NIS client issues with 10.4.x

Please, will some Apple tech please respond!
I have used NIS client on OS X for quite a while now, and recently bought more than 50 new iMacs for our school user environment. I rely on NIS to work, and it has in previous version of your OS. (Please don't tell me not to run NIS. I do not have time to set up OD right now, and too much of my network already relies on NIS.)
The current x86 10.4 release uses a non-linear startup process that causes certain network services not to come up in the right order, and thus rendering a system inoperable. This doesn't exhibit itself consistently, but once a system is on and operable, the problem will not occur, unless the system deep sleeps or is rebooted.
Help? Can I provide you with anything? Just ask. I will do the best I can. I want to continue loving Apple hardware...

Nevermind - its working now.
If anybody is having similiar problems, here's a few things to check
1. Make sure the NIS server is correctly entered in /etc/hosts.
2. cp /etc/nsswitch.nis to /etc/nsswitch.conf
3. Run a ypinit -c and specify your NIS server.
Thanks.

Build 711 client issues with XGL?

Are there any known issues with installing the latest build of the 1.2
beta client (711) on the released version of SLED if XGL is enabled?
After installing the client and restarting, I got a message that my
display couldn't initialize (or something like that, it's the standard
error when X doesn't start) and it asked if I want to look at the X server
log. I said no, did the --disable-xgl, and now X came up ok. I then
reenabled XGL using the desktop effects, and 3D is working again even
after a restart.
Just wondering if the install of the client temporarily breaks XGL & X
necessitating disabling and reenabling XGL.

I hadn't changed my runlevel at all. Simply installed the Novell Client
and rebooted. I could see I was in runlevel 5, but with no GUI since X
couldn't start. Ran the XGL disable thing, typed startx, and now the GUI
came up. Within there use desktop effects to reenable 3D effects (all
still in runlevel 5 and having never switched to any alternate terminal
screen), log off, and now it was working. Might have just been an
isolated incident.

AnyConnect SSL Client issue with Mac OS X

Hello this seems to be a very common issue with AnyConnect working on Mac OS X. A lot of random sites talk about this.
I have a Cisco 2801 running IOS 12.4(22)T (ADV ENT SRV) with AnyConnect 2.3 package installed.
From Windows I can connect without any issues.
From a Mac OS X after providing login credentials the AnyConnect log says its connecting... checking for updates... and then disconnects.
If this does work on Mac OS X what is needed (or needs to be configured) to get this to work properly on Mac OS X?
Thank you!

Hello All,
I recently experienced the same problem when my company upgraded to our entire company from the stone age to a VPN system using the Cisco AnyConnect. At first, I had the same problem as described above. Then my IT guy and I got on the phone with Cisco.
Here is the solution that worked for me. First, our IT department had to specifically load a MAC connection file into the VPN firewall to allow access for MacIntosh computers. Then I redownloaded the latest anyconnect files and updated whatever else through the vpn.yourcompany.com site. Finally, from www.citrix.com/download I downloaded (on the RH side under featured downloads) the appropriate Citrix ICA File.
Everything works fine now. I don't know if this will work for you, but it did the trick for us.

Lion Ichat client issues with logging into SL Ichat server

We run the iChat server on our OD master running 10.6.8. We have about 250 users and it's working great for everyone on Leopard or SL (the majority of our users).
We just started upgrading people to Lion, as well as getting some new lion machines. The people who are on Lion Pre-Configured machines seem ok, but the people who we upgrade are having issues with logging into it. Sometimes it will work just fine, and other times they just can't log in. They get the ~ symbol by their status and can't connect to the server.
The only fix seems to be trashing their prefs AND rebooting, just trashing them or just rebooting don't seem to be enough to fix this. Anyone seen or have a better fix for this? It has happened more than once for the same user.

Same problem here [https://discussions.apple.com/message/23114338#23114338].
Were you ever able to troubleshoot or fix this? File a bug report?

NIS Client Issue

I am attempting to set up a Solaris 9 NIS client of a Solaris 8 Master Nis Server.
After configuring the client I run the ypwhich command and I get the following error message: Domain 'domainname' not bound on 'clienthostname'
All other yp commands I try hang.
I have done the following:
On Client:
added NIS domain name to /etc/domainname file.
- added Master NIS server name to client etc/hosts file
- ran ypinit -c
- started ypbind and rebooted.
On NIS Server:
- added client hostname to NIS Server map (Using Make) ran ypinit -c - started ypbind and rebooted.
Client is Solaris 9, Master NIS server is Solaris 8 ---
Any Ideas?
Thank you in advance,
Evan

Shouldn't the domainname be identified in /etc/defaultdomain
and Not /etc/domainname .

AJAX True Client issue with Load generator and BPM

Hi every one,
when i try to run Ajax True Client scrit from controller with Load Generator other than local machine,
it is failing with an error "cannot find usr file".
Root Cause:
this is because it is missing "webiendp.txt" file while copying the script to Load Generator machine. by placing this file manually in that location, its working fine.
But in case of BPM we cannot do like that. BPM always make a copy of the script and after execution it clean up the entire folder.
is there any settings to copy the entire folder to BPM/LG location, with out missing "webiendp.txt"?
thanks in advance.

This question seems like it's better suited to the [url http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=561]JRockit forum

Client issue with ALE Configurations

Hi Experts,
I am trying to connect to a different SAP System through ALE. I have defined logical systems. When i am trying to assign destination logical system to destination client, i am getting an error - "Entry already exists" as there is another system aready assigned with this same client number.
My Question is - Is there any way to connect to 2 Diff SAP systems having same client number? Otherwise, if there is a client (Say 400) that is already assigned to an SAP System, Then cannt we connect to another SAP system having the same client number( 400)?
Rgds,
SURYA.

No, SCC4 is only for defining the clients of current system (and the corresponding logical system, which must be unique throughout the landscape), it's not about communication at all (apart the logical system).
Use SM59 to define an RFC destination, you'll define the target host and client .
Use WE21 to create an RFC port, referring to the RFC destination above.
Use WE20 to assign this RFC port to the logical system.
By "distribute model", I don't know if you're talking about the "distribution model", in that case I recommend you to go though this thread where there are general information : Distribution model for Message control ?

Autonomy Backup Client - issue with full backup but incrementals okay

We run Autonomy to back-up our Laptops across the enterprise .
I notice on one laptop here that the account within Autonomy Admin shows taht "Last known good full backup = Not applicable", but when you go into client history you can see that the incremental backups have been happening okay.
Should I be conerned? Is this backup file corrupt? If so, how please can I fix with minimal impact to the user.
Thanks

For this unless this is a HP software product you need to contact the Software manufacture that you use for your backup for support on their software...

Issue with parallel operation of SAP NW SSO 2.0 and SNC Client Encryption (Logon Groups)

Hi!
One of our customers is using the SNC Client Encryption solution to ensure encryption using SNC (based on Kerberos Technology) for their SAP GUI Dialog connections. They have lots of SAP backends DEV, QAS, PRD all with the SNC Client Encryption SNC Lib installed. The profile parameter snc/identity/as contains the following value: p:CN=SAP/<ServiceAccount>@<DOMAIN>.
Example: p:CN=SAP/[email protected]
The customer is using one AD Service Account "SNCServiceUser" with one registered SPN "SAP/SNCServiceUser" for all systems (yes, this is not recommended... but the case).
Important: All users use group entries in the SAP Logon (saplogin.ini). Means, for SAP logon the SNC name can not be manually configured on the SAP Front End. With group logons, the application server's SNC name is dynamically requested by the message server each time a SAP GUI connection is started. The SNC Name is greyed out in this case as dynamically obtained from the applications servers profile parameter snc/identity/as.
Now our customer implements SAP NetWeaver Single Sign-On 2.0 within his landscape. Based on the Secure Login Server 2.0 (SP3) he likes to use X.509 based authentication to his AS ABAP backends using SAP GUI SNC while others still use SNC Client Encryption.
Replacing the SNC Library on the AS ABAP
The Secure Login Library 2.0 (SP3) has been installed on one of the ABAP systems and the SNC Client Encryption SNC Library (which is based on SSO 1.0) is no longer used, thus we changed the parameter snc/gssapi_lib to point to the new SNC library. We removed the old PSE.ZIP containing the keytab and created the new SAPSNCSKERB.PSE incl. the keytab and proper credentials. To ensure parallel operation, we kept the snc/identity/as value as is = p:CN=SAP/[email protected].
After restarting the system with initialized Secure Login Library 2.0, still the SNC client encryption works fine for existing users.
The problem
We created on the Secure Login Server an SNC certificate for the AS ABAP which has the following X.509 Distinguised Name Fomat: CN=SAP/[email protected] This is to avoid having to change the snc/identity/as to an "real" X.509 DN which would lead to non-working SNC Client Encryption for all the other users using SAP GUI and logon groups.
As soon as we install the PSE via STRUST on the system the SNC Client Encryption solution stops working with error „Server refuses kerberos key exchange“.
As part of an pilot implementation we have installed Secure Login Client 2.0 (SP3) on some test PCs. The test PC with SLC is able to perform Single Sign-On with SNC based on X.509 (incl. Encryption) to the ABAP system.
Seems the SAP System now only tries to do X.509 based authentication thus key exchange fails. The problem is, we cannot change the snc/identity/as value because of the logon groups. If we were able to do so, we would in any case set the server identity to X.509 DN and in addition create the SAPSNCSKERB.PSE incl. keytab. This should work, as confirmed by SAP see this post.
Any ideas how to solve this and have both solutions in parallel?
Appreciate any help.
Regards,
Carsten

Hi all,
we was able to fix the issue. It was an issue with the customers cluster configuration and the $SECUDIR variable. This tricky issue leads to non working or sporadic working SNC Client Encryption...
This was how the configuration looks before:
Environment variable $SECUDIR is defined:
"/ABCDEF<SID>/usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGSxx/sec“
sapgenpse seclogin -l -v
running seclogin with USER="<SID>adm"
Credentials for username '<SID>adm':
0 (LPS:OFF):
         (LPS:OFF): /ABCDEF<SID>/usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGSxx/sec/SAPSNCSKERB.pse
1 (LPS:OFF):
         (LPS:OFF): /usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGSxx/sec/SAPSNCS.pse
After changing the $SECUDIR to "/usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGSxx/sec“ and re-creating the credentials, it worked like a charm.
As a result of this we can confirm, this configuration and SNC Client Encryption works with CommonCryptoLib in parallel to the SSO configuration.
And Valerie was right with 2. SLC starting from V. 1.0 SP2 PL3 was able to convert the CN= part of the SNC Name into an SPN, was my mistake. In addition SNC Client Encryption starting from Version 1 SP1 PL1 does this also.. just to make this clear
Thread closed hope this helps someone

Directory Caching issue with Cisco Jabber client for Windows

Hi ,
I am facing cache issue with Cisco Jabber client for Windows. If I do any change related to modification or deletion of contacts in Active Directory/ Callmanager, it does not reflect in the Jabber. Because jabber takes the contacts from the locally stored cache file in the Windows system.
Every time I have to remove the cache file to overcome this issue, practically it's not possible to do the same with all the Widows users. As, if any employee leaves the company and still I can see his contact appears in the "Cisco Jabber client". I have not seen this issue with Android/Apple iOS.
Is there any automated way to remove the cache file?
Here is the detail of CUCM,Presence and Jabber.
CUCM version: 9.1.x
Presence : 9.1.X
Jabber : 10.5 and 10.6

Hello
On our environment we had to install a dedicated Microsoft Certificate Authority "just for Cisco Jabber usage" to house the
Network Device Enrollment Service.
Our certificate for the CUPS were generated on this Certification Authority too.
I discussed this certificate matter with my colleagues this afternoon and nobody seems to remember how these certificates were deployed into the
Enterprise Trust store for the users.
But I think they asked all 400 users to accept the 3 certificates by answering "yes" to the popup instead of using a script deployed by GPO...
I wish you success with that deployment and really hope you have a technical partner that *Knows* this subject.
Our partner left us alone with that unfortunately.
Florent
EDIT: If the "Certutil script method" works, please let me know. This could be useful in our own deployment.

10.2.8 client login issues with 10.3.9 server

Hi we have just updated our computer lab to 10.2.8 client computers and a 10.3.9 server but I am having issues with the client computer loging into the server I am using LDAPv3 and when I try to have a user login to the server from the client at the login screen I get the login window shake.I can login fine from a 10.3.9 client computer.Any advice would be appreciated.Thanks in advance

Check your 10.2.8 machines Directory Access and make sure LdapV2 is not checked and also that Ldap V3 is checked and configured correctly. I found that if I had both Ldapv2 and v3 on my 10.2.8 clients could not log in. 10.3 clients only have the option for Ldap V3, so it is not an issue.

I have installed the agent 10 or 15 times and one installation has failed, no error appeared during the installation but I am having inconsistent issues with my ethernet card not working here and there. We rebooted and can log into Novell client but the login prompt did not appear for ESM client or the icon was not in the systray. Everything seems to work, besides at times (a couple times today) it terminates his ethernet card/connection. I would re-image his computer but he has several applications and it would take several hours, so I am hoping someone has an idea to fix this issue. So I was trying to figure out why he did not get the prompt to login and why it's not in the systray and it appears to not have completed the install? I checked the add/remove programs, its not listed within their, I also checked the registry and found nothing for endpoint within their, but the files are within c:\program files\novell\zenworks endpoint security.
I have also tried uninstalling it but that fails due to it "not being installed", and it will not reinstall over itself either.
I did notice that stuninstdrv.exe is running in task manager. Any help would be great...

If you are searching the registry, check for the "Senforce" string. It should be at HKLM\Software\Senforce
Try running the install program for the ZSC with the following command line:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1"
If you've specified an uninstall password, try this one instead:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1 STUIP=password"" (please note the double quote at the end)
Let me know if that helped you.
