Mounting remote AFP volumes on Panther Server from Tiger client.

Has anyone else had this problem....
When connecting to a remote AFP share hosted on a Mac OS X 10.3.9 server I receive a message "Mount Failed, Could not mount volume “sharename.”. This happens when I enter the FQDN followed by the share name, for example "afp://servername.domain.co.uk/sharepoint". The client is part of an Open Directory domain and automounts work fine during boot as the home directory sharepoint works with local and remote homes. I have setup many 10.3.9 servers and have never encountered this issue on a Panther client.
Any help would be much appreciated and its driving me to distraction!
Regards
James.

We are not using the server for users' home directories, but thanks for that tip.
Today we have also started having issues at another site with a 10.3.8 server and Tiger clients. The behavior is a little different: when connecting to the Pather server with Tiger clients using a keychain-saved password, the client machine will freeze and must be rebooted. The server is showing no process crashes. Deleting the keychain and entering the password each time fixes the problem.
At the other site, the server is 10.3.9 and when Tiger clients tried to connect using a keychain password, their machine would get a spinning beach ball, but they could get out of it.

Getting error while hitting weblogic server from EBS client instance

Hi,
We are trying to hit weblogic server from EBS client instance.
Steps Done from our side :-
1. Created a self signed key store and certificate (.cer file) with server host name and used it for SSL enabling on weblogic server.
2. Created a self signed key store and certificate (.cer file) with client host name and used it for SSL enabling on oracle EBS client.
3. Imported client certificate .cer file in Server Side Trust Store.
4. Used Server keystore for client side verification.
We are getting these logs from Client Side (Oracle EBS AS) :-

AFP securely from Tiger client to Leopard X Server

I originally posted this just after New Years. I'm hoping now that more people are back from vacation that I can get an answer. Please help!
We recently upgraded our X Server to Leopard. We can't seem to determine how to transfer files securely over AFP from a Tiger client machine to the X Server. Has anyone figured out how to do this?

I suggest posting to the Server Products forums.

Remote-control of a Mac server from Windows

What is the Apple recommended way to logging into a Mac Server from a Windows PC so that I can manage it? I have an iMac on my desk but that's for creating/testing images. My main PC is an HP laptop running Windows 7. I've got Real VNC setup but the number of times it just stops working and I have to reconnect is not funny. Logging in is a chore, too. 1st password to control screen, then login to server, VNC gets kicked out during screen refresh, have to enter 1st password again to get back in.
Is there an official RDP program like Windows has for managing Windows servers?

Hi
+"What is the Apple recommended way to logging into a Mac Server from a Windows PC"+
AFAIK there isn't one? Why would there be? Putting the shoe on the other foot Microsoft offers RDC for mac to control PCs. I don't see anything on the site stating it's the 'recommended' way?
+"Is there an official RDP program like Windows has for managing Windows servers?"+
Yes. It's called Apple Remote Desktop. You can't install it on a PC. Since 10.5 VNC Server and Client are 'built-in' for Server and Client OS as you already know. The protocol is actually VNC. RDP is Microsoft's proprietary name for it.
I've never had problems controlling any mac (server or client) using TightVNC, RealVNC or UltraVNC - there are others you could use and experiment with? Depending on the Windows OS and network environment you may have to experiment with all three before settling on one that works consistently. Perhaps the problems you're having are due to a misconfiguration? On the mac side enable Remote Management - not Screen Sharing. Go into the VNC options and enable the "Control Screen with Password Setting". Create a password but don't make it the same as the Administrator one.
AFAIK the logging in behaviour you describe is normal in my experience. I've not found it a chore on either a platform.
HTH?

Calling a remote program on the server from the client

Hi, I'm new to Java/Jdeveloper/Oracle I'm writing a small app in
Jdeveloper 3.2 running on Windows that connects to an Oracle
8.1.6 on a Redhat Linux. I have a few programs writen in C that
run on the server, and would like to call them from the client
machine with a few parameters. is there a way of doing that?
it's just like calling "ls -la filename" from the remote
client. BTW, I don't need to get a response from the server, I
just need to initiate the call.
Thanks for any help.
John

JDeveloper is an IDE not a platform. what sort of app are you
writing: client server application, applet, JSP?

Cannot Remote into VM via Remote Desktop or connect to Server from Application

Good Day,
We are having a problem remoting into a VM or connecting to the server from a web application. Microsoft support says the server is in an unhealthy state and are battling to resolve the problem.
When I check the dashboard of the VM i see that Network In and Network Out are @ 0B.
Does anyone have an idea on what could cause this. Nothing was changed from our side before the issue occured
Regards,
Ralph

Hi Ralph,
Anything updates now?
Since the host name of the VM is lost in the Azure management portal, it may be due to the VM is not ready, yet. If you suspect it would be an issue on the NIC, you can resize the VM to check the result. (Note: the data on the D:(temporary driver)
would be lost)

After update client and server to Lion Unable to (re)connect to OD server from updated client (Lion)

Hi all,
I'm a bit in the dark here.
All day searching and reading.. but nothing much yet.
After updating the server and a client to OSX Lion, I'm unable to connect to the open directory of the updated server.
The previous config worked very nice for months.
Now it's a bit iritating, cause imho it seems nothing is in place and its a bit hard to find a solution or how to setup / correct the OD Lion server .
Of course i have downloaded the manuals, that state it's all so easy, and I have seen all the movies on the tubers and they also state its so easy.
Well, since I am feeling a big noob now and before my "self value" degrades 2 below 0 I'm asking 4 your help guys...
Can you give me the candle to find the way in the dark?
There are more things that don't work, but save that for later.. ;(
Situation is as follows:
Started to upgrade the Server 1st.
Then tested from the "old client" and all is working reasonably
Then upgraded to the new Lion client also,
and you guessed it right, no way in.
It's a pretty strait up config...
Hope someone can push me in the richt direction..
(hope it's not the push service from apple, arf arf, cause that's one of the other things that is not working yet)

Steps I took upto now:
What I did is go to the client and start the Directory Util, and then select the search config.
Add manually the info of the server.
Then If I type in the IP address, i got the green bulp. But it seems not to work.
When I enter the fqdn, I get the error 2100 could not connect to the ODserver (send by the com.apple.systempreferences)
Because it's an upgrade I deleted then the total contents of the previous settings that where initiated by the "old" setup send by the OD server prev. upgrade.
Then I deleted the kerberos files on the client, and all other things related. connecting to the OD server.
Then I deleted the Machine account on the OD server and back to the client.
Then I created the machine account again from the client manually by going in the OD util on the client.
(connected manually by adding the ip address and then clicking the lock on top of the menu and then after auth succeeded I could see all the rec's and other stuff ..which is a great new feature that you used to do by the
WGM. Now available by the ODutil. Nice.
Okay, after all these steps, I get the feeling it should be able to work, but still the 2100 error.
Somehow it "seems" that the DNS is not responding, but when I get in the terminal, it responds nicely to the pings.!!! And almost everything (not because of faulty DNS) is working.!
So now what?
Any help be appreciated.
(srry 4 typo's /Language. it's a bit late in Europe and not my main Language)

Can you use an application in hyper-v environment in Windows server from each client computer or that is not possible?

hi,
I like to know besides running 2 or more operating systems,like exchange or SQL ect .
what other benefits it has for example when you install 2-3 applications in t hyper_v environment can you use those applications from each client computer or that is not possible at all. ( I don't mean cloud )
thanks
johan
h.david

thanks,
so , now what is the benefit of hyper-v role on essential 2012r2 . it that means that I can install only one operating system on it only one instance and no more. also I can run some applications on this server just like you say with RDP licence
for each user to acces this virtual server!
and if I want more instances then I have to get datacenter.

Connecting to DirectAccess server from a client behind proxy with authentication

Hi,
All our DA clients are working fine except those that are working from a client company where a proxy with authentication is used.
Our DA server is running Windows server 2012 and clients are running Windows 7.
I have found similar posts, where it states it is a known issue and it is fixed by a new feature in Windows 2012, however i cannot find more info:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831416.aspx
IP-HTTPS runs in a system context rather than a user context. This context can cause connection issues. For example, if a DirectAccess
client computer is located in the network of a partner company that uses a proxy for Internet access, and WPAD auto detection is not used, the user must manually configure proxy settings in order to access the Internet. These settings are configured in Internet
Explorer on a per user basis, and cannot be retrieved in an intuitive way on behalf of IP-HTTPS. In addition, if the proxy requires authentication, the client provides credentials for Internet access, but IP-HTTPS will not provide the credentials required
to authenticate to DirectAccess. In Windows Server 2012, a new feature solves these issues. Specifically, the user can configure IP-HTTPS to work when behind a proxy that is not configured using WPAD and IP-HTTPS will request and provide the proxy credentials
needed to IP-HTTPS request authenticated, and relay it to the DirectAccess server.

Hello,
As far as I know it's a feature of Windows 2012 URA with a Windows 8 client.
Unfortunatelly you will have trouble with proxy authentication with Windows 7 client I think

Can Leopard Server update Tiger clients?

Can anyone tell me if Leopard server can update the OS of Tiger clients? I know Tiger server can't update Leopard clients, but the other way around?

Hi
Not true. I have a 10.4 OD Master with a managed group using the SUS Service on a 10.5 Server. The 10.5 Server is connected to the 10.4 Directory. DNS Services for both servers are on the 10.4 Server as is the DHCP Service. 10.4 and 10.5 Clients that bind to the 10.4 Server are updated using the 10.5 SUS with no problems at all. The only issue I've seen is 10.5 clients occasionally can't use the 10.5.2 Combo Update on the SUS Server. There is the 'cant expand package properly' error message. At first I thought this was because the latest Intel iMacs were able to update but not Leopard installed PPC models. One solution was to keep a manually downloaded .dmg of the 10.5.2 update on the Server and push it out using ARD or copying it locally and installing it that way. However earlier Intel models - occasionally - are also not updating - pre-dominantly first generation macbooks and macminis but every now and again some of the later Aluminium model iMacs.
This is an intermittent problem though and may be due to the small bandwidth that the SUS server is having to use to access apple's downloads server (1MB). When the SUS was on the 10.4 Server with a higher bandwidth connection (4-5MB) there was never any problems with the downloads but quite a few with the Service stopping itself and having to be restarted using the command line.
The amount downloaded for 10.5 SUS is greater (approx 13-16GB) than 10.4 SUS (approx 10-11GB) - obviously. It took 4-5 days for the 10.5 SUS to make available all the downloaded updates - obviously due to the 1MB connection but also there were problems with accessing the updates server at that time. I think this was because Leopard Server had not long been made available and like a lot others it was in a testing environment where all the services were being tried to see what was worked and what did not.

How do I remotely access my Snow Leopard server from my Mountain Lion MacBook Air

Does anyone know of an idiot's guide to setting up a VPN to access my server? I'm running Snow Leopard server in the office and I'd like to be able to access the server, probably just from one computer (MacBook Air runnung Mountain Lion) from home.
I'm not sure if it complicates things or not, but the office is in an area with poor broadband and so the internet connection is via satellite broadband. The set up is a satellite modem into a Gigabit router and the server is connected to the router via an unmanaged switch.
As an aside, I'm considering changing this set up so that the modem plugs into a Time Capsule and the server will connect directly into the TC. The desktops will then run into the server via the unmanaged switch or wirelessly via TC - any thoughts on the best set up here? Are cables into a switch better/worse than using TC's wireless facility.
Is this something that I, as a reasonably competent computer operator but definitely not an IT expert, could do, or should I get someone in to set it up for me?
Thanks in advance
Jim

VPNs aren't particularly special or weird or secret or such. They're "just" a network connection. A sometimes very fussy network connection, but a network connection.
My preference is to use a firewall that includes an embedded VPN server. This for several reasons, as it avoids trying to forward the VPN through a device that's using NAT [1], and it means you can connect to multiple devices on the target LAN, and you can connect even if the OS X Server box is down.
Other folks will forward the VPN through NAT, and use the VPN server that's available in various versions of OS X Server.
Forwarding a VPN through NAT does work, but can also sometimes not work. NAT can cause some types of VPNs to get tossed off when (for instance) there's a second VPN connection arriving.
In various cases everything connects and works the first time, and in other cases it's trial-and-error.
With a VPN-capable firewall (which is a step above your average residential firewall), usually configuring the firewall as a L2TP server or the Cisco protocol, if you want to use the standard OS X or iOS clients. Or PPTP — which is easier to get working — but less secure. Once the firewall and the VPN server is set up — and that's where most of the "fun" is — then the set-up in Network Preferences is (usually) pretty simple.
There are thousands of OS X VPN set-up articles around, but the details all hinge on the particular VPN server, and whether you're going to try to push the VPN through (for instance) that Tome Capsule and its NAT. Until you sort out your VPN target and/or VPN client, and what sort of attacks you're securing against...
As for this case, satellite latency is large. The latency involved is the time it takes to the command or the text from your local Mac to the satellite ~35,786 kilometers up and then ~35,786 kilometers back down, and then the response back again. That's about a quarter second, each way, at the speed of light. Transferring big files is fine (once the connection is open and the transfer gets rolling), but anything interactive — such as a typical use of a VPN — is going to have a noticable lag.
Yes, it'll be easiest to get somebody to work through your requirements and expectations, and initially set this up for you. Or you can use this as an opportunity to read about and learn more about IP routing and networking and VPNs, too.
[1] VPNs seek to ensure that the network connection is secure, and from a known client IP source address to the IP address of the target VPN server. NAT explicitly obscures the network connections, and often has multiple client hosts located behind one IP address. Put another way, the VPN and NAT software implementations are working at cross-purposes.

How to download the files, that are located in server, from the client?

Hello folks,
My program is like that, the files are located in the server and stored in file system.
I can only know the server name and the directory listing, so that I can show the file names from that directory on the browser.
The user might downloads those files from the browser and he might deletes those files through the browser.
That user has valid right to do so and the files can be any type of extension.
So how can I write this kind of program? Currently the whole system is in struts, so how can I make compatible with struts technology?
Do u have any ideas?
Regards,
Phyo

Thank you, grigpm. But actually I want the user to select the file that he wants to download rather than setting it in the configuration file. If it is possible, let me see the sample code of FileManager servlet. I've tried with some ways but I can only download from the same server with the application server. I want to download from different server. I hope someone can help me with sample code....
Best regards,
Phyo

Upgrade from Tiger (client) to Leopard Server

Hi all,
I have a client with an existing dual G5 box they have running Tiger. They use it as a file share primarily but want the extra functionality of the server OS (viz Leopard server). Is there an upgrade path from OS 10.4 client to 10.5 server or is it a backup/format/restore process for the data? Thanks in advance for any replies.
Cheers
Si

Well, I can offer my opinion on best practice, other opinions may vary.
In the past, you have been able to upgrade client versions to server. I believe this creates a new System folder. In any event, the client OS and the server OS are not the same thing with different features, There are some functional differences. So if you plan to use the Mac as a client and a server, I'd really recommend against that. I'd also recommend erasing the HD and installing the Server OS on a clean HD.
