst other things you should see an entry for that user. Something like [email protected]
What you can do is to unbind. Remove the DirectoryServices folder and the edu.mit.Kerberos file from /Library/Preferences, restart the client and then place the Server's IP address in the client's DNS Server's field as well as the Domain name in the Search Domains field. Use Terminal and the host command to resolve the server's fqdn and then its IP address from the client. This will qualify the server's DNS service on the forward and reverse pointers. Use Directory Utility to bind to the Server using its IP address alone and don't bother with authenticated binding. Double-check the edu.mit.Kerberos file has been created in /Library/Preferences (this is evidence that you have received a TGT - you can refer to the server logs as well that should show this happening), log out of the local admin account and select Other. Go for the log in again and hopefully you should be now logged in with a network user's account and home folder.
Hope this helps, Tony

Migrate WWI and Expert Rules to new server

Hello,
Does anyone have any "best practice" document or information related to migrating WWI and Expert rules from an existing server to a new server? The "cookbook" provided in SAP Note for WWI installation does not mention anything regarding "re-install" or "migration.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Thomas,
I do not have a document available for you, but I would do it like this:
Make sure you have the same Word Version installed on both PCs
Make sure the word settings are the same (Trusted Locations / Macro Security etc.)
Make sure you have the same printers/printer drivers and default printer definied on both PCs
Copy WWI and Expert Folder from one PC to the other to the same location
Make sure you have the same PATH Variables defined on both PCs
Makre sure DCOM settings are the same of MS Word and Adobe
If you send PDFs make sure Adobe Reader and the tool you use to create PDFs is installed on both PCs the exact same way
SetUp the Windows Services for EH&S Management Server, WWI and Expert on the new server exactly the way they have been on the old server.
If your new PC has a different OS or newer Office Version I would do a complete new installation via the EH&S Management Server / CGSADM. Make sure to copy your Rules files and Graphics from the old PC to the new PC.
Hope this helps
Mark

SunONE Web Server 6.1 on linux: can't create a new server

Hi all
When we try to create a new server from the Admin server ("Add Server" button), and after fill the form and click OK, we get the following error in the "errors" log file of the admin server:
[23/Oct/2003:11:25:35] failure (14588): for host 10.95.4.28 trying to POST /https-admserv/bin/install, cgi_scan_headers reports: HTTP4044: the CGI program /opt/SUNWwbsvr/bin/https/admin/bin/install did not produce a valid header (program terminated without a valid CGI header. Check for core dump or other abnormal termination)
As I told in the subject, web server is installed on a linux (red hat) box
Is it a bug in the WebServer 6.1? for linux or for solaris too?
Regards

Hmmmm, well stick with the 7.2 version and let's see if we can figure this out.
What version of perl is on the box?

Can't login to new Client 100

Hi,
I have installed SAP Netweaver 7.0 SR1 SP3 ABAP Trial Version on Windows.
I have defined a new Client 100 with transaction SCC4.
I can't login to this new Client, it fails with message "name or password is incorrect". I have tried multiple credentials.
sap*/minisap
sap*/pass
sap*/06071992
None of them work
Please can you help?
Thanks, Olivier

> I can't login to this new Client, it fails with message "name or password is incorrect". I have tried multiple credentials.
> sap*/minisap
> sap*/pass
> sap*/06071992
sap*/pass is the one you need. For this to work you have to set the profile parameter login/no_automatic_user_sapstar to 0 (zero) and restart the instance. This parameter defaults to 1.
see [SAP help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/22/41c43ac23cef2fe10000000a114084/frameset.htm] for more info.

Can't login to windows server 2008

I have a remote windows server 2008 through rackspace. I was trying to block all outside connections to the outside world except on the domain of my company. When I did this, I blocked all connections now I can't get to the server. Any ideas?

Is your domain is in Rackspace? Have you change the firewall rule on the server itself? Now how you are trying to access the server? R u using remote Desktop? Actually Private connections are within the network where some trust relation ships are
there. if you block all the connections using the firewall on Domain then the clients may not connect to the domain and some times RDP won't work because of Firewall. So try to change the rule once.

Can't Login to new username created by Migration Assistant.

Brand new to the world of Macs and getting a bit frustrated.
I started a discussion earlier about how Migration Assistant created a new account and wanting to get those files to my original account. I got no response but now I'm finding a bigger issue. I can't figure out how to log on to that new user account. Initially I went to the the Users and Groups settings, and reset the password for that new user. Now when I try to log in as that new user, I get a message that says I must reset the password before loggin in. So I enter the password twice, hit reset, the window shakes and nothing happens. I've tried 3 different passwords thinking maybe it just isn't log enough, but to no avail. It won't let me reset the password at the log in screen so how am I supposed to get into the account? FWIW, its listed as a Admin account under Users & Groups if that makes any difference.
Assuming I can get in...what's the easiest way to get the files over to the original Admin account? I'm just transfering over iTunes (music and apps)...and nothing else. Is it easiest just to transfer files between the user accounts (which doesn't look terribly straightforward)? Should I delete the files and copy them over from a hard drive? Since the machine is only a few days old should I just wipe it clean and start again as if its brand new out of the box again? Again, just trying to get iTunes info copied over so my wife can sync her iPhone from the MacBook Pro instead of the PC.

First, note the short name of the account. This is the same as the name of its home folder, but not necessarily the name that appears in the login window.
Restart your computer, and while it is starting up, hold Command-S.
This will start up your Mac in Single User Mode. Once it has started up, you will need to enter three lines of code.
Enter sh /etc/rcand press return.
Then enter passwd yourusername and hit return. Now you will have to enter a new password twice.
What you type won't appear on screen, but it is working. Once you have done this, type reboot and hit return.

Can't login to Leopard Server after 10.5.3 update!

This is very strange and a little alarming. Last night we upgraded our server from 10.5.2 to 10.5.3. Everything seemed to go good, we were are able to login to all the services (AFP, Web Services, Server Admin, Workgroup Manager, Directory, etc) with no problems.
If I try to login to the OS either from Screen Sharing OR right at the machine, we can not log in at all. We are definitely using the correct credentials (same that we have been using for months) but when we enter them, the login box just shakes as if it is incorrect.
Any ideas?

Workgroup Manager would not let my Directory Administrator log in. I was able to log in using the local admin login (not localadmin as suggested earlier- that didn't work for me) I am new to the server environment so I don't know if this is voodoo or not but this is what fixed it for me:
1. Restore Server to last backup of 10.5.2 using Time Machine
2. Several log directories were missing after I restored so in order to stop the errors I re-created the directories. Some other errors were coming up mentioning kerberos so I decided to try to update again. Time Machine is nice but I don't think its ready for Server yet. (Apple please fix this its a nice feature!)
3. On a hunch I REMOVED A SPACE IN THE NAME OF MY BOOT DRIVE. From "Name Boot" to "Name_Boot" --- I don't know if this does anything or not but I've heard of weird issues like this in the past.
4. Repaired Permissions
5. Applied 10.5.3 combined update
6. Repaired Permissions (allot of permissions fixed here-supposedly)
Workgroup manager now connects. Time Machine errors out. I havn't gone through the logs yet to see what else the process broke.
I hope this can help someone ore at lease put someone down the right path to discovering the reason for the break.
