Mount options from Directory Utility

Ok, Directory Utility is gone / hidden into System Preferences...
I used to have a couple NFS mounts defined in Directory Utility. Those are no longer mounted after the upgrade and I don't see where I can set them up again. Anyone found a new way yet?

Thanks for the info. That's good to know

Best NFS mount options from Linux to Xsan?

So we are adding Linux clients to our network and I'm looking to learn the best NFS mount options to put in the fstab file. Right now they are set "defaults 0 0" and we are having problems. I assume because they are hard mounting. This is from the /proc/mounts file for one of the clients connecting to the Xsan:
10.X.X.X:/snet /snet nfs rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600, retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=10.X.X.X,mountvers=3,mountport=706,mountproto=udp,ad dr=10.X.X.X 0 0
Xsan 2.2, 2 MDCs running 10.6.4, Promise Array.

So we have finally solved this. It turns out that the defaults work just fine. Our issues were solved by changing which MDC was hosting the export, dividing up the workload a bit, our primary was running out of RAM.
Secondly, I added intr and soft to the NFS options, the smoothed things out further.

Nfs mount created with Netinfo not shown by Directory Utility in Leopard

On TIger I used to mount dynamically a few directories using NFS.
To do so, I used NetInfo.
I have upgraded to Leopard and the mounted directories
are still working, although Netinfo is not present anymore.
I was expecting to see these mount points and
modify them using Directory Utility, which has substituted Netinfo.
But they are not even shown in the Mount panel of Directory Utility.
Is there a way to see and modify NFS mount point previously
created by NetInfo with the new Directory Utility?

Thank you very much! I was able to recreate the static automount that I had previously had. I just had to create the "mounts" directory in /var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/ and then I saved the following text as a .plist file within "mounts".
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">

I don't think the specific name of the .plist file matters, or the value for "generateduid". I'm listing all this info assuming that someone out there might care.
I assume this would work for SMB shares also... if SMB worked, which it hasn't on my system since I installed leopard.

Remove nosuid option from nfs mounts on Mac Os X mountain lion

Hi there
I need to use sticky bit within an NFS export, and to use noowners mount option when I access NFS export from my mac.
So I have mounted the NFS export on my mac and performed a "chmod -R 7777 . " on the root directory of NFS export
I have modified the /etc/nfs.conf file as follows below:
Alessandros-MacBook-Pro:~ alessandro$ cat /etc/nfs.conf
# nfs.conf: the NFS configuration file
nfs.client.mount.options=nodev,noowners
when i mount the export using finder I can see the entry of my NFS export mounted with "noowners" option but also with "nosuid"
that prevents my export to follow sticky bit behaviour.
Alessandros-MacBook-Pro:~ root# mount
/dev/disk0s2 on / (hfs, local, journaled)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local, nobrowse)
/dev/disk1s2 on /Volumes/unit (hfs, local, journaled)
map -hosts on /net (autofs, nosuid, automounted, nobrowse)
map auto_home on /home (autofs, automounted, nobrowse)
10.100.10.162:/test_nfs on /Volumes/test_nfs (nfs, nodev, nosuid, noowners, mounted by alessandro)
What could I do in order to do this action by finder preventing the nosuid option to be applied?
Best regards
Alex

Authentication problem in Directory Utility (Standard Mode)

I misposted this in the 10.4-and-earlier section...I have Leopard.
Okay, I suppose I am in over my head as I am not a NA but just had so many macs I thought it would be fun to see if I can make OS X Server work.
I have at the moment 3 users set up: 1 admin and 2 Standard users. When one of the remote Macs tries to use Directory Utility to authenticate, it insists that "The name and password you entered for the user account on the server do not match." Well, I have reset the passwords on the server several times and I am darn sure I have them right. I can connect to the server and use folders and whatnot; i just can't use any of the services.
I suspect this is a permissions issue, because I also get errors if I try to "Allow (one of the standard users) to administer this server" in the Server Preferences/Users pane. I get "Error '-14120' occurred while processing a command of type 'setMembership' in plug-in 'servermgr_accounts'. That's very descriptive and helpful except that I do NOT know what I am doing.
Uh, little help? Did I just do something very stupid that is making everyone chuckle?

I've been at this for eight days myself. Lots of problems. So don't feel bad if things don't sort of "click" into place - they haven't been for me.
First off - I noticed that you have server_name.local. I'll say something right here about that. I had no end of grief when I configured my server with a .local extension. All my machines are named after Kellogg's cereals - so I decided to name this one honeycomb. So during installation I named it honeycomb.local.
Now before I explain this - understand this is my understanding .. I could be dead wrong - but this is how I understand it. Apple uses Bonjour technology to locate network resources. In a network environment there will no doubt already be conventional methods for locating computers - such as DNS, Directory Services, etc. Bonjour is designed to happily coexist with all of those. It essentially uses multicast technology to find other devices on the network and configure it. When a device is using Bonjour - it utilizes the .local suffix. You can see where I am going with this.
So I had some issues and decided to pull the plug. Reinstalled the OS and used honeycomb.private. I STILL see honeycomb.local being referenced throughout - so I feel good now that I made the right choice. Things have been going a lot better since.
I am going to use mymachine.private as the computer, and jdoe as the username in the next bit. Replace them with your own info.
+From my own experiences, here are some things to check+
*_1) Server must respond to the Client's Requests _*
On the Server:
-Use 'ipfw flush' and clear out firewall rules while you are testing.
-Does 'ping mymachine' work?
-Does 'ping mymachine.private' work?
_*2) Client must be able to find the data in Open Directory:*_
-Is Open Directory running in Server Admin.
-In Server Admin, under Open Directory, under Overview - do you have everything running? Is there an LDAP search base and a Kerberos Realm? Are they correct?
-Connect with an LDAP client if you must, and manually verify that the user information is in there. I love Apache Directory Studio (http://directory.apache.org/studio/)
-Perhaps there are certificate or identity issues - turn off the SSL options during testing.
-In Workgroup Manager->User jdoe->Home ensure the information is correct.
*_3) Client must be able to mount the home directory:_*
-Can you manually mount /Users/ on the client, and read / write everything in the jdoe folder ?
In Server Admin, under File Sharing
-/Users/ share point - Automount should be enabled (AFP, Home Folders)
-/Users/ permissions - others should be at least read-only
This is my preference .. but...
-/Users/jdoe permissions should be:
ACL: jdoe - Allow, +Full Control+
POSIX:
jdoe - Allow, +Read & Write+
admin - Allow, +Read & Write+
Others - Allow, None
Select jdoe folder, click on the Cog and Propagate Permissions. Check all permission boxes and click OK.
_On the Client_
I usually start off, by verifying:
-Does the client have a DHCP address from my server?
-Can my client ping the shortname and fullname of my server?
-Can I manually connect to the server and mount a share?
-Did I do an *ipfw /flush* on the client too?
If all that is correct, then I will go into Directory Utility and click the + to add a directory server. I will select type "Open Directory", type in the server name (mymachine.private), and leave SSL unchecked. Click OK. When done it should say:
mymachine.private(Open Directory Server) - This server is responding normally
Once you get this far, try logging out and logging in as a user - ie. jdoe
If it won't let you log in then answer this - did it do its shAkE at you or did it give you an error message?
Kerberos shouldn't be rearing its ugly head at this stage of the game - its more for single sign on .. but if you see any authentication windows with the words "REALM" or "PRINCIPLE" - those words should set off little Kerberos alarm bells in your head. Like I said - at this stage in the game I don't think those have anything to do with it.
_*Few other notes:*_
#1) In Workgroup Manager - you could add the client computer. Enter its full name and short name (you can get them from the sharing option in the client's system preferences). Once the computer is added, you can go into the preferences for the computer, click on Login Preferences and set it to always manage. Put a message in the message box such as "Directory has been consulted" and check the "Show Network Users" box. This way - when you log out .. you will have an indication as to whether the open directory is working at all on the client, or if the problem is more focused with the user account.
#2) I have been getting
+Error of type Not a known DirStatus (-1) on line 2075 of SourceCache/ WorkgroupManager/WorkgroupManager-319/Plugins/UserAccounts/UserAdvancedPluginVi ew.mm+
when creating a user in Workgroup Manager. I just close out of the user and then it allows me back in.
Drop a post if you manage to solve the problem.

Lion Directory Utility bugs

The Directory Utility is buggy, specifically when binding to AD domains.
1) The options to "Create mobile account at login" and to "Require confirmation before creating..." are not working properly.
Regardlesss if these 2 settings are enabled (checked) or not, a new user is ALWAYS prompted to create a mobile account. This is behavior that I do not want. I dont want new users to see this dialog box.
2) The option to "Use UNC path from AD to derive network home location" appears to always get enabled, even though I have explicitly disabled (unchecked) it. I do NOT want my AD Mac users to mount thier AD home folders at login time.

Sorry I can't help you with your specific problem, but there are lots of logs. Use the Console app (in Applications/Utilities or from Launchpad/Utilities) to access and search all of them.

EDSPermissionError(-14120) problems with LDAP, SSL and Directory Utility

Hello everyone,
Apologies for the repost but I think I may have made a mistake by posting this originally in the Installation, Setup and Migration forum instead of the Open Directory forum. At least I think that may be why I didn't receive any responses.
Anyway, I've been trying to get my head around Open Directory and SSL as they are implemented in Mac OS X Server 10.5 Leopard, and have been having a few issues. I would like to set up a secure internal infrastructure based around a local Certificate Authority that signs certificates for other internal services like LDAP, email, websites, etc.
I only have one Mac OS X Server and it is kind of a small office so I have gone against best practice and simply made it a CA (through Keychain Utility). I then generated a self-signed SSL certificate through Server Admin, and used the "Generate CSR" option to create a Certificate Signing Request. This went fine, but I did have some problems signing it with the CA, because the server documentation suggested that once I signed it it would pop open a Mail message containing the ASCII version of the signed certificate - it did not, and it took me a loooong time to realize that I could simply export the copy of the signed certificate it put in my local Keychain on the server as a PEM file and paste this back into the "Add Signed or Renewed Certificate from Certificate Authority" dialog box in Server Admin. Hopefully this can be fixed in a forthcoming patch, but I thought I would mention it here in case anyone else is stuck on this issue.
Once I did this I was able to use this certificate in the web server on the same machine and sure enough I was able to connect to it with with clients who had installed the CA certificate in their system Keychains without getting any error messages - very cool.
However, I haven't had quite as much luck getting it going with LDAP/Open Directory. I installed the certificate there as well, but have run into a number of problems. At first I could not get clients (also running 10.5.2) to talk to the server at all over SSL, receiving an error in Directory Utility that the server did not support SSL. I eventually discovered that the problem seemed to lie in the fact that the OpenLDAP implementation on Leopard is not tied in with the system Keychain, necessitating some command-line voodoo to install a copy of the CA cert in a local directory and point /etc/openldap/ldap.conf at it, as documented here: http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=20071203011158936
This allowed me to do an ldapsearch command over SSL, and seemingly turn SSL on on clients that were previously bound to the directory, and additionally allowed me to run Directory Utility on new clients and put in the server name with the SSL box checked and begin to go through the process of binding. Once this seemed to work, I turned off all plaintext LDAP communication and locked down the service by checking the "Enable authenticated directory binding," "Require authenticated binding," "Disable clear text passwords," and "Encrypt all packets" options in Server Admin. However, I am now running into a new problem, specifically that I cannot successfully bind a local account to a directory account over SSL.
Here's what happens:
1) I run Directory Utility, (or it auto-runs) and add a server, typing in the DNS name and clicking the SSL box.
2) I get asked to authenticate, and type in user credentials, including computer name (incidentally, should this be a FQDN or just a hostname?)
3) Provided I put admin credentials in here and not user-level credentials, I get taken to the "Do you want to set up Mail, VPN, etc.?" box that normally appears when you autodiscover or connect to an Open Directory server.
4) I click through, and am asked for a username and password on the server, as well as the password for my local account.
5) When I put this information in, I get a popup with the dreaded "eDSPermissionError(-14120)" and it fails.
Checking the logs in Server Admin reveals nothing special, and while I have seen a couple other threads on this error and various other binding problems:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5967023
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5982070
these have not solved the problem. In the Open Directory user name field I am putting the short username. I have tried putting [email protected] and the user's longname but this fails by saying the account does not exist. For some reason it does seem to work if I bind it to the initial admin account I created, but no other user accounts.
If I turn all the encryption stuff off I am able to join just fine, so I am suspecting that the error may lie in some other "under the hood" piece of software that doesn't get the CA trust settings from the Keychain or the ldap.conf file, but I'm stymied as to which piece of software this might be. Does anyone have any clues on what I might be able to do here?
Thanks,
Andrew

Hard to tell what is happening without looking at the application
source, knowing what OS & hardware you're using etc. You might want to
try running with different JVM versions to see if it's actually the VM
that is the problem. If you have a support contract with BEA you could
ask support to help you diagnose this.

Where is Directory Utility

I have a problem with permissions after migrating from an older macbook pro to a new one running snow leopard. I wanted to check on some user groups using the directory utility, but it is no longer in the Utility folder. Looking for help online suggests that in Snow Leopard it is in the Accounts preferences, but I can not see it - the preference window looks just the same as it did before and there is nothing to indicate where the Directory utility functions - setting root, for example - might be. Am I missing something?

what is it?

Quoted from the link I provided you with, in your other post.
These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
Mac OS X:  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
Windows Vista:  \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
Windows 7:  \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
Windows XP:  \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
Quit iTunes.
Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
Enter your account name and password.
If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.

Directory Utility: "Name and Password you entered... do not match." ????

Happy New Year all!
OS X 10.5 Server I think is slowly trying to kill me. I've had to re-install the system 3 times in as many months because of corruption with user accounts.
What I am struggling with currently is Directory Utility. All clients have accounts set up on the server. If they are local (plugged into the LAN), Directory Utility works like a champ and configures the desired services as advertised. However, when they are remote from the site, Directory Utility is able to locate and communicate with the server and offers to set up all services (just as when connected to the LAN), but when asked to authenticate an error message states:
"The name and password you entered for the user account on the server do not match."
It makes no difference which username (standard user or admin) I try. At the same time those laptops that were configured locally but used remotely continue to work perfectly communicating with the server.
Reading through the forums, I saw some (related?) suggestions recommending making changes to the options under the "Services" tab within Directory Utility (like unchecking LDAPv3). But I haven't found a combination of changing those options that gives me success. Someone else having a similar problem speculated it might have something to do with being behind an airport or router messing up the authentication. ???
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions about this?
Thanks!

Ok Hannah. I have just had a bit of a read of some articles on the net and it seems that getting Hotmail to work with Mail.app is not easy.
You may find some of the discussion in this thread helpful. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3193359
It starts off talking about mail on iPhone but towards the end there are some ideas about getting it going on Lion.
It seems that an alternative is to try a plug-in for Mail.app that handles the communications with Hotmail. You may want to look at http://www.hawkwings.net/2011/07/26/hotmail-yahoo-and-lions-mail/ for some links. Note that I don't have Hotmail so I can not vouch for any of this.

Using dscl to mount nfs from linux ...

I've been trying to figure out how to use dscl to add a bunch of nfs mounted filesystems to my iMacs. The NFS disks are on a linux cluster. By adding the NFS systems using the Directory Utility and then listing the changes with dscl I was able to replicate a lot of the necessary steps. I am still missing some pieces though.
So far I've got the following:
dscl . -create /mounts/host.server.ca:\/home
dscl . -append /mounts/host.server.ca:\/home VFSLinkDir /Network/host/home
dscl . -append /mounts/host.server.ca:\/home VFSOpts -P
dscl . -append /mounts/host.server.ca:\/home VFSType nfs
It looks like I also need a key called GeneratedUID but I have no idea how to create or retrieve the necessary value for that key.
Also there is the problem of forcing the system to see the changes. When I did this in the past with nicl (I've learned that this was pre OS X 10.5) I just forced the automounter restart with something like:
sudo kill -1 `cat /var/run/automount.pid`
Is this still the right thing to do?
I've googled and checked Apple's Command Line docs but I don't really find anything helpful. The mounts that I've added with Directory Utility work fine but I would like to be able to make these changes without actually sitting at each machine and going through the steps on the GUI. With a script and Remote Desktop it would take moments to add the mounts to all of the macs at once. There are many references on the web to doing this with nicl ... please point me toward instructions using dscl.

for the guid, you might try a routine that spits one out from /usr/bin/uuidgen. as far as i can tell, that should work. i haven't tested, though.
i'm also not sure if killing the automounter is the best way to go. check here for some details: http://managingosx.wordpress.com/2007/12/13/more-on-autofs

Read file from directory, update contents of the each file

How to restart base station from airport utility? I used to be able to do it remotely
I currently use a Mac Pro 10.8.4 and have a time machine for wireless 6.3 (630.34). Sometimes I cannot connect to the internet and use network preferences to diagnose the issue. This results in being told to restart the wireless. The airport utility includes the drop down option of restarting but is not clickable so I can't choose it.
With my prior macbook and same time capsule, etc if i had problems connecting to the internet I would run network diagnostics to help out. This included clicking on the airport utility ---> base station --> restart. This worked most of the time.
Bottom line, is there something I am missing in not being able to restart the wi-fi remotely? ]
Thanks in advance

You are likely forgetting a step.
Open AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon
Click Edit in the small window that appears
Now click the Base Station menu.....top of the screen....not the Base Station "tab" in the center of the screen
Click Restart

Repairing internal hard drive from disk utility

Hey folks,
I need to do a repair of my internal hard drive on my PB. I understand that in order to do this, you need to boot from another disk. I cloned my hard drive using CCC to an external firewire hard drive so I can boot from the external.
So I shut down and rebooted while holding the option key but the external hard drive did not appear as a choice for which to boot. So I booted with the internal and went to the Start Up Disk icon in System Preferences. There, the external appeared so I told it to restart using it.
After restart I went to the Disk Utility to repair the internal but when I did, the "repair" button would not illuminate. I'm pretty sure I'm running off the external because when I use spotlight, it searches the external and not the internal.
Any ideas?
(I'm trying to boot off an external because I cannot find my OS X disc referenced here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6642196#6642196)

If the "repair" button does is not selectable, maybe you indeed restarted using the same INTERNAL drive by mistake? Also, it could be that your INTERNAL hard drive is beyond repair, as which happened to my PowerMac's a few weeks ago and I--which I just mentioned on another forum--had to buy Data Rescue II to salvage my data because the only solution was to reformat the drive. It was beyond repair.
I don't know if this helps, but which did you select? The disk itself? (first in the hierarchy) or the volume (second in the hierarchy... list). Sometimes that matters. But I couldn't tell you since I can't see your screen and don't know your exact issue unless I saw it or was able to test it out.
The other thing could be, are you selecting the EXTERNAL by mistake on the list of drives on the left? You can't repair the disk/volume that you are booted up from, why you would need your software discs / restore discs to do that. But since you are doing it the "workaround" way, which should work, that is my guess.

Just a suggestion, why not just erase and reformat the damaged drive, and then once that's over, do a "Restore" from Disk Utility, choosing your external as the SOURCE and the internal that's been reformatted, as the DESTINATION.

I can´t remove windows partition from my mac because I´can´t select the remove option from boot camp assit. Can any body help me?

open disc utility choose the drive you need partitioning highlight the bootcamp partition and click on the minus sign at the bottom left.
after this manually resize your drive by dragging the partition line all the way down and click on partition.
