Time Capsule access control

Hi:
I am looking at the time capsule for the following:
1) Two Time Machine users
2) A shared folder for music and stuff
The macbook users should not have access to each others backup, other users should not have access to backups. Preferably, they should not even be able to see these partitions exist.
- Does the Time Capsule support such a multiuser scheme?
- Is it possible to assign space for each TM user and the shared folder? (2x200+100 GB).
- Is it possible to encrypt backups individually for each user and leave the shared folder unencrypted?
Wireless auth will be WPA2 enterprise EAP-TLS against a FreeRADIUS server, but there is no auth on wired connection. It would be useful if access to the disk using wireless connection would require no further authentication.
Thanks, Erik

I have a Time Capsule where I have set up a wireless network access list…and extended the network using an Airport Express unit. The Airport Express unit also has settings for an Access Control list. Do these need to be the same as the those for the network from TC that it is extending…or does that happen automatically…and if not what on earth are they for?
Unfortunately, they are not automatically applied to each base station in an extended network. You would have to manually enter the exact same list in each base station.

  • Fingerprint Readers Time & Attendance - Access Control

    I have to develop a java program for Fingerprint Readers Time & Attendance - Access Control.
    Please Help me how can i build up program in java with Multispectral Sensor for Fingerprint Spoof Detection
    also about hardware.

    It is possible to work-around the issue, but some manual steps are needed:
    1.  delete "smihlp.sys" from "c:\program files\thinkvantage fingerprint software"
    2.  run "services.msc" and stop the service "Windows Biometric Service"
    3.  delete the file "031D23AD-15AF-4e25-B7B3-DE34893097ED.DAT" from "c:\Windows\system32\WinBioDatabase"
    4.  reboot the computer  (important!!)
    5.  now try to enroll some fingers
    This should make it possible to enroll fingerprint and use it to log into Windows, until the bug can be fixed in some future version of BIOS and/or Fingerprint software.

  • Time-based access controls

    Hello all,
    Is there a time-based access control that can be configured for a 4.2 WCS+WiSM setup either in the WCS or controller? Or am I limited to the ACLs for my Wireless VLAN on the switch. Ultimately, I would like to be able to configure certain APs to accept/deny connections at specific times of the day. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and help.
    Charles

    Currently, IP and IPX extended access lists are the only functions that can use time ranges. The time range allows the network administrator to define when the permit or deny statements in the access list are in effect. Prior to this feature, access list statements were always in effect once they were applied. Both named or numbered access lists can reference a time range.
    For the further description following URL for the Time-Based Access Lists will help you.

  • How can I set the time in Time-based Access control ??

    I live in Denmark, where we use the 24 hour system.
    So I want to set the time-based access control to from 7.00 in the morning to 2.00 at night, but every time the Timecapsule says wrong time format, I can use the night time 23.59, but thats not late enough.

    Set two controls.. 7 to 23.59 and 00.01 to 00.20
    This is common as the control cannot handle times longer than 1day.

  • Time limits for time capsule access

    I want to set time limits for individual devices on my Time Capsule network. How do I set this up??

    You will need a hardware address for each wireless device that you want to be able to control. If you do not have the device listed, it will have "default" access to the wireless network, which means that it will have unlimited access at all times.
    If you are having difficulty finding a hardware address for a given device, turn off all the wireless devices that will connect to the network except your Mac. You know the hardware address of your Mac already, correct?
    Turn on one other wireless device and look for the info about that device. Then turn on the next device to get info about that device. You may not see a device name and instead see something like 10.0.1.x for the device name. Click on the 10.0.1.x display to reveal more information about the device, including the hardware address.
    You can set up rules for each device on either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme and the settings will automatically be transferred to the "other" device, so you only have to enter the rules on one device.
    Open Airport Utility again and click on the Time Capsule if that is your "main" base station or router. Otherwise click on the AirPort Extreme if that is the main base station.
    Click Edit
    Click the Network tab at the top of the window
    Look toward the bottom of the next window and make sure that there is a check mark next to Enable Access Control. Later, you will need to make sure that the other router you have is also enabled.
    Click on Timed Access Control
    Here you will see the "default' rule for the network of Unlimited Access. This means that any device that has not been assigned a specific rule will be able to connect to the network at any time. Leave this rule alone.
    Click on the + (plus) button at the bottom of the Wireless Clients box
    Type in a device name next to Description.....example.....iPad
    Type in the hardware address of the device next to MAC Address
    You probably want to have the rule in effect Everyday, so leave that box the same. If you click on the box, you will see that you are able to have the rule in effect with a number of other options.
    Click on the All Day box and change that to Between
    Double click on each time display to edit the start time and end time for the device each day. For example, the device might be able to connect Everyday, Between 9 AM and 10 PM. It is possible to have multiple rules for the same device by clicking the + button in this area to add another time slot.
    Click Save
    Click Timed Access Control again and repeat the process for the next device, etc until entries for all wireless devices that you want to control are complete
    Click Update to save all of the settings and the Time Capsule will restart in 30 seconds.
    Be sure to enter a check mark on the other router that you have to Enable Timed Access and Update to save the setting.  This will transfer the stored settings from the Time Capsule to the AirPort Extreme or vice versa.
    Good luck.

  • Time Capsule Access?

    Is there anyway to restrict or limit individual Mac/PC access to the Internet, both wired and wireless, through the Airport Utility using the latest generation Time Capsule?

    The controls in the TC are at best primitive.. time control for wireless.. that is the grand total.
    The idea for parental control with apple is to control on the end device. IMHO it is much easier to control at the router.. for that you need a brand with more controls.. particularly things like Quota or QoS are strictly outside of the Apple purview.. and hard to find anywhere actually, although some offer site restrictions. I recommend a Netgear WNDR3800 running gargoyle firmware. Never assume kids cannot find a work around though.

  • Time Capsule access is slow

    I started this on a separate thread, 'cause my problem seems to differ a bit from most reported here.
    After updating to Lion, I noticed that file transfers to the Time Capsule disk are much slower. I'm not talking about Time Machine backups as most people have noticed (these, believe it or not, have now gone back to normal speeds after the first slow backups), but manually transferring a file onto the disk. It takes me around 15 minutes to transfer a 100MB file - and the progress bar is highly irregular! These slow speeds happen both via Ethernet or via wifi...
    Really not sure what my options could be on this one. It takes longer to transfer a file to my TC disk connected via Ethernet than to transfer it to another Mac on the same network via wifi! My other Macs (Snow Leopard machines) on the network can access the Time Capsule disk at normal speeds, even via wifi!
    Thanks for any input on this!

    Hi Pedro,
    I'm having the exact same issue as you, whilst transfering files using finder to the Time Capsule or a USB drive attached to the Time Capsule it used to be quick really quick specially via Ethernet connection, after upgrading to Lion the speed is appaling and it can come to a stand still. I have a 100gb iTunes collection on the disk that used to work fine with Snow Leopard now I can't access it. Same goes for the multiple iPhoto collections I have there.
    I have tried to format USB drive and Time Capsule HD as well it did not help. Sometimes the transfers can take ages other times they just stop and Finder can be seen on activity monitor as being hanged.
    To rule out a problem with the Time Capsule I connected the Mac at work to a windows network I logged in and presto! All network transfers were bad in terms of speed, really bad!
    Decided to re-install Lion from scratch but alas the problem is still there.... appareltly Lion 10.7.1 is coming quicker than previously thought....

  • ITunes library on Time Capsule accessed by multiple accounts - Not working!

    I moved my iTunes library from an external hard drive to my new Time Capsule (it is in the Data folder). I can access it fine from my user account, but my husband who has an account on the same MacBook Pro cannot. When he tries to access the Data folder it has a red circle with a white line indicating that he does not have access. I have used Airport Utility to change the file sharing (enable file sharing with time capsule password and airport disk guests access read and write). But still he has no access on his account. Please help! Thanks!

    I have my iTunes library on a Time Capsule. I can access it from more than one user account without the problems described here. In fact, I can access it from more than one account simultaneously if more than one machine is on. I have not tried accessing from multiple accounts using Fast User Switching.
    The only think of that might be different is the location of the files. The iTunes Music folder is on the Time Capsule but not inside a Data folder. Each user's iTunes Library files are stored in the usual location in their home directory on the machines. iTunes' preferences are set to point to the folder on the Time Capsule.

  • Best file manager with SMB and streaming support? Time Capsule access?

    Constantly having to jump through hoops it seems, because of no file manager in iOS. Another simple scenario: have 2 disks connected to my Apple Time Capsule. Can accesss them with Android phones, always in trouble finding a good app on iPhone. Any tips? Wish I could also stream my home videos, etc from these disks. Documents 5 (Readdle) can access them via SMB, but not stream, which is nasty for large videos.
    Thank you,
    Roman

    I was experiencing the same problem when I upgraded to a Time Capsule. To fix the problem remove all personal file sharing port mapping settings. Then make sure that the enable  file share, and enable over WAN is on and checked for the TC, then update the TC. While that's updating go into the server app and remove any old file sharing protocols from the TC on the server app. Next add a new custom protocol by hitting the + name it file share and set the port to 140. hit the update button and wait for it to finish. Once that's finish go back to the airport utility and find the newly made file share protocol by selecting it under port mapping for the TC. If you don't have the newly made one in there make a new one your self. Name it the same as you did in the server app and set the public TCP ports to 140 and the private TCP ports to 548, make sure the private IP address is set to the same as your server in the reserve. Update the time capsule and you should be able to access both by putting in the appropriate afp://www.yourserver.com:140 for the server and afp://www.yourserver.com:548  for the TC. Have fun, lion server can be a little fussy!

  • Unable to connect to Time Capsule: "Access the volumes and files locally"

    I've been experiencing a problem for about two months now with no ability to connect to my Time Capsule. I have other systems in my household including being able to access from a Windows desktop and another older MacBook.
    When I attempt to connect to the Time Capsule, I receive an error "The server <Capsule Name> is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally."
    I've attempted various fixes including changing the network sharing name of my laptop and time capsule name via AirPort Utility as suggested in the following link without success:
    http://positivelyglorious.com/software-media/snow-leopard-afp-access-the-volume- and-files-locally/
    I've also seen that this was previously posted late last fall without any satisfactory resolution at:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10526171
    And none of the troubleshooting helpful hints in the following link are applicable or resulted in any resolution of my problem:
    http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html
    With now two months of no backup, this is getting a bit ridiculous. I had hoped a OSX update would have helped but as of yet no glory.
    I would GREATLY appreciate any help any of you might be able to provide!
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Several volumes and folders have been shared and they are accessible within LAN. The problem is that I cannot even connect to the server, even though the connection has been established. Mac OS X always seems to think that it has already been connected and they are readily available but it's not listed under Network.
    Looking at other topics, this seems to be a prevalent problem but I don't find any solution for this yet.

  • Time Capsule access goes away, after new comps with vista

    Hi. I am not a computer person, but I work in a small nonprofit and our IT person has gone on vacation. our network keeps creashing and we loose access to the time capsule data. This all started happening after we installed 2 new computeres with Windows Vista and 2 new laptops with Vista were added to the network. Can somebody please help me out. I can't get any work done! Thanks =)

    The question is, does the orange blinking light matter and or is it indicating that I am improperly using the machine?
    The amber light is like the "Check Engine" light in your car. It blinks for a reason......the Time Capsule has a message for you.
    That message might be that there is a firmware update available for the Time Capsule that needs to be installed....or....that AirPort Utility has detected that the Time Capsule is not configured correctly to work with the Xfinity router that you are now using.
    To see the message.....open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the amber dot
    Then look for a Status setting, and click on the small amber dot there
    A message will appear to tell you why the Time Capsule is whining, along with a suggested action to fix the issue.
    If you are still having difficult, we for you to post back with the exact message that you see.

    That is a plan.. I am not sure it is the best plan.. what application are you going to use to run the music?? If you mean itunes then no.. you may as well leave it on the computer.. photos.. hmm.. again what are you going to do.. move the iphoto library to the TC.. but ipad cannot open it.. so you have to move raw photos.. and store them in an area without backup?? May also not be great plan.. but you need to work it out.. whatever you do.. remember the TC is unsafe place to store files. It is a backup target for Time Machine without any ability to backup itself (other than a manually initiated full disk backup).

  • Time Capsule Access Privileges

    I'm getting the message "you do not have the correct read, write and append privileges, please contact your system administrator or log in as a different user." I had to re-establish my Mac Book Pro using a time machine backup and started receiving this message afterward. It does not allow me to use my Time Capsule as the backup source. Resetting the time capsule didn't do anything.

    I am having the same problem, with the same error, but I can't see as I've done anything to prompt it. I have three computers backing up to my Time Capsule, and they're all getting this error. The day that this started happening I restored a couple files from the Time Capsule, but that's all I did that directly involved it.
    I called AppleCare and we tried a bunch of things and they said there's nothing I can do but reformat. Argh.
    Then I went into AirPort utility and set File Sharing to "Secure Shared Disks with accounts." I added all the machines that are backing up as accounts. This worked in as much as it let my computers try to back up to the Time Capsule. But it didn't work because they didn't recognize the old backups, and tried to start all new ones.
    So:
    a) does anybody know how to fix the primary problem, which is that the Time Capsule is giving the error "you do not have the correct read, write and append privileges, please contact your system administrator or log in as a different user"--even though I am the system administrator?
    or
    b) does anybody know how to tell Time Machine to use the existing backups instead of creating new ones?
    EDIT: searching the forums more closely, I find a lot of people having this error, and no one having a solution. There is a LOT of frustration about this. Apple appears to be completely silent about it.
    Here is a discussion that had some suggestions to try, they don't seem to work 100% of the time, but they might be worth a try if you aren't willing to reformat your time capsule yet.
