"My Page" login problem, open directory issue I think

I'm able to log into the My Page web portal for a local server account user, but not any of the user's in the Open Directory (LDAP) node. Anyone know what might be causing that? Thanks in advance.

Is there a specific group that gets access to the web portal tools (wiki, blog, etc) that the users in the network node need to be in?

Can't login to open directory accounts unless using server machine

I cannot login to any network accounts from my macbook on my local network i have tried bindind the machine to the open directory with local ip, local address and domain and all appear to be working but i cant login to any of the accounts although the passwords are correct.

Hi Salda,
I'm currently experiencing a similar problem to yours.
My situation is that I have just created a new user account which is part of our media users group.
This group is in the list of allowed users for our mac pro client host, but when I attempt to login using their credentials I get the same error you had, namely that their home directory is located on a afp or smb server (which is of course the case).
I hope you can tell me a resolution that doesn't require a re-installation of the OS.
Thanks for your help.

Beige G3 boot from **** problem; open firmware issues; bad motherboard?

Dear all,
I'm having huge boot/startup problems with my beige G3 that had been happily running OSX 10.3.9, but for purposes of this discussion we can (mostly) revert to OS 9. Originally, the machine was a G3 @300; was upgraded more than a year ago to a ZIF G4 @500.
To make a long story short, it won't boot from any hard drives, will not boot from any OS X CD, and will only occasionally boot from a 9.x startup CD (whether Apple or Norton Utilities). I think it's an open firmware issue, possibly caused by a bad motherboard (rev. 2).
All this started happening after I used techtool pro, but I think that's coincidence (even though I acknowledge that, for cops and computer users, there are no coincidences.) Also, as discussed below, I'm having the same problems with an HD that wasn't even in the computer when all these things began.
Here are some of the things I've done.
--repeatedly reset PRAM, both with key combinations and removing battery. The only time it will boot from a 9.x CD is after resetting PRAM.
--removed all add-on PCI cards.
--removed additional VRAM
--removed all memory cards and tried replacing one at a time.
--disconnected both existing hard drives and replaced with an older OS 9.x hard drive (approx 60 mb) that I'd used before. Also tried different ribbon cables.
--unplugged floppy drive
--disconnected PCI ATA disk controller that I'd been using for running a large (1.8 gb) hard drive.
--regarding open firmware: readenv usually shows totally normal default AND installed settings. Using reset-all works fine -- at least it makes the machine reboot, but doesn't solve the problem. reset-nvram does NOT work -- says it's an "unknown word."
--using startup keys like holding down the option key, or shift key, or X key or cmd-option plus two others I can't remember, has no effect. Again, after I've tried any kind of reboot, the ONLY way to get the C-key at startup to boot the CD is by resetting the pram (key combination). Otherwise, the usual result of these experiments is a dark screen on startup -- nothing at all (and the LCD monitor tells me "no input.")
--regarding OSX: sometimes (and I emphasize sometimes) I can get the machine to start booting from an OSX 10.2 CD, but it won't complete the process. Sometimes I get a "prohibited" (as in no-parking, no-smoking) icon; sometimes it will start booting (grey screen, OS X Apple icon), then crash (horizontal grey and white jagged bars); sometimes it will show the OS 9 start icon (the tiny smiling Mac SE), but not boot at all.
--when I get the mac successfully booted with an OS 9.x CD (again, this works sometimes, but not always), the old hard drive with two partitions does show on the desktop and can be accessed. Using either disk repair or Norton Utilities shows the 9.2 system partition on the hard drive to be fine. But if I go to the startup disk control panel, confidently set the 9.2 partition as my startup disk, then reboot, there's no change. It won't boot and I'm back at square one.
--even when I do get successfully booted with 9.x, the machine will still occasionally crash for no reason -- ie when I'm moving a Window.
--the only thing I haven't done is slowed down the processor. It's a ZIF G4 bought more than a year ago from XLR8 your Mac. I'm running at the default 500 mhz, and it's never given me any trouble.
So I think it's a bad motherboard or ROM. Thoughts?
Thanks.

The beige Mac is now operating happily again. My original tentative diagnosis remains the same (although still tentative): corrupted PRAM from bad battery, compounded by bad cables that wrote corrupted data to hard drives, and also (possibly) allowing Tech Tool Pro (a utility that I now regard with deep suspicion) to create a "virtual" startup partition.
A few things I've learned along the way that hopefully may be useful:
--remember that the Ex Post Facto utility can be used to help OS X startup, not just installation. This applies to hard drives, emergency CDs, installation CDs, etc. If you can boot into any working hard drive partition (OS 9 or a backup OS 10), then run Ex Post Facto (same program runs on either OS 9 or X -- don't ask me how) and tell it what system you want to start up from. Also, the utility has sometimes told me that the startup extensions on the disc that I wanted to boot up from were bad, and offered to fix them (which works).
--at least on my Mac (beige, v. 2 motherboard), resetting the CUDA button, resetting the PRAM, resetting Open Firmware and "draining" the memory by unplugging the computer and disconnecting the battery for several hours ALL DO DIFFERENT THINGS.
Specifically, if I'm having trouble booting (from a hard drive or a CD), the FIRST thing I do is restart and resetting the PRAM on the fly -- holding down command, option, P and R at startup, and waiting for the chimes (preferably at least 3-4 times).
If I do that and DON'T hear the chimes, that's my cue for my SECOND action -- restarting into open firmware (command, option O and F keys on startup). That should bring up the black text on white background open firmware screen. View other posts or apple support for details, but if you do PRINTENV and see a bunch of weird gibberish after the default/installed lists, you know that it was messed up and you need to clear it through reset nvram and reset all commands. Be aware some of these commands do or do not work depending upon what version of Open Firmware you have.
After I've rebooted with Open Firmware, then on restart I should be able to reset the PRAM on the fly. If that works, then either let the machine run and see what happens, or hold down the C command and see if it will boot from the CD
Usually, if I've fixed everything as above, the machine will boot into whatever version of OS 9 it finds on a hard drive. That's fine with me -- at that point, use Ex Post Facto to reboot into your OS X. (Before I forget: I used the shareware startup CD creator program BootCD to make an emergency boot CD based on OS 10.2.8 (which theoretically will support a beige mac in native fashion) and Disk Warrior, the god of disk repair utilities. Even though the CD should boot just by holding down the C key on startup, it doesn't -- but if I use Ex Post Facto to boot it, no problems (although the process is very slow -- be patient). Then I can fix almost anything using Disk Warrior.)
If none of the above works, then I'll try resetting the CUDA (on my beige minitower, it's a very small black button inconveniently located between a PCI slot and the side of the computer housing). Hold it down for 15 seconds. That should REALLY clear the PRAM. I know this does something different from the previous steps because this is the only action (except the battery disconnect -- next) that clears the date and time from the memory.
If all else fails, I will unplug the computer and disconnect the battery, then push the CUDA button for 15 seconds and let the machine sit overnight.
One final finding -- I thought I'd fixed everything, but both my hard drives suddenly quit working, I discovered that during all this repeated connect/disconnect of things, one of the male pins inside one of the connectors on my Acard ATA PCI card had broken off. Not good. Fortunately, the card had a second connector, which works fine. And I did some extensive shaking of the computer to make sure (I hope) that the broken pin hadn't landed on a circuit board.
All this took more than two weeks, and the advice of this board was much appreciated. Now I'm on to my next adventure -- trying to figure out why a combo Firewire/USB PCI card won't mount an external drive on Firewire, but will on USB. I've tried two cards with same result -- but a Firewire-only card works just fine.)

MAJOR Open Directory issue: Can't assign Users and Groups that DO exist!

Just noticed the following today:
When doing Get Info -> Permsissions on files/folders located on my File Server share, Owner and Group show as (unknown).
When I go into WGM -> Sharing, and look at files/folders on File Server share this way, the Owner and Group fields are blank.
When I attempt to (re)assign an Owner or Group by dragging them from Users and Groups section of WGM, error tells me User or Group no longer exists. These Users and Groups clearly do exist in WGM -> Accounts.
When I look at files on File Server share via CLI, instead of actual names for Users and Groups, I see their uid and gid's. Chowning via CLI fails as well.
I've noticed all Users and Groups with this issue are OD.
Server is xServe G4 DP 1.0 GNz/1 GB RAM/Mac OS X Server 10.4.7 Unlimited. This servers been running fine as an OD Master for months now. ACL's are enabled on this File Server share point. I've always had weird permissions issues, but NEVER the inability to assign OD Users and Groups to files/folders.
I'm at a loss here, not to mention my wits end.
Did my OD become corrupted?
Any and all help would greatly appreciated.
PowerMac G4 733 MHz Mac OS X (10.4.6) 512 MB RAM

When doing Get Info -> Permsissions on files/folders located on my File Server share, Owner and Group show as (unknown).
This means that the Finder can't find a match in the accounts/groups database for the numeric UID assigned to those files. Either the records associated to those accounts have been deleted, or the database is corrupt. In either case, you should restore a copy of it from backup.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for you reply Linc. Unfortunately I tried this already and it did not fix my issue. I checked the Open directory startup log and found a possible issue with the domain name in the startup file and the signing certificate. The domain name has a $ and it can find the signing certifiate with a public key. Please take a look below and let me know what you think?

Hi
It's easy enough to 'connect' any version of OS X Server to any other version of OS X Server. Use the Join button in the Users & Groups Preferences Pane. Alternatively use the Directory Utility itself.
You seem to be misunderstanding what an Open Directory Master and Replica are? They are not what I think you think they are. They are not a 'back-up' of each other if you're providing more than the shared Directory Service.
An OD Replica maintains a read-only copy of the LDAP Database (Usernames, Passwords and Policies etc) that's stored on the OD Master and nothing more. If the Master was to go offline for any reason the Replica can be quickly promoted to a Master Role and continue to provide information for the shared directory. This assumes it has easy and quick access to the Volume storing networked home folders? The LDAP Database in that case would then become writable. Later on and whenever you've fixed the problem with the old Master it can quickly be demoted and made a Replica of the now new Master.
Although this is for 10.6 Server (it is nevertheless still applicable) everything you need to know about Master and Replica relationships is here:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/OpenDirAdmin_v10.6.pdf
Page 55 onwards.
From Page 64:
"The Open Directory master and its replicas must use the same version of Mac OS X Server. . ."
If your OD Master is also providing Mail, Calendar and Contact Services then none of these will be replicated. You will have to maintain a backup of these databases yourself using whatever method you deem fit for your needs.

New Open Directory System - Losing Licensing Information

I have a handful of Macs that I'm converting from a group of stand-alone computers to a X Server-administered open directory cluster such that each user's information is stored on the server.
One thing I'm noticing is that previously licensed software components like Microsoft Office are starting to lose this information when a user logins via open directory (comes up with trial prompt), as opposed to any of the local accounts in which the license is retained. Is there a simple fix to this in my configuration?

Hi
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/OpenDirAdminv10.6.pdf
Chapter 4 onwards. Page 60 initially explains what can be done. TBH I doubt if you'll find anything detailed? Each environment will be specific to that site and its needs. Ultimately you will benefit if you get someone in (a suitably qualified consultant) to do this for you. Here's a list of UK based Professionals:

Open directory administrator's password to manage

hi.
i have a mac os x server 10.4 with Open Directory.
Now I want to add some new users and some new Computer to my domain. When I login into Open Directory I enable to see the tree of my ldap domain but I unable to add new user or computer.
Why this problem? I see the user that there are. I have just try to login and unlock the Open directory with some other user, but i can't solve. I can't see enable the bottom for "add user" and the "add computer".
can you help me?
thanks

Hi
have a mac os x server 10.4 with Open Directory
You should really post this in the relevant Forum as this is for 10.5 Server:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=713
Having said that I have to ask the obvious. If you want to add/delete/amend - amongst other things - users to the /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 node you have to click the lock on the right hand side and authenticate using the Directory Administrator (diradmin) account name and password. Once you've done that you should be able to work within that node.

Help with mail users and setup 10.6 mail server bound to 10.8 Open Directory

We have a 10.7 Open Directory server which was upgraded from 10.6. We have had some Open Directory issues since the upgrade. I am manually creating a 10.8 server as a replacement for the 10.7 server. All settings for services are running as expected and we are ready to turn over to the new server except for a problem with the ability to receive email.
Setup in both the original and the replacement has the OD server with DNS running with a correct MX record pointing to our 10.6 mail server.
In the replacement OD server the mail users were created as network users, with no userhome, with access to the mail service, and email addresses given.
The mail server was unbound from the original OD server, bound to the replacement OD server without SSL exactly as with the original, and restarted.
Initially the mail service said that mail clients had the wrong name or password. Opened WGM 10.6 on the MAIL server and checked the OD records. They showed the mail users not having the checkbox saying they were set up to receive mail selected. Selected the checkbox to receive mail.
Now the mail client seems to connect to the server correctly but does not show the emails in the system for the users. It is as though there is no email and the account is brand new.
Unbind the mail server from the replacement OD server, rebind it to the original OD server, and restart.
Mail clients connect and receive the mail in the accounts as expected.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I figured out what the mail server is doing. It has created new email stores for each of the new users. If we bind to the original OD it uses the original set of email stores. If we bind to the replacement OD it uses the new set of email stores.
I have tried to make sure that the userIDs match in each OD but that did not help.
The server is working for each OD. Does anyone know if I can tell the 10.6 mail server to use the old emails in the mailstore for the new user in the new OD?
If nothing else I can solve the problem by archiving the emails and copying them into the new user when running the new OD.

Strange login problem with Open Directory

Hi,
I created a web tool that calls dscl to create users in Open Directory from a bound web server.
Most of the accounts work fine. A couple do not. The particular account in question could login to machines in one computer group, but not on others, using the login window. But it could login on the command-line via su.
Now here's the kicker. I deleted the user completely and re-created the user account with the same login name, and assigned it to the same groups as other new accounts that work fine. The problem persists.
The only thing I've found that indicates a problem is the following from the ldap log:
Sep 17 10:36:14 poseidon slapd[61]: Entry (uid=<username changed>,cn=users,dc=<redacted>,dc=<redacted>,dc=<redacted>): object class 'posixAccount' requires attribute 'homeDirectory'
(note the redactions and username were put in by me...paranoia etc)
I used 'Inspector' in Workgroup Manager and verified that the account does in fact have the required homeDirectory attribute, and the account is not unlike other accounts that work fine, save the username and unique ID.
I hope this provides enough info for someone to give some guidance...this is certainly a strange problem.
Thanks ahead of time!

Hotspot login cannot open the page because it could not establish a secure connection to the server.

I am trying to connect to a public wifi network. My iPad connects marvoulesly. My iPhone not so much. I have an iPhone 4 and everytime I go to connect, it goes to a pop up page where I'm supposed to click a link to adhere to their TOS. When I get the pop up page I get "Hotspot login cannot open the page because it could not establish a secure connection to the server"
I've reset the network settings and nothing changed. Same error message. Any tips or tricks to fix this? I'm laid up on bed rest in the hospital and would really rather that I not use all my data minutes...
Thanks!

Updated to iOS6 on an iPhone 4 this morning, and now when I attempt to connect to my work wireless, it connects for a moment then attempts to popup some login page (I sometimes get the hotspot login error you've mentioned) and because the page doesn't exist I can't get connected to the wireless netowrk.
What the heck have apple broken in this update?
Why when joining a normal wireless network is my phone even going near a Login page? What is this and how do I disable it?
Oh, and I'm posting here because your suggestions of disabling the Wi-Fi and Cellular data netowkrs doesn't solve the problem.
[Edit: seems while typing this leaving the cellular data disabled, it's now letting my join wireless - seems to be some timeout on it fixing the issue - I'd still like to know what this login page is it's attempting to locate is for.]

Hotspot login cannot open the page because the network connection was lost. Why?

Everyttime I try to connect to the wifi, all I get is about a second of the phone saying it is connected, before I get a login page, with the web adress of "captive.apple.com".
The login page is black, and after about a second I get the message,
"Error Opening Page: Hotspot login cannot open the page because the network connection was lost"
I've tried restarting the phone, resetting the network data, everytihng I can think of but no luck.
How can I fix this?

Good day everybody. I had the same issue and I got crazy but keep up work on it about 1 week to have the resolution.
Here is the simple steps to overcome this problem:
1. Choose your Wifi and get connected
2. On Wifi page at the bottom Turn On 'Ask to Join Networks'
3. Connect to your Wifi,
4. After connecting, you will see a blue next to your selected Wifi
5. Press the blue and get into the connection detail of your wifi
6. Turn on Auto-Join
7. Turn Off Auto-Login
8. Close settings
9. Go to Safari log with Hotel, Business wifi page
Trick is the Auto-Login must be turned off

I am having problems opening pages in safari. the rotating wheel at the right end of the address window doesn't stop even after the page has filled up. then if i try to open other pages it gets stuck and won't open them.

I started having problems opening pages today. When first open a page it seems to download the page OK, but the rotating wheel on the right-hand end of the address field keeps rotating after the page is completely filled up. Then if I try to open other pages it becomes slower and eventually stops filling-in the pages, while the rotating wheel keeps rotating.
I wonder whether junk is being downloaded into my mac, or what is going on. Help will be geatly appreciated.

When was the last time you emptied the Safari cache?
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
If that didn't make a difference, go back to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes then click Reset.
And how much free space on the startup disk?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space. Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
If emptying cache or resetting didn't help and there's enough free space on the startup disk, login to another user account, launch Safari. Same problems there indicates a system wide problem. Log back into your admin account so you can check the startup disk.
Launch Disk Utility. /Applications/Utilities
Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
I wonder whether junk is being downloaded into my mac
Nothing should "download" to your Mac unless you initiate the download yourself. You can check the Downloads folder from the Safari > Window menu or your Downloads folder in the Finder.

DNS Server Having Intermittent Issues with Open Directory

I work for a school and we're undertaking the large task of moving from Xserves running 10.6.8 to Mac Minis running 10.9. I have a lot of experience with OS X Server (I held ACSA up until they ditched it, and ACTC through the current OS) but I've hit a fairly large snag in configuring our DNS server. We currently run DNS via an AD server that is being retired at the end of the summer, so this is the first time our DNS will be Mac-based. That said, our network is ridiculously simple as we are a very small school. For the most part it's a flat network using the same IP range for our wired and wireless internal clients (we do have a vlan for guests but that's through Aerohive). I configured the DNS by hand, recreating the entries in our AD server (there were only about a dozen) and then adding in things that should have been there in the first place (e.g. printers and some other devices with static IPs that I'd like FQDNs for). Everything seemed to be working fine...until trying to log into Open Directory accounts.
For some background, the DNS server running 10.9 was the first server we upgraded and it was a completely clean install. We run DHCP on another Mac Server currently running 10.6.8 and it does have the proper OD server listed. All DNS entries for the OD server match our current DNS server. The issue is that it's taking some users 5-6 tries to log in with their network accounts. The errors they receive range from the login window shaking to it stating the user cannot log in at this time. This seems to be worse on client machines running 10.9. but it's appearing on machines running 10.6.8-10.9.3.
In my troubleshooting, I found that if I log in as a local user to one of those machines and do a dig for the OD server the results vary, this is where it gets weird. For example, if I dig ourodserver.ourdomain.org it will sometimes return host not found or it will sometimes resolve. If I ping the same thing it will sometimes work (even after stating it cannot resolve the host) and it will sometimes fail. If I then try a dig for the .local (e.g. ourodserver.local) it also yields the same varied results. However, on every machine that I've tested if I then open a Finder window and navigate to the server via the "Shared" menu and connect I have no trouble connecting and then magically my digs and pings in terminal work. If I revert DNS back to point to our old Windows server the issue goes away. I have meticulously combed through that server many many times now and am not seeing any missed entries. Any idea what could be causing this?

You must have a working DNS service, and the server's hostname must match its fully-qualified domain name. To confirm, select the server by name in the sidebar of the Server application window, then select the Overview tab. Click the Edit button on the Host Name line. On the Accessing your Server sheet, Domain Name should be selected. Change the Host Name, if necessary. The server must have at least a three-level name (e.g. "server.yourdomain.com"), and the name must not be in the ".local" top-level domain, which is reserved for Bonjour.
The primary DNS server used by the server must be 127.0.0.1 (that is, itself) unless you're using another server for internal DNS. The only DNS server set on the clients should be the internal one, which they should get from DHCP if applicable.

Open Directory won't start after crash no logins

Server was crashed due to work in the room. OD will not start. I've tried every fix I can find, but the main problem is that this command will not work:
sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.openldap.slapd.plist
I also have time machine backups but which files should I replace? Thanks

Hi,
First thing to check is that DNS is set up correctly.
in Terminal, type:
$ sudo changeip -checkhostname
This should return your server IP address, current hostname and DNS hostname; the hostnames should be the same.
Finally it should issue a message that says:
The names match. There is nothing to change.
dirserv:success = “success”
if there is a mismatch here, you will need to fix in the Network tab of the Server app, and the DNS settings.
It could also be a problem with a remnant of a previous OD setup although you say that you are attempting to set it up, so not sure why there would be a remnant.
You can "clean out" the old LDAP info by issuing this command but it will wipe out your Open Directory databases on the machine you issue it on; you have been warned....
Doing this will then let Server app prompt you in the OD settings to 1. set up OD or 2. restore from an archive.
The command is:
$ sudo slapconfig -destroyldapserver
Finally , if you are having problems, turn on logging:
$ sudo slapconfig -enableslapdlog
this writes OD logs to /var/log/slapd.log
Hope that helps. I had that exact issue on a server that was hosting a replica and that stopped working after update of server.app .

"My Page" login problem, open directory issue I think
