Server 4: open directory entry for server reports wrong IP address

I'm running Server 4 on a Mac Mini (late 2012) running OS X 10.10.
The server is configured as a stand-alone machine providing services to users connecting over its fixed IP public address. The server uses Open Directory to keep record of authorised users of the services provided (mail, calendar, wiki, contacts, some file sharing), and the machine is configured as an OD master.
I've noticed that the entry relating to the server on the Server 4 panel for Open Directory (the only entry showing by the way) lists three IP addresses below the name of the machine. My concern is that these IP addresses are not related to the IP address being used by the machine, and there does not appear to be any simple way to change them. The IPs reported are 10.37.129.2, 10.0.1.2, 10.211.55.2. The server's fixed IP is in the range 45.146.x.x and the local network running below our router that the server connects to has IPs in the range 192.168.1.x. So It is not clear where these IPs might be coming from.
What do these numbers relate to? If they are important, should they point to the IP address occupied by the server? If so, how do I make this change in settings?
Thanks a lot in advance for any help that you can provide.

Reconfigure Open Directory in Yosemite Server

Is it possible to delete and reconfigure Open Directory in Yosemite server?
The host name and configuration were modified after Open Directory was activated and I get the message "Unable to load replica list" in the Settings Tab of Open Directory on the Server App (Server 4.0.3 (Build 14S350)). I think the best way would be to start over the automatic configuration.

Many Open Directory problems can be resolved by taking the following steps. Test after each one, and back up all data before making any changes.
1. The OD master must have a static IP address on the local network, not a dynamic address. It must not be connected to the same network with more than one interface; e.g., Ethernet and Wi-Fi.
2. 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.
3. The primary DNS server used by the server must be 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.
4. Only if you're still running Mavericks server, follow these instructions to rebuild the Kerberos configuration on the server.
5. If you use authenticated binding, check the validity of the master's certificate. The common name must match the hostname and domain name. Deselecting and then reselecting the certificate in Server.app has been reported to have an effect in some cases. Otherwise delete all certificates and create new ones.
6. Unbind and then rebind the clients in the Users & Groups preference pane. Use the fully-qualified domain name of the master.
7. Reboot the master and the clients.
8. Don't log in to the server with a network user's account.
9. Disable any internal firewalls in use, including third-party "security" software.
10. If you've created any replica servers, delete them.
11. If OD has only recently stopped working when it was working before, you may be able to restore it from the automatic backup in /var/db/backups, or from a Time Machine snapshot of that backup.
12. As a last resort, export all OD users. In the Open Directory pane of Server, delete the OD server. Then recreate it and import the users. Ensure that the UID's are in the 1001+ range.
If you get this far without solving the problem, then you'll need to examine the logs in the Open Directory section of the log list in the Server app, and also the system log on the clients.

Servermgr_dns: no reverse DNS entry for server

Hi all,
After installing and configuring OS X Server, Tiger, I realized I had given the machine the wrong IP-address. After changing it, I'm getting the following errors every half hour:
Jun 28 12:54:26 g4 servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no name available via DNS for 10.0.0.3
Jun 28 12:54:26 g4 servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no reverse DNS entry for server, various services may not function properly
Can anyone enlighten me, as to wether this is something serious or not. The server is running fine, so it isn't mission critical, but you know, nobody likes error messages

NAME
changeip -- Change IP adress related configuration.
SYNOPSIS
changeip -checkhostname
changeip [directory-node | -] old-ip new-ip [old-hostname new-hostname]
DESCRIPTION
changeip is used to update configuration records when a server's IP
address changes or check/fix the hostname of the server. It needs to be
run by root on the machine who's IP address is changing. If the machine
is hosting a parent directory (NetInfo or LDAP) or is connected to a par-
ent directory, then the Open Directory path to the node must be used (eg
/LDAPv3/192.12.0.43). Otherwise use a dash ("-") for the directory node
argument. The tool may prompt for an admin user name and password for
the directory node. After the tool has successfully completed, change
the network settings in the Network Control Panel and reboot the server.

you need to run this when you change your servers ip
hope this helps.

Can't turn on open directory in the server app

hi, i can't turn on open directory in the server app, I am running the new version of Mavericks (10.9.2)
please help me

If DNS services aren't properly configured and operating correctly, then various other parts of the OS X Server environment tends to be somewhere between flaky and unstable.
To verify DNS is working correctly, launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities and issue the following harmless diagnostic command:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
You'll need to enter an administrative password for the sudo, might see a one-time message about the use of sudo, then see some configuration information, and then an indication that no changes are required, or that there are issues with the network or with local DNS services. This tool will spot most local DNS and network errors, but will not spot an erronous configuration using the .local top-level domain; don't do that.
If you do not have another DNS server on your local network — the screen shot shows DNS isn't running locally, but it's possible there's another DNS server in use. If you do not have a local DNS server (and you're on a NAT'd network) here's how to set up DNS on a NAT'd network — DNS is essential for proper operations of OS X Server, and on a private NAT'd network, that's only possible with your own DNS services. You cannot successfully reference off-network DNS servers here (not the DNS servers at your ISP, nor at Google, and not via a low-end firewall that might have a DNS resolver, etc), as these off-NAT'd network DNS servers do not return the necessary IP-address-to-domain-name translations necessary for your hosts. These name-to-address and address-to-name DNS translations are part of distributed authentication and network encryption.

How to promote my OSX10.6.8 replica server to Open Directory server

My Open Directory Server crash and i would like to promote my replica Server to Open Directory. can you tell me how to do this.

Hello Dave,
Check out the steps quoted below to promote your replica to the Open Directory master.
Provide Open Directory service
https://help.apple.com/advancedserveradmin/mac/3.1/#apdD1F7D8CA-CF07-40CE-B2D4-8 E3ACF4BCA40
Promote a replica to Open Directory master
If an Open Directory master fails and you can’t recover it from a backup, you can promote a replica to be a master. The new master (promoted replica) uses the directory and authentication databases of the replica.
Select Open Directory in the sidebar.
Click Servers.
Select a replica to promote, then choose Promote Replica to Master from the Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear).
Enter the directory administrator name and password.
If you archived Open Directory data with certificate authority keys, you can restore them by entering the Open Directory archive location or clicking choose to locate the archive.
Click Next.
Enter the user name and password for the replica that’s being promoted, then click Connect.
Regards,
-Norm G.

Open directory in mavericks server.

Setting up mavericks server - open directory displays error " server was successfully configured as a directory server but an error occurred" I have tried everything. Can anyone help ?

Does the server show up in the Server list as (Master)? If so, delete it, make absolutely sure your DNS set up and try again.
Even though I hsve a fully qualified Domain name, SERVER.DOMAIN.COM and my reverse lookup set weith my ISP. if I do a lookup for the IP of my server it returns server.domain.com, found Open Directory was much happier if I used the DNS server on the Server Itselfl
In Server DNS created a Primary Zone for my doman, domain.com. Then a Machine A Record for server,domain.com. It automatically made a nameserer record of server.domain.com and the Reverse Zone and server mapping for reverse lookup. Then set it to perform lookups for this server only. Then set 127.0.0.1 as the First DNS server in System Network Settings before any ISP DNS Servers. Then for good measure also entered my ISPs DNS servers in as forwarding servers. Then setup Open Directory with the correct domain with no errors.

The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database

I have SQL server installed to I can connect to RS using my domain/user account. However, when I try to go to http://<machine_name>/Reports/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx, I get error as
    * The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database. A connection to the database is required for all requests and processing. (rsReportServerDatabaseUnavailable) Get Online Help
          o Login failed for user '<machine name>\ASPNET'
    * I also noticed that after I installed RS,I do not see reports folder under C:\Inetpub. This folder does not exist, I manually created reports virtual folder in IIS and liked it to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer
    * Thsi is obviously permissions issue and I missing something so your help will be really appreciated.
During installation, I always specified user as domain\user.
Thanks

Hi NewToReporting,
From you descriptions, I know you have tow questions: 1.Why the SQL Server Reporting Services does not create virtual directories in the wwwroot? 2. Why the error "A connection to the database is required for all requests and processing" happen? If I have misunderstood, please do not hesitate to let me know.
One of the changes in SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 is the removal of the Internet Information Services (IIS) dependency. So, we won't see report server virtual directories in the wwwroot folder.
The second problem is caused by the user '<machine name>\ASPNET' does not have permission to login the SQL Server database "Reports".
To solve the issue, please follow these steps:
1.Open SQL Server Reporting Services Configuration Manager(Start - All Programs - Microsoft SQL Server 2008 - Configuration Tools)
2.Go to "Database" tab.
3.Click "Change Credential"
4.In the coming dialog, fill the textboxes with this information(some textboxes are not modifiable )
Server: <the server name of the report server catalog database>
Authentication Type: Current User - Integrated Security (This will use the user we are login to connect to the database server.)
UserName:(If selecting "Current User - Integrated Security", this textbox is not modifiable. )
Password:(If selecting "Current User - Integrated Security", this textbox is not modifiable. )
5. Click Next
6.In the coming dialog, configure the following information:
Authentication Type: Service Credential(This will use the user the reporting services running under to connect to the report server catalog database. The user is the one we configured in "Service Account" tab)
UserName:(If selecting "Service Credential", this textbox is not modifiable. )
Password:(If selecting "Service Credential", this textbox is not modifiable. )
7.Click Next to confirm the information.
8.Click Next to apply.
This will auto add the user '<machine name>\ASPNET' to login group, set this user to be the owner of report server catalog database, and also give this user "RSExce" role.
Now, we are able to connect to the report server.

Is Open Directory required for Webmail??

Anyone know if I need to enable Open Directory (Tiger Server) in order to use webmail successfully? Currently I am trying to get it going with all users on the local directory but it's not working. Thanks for any help. Rob

Hi
Is Open Directory required for WebMail?
No.
The Web Service needs to be enabled. For that to work effectively DNS needs to be configured and running. Its not absolutely necessary but its better if it is. Obviously the Mail Service needs to be running as well as users having Mail enabled for them in WorkGroup Manager. Obviously you need to enable IMAP for desired users. Either POP and IMAP or IMAP only.
In the Web Service enable the WebMail option. Server Admin > Web > Settings > Sites. You need to enable the WebDAV Module as well. Its in the Modules section. That should be it.
If you want external access open port 16080 and allow public/external requests to the private/internal IP address of your mail server. Create an appropriate firewall rule if your router requires it.

Open Directory Usefulness for Home Server

I'm using Mountain Lion Server primarily as a web server, but as a retired tech writer/programmer I like to fool around with things in case I ever need to return to work. I set up the Open Directory master as part of the installation process, but I'm not sure how useful it is for me. When my site was hosted on Mobileme I got about 30 visits in a day max, and about 1 comment every year or two. So my questions are:
How useful is the Open Directory for me, and is there any point in keeping it turned on?
Is it useful for people outside of my LAN?
Any additional comments, or information are appreciated.

Setting up Open Directory and iCal server.

Hello:
I'm new to open directory - please help or point me in the right direction. I'm trying to set up a OSx server 10.5 running on a PowerMac G4.
I need iCal/DNS/FS/VPN/WEB/Open Directory as services enabled.
For testing purposes I've set up a small network with three machines all running 10.5.6.
I've tired over and over to do this via an advanced server but have not be able to get everything to work so I did a basic server allowing the server set up to input all my settings. Everything built and started up without issue but I could not get iCal to work. I let the set up sit over night and when I returned the next morning the MacMini screen had a window saying that a directory server has been found that offers these following services ...WEB - iCal etc. Do you want to configure your workstation. I did and everything worked as aspected. I thought that I finally got it!
I wanted to see the all of the settings so I converted the server to an advanced server and everything still worked. ( From the one workstation ).
I imported a users exported file from the server I'm trying to fix then the groups file. Everything still worked from the Mac Mini but I could not connect from the other workstation.
I never received the Open Directory message about services being offered etc.
Both machines have identical network settings ( Fixed I.P. pointing the DNS to the server.) AFP sees the server from both workstations but I can not login from the third workstation using any known good user name and password not even the admin or the Macmini account and password that works from the Mac mini. I don't really know anything about open directory, do you need to register the computer name with the server or something to that effect.
Why would it take hours for that original service offering to go out to the first workstation?
Thanks for any help you can offer. All of my OSX server experience has been setting up file servers never any of the other offerings.
Thanks,
Rick

Sorry,
I posted this to the wrong forum. I re-posted in Open Directory.

Open directory on lion server

I've got problem with my open directory with A red dot not responding

Download Server Admin tools for 10.7.2 from Apple's support downloads page, I have found Workgroup Manager more stable for managing network users and groups. Plus you need Server Admin to set up your Open Directory Master well. The only thing you will need Server.app for is setting the network users home share location.
You can do it all from Server.app but I have found it to be slow and cumbersum

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.

OS X Server and Open Directory

I am trying to use a Mac Mini as an Open Directory domain, however it fails on the Open Directory Setup.
The exact error from the log is a below:
Server[308]: An error occurred while configuring webiken as a directory server:
Error Domain=XSActionErrorDomain Code=78 "Server returned a non-zero status code" UserInfo=0x7fb826114140 {NSLocalizedDescription=Server returned a non-zero status code}
Any ideas to what this may be?
FYI: I think this is due to my network configuration. I connect to the internet via Wifi and I have a switch for LAN traffic, but there's no way to give the switch internet access. Is there anyway I can limit the LAN traffic to only use ethernet (en0) and internet traffic to only use WiFi?

Hi,
Not sure this will help, but OSX uses the top Interface for Internet...
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.

Binding Exchange server to Open Directory

So I am setting up an exchange 2010 sandbox machine to see how feasible the install and usage of the software is within the company. When running through the installation it wants the exchange server machine to be bound to an active directory. Well I dont have any active directory servers all I have is our open directory. How can I tie in the exchange binding to the open directory? I have heard about integrating between OD and AD but it seems like it requires yet another AD machine.
Any thoughts? Success Stories?

The answer is to remove the local KDC on the 10.5 clients. 10.5 uses the LKDC for personal file sharing - not needed for networked clients.
Run the following commands to kill LKDC before binding the machine to Open Directory:
sudo dscl /Local/Default delete /Config/KerberosKDC
sudo rm -rf /var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/config/KerberosKDC.plist
