Networked user accounts, mail passwords not saving or notes?

Hi there,
I have a mac mini set up as a server with latest software. On it i have 20 networked users which use between them for different mac mini's.
Problem which i have come across and i haven't found a solution yet. When i created them emails on there user accounts the incoming mail password won't save? On occasion i has saved, but once log out of the user and log back in the password has gone. which then it prompts me to keep typing the password in and won't save the password. This is very frustrating!!
I have also just noticed when i put message in notes and then log out and log in the the message has gone. This got me thinking it could be something with the user account not saving any data that put in? I don't really want to reformat the server if i don't have to.
If anyone has solution to this problem, it would really handy to know?

I click the Note button, nothing happens. The feature is completely out of service. I don't understand. Am I missing something obvious? I have tried the keystrokes too, no reaction at all, no errors, just can't use Notes, at all! rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Please help.
Update: I opened Console to see if I could find any errors immediate after trying to create a note and this is what I found:

Lost Mail on Network User Accounts

This problem has happened several times and I am pretty sure it relates to using Network User accounts. We're running Tiger server and all user accounts are stored on the server. We are using POP mail that is hosted externally.
A user logs in to his account. There are unread messages and the user starts to read them and reply to email. An hour or two goes by and when the user tries to read an unread email, the email disappears in the list when clicked, along with all the emails that had been received or sent since the last time he had logged into his user account.
There is no trace of the lost mail in the library on the server. If this isn't weird enough, the incoming mail on the ISP host account when accessed by webmail, is either gone or when you try to read it disappears when clicked along with all mail back to the same time that is missing on the user account stored on the server.
This has happened on different users and from different workstations. The only constant appears to be that these accounts are stored in network user accounts.
We are planning to bring mail in-house and switch to IMAP. But would like to know if anyone else has ever seen this.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bob

Having the same problem here. I think its to do with the network home having a different database file from the local home and when the background sync happens the local home database is being replaced by the network home.
There is nowhere to set that during a background sync the local home should always be considered the newest and be pushed to the network. Sounds like it should be logical, but it doesn't seem to work like that.
I have users complaining that there machines are ok when they start, they have mail arrive during the day and then disappear and their mail box reverts back to the state it was when they logged in.
There is also the problem that when they move they don't always get the latest version of their mail box.

Have a company based itunes account, trying to share itunes on bank owned devices. can't get all devices to keep our shared password on them without requesting user to enter password (which i am not giving them)

i am an IT manager for a bank. we have several company owned iphones. WE have also implemented a mobile device management system to manage our iphones.
We setup acompany based itunes account, trying to share itunes on bank owned devices. This way i can add bank approved apps to the devices through our itunes account and push out to the iphones, and no one can download any other non bank approved apps.
it has been working ok. but recently i had one user who came in. He went to enter in his itunes account on the phone and didn't work. So then came back and my staff and myself have (as much as we can see) removed his email account itunes login from all sections in settings. and entered in our itunes account information, but when you go to the app store, and hit upgrade, it still shows his email account for itunes. I feel like i can't get all devices to keep our shared password on them without requesting user to enter password (which i am not giving them)
How can i troubleshoot his device. i tried changing password 5 times today, rebooted device, and no change.

i have an MDM application, and i push out the apps i want them to have with our IT apple id account. for some reason when two approved apps needed updating last week, they prompted him for our password. (which i told him to bring phone in and i would enter password).
but somehow he went to try to enter his personal to make it work (don't know why)
somewhere it's keeping his personal email. i went into itunes/apps and our apple id is in there.
there is nothing in icloud b/c we do not allow icloud, so that's clear.

Can not make network user accounts

After upgrading from 10.6.8 Server to 10.8 and installing server tools, I can not make network user accounts. All of my old network user accounts migrated to the new OS and work properly, I just can not seem to make new accounts under 10.8.
Under 10.6.8 I would log into Workgroup Manager as diradmin and I could pretty easily make new users.
Under 10.8.2 I launch the server app and click on "users". The addition (+) symbol in greed out for making new users. I can make local users via System Preferences, but I can not see any way to change local users to network users via either System Preferences or the Server app.
I have logged into the server app using a local administrator account, the diradmin account, and the root account. None of the accounts allow access to create new network users (addition symbol is greed out).
Is there a trick to making network users in 10.8 that I am missing?
(as an aside, I have noticed I can log into Directory Utility as diradmin and can view the node with all my network accounts. It seems like I might be able to manually create a user account this way, but I'm not quite sure how to make the user record)

Open Directory service is started and functional for all the pre-existing network user accounts that were made under 10.6.8 and earlier. I just can not seem to create new netowork user accounts.
I followed the steps on this page and managed to make a user record that appeared as a network user in the Server app, but I still can not seem to log in under the user I made in this fashion (dscl command via terminal).

Need help with network user accounts on Mac server App on Yosemite, any tips?

I've been trying to set up a small network with the Server app on Yosemite. I don't want to do anything crazy with the server, I'd just like to know how I can set up network user accounts so that they can login from other Mac computers on the same network. I already have Open directory set up, the Macs that will be used on the network with the server have already been joined to the server under login options. I have created the network user account, I have also joined the user account to a group that I created. When I try to login to the network account from one of the Macs, it doesn't work. I'm pretty rookie with Mac server, can anyway give me any pointers of what I should be doing? Or if I am doing something wrong. Thanks guys.

The most important step, once you've got Open Directory and DNS set up, with Local Network Users set up in Server.app, is to make sure that all client Macs are using the server's IP address as the primary DNS server in System Preferences > Network, and that they have joined the Network server in System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Options.
Having said all that, I have just spent hours setting this all up only to find out that Mail doesn't currently work with Network Homes in 10.10.3 / Server.app 4.1.
I will be hoping that Apple recognise the bug, and put out a fix soon.

Why can't I delete a user name and password from saved passwords in iOS 7?

Why can't I delete a user name and password from saved passwords in iOS 7? I found them and they are not anything that I am familiar with? They are from a t-com.de. I have been to Germany in the last month. Not sure if there is any association. Any thoughts?

You found them ... where? Are they in Safari somewhere?
If so, do Settings > Safari > Clear History and Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies and Data
If that doesn't clear them (and they are from Safari), try Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data and clear that area.

Making user account logins/passwords case sensitive?

Hi, just a quick question. Is it possible to make user account login/passwords be case sensitive? At the moment they are case insensitive.
Thanks :)

You can make only user account login case sensitive but not password.

User created.
SQL> grant create session to "Test";
Grant succeeded.

Network User Accounts

Hello,
I have a little (or big ;)) Problem with the Network User Accounts on Leopard Server.
I created the Networkshare for the Networkhome Directories und selected them in the Workgroupmanager, also I connected the mac Clients via the Directory Util to the Server.
But no Networked Home User can login from the Clients (the Client says at the Login Window "Network Accounts aviable".

You can use a static LDAP mapping on the client computer here to accomplish this.
Using Directory Utility, you want to edit your LDAP plugin settings for your OpenDirectory server. (Directory Utility -> Show Advanced Settings -> Services -> LDAPv3 -> Edit your Config -> Search & Mappings)
Expand users, and go to NFSHomeDirectory. Here you can enter in:
#/Users/$RealName$
This will create a local home directory in users with the directory name called whatever value is in RealName.

Setting up a Network User Account

Is there a way to set up a Network User Account so I can access this from any Mac That I am using? I have three Mac's but I want only 1 Account for all of them. I have a networked Drive that I want to put my User Account onto so I can access this one and set all of my Mac's to automatically choose this account.

You would need OS X Server for that.

Excise invoice is not saving and not showing datas

in erxcise invoice i ve made settings as per the sap best practices then also the excise invoice is not saved and not generated also
please help me to solve the problem
the error is coming like this
Error in allocating Excise invoice number Interval not found Number object J_1IEXCLOC
Message no. 8I336
i ve already maintainthe number range for this object in tool in tax in goods moment
please give some better advice for the excise invoice setting.

Sub Transaction type determines the subcontracting attributes and determines the accounts for the posting while doing a sub contracting transaction.
Sub transaction type is also used for determining the accounts while
doing excise removals.
Within CIN the account determination is based on the transaction type.
So normally you can have a single set of accounts for Excise
utilization. In case you need alternate account determination for
handling various scenarios you can define sub transaction types. The
sub transaction types and corresponding account assignments needs to be
maintained in CIN customization
To make customization of Sub Transaction type, goto
<b>SPRO --> Logistics General --> Tax on Goods Movements --> India --> Account Determination and check whether you have assigned second and third one, viz. "Specify Excise Accounts per Excise Transaction and Specify GL Accounts per Excise Transaction".</b>
Check
<b>Taxes on goods mvnt--indiaaccnt determination---specify excise accnts for excise transaction...maintain the sub transction type , ip or 01,
against the appropriate ETT</b>

Indesign CC files not saving but not giving an error message
I have all my restaurant menus in Indesign cc and when emailing them to myself, after changing them to print them from a different computer I experience that the files are not the most updated version.
Can anybody suggest a solution?
Thanks

Ask in the ID forum and provide at least some useful info like system specs, what's contained in the files, where they are stored...

Where is the MailAccounts.plist stored for a network user account using Apple Mail on Snow Lion?

Where is the MailAccounts.plist file stored for a network user using Apple Mail on Snow Leopard? It appears one of my users has managed to do something to their mail account as Apple Mail will no longer close once opened and the Sent Folder has a perpetual spinning pinwheel.

They would have to be logged in as separate users in order not to see your account in Mail. Whatever accounts put in Mail under your account will show up. All mail accounts usually have there own user and password. The only thing you can do is to remove the password from Keychain and take the account offline so you don't keep getting prompts for passwords each time it checks for mail.
Not a great solution.
Best way is to give the other user their own user account with their own mail and enable fast user swithcing to log between the different users if all access the computer frequently.

Mail not showing up in secondary user account mail app

After buying a new macbook pro, I migrated my data from my Air to this new machine (after setting up my new system) and the Pro created a new user account to handle this. The problem is, the migrated user and its data are what I want the primary account to be. Everything works as normal as though it is, with the annoying exception of my mail app. The first account set up with this new machine is the only one that receives any of my emails to the mail app.
A few things to note:
I have verified that the migrated account (ie. the account I WANT as the primary user account for access to my emails via the mail app) has all the same email user settings as the other user account on the machine (the one I don't use as my primary).
Also, I have pretty decent knowledge of what I'm doing and am beating my head against the wall trying to figure out the problem.
Thinking of deleting the user account that was created when I first purchased this macbook Pro, but unsure if that will allow the account I want to use to be able to magically access my new emails coming in. For now, if I want to read any of my new incoming emails, I have to log off my primary user account and log into the other one I don't use. VERY annoying. Any help? Thanks

If you want to see Macintosh HD on the Desktop and you don't see it, that's because you have to turn on this feature. Open the Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and mark "Hard disks".
Another way of seeing it is through Finder's sidebar. Open a Finder window, and Macintosh HD will appear on the Finder sidebar, under "Devices". If you don't see it there, open the Finder menu > Preferences > Sidebar, and mark "Hard disks"

Copy local user settings to network user account

I have a local user on my computer here, and I want to transfer all settings to a network account - things such as dock icons, mouse settings, everything so when I log on to the network account everything looks and acts the same. Can I do this. or do I need to start from scratch?

Hi Brent,
The following has worked for me.
1. Login to local machine as a local admin
2. Delete user's account BUT choose the option to create a dmg of the user data.
3. After completion, move the dmg to Users/Shared
4. Log out
5. Log in as your target OD network user (having created the server account, bound the client, etc)
7. Open the dmg from /Users/Shared and copy the items from within each of Documents, Library, etc. Do NOT just copy Documents. Library, etc.... make sure you copy the contents
Everything should be in place at the next login. Have the user change password via System Prefs > Accounts asap and this will fix any keychain issues.

OD network user accounts with radius secured wireless

ok.
i'd like to use radius security on my wireless network.
i also have 300+ OD users, who log on using both wired desktops and wireless laptops.
however, once radius is up and running, i no longer can access the "other..." user login option on the laptops, as the laptops can't conenct to the network to get the OD user info.
how to i work around this? do i add the OD bound laptops themselves to the allowed users?

Well, folks, it turns out that the network user list is in fact displayed, but there's a slight catch that had me fooled. I've got a single local account set up. This local admin account is selected by default and displays the password field. When I hit ESC to clear it, that local account only is displayed for about 15-20 seconds. This fairly long delay made me think it would never happen... whoops. AFTER about 15-20 seconds, the full login list is displayed. Unless you clear that pwd prompt by hitting ESC or clicking Back, the list is never displayed.
Now that I've created a second local user account for other reasons, the pwd prompt does NOT automatically appear, and the network user list is displayed after 15-20 seconds, despite WPA.
Problem solved. Now we'll just see if 26 users can log in simultaneously over wireless... I won't hold my breath for too long!
Thanks for your time.
