Setup ical client setup 10.6

We are using Lion server and want to setup ical clients running on Snow Leopard (10.6), however we need the UID for the calendar, where can I get it?

Hi
For the iCal application you don't need the UID for the client and neither do you need to join/bind client workstations to the Server. As long as DNS is correctly resolving on both pointers and your clients are using the correct DNS Server you should be able to add a CalDAV account by simply providing the users shortname and password and the fully qualified domain name or IP address.
As long as DNS Services are resolving correctly it will work.
If you really want to find Users' Generated UIDs and you're not interested in using the command line, launch Directory Utility on the Lion Server itself. Click on the Directory Editor Icon and select the LDAPv3 node. This allows you to view the LDAP database in Inspector mode. Click on a User and look at the Generated UID value.
You may have to click on another icon and then back again to get this to refresh properly. Let's call this an undocumented 'feature' of the plug-in.
You should be able to do this remeotely by referencing the Server's LDAP node using Directory Utility on a Client Workstation. On the client launch Directory Utility (/System/Library/CoreServices) and from the File Menu select Connect. Key in the OD Master's IP address or fully qualified domain name (or even the name assuming the DNS and DHCP Services are configured correctly) as well as the appropriate directory admin name and password and you should be looking at the LDAP node in Inspector mode.

Ical client setup with 10.6 server

I have iCal server up and running on my 10.6 server and everything seems to be working right. however I have set the server side up to use ssl and have opened those ports on my firewall which works. My problem is that after setting up a user I send out the welcome email and that has the configure my mac link. Which was done before I change the iCal server settings to use ssl. And now every time I go in and manually set the server settings to use ssl on the client side and quit and reopen ical another account is added without the ssl settings. How do i get it to stop automatically adding an account to iCal?

This looks like a bug in the iCal client. I, too, have had problems with delegated calendars and end users mistaking events for being missing, not updated or incorrect only because their local copy was not synced with the true copy on the server. The refresh rate on delegated calendars can be changed with the "Refresh calendars: [ Every 1 minute ]" preference. You can verify this by right-clicking or control-clicking on the delegated calendar and choosing "Show CalDAV Queue." This brings up a queue of activity with the iCal Server. You'll note at the top that it mentions "Refresh every 1 minute."
The problem, of course, is if you quit iCal and recheck the "Show CalDAV Queue" on the delegated calendar, the refresh interval has reverted to some long interval like 300 or 900 minutes. This is a bug, for sure. For now, you can tell your clients not to quit iCal or to refresh manually or reset the refresh interval whenever they restart iCal/their computer, etc.

ICal Server setup help !!!

Hello All,
I would like to share my experience with setting up the iCal server and all the hick ups I had to get it finally working. At least what worked for me. Check the basics before you start.
This is all done from after installing the server in Advanced setup or so to say normal installation as it was under Tiger. I'm trying to summarize what I have done. It took me a lot of hours do. So if I mis something feel free to reply with the missing things. Maybe together we can setup a working manual for all others that have problems with the setup and lack documentation from Apple.
1) Make sure your DNS is setup properly and working. Test it with:
type: “named-checkconf” in de root account of the terminal. Nothing should happen thats OK
type: “named-checkzone” in de root account of the terminal make sure you use the complete path and bare in mind that Apple changed the DNS setup again pointing to something like var/named/zones/db.example.come.zone.apple. The serial of the DNS should load and you should receive a OK. Make sure that your server IP is also mentioned in the system preferences/network DNS so you can use for example the server.example.com in server admin.
2) Either use SSL or don't when you want to use, use it everywhere otherwise it something will slip trough and want work. Without SSL it appears to work easier in the setup from local iCal client to server. But SSL is of course more secure. I want talk about Kerberos because I'm not able to get that to work yet.
3) Make sure you set it up from an "Open directory", "Local directory" should/could work to but I haven't test that yet and I seriously doubt it would work properly.
That being said I now can share my setup with you (switch your firewall of during setup it's easier to troubleshoot, switch it on again if everything works. If it stops working after the firewall is on again, well you know where to look for the problem :-)):
1) After setting up the Open Directory Master I switched on SSL and created a own certificate for my server. I didn't protected the certificate with a password as it gives a lot of extra problems with setting things it up. You can than select the certificate under Server Admin/Open Directory click on setting and click the tab LDAP. There you can select it.
2) Make sure your webserver is running and you have a working website where you can go to. Under Server Admin make sure that under the selection Sites that your FQDN is filled out. Being something like www.example.com and not example.com. The second one could cause iCal web part to not work accordingly at least that is my experience. After that choose security and make sure SSL is on and your certificate is selected. The rest of the website settings is pretty basic I didn't changed to much. I do know that I switched on some extra modules. Being bonjour_module, authzsvnmodule, davsvnmodule. This prevented further in the installation the 210 error when I went to the Calendar under my webbrowser. I wouldn't know which of the 3 is doing the trick I only know that after this it worked for me.
3) Pffffff OK go to the iCal Server settings under the Server Admin. The settings are straight forward but again make sure SSL is on and your certificate is selected. And look at your host name which should be someting like server.example.com. If you are not able to get DNS setup properly you could try your machines example.local name. But that again could give troubles when you want to use local iCal client outside the door on a laptop for example.
These where all the server admin setting. Now go to the Workgroup Manager and selected the group/groups you want to have Calendaring switched on and choose the way people are able to logon. This you can do by going to the group select the default website and services you want to give. Then select under Allow the way people can logon to this website or iCal services.
When that's done you should have everything up and running on the server site. So now go to a local iCal client and go to preferences/accounts/server setting. Click the + on the left bottom site and fill out a name and password leave the server option for now to auto. This way and when everything is setup properly you should get something like https://server.example.com:8443/principals/_uids_/14A0DD22-86CA-4F55-96D9-9CB461640D52/. The end number should refer to your name and password account so the number want be the same as in this example. Well if it works you are one of the lucky people and you are able to setup a shared Calendar from there. It would help a lot if you have more than one machine to test. Because it didn't worked on my MacBook Pro getting a famous error "iCal unexpected secure name resolution" But it did worked on my wifes iMac. So the server settings are OK. Now the good part when it's not working is that you can go to your webbrowser and type or copy the following: https://www.example.com:8443/principals/users/shortname (naturally use your own server name and user name). There you can see details of the principals settings. Including youre uids number. This number is unique for your name and password. Copy this number. Then go back to iCal switch of the auto find in iCal client under preferences/accounts/server settings. The first part of the link is https://server.example.com:8443/principals/uids/(Now paste you number here). Hit enter and see what happens. It the name server is not working for you than use for example iso server the name mail if you have it setup in the DNS is should work. It did worked for me and it gave me a nice shared calendar which you can name for yourself. Every group member should be able to see this agenda once hooked up to it via iCal client and prefences/accounts/server settings.
If you go to your website or www.example.com/groups you should see youre shared group. Sorry I only tried it with one group sofar. If you make changes to the calendar from the webbrowser it will show up after a refresh in your iCal client and visa versa. The only thing I still have problems with is the events for more days. They show up on the web as events but when I click them they produce a unwanted error. But when it's based on a single day than it work perfectly.
Hopefully you have a working iCal server to now. If you find something interesting or you think I left some important things out. Please reply and fill out the blanks.
I just hope that it will save some time for the new once setting this up.

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I am looking at setting up an iCal server myself for our business. However, our situation is a bit different. Could you also share what kind of workgroup you set it up for? And maybe help me answer a few questions below. Thanks in advance!
First a little background. We are a small management company. We have individual clients that we manage. We need to have access to their calendars to schedule events, etc. The thing is that we would be the only ones looking at everyone else's calendars at once so that we can coordinate our own schedules so that we can be where it is most important but still not lose track of other activities.
1. What kind of machine are you running the iCal Server on? Xserve? MacPro?
2. Is it possible to view multiple users' calendars within a single calendar view?
3. Does setting up this kind of calendar server sound like the setup for our situation where only we, the management, will be able to view all calendars?
4. How difficult will this set up be on our clients and their machines since we have little control over their personal machines? (The majority of our clients are all Mac users. There may be one PC user.)

\\SERVER\Clients\Setup\setup.exe with Windows Vista Error

I added the first Vista client to an SBS 2003, SP1 domain. Until now, all clients were WinXP, SP2. Office 2003 is installed on the XP clients, and the Vista client, which may not be pertinent to this problem.
As is normal, "\\SERVER\Clients\Setup\setup.exe /s SERVER" is executed when a user logs on to any domain client. On the Vista client, I always get the dialog -- regardless of the account privilege -- asking for permission to run Setup.exe. It is annoying. Occasionally, the Program Compatiblity Assistant will appear and advise there's a known compatiblity issue with Setup.exe. It points to KB article 926505 for resolution. The title of the KB is, "Windows Small Business Server 2003: Windows Vista and Outlook 2007 compatibility update."
When I run the SBS2003SP1-KB926505-X86-ENU.EXE fix, I get the error: "This update cannot be installed. Either it is already installed as part of an existing service pack, or it requires a more recent service pack. For more information, see the systems requirements on the download page."
I installed Windows Server 2003 SP2 and run the KB926505 fix, but I get the same error "This update cannot be installed. Either it is already installed as part of an existing service pack" After a reboot of te SBS server the same problem on the Vista client, I always get the dialog -- regardless of the account privilege -- asking for permission to run Setup.exe. It is annoying. Occasionally, the Program Compatiblity Assistant will appear and advise there's a known compatiblity issue with Setup.exe. It points to KB article 926505 for resolution.
The problem is Windows Vista Business, because all windows XP clients have no problem at all.

PNP,
You do not say whether if you accept the permission dialog whether the setup continues or not, but the short answer to the question revolves around UAC.
Remember that EVERY user (except the actual Administrator account) has only Standard user rights regardless of group. When a task that requires Admin rights is executed, one of three things will happen: 1) If you are THE Administrator, then your task will continue. 2) If you have Admin rights, you will be prompted that a process is trying to use elevated rights and ask for permission, or 3) If you are a Standard user, you will either be denied flatly or prompted to supply credentials. Which of these happen depend on GPO settings, but the default is to prompt.
In any event, I believe that this is what you are running into, and is one of the big feature improvements in Vista. Yes, it can be a bit annoying (Try deleting an "All Users" icon from the Start Menu!) but is there to place one more barrier between virus and malware writers and your OS.
If it's TOO annoying to bear, you can turn off UAC by going into your profile and disabling it. (It requires Admin rights, of course. ) It is not recommended as you do a very effective job or nutering the Vista Security Model by doing so.
If it, of course, your choice. we IT Admins have a lot more issues with this than the standard user, but for me, I gladly take the tradeoff because I worry a lot less about those few I HAVE to give Admin rights to.
Good luck!

How to setup HTTP client for HTTP to File scenario

Hey guys
i have a scenario wherein one of our clients is sending invoices(as XML message) over HTTP(client is outside our landscape) and i have to to send this invoice to a File system from where it will be picked up by an ABAP code(picking of the file has to be done by ABAper so i m not concerned with that)
the way i m starting off this project is that
i will create a sender and receiver data type,message type and Message interface,Message mapping is 1-1 so its kinda simple and then Interface mapping.
in configuration i wont be creating and sender communication channel and sender Agreement,i need receiver communication channel,receiver determination and interface determination.
does my design and configuration looks good to you guys?
also i waz goin through some threads and it says that i need to setup HTTP client for this scenario and then specify a URL in a specific format.
where will i setup the HTTP client and where will i specify the URL?
thanx
ahmad

Ahmad,
><i>does my design and configuration looks good to you guys?</i>
Is correct.
><i>where will i setup the HTTP client and where will i specify the URL?</i>
Take a look at this thread and check the HTTP Client code.
Copy the code and save it as a HTML file and you have the HTTP Cliet ready. GIve the details of your server, sender service, interface etc and trigger the call to XI.
In a real time scenario, you will need to use the URL used in the HTTP Client code from your WebApplication to trigger the call to XI.

OEL ldap client setup with SSL against OID using either ldaps or starttls

Hi, I've got OID 11.1.1.1.0 running with SSL enabled on port 3132. It's running in mode 2, SSL Server Authentication mode (orclsslauthentication is set to 32). I'd like to setup my OEL 5.3 and Solaris 10 ldap clients to connect to OID using SSL for user authentication. I have everything already working on the non-SSL port (3060), but I need to switch over to SSL. So far I can't get it to work on either OEL or Solaris. Does anyone out there know how to configure the client to use SSL?
Here's my /etc/ldap.conf file on OEL 5.3.
timelimit 120
bind_timelimit 120
idle_timelimit 3600
nss_initgroups_ignoreusers root,ldap,named,avahi,haldaemon,dbus,radvd,tomcat,radiusd,news,mailman,nscd,gdm
URI ldaps://FQDN:3132/
port 3132
ssl yes
host FQDN
base dc=DOMAIN,dc=com
pam_password clear
tls_cacertdir /etc/oracle-certs
tls_cacertfile /etc/oracle-certs/oid-test-ca.pem
tls_ciphers SSLv3
# filter to AND with uid=%s
pam_filter objectclass=posixaccount
#The search scope
scope sub
I have /etc/nsswitch.conf set to check for files first, then ldap
passwd: files ldap
shadow: files ldap
group: files ldap
Here's my /etc/openldap/ldap.conf file
URI ldaps://FQDN:3132/
BASE dc=DOMAIN,dc=com
TLS_CACERT /etc/openldap/cacerts/oid-test-ca.pem
TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/openldap/cacerts
TLS_REQCERT allow
TLS_CIPHERS SSLv3
The oid-test-ca.pem is a self-signed cert from the OID server. I also have the hash file configured.
4224de9f.0 -> oid-test-ca.pem
I can run ldapsearch using ldaps and it works fine.
ldapsearch -v -d 1 -x -H ldaps://FQDN:3132 -b "dc=DOMAIN,dc=com" -D "cn=user,cn=users,dc=DOMAIN,dc=com" -w somepass -s sub objectclass=* | more
But when I run the 'getent passwd' command, it only shows me my local user accounts and none of my ldap accounts. I also can't SSH in using a ldap account.
Solaris 10 is actually a whole other beast...I'm using the native Solaris ldap client (not PADL based) and I don't think it even works with SSL unless you're using the default ports (389/636).
Does anyone out there know how to setup the client-side for ldap authentication using SSL? Any tips, howto docs, or advice are appreciated. Thanks!

Hello again...
after some research and work together with Oracle Support I found out how to get it to work:
1. You have to create your own ConfigSet in OID using
SSL-Server-Authentication
(OpenSSL seems not to support SSL-encryption-only).
The following link shows on how to do that:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/oid/oidhtml/oidqs/html_masters/a_port01.htm
2. Add the following lines to your $HOME/ldaprc
TLS_CACERT /home/frank/oid-caroot.pem
TLS_REQCERT allow
TLS_CIPHERS SSLv3
ssl on
tls_checkpeer no
oid-caroot.pem is the CA-Root Certificate you got
during step 1
3. you should now be able to use ldapsearch using SSL
If you still can't connect using SSL you may have run into another issue with OpenSSL which affects systems using OpenSSL version 0.9.6d and above. The problem seems to be caused by an security fix which may not be compliant with the SSL implementation of Oracle.
I opened an Bug for that problem with RedHat. This Bug Description also includes an proposal for an Patch which solves the problem (but may introduce some security risks). See the Bug at RedHat:

From ACS - Radius we have choose a Group x( named as Mac-address group )
All the wireless Client ( laptops ) mac-address are added as add username option and enter username
as mac-address & enter the mac-address as pwd second option of password TAB.

Hi Akber,
I think you didnt understood what i was trying to say here :-( No problem..I will explain my theory again.Your requirment is to autheticate user from ACS internal database (you have already added the MAC address as the username on your ACS internal database) as well as from ACS external database (in your case this is AD).
What i was saying is when when authetication request comes to raidus server it checks its internal database and if it find a valid username and password (here it will the MAC address and password which you have entered to the ACS database) the ACS will not query the external database (in your case the AD) for authetication.
You can not have ACS to look in to both MAC and AD database at the same time.
Hope this clears your doubt.

How to setup mail client in Data Integrator 11.7 to make use of mail_to()

How to setup mail client in Data Integrator 11.7 to make use of mail_to() function.
I am using mail_to() function in one of my job to know the status of source file. If source file is not ready, our DI job should fail and send mail notification with reason for failure.
But mail_to() function is not sending any mail. I guess I need to set up email client.
Any one please help to resolve this issue.
Thanks
Phani

From the DI documentation that comes with the installation:
To use this function, a mail client must be installed and running on the Job
Server computer that calls the function. The login account for the mail client
must have the same user name and password as the Data Integrator service.
The type of client varies by the operating system:
u2022 If the Job Server is on a computer running the Windows operating
system, then the mail client must comply with MAPI (message application
programming interface). In addition, the mail client must be configured as
the default mail client. For example, Microsoft Outlook is a MAPI-based
mail client.
If the Job Server is on a computer running the UNIX operating system,
then the mail client must be mailx-compliant.
So:
Mail client installed and configured and set as default
Mail client uses the same credentials as the job server service
Or use another function: smtp_to();
If still not working or you are not allowed to use an installed mailclient on your box, then try Blat: http://www.blat.net/

B1_Sharing Folder Client setup .Exe Problem.

Dear All,
In my Server Client setup .Exe it's not showing Under B1_Sharing Folder but last month i saw setup .exe. is it Corrupted Beacuse of Virus in my server. is it true ? I need to Install Client Machines through Server B1_Sharing folder but when iam accessing through run it's not showing setup .exe for Client only not for DIAPI and in server also it's not showing for Client what i have to do ? we need to Install SAP or is there any solution Please Guide me. we are using SAP B1 2005B PL 40.
Regds,
Samapth Kumar Devunuri.

Hi Samapth,
There are so many possiblities that your setup exe file could be deleted by someone either in mistake or moved to somewhere else.
You can search whole drive to find out if there are any copies in other place. If not, you can download it again from SAP portal.
Thanks,

How does automatic client setup work ?

How does automatic client setup work in the clients connected to a standard leopard server ?
I used a standard leopard server and I was so happy about the automatic configuration of my leopard clients. Utility Directory setups all the applications in the right way.
Now I have an advanced leopard server and I have lost this option. Can I reproduce it in any way? (For example with terminal commands).
Any help is appreciated...

I suppose I could, but I'd prefer to at least have a working hypothesis first before changing things around. Noone out there knows how this auto vid detection works?

Adding groups to delegate in ical client

I've got iCal server working but would really like to be able to delegate to a group instead of adding 30 odd names in one at a time.
I have the groups working correctly for AFP with Workgroup manager. Was hoping iCal server would just use these groups to delegate in iCal client but obviously not since they don't appear when I type them in.
So do I need to setup groups in a global address book for this to work? Where does the iCal client try to read its delegates from?
Discussed here:
http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf= 1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fsupport.osxplain.de%2Fcontent%2F4%2F1%2Fde%2Fgruppenkontakte.ht ml&sl=de&tl=en
and here
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2140884&tstart=0
Been having a dabble but scared I'm going to break something!

Hi-
Were you able to delegate to a group via the command line? I've been trying and although the command goes through, the resource or location does not show up in an individual user's iCal account under the delegation tab. I too want to avoid adding 40+ users manually!
Thanks,
Matt
