SMB issue 10.4 client and 10.5 server solved?

I searched for days to solve the problem to connect via SMB from a 10.4 client on shared files on 10.5 server. But I did not find any answer except unable guest access (what is no real solution).
Why this error code -36 appears when trying to connect from the client (because encrypted password IS enabled)?
Why SMB still works using 10.5 clients and Windows PC's?
Why SMB works when guest access is unabled, but connected with defined accounts?
Does anybody can answer this questions?
Best regards,
Tom
Settings:
10.5.3 Server version
virtual LAN environment
mixed network (Mac, Windows)

I had a similar issue and I was able to make things a bit better by letting all users have access to SMB under the server access settings. You can still limit who has access to each individual share. I still have some other odd issues but I can at least connect.

  • 10.6 Client and 10.7 Server Open Directory

    I´ve got an Mac Mini running Lion Server. It´s configured as an Open Directory Server.
    And I´ve got some 10.6 Clients running on the same local network.
    All Clients have the Mini Server as DNS Server.
    And now I want to use NetworkAccounts form the 10.7 Server on the 10.6 Clients.
    I´ve connected the 10.6 Clients to the Server (without SSL) and all Clients say "Network Accounts available".
    But if I try to log in on the Client it just shakes the login window. I´ve tried it on all my Clients with different Accounts but nothing worked.
    It just won´t work! But why? Can you please help me?
    What I´m doing wrong? Or is the combination of 10.6 Clients and 10.7 Server not Supported by OpenDirectory on 10.7 Server ?
    Thank you !

    Check your authentication against the server from one of the clients using the following command:
    dscl /LDAPv3/<server name or IP> authonly <shortname of an account that cannot login>
         The server name should be the same name or IP you used when binding your 10.6 client to a 10.7 server.
    If you get the response "Failed to authenticate user <shortname> (tDirStatus: -14103)" you are having the same issue I was having. I found an answer to this, but you are not going to like it.
    Apparently Workgroup manager and Server.app deal with accounts differently. If you are using Workgroup Manager to import a long list of accounts, don't. Server.app needs to write an addition setting that is not part of Workgroup manager or in Passenger I doesn't work correctly with accounts that have home folders that are not local. Here are the steps I used to resolve the issue:
    Export all your accounts and groups
    Using Server Admin, demote your OD to a standalone directory
    Once the demotion is complete, use Server.app to promote your server to an OD Master
    Update: I've not found it to make a difference if you use server.app or Server Admin to configure your Open Directory Master.
    Once the server is again an Open Directory Master, import the users that you exported using Server.app instead of Workgroup Manager.
    If you are importing groups, set the Home Directory by editing the account in Server.app before importing groups to avoid overwriting your group settings. Thankfully, you can select multiple accounts at a time.
    Import your groups using Server.app
    Verify group membership and test the loginsIf you test the login using the dscl command from above, you should get no error after entering the password, but as long as you have a bound client, you should be able to login at this point.
    Hope this reaches you in time to help.

  • 10.8 client  and 10.6 server email pop and imap problem

    Hi Guys ,
    My problem is 10.8 client and 10.6 server.
    10.6 server have email server running (pop and imap), when i configure same email account (pop) on 10.7 machine  and 10.8 machines , 10.7 machine works , but 10.8 pop does not working
    let me explaing further :
    when i use 10.8 mail application to  setup pop mail account it does not connecting . But  i used the same account to connect imap it connect on 10.8 machine.
    the same mail account connect to another 10.7 machine  with POP and IMAP for testing reason , it works with out any issues
    POP server is running and this email account's users profile enable POP and IMAP mail settings.
    thanks in advance.

    Try checking the Authentication Type for the POP account.  It is located in Mail > Preferences > Accounts > selected account > Advanced
    10.8 tends to use Apple Token.  I think you will need to use a type of MD5 Challenge-Response or Password.

  • Issue with Information broadcasting and pre-cal server in SAP BI

    Hi Experts,
    I have issue with information Broadcasting and Pre-cal server. I have a worrkbook whcih runs from information broadcasting in pre-cal server. Workbook is desinged on single query and workbook contains visual basic code. workbook has a variable which is controlled by Control query in information broadcasting.
    I have 20 employees every month I need to send workbook via e-mail from information broadcasting.  The problem is sometimes all 20 employees will recieve e-mails and sometimes not. I identified there is something wrong in workbook or in pre-cal server.
    because after workbook calculation in pre-cal server is not pushing to SOST so there is something wrong in workbook or in pre-cal server.
    I closely observed pre-cal server front end log. There are few operations performing on workbook in pre-cal server
    like Open workbook, Calculate workbook, Save woorkbook and close workbook. In success case pre-cal sever is performing all the operations but in failure case pre-cal server is missing Close workbook case.
    Below log In pulled from pre-cal server
    Can you please tell what could be the problem.

    Hi Ravikanth,
    Thank you very much for the reply
    I went into RSPRECADMIN and clicked on 'Display Current Queue'.  There we have 3 sections
    1) Queue Overview of Open Precalculations
    I can see this section is always blank after running IB also
    2) Queue Overview of Current Precalculations
    In this section I can see an entry after running IB and duration is changing. but some time workbook in this section will never processed but the duration column is changing may be something is happening at this stage.
    If the entry is not proccessed in this section and IB SM37 job will never end. I manually cancelled the job from SM50.
    Don't why the workbook is taking long time and will never end even though I cancelled the SM37 IB job.
    3) Queue Overview of Proccessed Error-Free Precalculations
    All the error free workbooks which means all pre-cal server completed workbook calculation and sent to SOST.
    I manually ran the workbook for all the 20 employees I can't find any pop-up message (earlier we have pop-up windows appearing because of VB code and when report returns no data and we fixed the pop-up issues)
    Can you please help me further to trace the error.
    Thank you
    Narendra

  • Need help regarding Simple Data Client and Simple Data Server VIs

    Hi everyone.
    I have a simple objective. I just want to test the 2 example VIs, "Simple Data Client" and "Simple Data Server" between 2 computers. I just want to check whether is this working between the 2 computers.
    What I have done for now is that I changed the "address", from "localhost" in the "Simple Data Client.vi" to the IP address of the computer running the "Simple Data Server". I runned the "Simple Data Server" VI in one of the computers first followed by the "Simple Data Client" in the other computer. Nothing is received and the client just timed out.
    Can anyone please help me troubleshoot and tell me what are the possible problems for this? Are there any wires connections between 2 computers that I am missing or any other configurations I have to make before I can successfully do this?
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Jonathan

    Hi Lee.P.
    I understand that. I was just feeling frustrated about the project not working. Sincere apologies from me.
    I was wrong about the error number. It is not Error 60. It is Error 59 - The network is down, unreachable, or has been reset.. Yes, I have tried changing the port numbers at the 2 computers when trying to send/receive.
    Could anything else be the problem?
    Regards,

  • One RMI client and mutliple RMI server implementation

    Hi,
    We are planning to implement a RMI. In the design approach we are planning to have 1 client and mutiple RMI server and each RMI server register to a system. All the RMI server will have the same functionality. The decision to call particualr RMI server is done at runtime based on some parameter. I am not clear on how to implement the same as I am new to RMI technology, so it would be great if you can suggest some good approach for doing the same.
    Thanks,
    Ramreddy

    greetings,
    your client and server are in the same class?
    i.e. server object (interface implementation instance)
    and lookup are within the same execution thread
    i believe this defeats the purpose of RMI
    the objective is to utilize object methods on different machines
    otherwise, you can just use a local method within your server/client mainline (of course, it ceases to become "remote" at that point)
    logistically, there is also the problem of the runtime not being able to resolve the skeleton/proxy components correctly (since it's probably searching for a client stub which doesn't exist...); maybe you could fake it out by compiling a phony client class - again, this won't provide any advantage but it might run
    perhaps if you shared your system/network setup and a bit more about your design objectives someone in this forum could provide some assistance
    good luck,
    D

  • Informatica 9.5 client and 9.6 server

    Kids, the answer is extremely simple: Informatica does NOT support any combination of server X and clients Y. Both versions have to match exactly. Yes, there have been times when e.g. a 8.6.1 Hotfix 5 client could be used with a 8.6.1 Hotfix 9 server. But those times are gone.Nowadays Informatica requests that client and server versions have to match exactly, including hotfix version. You are not allowed to use e.g. a 9.6.1 HF1 client with a 9.6.1 HF2 server. Everything else is just a game of luck and may destroy your repositories. And it's not supported, so in case you're killing your repository this way you're on your own. And to make that clear: I don't give a damn about whether anyone tried it and didn't find any errors. It's not supported by Informatica, period. There's no use in discussing this any further. Regards,Nico

    If i have informatica server as 9.6 but my informatica client is still 9.5. will it still work.  I know infa 9.6 server and infa 9.1 have issues. We cannot access 9.6 with 9.1 client. is it the same with 9.6 server and 9.5 client??

  • Error 61 when sending data from client and back from server.vi

    Trying to generate and send a data from client.vi and adding the numbers generated and sending it back to the client .In client the data is received only once and an error 61 occurs .How do I get rid of this error?I have attached the two files for reference
    Attachments:

    You can certainly use and application started by WebStart to send data to a server.
    However, the Sandbox restrictions allow you to contact the server the application was loaded from without asking for permission first (i.e. signing your application and requesting the proper permissions in your JNLP file).
    The JNLP BasicService can be used to retrieve the URL (and therefore the server) the application was loaded from.

  • IPhone SDK : Communication between iPhone client and a remote server

    Hi,
    This is w.r.t iPhone Cocoa Touch native application.
    i need to populate my application 's data from a remote application server ( which in turn connects to the database) . I require some tips in the communication between client sitting on the iPhone and the remote application server. I am planning to proceed in XML transaction way.
    I referred the SeismicXML sample application provided by Apple. In this sample,client reads the physically existing xml file from @"http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/catalogs/eqs7day-M2.5.xml"; and the client parses the xml file and display the content on the table view.
    i have following 2 queries ,
    1. I do not want to read from a physically present file,i want the data to be transferred on the go.
    Means, request should be sent from the client to a application server and the server process returns the data in form of xml file ( but its not creating any physical xml file) .
    Basically i am looking for request - response concept.
    2. Can we call a java process(which returns xml data) running on a remote server from the cocoa touch client.? If not java process,what would be other best way...
    i am going through the Apple provided frameworks. Do any of the iPhone SDK frameworks support this request? If some one has any idea on the above mentioned queries, pls help me.
    any pointers will also be helpful.
    It might be too early to talk about these,but i have to take some business decision related on this.
    thanks in advance.

    You already know how to send a string via HTTP Post? And you know how to make XML into a string? Put the two together.

  • Re: Informatica 9.5 client and 9.6 server

    Duly noted, thank you - and thank you for sharing the real-world experience. I will avoid server/client mis-matches at all costs.

    Nico -Addressing your customers as "Kids"? "Don't give a damn"? "no use in discussing this any further"? Really? That's rather harsh and unprofessional - especially coming from an employee of Informatica, don't you think?... Had you been drinking?  There's nothing wrong with asking the questions. Sure, I think it's pretty easy to assume Informatica wouldn't officially support such a mismatch, but you know what else Informatica doesn't "support"? running their products on overprovisioned virtual environments - which is ridiculous considering over-provisioning is the reason many companies go to virtualized hardware in the first place. So sometimes the official statement of support is nothing more than a technicality. Of course a customer should not expect the vendor to officially list support for myriad combinations of client/server versions, but that doesn't mean it can't work - you even state that in your reply regarding v8. And you know, in the real world outside of a lab environment, there are some very legitmate reasons why such a mis-match scenario might be the only option, at least for a short period of time. In my case it's because my company requires all workstation software to go through a lenghty certification process before it can be packaged for distribution, but I need to get my upgrade going on the server side asap. We've got the 960HF1 client already certified, and the 960HF2 client certification is underway, but I need to upgrade to 960HF2 server now. The reason I asked is to try to find out if anyone in the real world is doing this and if there are risks. I wasn't really interested in the "official" response considering that's what I get from Informatica Global Support after paying who knows how many hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual support fees. What about another hypothetical scenario: an installation with hundreds of users goes through an upgrade but not all those users get the client install completed immediately. A developer "really needs to get some work done now" and doesn't have time to perform the client install so they use the old client with the new server. I'm sure this happens multiple times per day, every day among Informatica customers in the real world so maybe Informatica should consider developing clients that can more easily tolerate a minor version or hotfix mis-match. Makes sense, doesn't it? Backwards compatibility is certainly not a new concept... I know our team in India routinely has major problems trying to get their clients updated in a timely fashion due to the fact that the client tools package is a whopping 2.8 GB - that can take hours to download in some places, assuming the transfer isn't interrupted... Maybe next time check your labcoat and attitude at the door before coming in, thanks.

  • Encoding issues with Instant Client and Win-1252 database

    Hi,
    I'm connecting to a Win-1252-encoded Oracle XE database from a Ruby on Rails application via ruby-oci8.
    NLS_CHARACTERSET WE8MSWIN1252
    NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16
    When the database and the application reside on the same physical server, the application retrieves the correct characters from the tables. But if the database resides on a different machine, then I use Oracle Instant Client; unfortunately the characters I get back from the database are then incorrect ('e' instead of 'é', 'a' instead of 'à', etc.).
    Is there some kind of setting (or another version of the Instant Client) that I can use to fix this encoding problem?
    Thanks,
    Chris.

    Hi,
    >>then I use Oracle Instant Client
    It's possible that maybe a NLS environment variables configuration problem ... For more information, I advise you to take a look at [url http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/htdocs/nls_lang%20faq.htm] NLS_LANG FAQ
