Password Server Class?

I am writing to a password protected server with a username and a password. I don't know of any class that can connect to a username and password server that is not in the sun package. I don't want to download any new packages. If anyone knows of a class, please respond.

If you're in a Windows network then jCIFS works very well for that.

DNS Name in OD Password Server field?

So, I got a new juniper firewall the other day to reduce the amount of work my main server has. Fire it up, configure it, and I notice that password server requests are going out the NAT, then back into the public IP of the server.
My question is this: would it be wise and/or acceptable to change the IP address to a URL in OD (in WGM, Click on target, config in the popup, passwordserver in the list, value in question is PasswordServerLocation and dsAttrTypeNative:apple-password-server-location)?
I would rather do this as the internal DNS points the proper name to the internal IP, while the external does the same for the public IP, so password server would work properly no matter where a user is.

Well, sure. You use a Network as destination (vs. a HOST).

"cannot find symbol" error - password checker class

I had to make a program to check a password to make sure it had two letters, at least eight characters, and only numbers and letters. I'm pretty sure I have all of the checking correct but I can't make use of the method I made to do it. here is my code:
          if(password.LegalPassword())
               System.out.println("You enterend a valid password!");
          else
               System.out.println("You have entered an invalid password!");
class LegitPassword
               //constructor
     public LegitPassword(String userPassword)
     public boolean LegalPassword (String userPassword)
               int digitCounter = 0;
               for(int i = 0; i < userPassword.length(); i++)
                         //is character a letter or number?
                    if(!(Character.isDigit(userPassword.charAt(i))) || !(Character.isLetter(userPassword.charAt(i))))
                         return false;
                         //is the password at least 8 characters?
                    if(userPassword.length() <= 8)
                         return false;
                         //count the digits
                    if(Character.isDigit(userPassword.charAt(i)))
                         digitCounter ++;
               if(digitCounter <= 2)
                         return false;
     return true;
          }oh, and the exact error is:
PasswordChecker.java:27: cannot find symbol
symbol : method LegalPassword()
location: class java.lang.String
          if(password.LegalPassword())
                     ^

Here is the full code so that you can see how I declared password...
     public class PasswordChecker
          static Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
          public static void main(String[] args)
          String password;
          System.out.println("Please enter a new password.");
          System.out.println("Remember: Passwords must be at least eight characters"
               + " consisting of only numbers and letters with at minimal two numbers.");
          System.out.print("Password: ");
               password = console.nextLine();
          //LegitPassword thePassword = new LegitPassword(password);
          if(password.LegalPassword())
               System.out.println("You enterend a valid password!");
          else
               System.out.println("You have entered an invalid password!");
class LegitPassword
     public boolean LegalPassword (String userPassword)
               int digitCounter = 0;
               for(int i = 0; i < userPassword.length(); i++)
                         //is character a letter or number?
                    if(!(Character.isDigit(userPassword.charAt(i))) || !(Character.isLetter(userPassword.charAt(i))))
                         return false;
                         //is the password at least 8 characters?
                    if(userPassword.length() <= 8)
                         return false;
                         //count the digits
                    if(Character.isDigit(userPassword.charAt(i)))
                         digitCounter ++;
               if(digitCounter <= 2)
                         return false;
     return true;
}The error:
PasswordChecker.java:27: cannot find symbol
symbol : method LegalPassword()

          if(password.LegalPassword())Are you suggesting I change the method, LegalPassword, to accept no parameters?

Seperate instances of server class for authentication

I'd like to implement some form of authentication in my server class. I thought about adding a few login routines and while the client hasn't authenticated itself all calls to functions other than the login stuff will throw Exceptions.
However, as I understand from the (in my opinion chaotic documentation and tutorial) every UnicastRemoteObject class is instanced only once and after that every client will use a threaded version of that same class instance... This would mean that if one client logs in, all clients log in as the object doesn't distinguise between clients.
So I either need a way to instance the server class for every client or (perhaps even more graceful) use a Login class that spawns a server class as soon as the login has been accepted.
Unfortunately I can't find anything on the web or the forums about this (lotsa problems like mine but either unanswered or different enough to be less than helpful).

public interface Login extends Remote
Session login(String credentials) throws RemoteException;
public interface Session extends Remote
/// ... whatever you want
then a singleton instance of LoginImpl is bound to the registry, the client retrieves it, tries to get a Session by logging in. The implementation of login() just looks like this:
public Session login(String credentials) throws RemoteException
// check credentials, RemoteServer.getClientHost() &c:
if not acceptable throw new AccessException();
// otherwise
return new SessionImpl(credientials);
}Easy as pie.

RMI Server Class not found

I am facing a problem when i am going to generate Stub and Skeleton using rmic command, but it gives the error that
Error: "class not found"
Please help me.its urgent.

Run rmic -depend to ensure that any classes referenced by the server classes are also compiled. Also, run rmic from inside the directory of your project beside the root of your package.
ie:
Work directory: work/
Classes are in: work/com/yourdomain/rmistuff/CoolServer.java
Then cd into directory work/ and run:
rmic -depend -verbose com.yourdomain.rmistuff.CoolServer
Try this and see what happens.

End point in the Services-config.xml will be like

also find out if the libraries are in the right path for the ZendAMF(i'm from java background so, we have libraries)

How to rebuild the Password Server?

I have over a dozen customer servers running 10.4.3 now, which have been set up under either Panther or some older Tiger Server release.
All of them show some kind of corruption in the Password Server database which means that after restarting the server passwords stop working, the Trusted Binding of client Macs fails etc. etc. - absolutely intolerable in every way.
10.4.3 is supposed to prevent this widespread corruption from happening again, but it seems to been unable to heal an already damaged database. One might assume that reentering the passwords should create new working records, but so far I don't see this to be the case.
So it looks like starting from scratch is the only save procedure here, but this is very tedious and likely to introduce new problems because you'll always overlook some detail somewhere.
Anybody managed to just trash the Password Server database while keeping the rest of the Open Directory setup?
Thanks,
Norbert

The other thing i did notice was that once and a
while i got a overflow file and went in and opened
the overflow in a text editor and found the user name
and uid deleted the user deleted the overflow files
and recreated the user without any issues. I was
going 8 weeks without any overflow files until a
recent power outage (APC got fried and died during a
very large storm).
Can someone explain what an overflow file is? We just had it happen to a server, running 10.4.3, and the password server quits after a bit. I'm not sure how many are logged in before it quits.

Can't log in to Lion Server. Open Directory Log Message says: unable to connect to password server

I am setting up Lion Server. I can't log in to Lion Server from client.
Checking the Open Directory Log: says: "unable to connect to password server" or
"3394.14268, Node: /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1, Module: AppleODClient - unable to read Password Server response - connection to Password Server was closed, socket fd 18 (5205)"
Thanks for help with this.

I never discovered the problem, and instead rebuilt the server from the ground up. I followed instructions at this discussion thread. Very helpful.
How To Install A (Almost) Working Lion Server With Profile Management/SSL/OD/Mail/iCal/Address Book/VNC/Web/etc.
I have had some log-in problems with users. I have found that restarting the server helps. If this doesn't work, I rebuild permissions on the server, followed by opening up Workgroup Manager, go to the user's password, click on options and require that the user change password on the next log-in. For some reason, this will usually fix the problem. I then log in as the user, and "change" the password to the original one. Also note, that if you import a user, the password is not brought in. You must enter it for each user that you imported. Even so, I have often had to resort to the re-set password procedure to enable a log-in.

Anyone an idea what's wrong here and how I can fix this?

It's some time ago and I'm not 100% sure what solved the problem in the end.
But you could try doing a backup (Archive) your db (in the server admin) and then restoring that backup again. Maybe that helps.
I'm now keepking an archive after every change I made to the OD. Hopfully that will save me in the future from such a problem.

OD Replica Password Server Not Running

I have two Intel xServes running 10.5.1 server. The first server I created the OD master and that worked great. The second server I setup as an OD replica. They are both on the same network and no port are blocked between them. In fact they are in the same rack. When I created the replica it all started to work great. It authenticated and downloaded the OD database over SSH. Then it got to the point in the process on the replica that it said, "Starting replica service on Master". It just hung there and wouldn't go any further. I was watching the master OD the whole time and it showed the replica as being bound and enable and that everything was great, but the OD replica was still just sitting there waiting. So I closed the OD assistant window and when I did that the replica acted ok. LDAP server shows running and so does the Kerberos server. But Password server says stopped and I don't know why and want it fixed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-Brian

Same problem here running 10.5.2 server. You can start the Password server replica using slaconfig -starpasswordserver, but it not be a replica from master. If look at the Master's Password Service Replication log it states "DoSync: This password server does not have replicas."

Unable to read Password Server response - socket error on socket

Any ideas are appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi Raja- It seems to be a data quality issue.
Check for the value @ 1447 position in the xml message that you are trying to send to web service..
may be a date filed/decimal value which is not in expected format.

Client/Server Class

Hi,
I am new to Java Programming and I have a question.
I am trying to create a server class that includes the method randomColor and the method drawCircle. The driver/client class needs to draw a circle by calling the methods of a server object. I don't want to call drawOval() method directly in the driver/client class.
The result is basically a random circle with a random color.
Thanks for all your help.

Could you be a little more specific as to what you mean by client server? Do you want to run a client on one computer and the server on another? In that case, it would easier to create a Socket connection and send a specific byte or byte sequence to the server telling it to draw a circle.

Password Server stopped and damaged DirectoryService.pid

I have a small design studio (three Macs and three Windows machines) using a Mac Mini Server running 10.6.8. It was running well until the end of July (coincided with my vacation), when staff reported they couldn't access the server using the normal passwords etc. I was able to talk them through Disk Utility etc so they could at least check the machine was accessible. One of the guys in the office managed to access it using a very old user/password combination, but nobody has been able to tell me exactly what else they did to access the files.
Looking at it today using Server Utility I found the following:
- Password Server is listed as 'stopped'
- Open Directory error logs show multiple unexpected shutdowns
- Password Service was shut down on 29th July and hasn't restarted
- 'Damaged Files' folder has a file called '0674b6e6DirectoryService.pid' in it
- Services like Mail and iChat are constantly on, even after turning them off.
- Time Machine isn't backing up and hasn't done so since 29th July...
No-one can access files using their allotted user names and passwords (the same ones that had been working for the last four years without issue). We can all access the server using this old user/password combination, but
I was already preparing to buy a new server this year, however is there a way to resurrect the passwords/user accounts? Can I replace the damaged file with one from a Time Machine back up - if so how?
Any help gratefully received.

Password Server not working

Running a Lion Server 10.7.5 on a Mini and I would love to move that OD to another machine. I have tried this on three machines now. Three Mini's, two on 10.8.3 and one on 10.7.5. I cannot migrate using the GUI, command line (slapconfig -backupdb), nor can I create a replica of this OD Master.
The issue specifically and consistently points to the fact that the Password Server cannot start. Two examples:
1. When trying to create replica, I get this:
5/31/13 11:00:45.429 AM servermgrd: -[PasswordServerPrefsObject loadXMLData]: Unable to locate passwordserver config record's plist attribute: -1 Can't contact LDAP server
5/31/13 11:00:45.430 AM servermgrd: -[PasswordServerPrefsObject getSearchBase]: Unable to locate search base: -1 Can't contact LDAP server
5/31/13 11:00:45.430 AM servermgrd: -[PasswordServerPrefsObject saveXMLData]: ldap_modify_ext_s of the passwordserver config record's plist attribute: -1 Can't contact LDAP server
2. When I try to migrate data from the GUI or CLI (slapconfig -restoredb)
Logs indicate Password Server needs to abort.
I have confirmed that the database is alright by running:
sudo /usr/libexec/slapd -Tt
This has confirmed that my database is good. So it is just the Password Server portion of OD that is not cooperating.
I have seen nothing about his anywhere. Any ideas?
Thanks

I'm using a new iMac and I'm getting the same problem - so badlly that my machine is running slowly.
You got no replies, a year ago, so that's a bit of a worry!

RTSP:Listening Port- Server Class

I have been given a assignment which I have to write a detailed description of the main method from the Server class (available from http://www.csee.umbc.edu/~pmundur/courses/CMSC691C/lab5-kurose-ross.html)
An example of the level of description that is required is
The parse_server_response method of the Client class: The method starts by initialising a local variable
to zero. In lines 342 to 362, the Client tries to read the three lines of the server response. If this is
unsuccessful for any reason, the catch clause (lines 366 – 369) is executed.
I am new to JAVA, so wondered what is the best way to go about it e.g. suggested tutorial on RTSP:Listening port etc and any websites which will help me in getting an understanding of this kind of coding.
It is quite frustrating as we were only taught the basic of OO principles and the assignment is asking us to explain the code.
Thanks

Yes, but this does not go into the details of what is doing what. I need to know what each command line is doing??
Thnx
