Possible to convert ordinary accounts to Open Directory accounts?

This might be a naive question. But I need to set up accounts for users on this Mac Pro configured with Leopard Server and they may need to be Open Directory accounts, i.e. we may decide to create portable accounts for the whole cluster and have them hosted on this server. I won't know for sure until we have fully discussed the intended uses of the machine, which could take some time. So I am wondering if I can just give users ordinary accounts using System Preferences and then convert them at a later date to Open Directory accounts. I tried to do this with the first account I created for myself on the system and found that the name spaces of the two kinds of accounts conflict, and it's especially hard/dangerous to change a short name (is this really true??)
It would be confusing for users and a headache for me if everyone has two distinct and unrelated accounts. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Liz
+I do get a warning if I launch Server Preferences: it says "Server Preferences can't be used with advanced configurations of Mac OS X Server." Doesn't that confirm that I chose Advanced?+
I guess it does?
I'm thinking you might be getting System Preferences and Server Preferences confused? Your original post was about converting ordinary accounts to Open Directory ones? Provided you've configured the Server as an Open Directory Master with all that that entails then you can install a clean OS on your clients. Provided the DHCP Server is handing out the correct information then after the OS has been installed and at the point the Setup Assistant asks you to create the initial account you should be given a choice to either create one locally or use one that is from Open Directory. If you choose the latter option then a generic local admin account gets created anyway. This is how its supposed to work. However you could forego all of this and simply create a secure local admin account. Join the client to the ODM using the well established method. The same result is achieved.
If you had chosen Standard instead of Advanced a lot of the auto-discovery bit comes into play. To be honest I don't really know although judging by the documentation and what some have posted here this is what happens.
You might find this useful?

Help needed to log into an Open Directory account which has the same username as the local account

Hello,
I have successfully setup a Mac OS X Lion Server and it is an Open Directory Master. On the server Ihave created an account with the name 'Connor'. I have numerous Macs (allrunning OS X 10.7 Lion) connected to this server but on one of the Macs thereis a local account with the name 'Connor' too (the local and networked accountshave different passwords). I want to log into the Open Directory account onthat mac. So, I have done an authenticated bind to the server, but when I go tolog in the password box shakes. I think the computer thinks I am trying to loginto the local account and not the Open Directory account. On Windows, I canlog into either the local accounts or the networked accounts by typing\LOCAL-COMPUTER-NAME\Connor. So, I was wondering if there was a similar commandto do this on Mac.
I don't think I haveworded this very well, so if someone doesn't understand please ask me somequestion about the problem and I will try and explain it better.
Any help would be greatlyappreciated,
Connor

Maybe I didn't make myself clear. I have used directory utility to do an authenticated bind to my server. I also have no problem logging into other accounts in the Open Directory. But, I just can't log into the account which has the same name both in the Open Directory and locally.
Was there something I missed in Directory Utility? Could you please help me if this is so.
Thanks for replying so quickly

Scripts for adding/deleting/modifying Open Directory accounts?

I think I have searched high and low for an answer to this question, but if I missed it please point me in the right direction. Where can I find information on scripts for adding/deleting/modifying open directory accounts? At the very least, a command line utility with some syntax guidelines! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
I personally don't know if any scripts although you can use the command line to do pretty much anything you want with the Open Directory. Consult the manual: man dscl. If you launch terminal and issue dscl you should see something like this:
my-Laptop:~ me$ dscl
dscl (v20.4)
usage: dscl [options] [<datasource> [<command>]]
datasource:
localhost (default) or
<hostname> (requires DS proxy support, >= DS-158) or
<nodename> (Directory Service style node name) or
<domainname> (NetInfo style domain name)
options:
-u <user> authenticate as user (required when using DS Proxy)
-P <password> authentication password
-p prompt for password
-raw don't strip off prefix from DS constants
-url print record attribute values in URL-style encoding
-q quiet - no interactive prompt
commands:
-read <path> [<key>...]
-create <record path> [<key> [<val>...]]
-delete <path> [<key> [<val>...]]
-list <path> [<key>]
-append <record path> <key> <val>...
-merge <record path> <key> <val>...
-change <record path> <key> <old value> <new value>
-changei <record path> <key> <value index> <new value>
-search <path> <key> <val>
-auth [<user> [<password>]]
-authonly [<user> [<password>]]
-passwd <user path> [<new password> | <old password> <new password>]
Entering interactive mode...
The above is for 10.4 and should server equally as well for 10.5.
Hope this helps, Tony

Some Open Directory accounts will not log in

At the school where I work, the Open Directory master is running 10.6.8 Server and the clients are running 10.7.4. I am preparing images to update all the clients to 10.8.3, and I've run into a curious issue.
In our setup, we have a single Open Directory account for each classroom. They are set up for simultaneous login, and their home folders are created in /Users rather than on a network share. We have 20 or so unique room accounts, and the text boxes I'm working with now can log into almost all of them. However, there are a few that simply refuse.
When I attempt to log into one of those accounts, the login window immediately shakes as if I've put in the wrong password. However, I've confirmed that the password is correct. I've also checked through the settings of those accounts to make sure they're in line with all the rest of them. I know that they work because our lab Macs, which are currently running 10.7.4 are able to log into them just fine.
I've tried unbinding and rebinding the clients to the OD server, as well as manually creating a home folder in /Users, neither of which works. I have found a little bit of voodoo that seems to work sometimes. I have to bind to the OD server, then check "Allow Network Users at Login Window", then select "Only These Users", then add all of the available network users to the list. Then, I delete them all, restart the computer, and sometimes that works. Not always though.
Has anybody run into this before?

As far as I can tell, the server isn't logging much with regard to the passwords being refused. I have tried attempting to log in to the accounts that don't work and then checking the Open Directory logs within Server Admin, but I don't see anything either relating to that user or with a timestamp that's close to the time to log in.
On the client side, the log entry I see that relates to that user trying to log in is:
5/30/13 10:03:28.001 AM SecurityAgent[147]: User info context values set for r364epson
Which log in the Server Admin app would errors like this be likely to be logged in?

New open directory account doesn't create mail account

Hi All
I have a Mac Mini with lion server, Fresh out of the box i messed with it a few times to learn and then i did a clean (internet) install and started with the settings i wanted (hostname, etc) with no mistakes. (It seems Lion doesn't like applhying most changes)
When i set it up i created one local admin user that won't be in the open directory.
Anyway, I've set up the following :
* Address Book
* File Sharing
* iCal
* Mail
* Profile Manager
* and VPN
The first open directory user i added was myself and that user managed to get assigned an email account.
Susiquent users i've added have not been registered with the mail subsystem.
I've checked this using the "Server Admin" additional download management tool. (Mail service on the left, Maintenance up the top and then accounts uder that)
There is only one mail account and thats the first one i've added.
I havn't played with the settings so other than switching things on it should "just work" but it doesn't.
I've prevously setup vmail servers using mysql to store the accounts with postfix and courioer imap but that was in some ways simpler as nothing was under the covers. I havn't dug too much into the dovecot config files, etc as i believe there is an all knowing server configuration engine at work here that isn't doing its job (which i havn't dug into)
Has anyone had this issue of the mail accounts not being created?
Or can anyone point me to a fix?

It seems to have something to do with profile manager.
I get stack traces in the "system messages" logs for the "Server" application, grrrr.
I'll get that info and attempt to submit a but report tonight.

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.

How to bind (if possible) Windows 8 clients to OSX Open Directory 10.8?

I read several articles that I have to go through the magic triangle (bind the Open Directory to an Active Directory), but almost all of the articles are from 2012 and below.
This is possible now?
Thank you.

Hi mbellido,
Are you trying to bind a Windows 8 client to Open Directory (OS X 10.8)?
Thanks

Converting from Standalone to Open Directory Master

I want to change my server to an Open Directory Master from a standalone server so that mail clients can use Kerberos to send and receive email. I want to do this just to increase security measures on my network. I have been sucessfully running the server for 3 years or so but am not very knowlegable about Open directories.
My questions is this.
1. Is there any documentation on makeing the change to Open Directory Master with the sole purpose of being able to Authenticate using Kerberos for mail clients. Step by step would be great.

Take a look at www.afp548.com for some good tutorials on the subject.
The admin guide should have step by step instructions as well.
One thing, you will need to move your users from the local "domain" to the OD "domain" in order for them to use kerberos. e.g. all your current user records have a dir node path of "/Users", and you will need to move them to "LDAPv3/127.0.0.1/Users".
Hope this gets you started

What is involved in going from local user accounts to active directory accounts with CCM 9.1.2?

We are currently using local user accounts with CUCM 9.1.2 and are looking at integrating it into the active directory structure.
We do utilize the same structure for user ID's.
I am looking to find out what the changeover will entail and if anything else needs to be done prior to the integration.
We also have Unity syncing up with CUCM for users as well as Contact Center sync'ed up for our ACD system.
Thanks
Mike

Hey Mike,
The process is pretty straight forward. CUCM 9.X supports the coexistence of AD integrated users and local users so you don't have to worry about local accounts disappearing if they don't have an AD account. The biggest thing to watch out for is that if you decide to revert back for whatever reason then the accounts that were in AD will be marked for deletion (from the CUCM, not AD) and will be removed after approximately 24 hours.
I recommend the following if you'd like to move to AD.
Run a DRS backup of CUCM. This is not necessary for the integration but is good practice in my opinion. I'd also do a full export of your users using the BAT so you can reimport users to how they were before the integration should you decide to revert for any reason.
Determine if you want to put the user's extensions in the telephonenumber field or ipPhone field in AD. Once you make a decision, I recommend populating that information in AD so it is available when you do the integration.
Make sure your local CUCM user accounts usernames are exactly the same as your domain accounts. That way when you do the integration the local users become AD users and keep all of their phone associations, group memberships, etc. If you need to change the usernames then be sure to notify your users ahead of time so they can start logging into UCCX or UCM user pages, etc. using their new username.
Create an account in AD that has read-only rights to your directory. Set the password to never expire. You will use this account later for the integration.
In CUCM, go into Serviceability and make sure the "Cisco DirSync" service is activated on the Publisher server.
Also in CUCM, navigate to the administration page and do the following:
Go to System > LDAP > LDAP System and Check the box to enable Synchronizing. Confirm the LDAP server type and attribute for User ID is accurate. This is typically Microsoft Active Directory and sAMAccountName respectively.
Go to System > LDAP > LDAP Directory
Click Add New
Give it a name (whatever you want).
Put in the Distinguished Name of the AD integration account you created earlier. For example, if you created an account called ciscoldap in the Service Accounts OU in the abc.com domain then it would look something like this... CN=ciscoldap,OU=Service Accounts,DC=abc,DC=com
Enter the password for the account.
Enter the search base. This can be a specific OU where your users exist, a parent OU which contains other OUs which contain all of your users or the entire domain. If you do the entire domain then in the abc.com example you would specify DC=abc,DC=com.
Select the option to perform a sync with AD on periodic intervals. The lowest interval you can set is every 6 hours.
Select either the telephonenumber or ipPhone field to be used for the user's extensions. This will be whatever you decided and populated in AD in an earlier step.
Add your primary and any backup domain controllers and ports. If they are just domain controllers and you are not using SSL then specify port 389. If they are also global catalog servers then you can do port 3268.
Click Save and Click the "Perform Full Sync Now" button.
I recommend that you also use LDAP for authentication as well so you only have one username and password to remember which is all controlled by AD. To add this do the following:Go to System > LDAP > LDAP Authentication.
Click Add New
Check the box to use LDAP Authentication
Add the same Distinguished name, passwords and user seach base that you used for your integration account earlier under the synchronization section. Also add the same primary and secondary LDAP servers and ports you used earlier.
Click Save
You can go a step further and create a filter to only pull in the users within the search base you specified and apply that. For example, maybe only pull in users that have their ipPhone field populated. Let me know if you have any questions on that or any of the above.
I hope this helps!

I cannot log in to Firefox. I think it is because I have changed email accounts sense opening the account. How do I reset both email address and password?

I have changed email accounts and forgotten my password.
I cannot request a new password because you will send the email to my old address. Do I have to create a new account and if so will it affect any of my present Firefox settings?

Retrieving the password is possible by using the email address used to register only.
any email change will request a confirmation by using the existing email account.
For any case it is not possible, your only option will be to enter the Setup Menu of the Printer,
Reset the Web Services, then enable it again by creating and using a new HP ePrint Center user account.

Xerox Accounting in an Open Directory

Hi there,
I have a small network running with about 30 Workstations ( iMac 10.8.3 ) connecting to an Open Directory ( OSX 10.8.2 - Server 2.2.1 ) and I'm completely stumped trying to get accounting working on our Xerox Workstation ( 5775 )..
I previously had an HP Laser Printer that I managed with Work Group Manager which worked great. I used the PKG installer for the Xerox and installed the driver on all machines. As administrator I logged into a couple sample machines and configured accounting (which is a silly process I must say) and the settings aren't retained when I log in an OD User. I logged in as an OD User and again configured accounting and the settings still aren't saving saving.
Can someone suggest what steps I need to take to sucessfully integrate the Xerox with accounting on my Open Directory Network?
Regards,

This is for anyone who has ever had a problem like this between his/her local and network accounts. Apparently, when Mac OS X SL Server creates the network account, it tries to duplicate the basic file structures one would find in an independent (i.e. non-networked) machine. My goal was to be able to use my network account, at home, as my standard so that I would be able to take advantage of the networked file services. I succeeded in this and was able to transfer successfully my iTunes library as well. However, the iSync Manager did not duplicate in the new Open Directory account. Upon reading past posts to Apple Discussion groups I determined that there are two files that the iSync Manager uses in order to function. They are as follows:
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local/
and
~/Library/Application Support/iSync/
Copy these two files from your local account to the Open Directory account in their same relative places in the file structure and your iSync Manager will start and you will be able to sync your iPhone calendars and contacts with iTunes.

Open Directory authentication question

I have 2 Apple servers. One is running 10.6 (server), the other is running 10.5 (server). I have my Open Directory on the 10.6 server, and I have the 10.5 server use it via LDAP for user authentication. What I'd like to do is to assign a home directory on the 10.5 server for users in the 10.6 Open Directory. Any ideas?

This should work the same way as normal.
Define the user accounts in Open Directory as normal via Workgroup Manager
On the 10.5 Server, set up a share point, usually AFP is used as the protocol, this is done in Server Admin
On the 10.5 Server, set up that share point to be an Automounted share for user home directories, this will register that share in Open Directory assuming you have already successfully connected the 10.5 Server to Open Directory system, this is also done in Server Admin
Go back to Workgroup Manager select a user account you want to store on the 10.5 server, click on the Home tab, you should now see the 10.5 share point listed as an available choice for storing home directories.
Click on the 10.5 share point and save the user account.
I normally now click on create Home directory, although this happens automatically when a user logs in for the first time.
It is perfectly ok to mix 10.5 and 10.6 servers in this manner. The client machines can also be a different version e.g. 10.4
What you are doing above even though you are mixing 10.5 and 10.6 servers, is the same as you would do to spread the workload of user home directories across multiple servers. While handling user home directories does not cause a massive amount of CPU activity (or memory use) it does cause a significant amount of disk activity and therefore at a certain level spreading user accounts across multiple servers is recommended.

Open Directory Keychain Question

I have set up open directory on my domain but I am having trouble with Keychain access over the network when users logging into network accounts. Whenever I log in using open directory, I can open all of my applications, however each time I log in to my user account all of my keychain passwords are reset. I can look into the user preferences file and see the keychain file, but for some reason whenever a user logs out the changes to it are lost.
Is Keychain access supported when network mounting user folders? If so, what is the proper way to implement keychain access?

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.

After Updating to Server 4.1 Open directory and LPAD gone

Hello,
two days ago I discovered that Open directory was not working on our Server (Mac Mini 2012). I suspect it stopped working after updating to 10.10.3 and OS-X Server 4.1. When I try to start Open directory in the Server App the Server App prompts: Unable to load Replica List. When I try to recreate my Open directory Server I Get: OD Server already exists.
I get the following log entries:

I had a similar problem. A couple days after upgrading, I encountered OD's "Unable to load replica" problem and had my server's certificate deleted from my system keychain!
Server.app + OD + LDAP are all extremely fragile and I just don't trust them during transitions, so I always keep an independent bootable backup with Carbon Copy Cloner and this preflight script. I'll post my notes for recovering OD below, but in my case, nothing worked this time, and I couldn't start OD robustly across reboots. Fortunately for me, my 12 hour old bootable backup was working, so I just used CCC to copy my bootable backup back. Not sure what I would have done had that not worked short of rebuilding everything from scratch.
Pre-steps:
0. Bootable backups, Time Machine backups, and dirserv backups of everything.
1. Disk Utility: Fix disk permissions, Fix disk
2. PRAM reset, Command-Option-P-R at boot
3. DiskWarrior to rebuild the disk directory
Possible steps to fix OD:
# Fix Open Directory "Unable to load replica"
# Try this first:
# https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT200018
# Quit Server.app
sudo mkdir /var/db/openldap/migration/
sudo touch /var/db/openldap/migration/.rekerberize
sudo killall PasswordService
# Open Server.app
# Try this second:
# http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/79141/how-to-fix-failing-open-directory -database-cn-authdata-cannot-be-opened-err
sudo serveradmin stop dirserv
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.openldap.slapd.plist
sudo db_recover -h /var/db/openldap/authdata/
sudo /usr/libexec/slapd -Tt
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.openldap.slapd.plist
sudo serveradmin start dirserv
# Try this third:
# https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6018956
sudo serveradmin stop dirserv
sudo slapconfig -restoredb /private/var/backups/ServerBackup_OpenDirectoryMaster.sparseimage
sudo serveradmin start dirserv
# Try this fourth (assuming ccc_preflight od backup):
# https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6018956
sudo serveradmin stop dirserv
sudo slapconfig -restoredb /private/var/backups/odbackup/od_2015-04-11.sparseimage
sudo serveradmin start dirserv
# Try this last:
sudo rsync -va /your-backup-drive-possibly-TM/private/var/db/openldap/authdata/ /private/var/db/openldap/authdata/
If your server cert gets deleted from the System keychain, you'll need to boot into the bootable backup and export the certificate+key that looks like hostname.domainname.tld, signed by IntermediateCA_HOSTNAME.DOMAINNAME.TLD_1, copy this to the server drive, import back into the System keychain. The cert should then appear within Server.app again. See here for how to do this if all you have is the System keychain file.
If anyone has reliable advice how to fix a corrupt OD that would be a huge help.

Possible to convert ordinary accounts to Open Directory accounts?
