OS X Server - User management

Hey all,
I am thinking of getting the new Mac Mini with OS X Server as a replacement for an old home server. It would run email, web server, calendar, and FTP. It looks like managing these things in OS X Server is rather easy as long as each user is an OS user.
The problem is most users are not on-site, so they would need a means of managing their login password remotely. Is there an interface that allows remove password changing for users?

I'm not aware of an organization that provides a test-drive for Mac OS X Server, though there might be a related one-on-one or business-oriented class available (for free or for a fee) at a local Apple store.
VPNs are easily feasible with Mac OS X Server, and a VPN client is built into Mac OS X. That written, there are a gazillion different interpretations of "VPN" and of "road warrior"; protocols and requirements and clients and access patterns and security requirements can and do differ.
Subnets are standard IP, and fully available. Subnets are intended to control routing and are not intended for security. Here a case of obscurity than of security, unless enforced at the switches and possibly through switch-level VPNs and/or encryption -- subnetting is quite certainly functional, but not something I would rely on for security. Various malware and many users are fully aware of how to sniff a LAN, after all.
US$500 (10 client) is not expensive for a server operating system FWIW, and Mac OS X Server can be installed on most any Mac system. US$500 and US$1000 (unlimited client) is a small fraction of other widespread choices in the market. One I'm familiar with is US$900 per core plus hardware, and another starts in the low US$2000 range, plus hardware. But yes, taking the plunge with an Xserve and an unlimited client will set you back some US$3000, or more.
If you're specifically looking for VPN capabilities and subnetting, there are potentially hardware-based solutions available. These are hardware devices (switches and routers) that provide the subnetting, and that can provide a firewall with VPN capabilities. These embedded and dedicated devices do not provide the rest of what Mac OS X Server provides, however.

How to find solution for avoiding WARNING J2EE SECUR-00100 ********** user-manager (see application/server descriptors) will no longer be supported in the next release of this product

of this product!

I just checked my BIOS and my current setting is set at IDE although it also mentions that the default should be AHCI. Currently I have a dual boot of Windows 7 (need it for Tax software) and Arch
So I guess, when I get the new HDD, I will first set it to AHCI and then install the OSes on it. See if NCQ helps any, and if not I will turn it back and re-install (if I have to). I am planning to have Windows only in virtualbox in the new drive.
Anyhoo, while I was in the BIOS I found two things which I had questions about :
1) Under Onboard Devices --> Integrated NIC , my setting is currently set at "On w/PXE" and it says the default should be just "On". Would it be ok to change it back to On since its a single machine and its not booting an OS on any server. I just don't want to have to re-install anything now since I will be doing that in the new HDD.
2) How would I know whether my BIOS would support a 64 bit OS in Virtualbox? I checked some setting under Virtualization, but they weren't very clear.
I will edit this post and let you know exactly what settings were present under the Virtualization sub-section.

Non-admin Users SQL Server Configuration Manager

Hi Everyone,
I'm wondering if it's possible to grant non-admin users to start/stop SQL services using SQL Server Configuration Manager. Using the sc command, I was able to grant non-admin users access to services applet in Windows.
However, our DBA said that the best practice to stop/start SQL is via SQL Server Configuration Manager. Based on testing, they are unable to stop/start SQL from SQL Server Configuration
Manager though they are able to do so (stop/start SQL services) via Services applet.

Check these links.. Yes you can stop/start SQL is via SQL Server Configuration Manager, services.msc,
SSMS --> InstanceName-->Stop / Start

OIM 9.1.0 with Database User Management: Connector Exception upon Connect

Hi,
I've been struggling with the Database User Management connector (9.0.4) with Sybase, following the steps word-for-word as per the documentation (Oracle® Identity Manager Connector Guide for Database User Manage Release 9.0.4; E10425-0; July 2009).
When defining the IT Resource through the Install Connector wizard, I get the following when it does a connection test:
14:51:52,795 ERROR [WEBAPP] Class/Method: CreateITResourceAction/testConnectivityForDataBase/ClassNotFoundException encounter some problems: No ClassLoaders found for: com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybDriver
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: No ClassLoaders found for: com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybDriver
even though I've ensured jconn2.jar is in the ThirdParty directory, reflushed the cache, and restarted OIM; the connector still can't seem to load the driver.
I've tried the database testing script with similar results.
Any thoughts?
Cheers
Simon
PS: I believe v5.5 of JConnect (as required by the OIM Connector) has been EOL'd and Sybase. They recommend you use v6.0 (v6 is jconn3.jar)), which from what I can see should work as com.sybase.jdbc3.jdbc.SybDriver; I tried that as well but had the same ClassNotFoundException.

I've fixed it; needed to copy jconn2.jar into the $JBOSS_HOME/lib directory and restart the server.

VPP Distribution issues with OSX Server Profile Manager

Hi, I have a new issue with my OSX 10.9.5 Server. I use VPP to distribute apps to users devices, when I would add a new user I would send them an invitation message through /profilemanager . All was working well until recenetly , the message still arrives in the users mailbox however when you click the "sign in" link on the "receive apps and books from xxxxx" email instead of opening through the Mac App store app it now opens Safari and connects to the profile manager server , any ideas ? it never has done this before and although I thought it was a new feature or method I can not seem to resolve the issue.

Hi if when you are redirected back to your Mac Server you enter the user name and password of the user you are trying to receive VPP apps for i.e the Open Directory credentials it will then open the App Store providing the credentials are correctly entered so it looks like an additional layer of security. The process is click on the link in the VPP invite email, this takes you to your Mac Server profile manager, log on with your OD account, App store then opens on your Mac like it used to.

What is difference between 32 bit and 64 bit sql server memory management

What is difference between 32 bit and 64 bit sql server memory management
Thanks
Shashikala

This is the basic difference...check if helps:
A 32-bit CPU running 32-bit software (also known as the x86 platform) is so named because it is based on an architecture that can manipulate values that are up to 32 bits in length. This means that a 32-bit memory pointer can store a value between 0 and
4,294,967,295 to reference a memory address. This equates to a maximum addressable space of 4GB on 32-bit platforms
On the other hand 64-bit limit of 18,446,744,073,709,551,616, this number is so large that in memory/storage terminology it equates to 16 exabytes. You don’t come across that term very often, so to help understand the scale, here is the value converted to
more commonly used measurements: 16 exabytes = 16,777,216 petabytes (16 million PB)➤ 17,179,869,184 terabytes (17 billion TB)➤ 17,592,186,044,416 gigabytes (17 trillion GB)➤
As you can see, it is signiﬁcantly larger than the 4GB virtual address space usable in 32-bit systems; it’s so large in fact that any hardware capable of using it all is sadly restricted to the realm of science ﬁction. Because of this, processor manufacturers
decided to only implement a 44-bit address bus, which provides a virtual address space on 64-bit systems of 16TB. This was regarded as being more than enough address space for the foreseeable future and logically it’s split into an 8TB range for user mode
and 8TB for kernel mode. Each 64-bit process running on an x64 platform will be able to address up to 8TB of VAS.

When I click on schedule a new report task, I get an error "Class not registered".
nada

Hi,
When we schedule a new job, we add a scheduled task to the c:\windows\tasks folder.
The scheduled task will contain the following command line
"c:\WINDOWS\system32\storrept.exe reports generate /scheduled /Task:"FSRM_Report_Task{GUID.......}"
There is also a folder on the system drive
C:\StorageReports\Scheduled
We Also store information in the system volume information folder in the following files:
c:\system Volume Information\SRM\Settings\ReportSettings.xml (we use .old and .alt extentions}
c:\system Volume Information\SRM\reports\reportX.xml (where X = an incrementing number set, in writing to these files, we also use .old and .alt extentions}
When experiencing issues relating to scheduled report jobs, you will want to examine these files and check for NTFS permissions issues on these locations also.
Make sure you check the volume that you will be running the report on.

SQL Server 2012 Management Studio:In the Database, how to print out or export the old 3 dbo Tables that were created manually and they have a relationship for 1 Parent table and 2 Child tables?How to handle this relationship in creating a new XML Schema?

Hi all,
Long time ago, I manually created a Database (APGriMMRP) and 3 Tables (dbo.Table_1_XYcoordinates, dbo.Table_2_Soil, and dbo.Table_3_Water) in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (SSMS2012). The dbo.Table_1_XYcoordinates has the following columns: file_id,
Pt_ID, X, Y, Z, sample_id, Boring. The dbo.Table_2_Soil has the following columns: Boring, sample_date, sample_id, Unit, Arsenic, Chromium, Lead. The dbo.Table_3_Water has the following columns: Boring, sample_date, sample_id, Unit, Benzene, Ethylbenzene,
Pyrene. The dbo.Table_1_XYcoordinates is a Parent Table. The dbo.Table_2_Soil and the dbo.Table_3_Water are 2 Child Tables. The sample_id is key link for the relationship between the Parent Table and the Child Tables.
Problem #1) How can I print out or export these 3 dbo Tables?
Problem #2) If I right-click on the dbo Table, I see "Start PowerShell" and click on it. I get the following error messages: Warning: Failed to load the 'SQLAS' extension: An exception occurred in SMO while trying to manage a service.
--> Failed to retrieve data for this request. --> Invalid class. Warning: Could not obtain SQL Server Service information. An attemp to connect to WMI on 'NAB-WK-02657306' failed with the following error: An exception occurred in SMO while trying
to manage a service. --> Failed to retrieve data for this request. --> Invalid class. .... PS SQLSERVER:\SQL\NAB-WK-02657306\SQLEXPRESS\Databases\APGriMMRP\Table_1_XYcoordinates>   What causes this set of error messages? How can
I get this problem fixed in my PC that is an end user of the Windows 7 LAN System? Note: I don't have the regular version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 in my PC. I just have the Microsoft 2012 Shell (Integrated) program in my PC.
Problem #3: I plan to create an XML Schema Collection in the "APGriMMRP" database for the Parent Table and the Child Tables. How can I handle the relationship between the Parent Table and the Child Table in the XML Schema Collection?
Problem #4: I plan to extract some results/data from the Parent Table and the Child Table by using XQuery. What kind of JOIN (Left or Right JOIN) should I use in the XQuerying?
Please kindly help, answer my questions, and advise me how to resolve these 4 problems.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

In the future, I would recommend you to post your questions one by one, and to the appropriate forum. Of your questions it is really only #3 that fits into this forum. (And that is the one I will not answer, because I have worked very little with XSD.)
1) Not sure what you mean with "print" or "export", but when you right-click a database, you can select Tasks from the context menu and in this submenu you find "Export data".
2) I don't know why you get that error, but any particular reason you want to run PowerShell?
4) If you have tables, you query them with SQL, not XQuery. XQuery is when you query XML documents, but left and right joins are SQL things. There are no joins in XQuery.
As for left/right join, notice that these two are equivalent:
SELECT ...
FROM   a LEFT JOIN b ON a.col = b.col
SELECT ...
FROM   b RIGHT JOIN a ON a.col = b.col
But please never use RIGHT JOIN - it gives me a headache!
There is nothing that says that you should use any of the other. In fact, if you are returning rows from parent and child, I would expect an inner join, unless you want to cater for parents without children.
Here is an example where you can study the different join types and how they behave:
CREATE TABLE apple (a int    NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
b varchar(23) NOT NULL)
INSERT apple(a, b)
   VALUES(1, 'Granny Smith'),
   (2, 'Gloster'),
   (4, 'Ingrid-Marie'),
   (5, 'Milenga')
CREATE TABLE orange(c int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
d varchar(23) NOT NULL)
INSERT orange(c, d)
   VALUES(1, 'Agent'),
   (3, 'Netherlands'),
   (4, 'Revolution')
SELECT a, b, c, d
FROM   apple
CROSS JOIN orange
SELECT a, b, c, d
FROM   apple
INNER JOIN orange ON apple.a = orange.c
SELECT a, b, c, d
FROM   apple
LEFT   OUTER JOIN orange ON apple.a = orange.c
SELECT a, b, c, d
FROM   apple
RIGHT OUTER JOIN orange ON apple.a = orange.c
SELECT a, b, c, d
FROM   apple
FULL OUTER JOIN orange ON apple.a = orange.c
go
DROP TABLE apple, orange

It is strange because it was working all right since 3 months ago and in these 2 last weeks, it is frequently this problem. Sometimes it works sometimes it does not.
Of course, I tried the connection between OIM and SAP, with the SAP login, and the connection is all OK.
My oim vertion is 9.1 and the SAP User Management connector is 9.0.4.1.
Did anybody have this problem before?
Bye!

Oh I forget, when I restart the application server, in my case the jboss, the problem is fixed. Strange...

Error Installing OIM - Ebiz User Management connector

Hi all,
I am trying to install ebusiness suite user management connector 9.1.0.1.0.
But, while installation, I am getting an exception
Invalid Connector Installation Directory
Ensure that the connector installation files are in the specified directory.
From the server log, I have seen this error.

But, before this, I have done the ebusiness suite employee reconciliation 9.1.0.1.0 in the same way.
Please let me know, if any one has faced this kind of error earlier.
Regards
Vicky

Figured out the error,
When I have installed Ebiz HRMS Employee recon connector, it has imported all the files with root privileges. (Dont know why importing was done with root privileges).
Becuase of EBSCommon.jar and Common.jar having root as the owner, EBIZ UM connector is unable to replace those files. After modifying the owner and group of these two files to oracle.
I am able to succesfully install the UM connector.

User Management problem after upgrade of SAP DB/Database Studio

Hi,
after upgrading SAP DB to 7.8.02.21 and Database Studio to the same version (this is on Windows 7 64 bit professional) I experience that starting DB Studio as a normal user fails with a message regarding not being able to execute (?) User Management. To start the program I have to run it as administrator. Once I do this it will, afterwards, work fine for a normal user, too, but only for one day (or possibly one logon to Windows 7).
(The error message does not even contain a hint to that solution)
In previous versions it was necessary to run DB Studio once (after installation) as an adminstrator. After that it would work all the same for normal users.
Is there a way to fix this? The desired behaviour being the one from previous versions that after one administrator run it can be started by my normal Windows user? It's, of course, not serious and I do know a workaround, but it's a bit annoying nonetheless.
(And yes, I do know that Windows 7 is not an officially supported platform. I'm just shyly asking).
Best regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
due to the changes in the security concept in Windows 7 it's now required to be admin when you want to start or stop a service or to create 'global objects' like the shared memory files that are used to communicate between DBM-client, server and database kernel.
Since the user management of MaxDB Studio actually is just a small MaxDB instance, the service for this must be running.
To start the service and to create the shared memory the admin privilege is necessary on Windows 7.
What you may do is to flag the dbstudio.exe as "execute as administrator" - that will give you a pop-up warning every time you run the program but it will work.
I assume that is the workaround that you're already using and it's the one I use as well.
AFAIK the colleagues in Berlin are working on a version that doesn't require a MaxDB instance for local user management - that should remove this kind of problem as well.
regards,
Lars

Adding a domain user to the admin role within the local user management breaks all metro apps for all users!!

Hi,
I have posted this in another large thread under the "Windows 8 General" group but have not had any appropriate feedback from MS.
After hours of testing and working with other users I have managed to isolate a simple situation that breaks all metro ui applications within Windows 8 for all users on the machine. Here are my exact steps and notes.
Before continuing if you are running Avast then your solution may be to turn of the behaviour shield functionality as this also breaks metro apps. This is NOT the problem we are having!
I have performed 3 cleans installs after isolating the problem and am able to reproduce the issue every time using the same steps on two different machines.
First thing to say is that for us it has nothing to do with simply joining the domain, domain/group policies nor does it appear to have anything to do with the software we installed, the problem here is much more simple but the result is pretty terrible.
Here are my exact steps of what I did to reproduce our problem:
Complete format of HDD in preperation for a clean install
Clean install performed
Set up the machine initially with a local account
Test metro apps - all working fine
Open control panel from the desktop, click on System, change the system to join the domain, click reboot
Log into the system using my domain account
Test metro apps - all working fine
Here's were the problem starts. I need my domain account to have admin rights on the local machine so I can install programs without the IT men having to come over and enter their password every 5 mins.
I go to control panel via the desktop and click on User Accounts. From with here I then click on "Manage User Accounts". This requires the IT guys to enter their details to give me access to such functionality. This is fine
In the dialog box that opens I can only see the local user that was initially created during setup. The "Group" for this local account shows as "Administrators" - Image included below (important to note that metro apps are working at this point)
I click add and then add my domain account - also giving it administrator access
Sign off or reboot to ensure the new security is applied
Sign back in to the domain account
Test metro - ALL BROKEN
Sign out
Sign in as local account
Test Metro - NOW ALL BROKEN FOR THIS USER ALSO
So as soon as I add my domain account to the local user accounts and set it as admin it breaks all metro apps for all users. This is on a totally clean install with nothing at all installed other than the OS.
Annoyingly if I go back and change the domain account to a standard user or if I totally remove the domain account from the local account management system the problem does not go away for either user. basically it is now permanently broken. The only fix I
could fathom was a full re install and not giving the domain user admin access to the local machine.
Screen one - this is the local user accounts window AFTER joining the domain and logging in with my domain account (All metro apps working at this point)
Screen 2: User accounts AFTER joining the domain and AFTER adding domain account to local user management (METRO BROKEN)
I have isolated my machine from all group policies so nothing like that is affecting me. Users I have spoken to in different companies have policies that automatically add users to the local user management. This means that metro apps break as
soon as they join the domain which leads them to wrongly think it is group policies causing the error. Once they isolate themselves from this they can reproduce following my steps.
Thanks

Hi Juke,
Thank you for the response and apologies for the delay in getting back to you. My machine was running a long task so I couldn't try your suggested solution.
I had already tried running the registry merge suggested at the top of the thread to no avail. I had not tried deleting the OLE key totally so I did that and the problem still exists. I will post all the errors I see in event viewer below. For
your info, since posting my initial comment I have sent out my steps to 7 different people and we can all reproduce the problem. This comes to 10 different machines (3 of them mine then the other guys) in 3 different businesses / domains. We see the same errors
in event viewer.
Under "Windows Logs" --> "Application" : I get two separate error events the first reads "Activation of app winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store failed with error: The app didn't start. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional
information." The second arrives in the log about 15 seconds after the first and reads "App winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store did not launch within its allotted time."
Under "Windows Logs" --> "System" : I get one error that reads "The server Windows.Store did not register with DCOM within the required timeout."
Under "Applications And Services Logs" --> "Microsoft" --> "Windows" --> "Apps" --> "Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational" : I get one error that reads "Activation of the app winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store for the
Windows.Launch contract failed with error: The app didn't start."
If you require any further information just let me know and I will provide as much as I can.
Thanks
