Virtual Domains and Aliases - the sequel

Ok pterobyte
I have successfully set up virtual domains and aliases on several systems including Mac OS 10.4 - now i'm trying to set up a brand new xserve to host a local domain and several virtual domains...
I have followed pterobytes method of creating virtual domains and aliases etc. However, whether I use /etc/postfix/aliases (for local users) or /etc/postfix/virtual for virtual users - I cannot get the mail to go to two addresses at the same time.
The mail.log only records the mail being sent to local mail box.
Here's an example:
local user example (remote.com is a remote domain where mail should be forwarded to as well as sent to local mail box.)
#aliases
local_guy [email protected], [email protected]
virtual user example
#virtual
[email protected] virtual_guy, [email protected]
"virtual.com" is set up as a virtual domain in SA Mail and mail.virtual.com is that users mail server in WGM.
BTW in pterobyte's latest pdf manual shortname 3 says "shortname3-x: aliases for e-mail address under shortname2" what does that mean?
As I said mail delievers correctly locally but does NOT go to the remote address. Does anyone have a clue what else I can look at?
anyone?
anyone?

Virtual domains and their installation

Hello again Alex,
and anyone else able to enlighten me.
Thank you all for your help the last time I was in need.
I'm setting up Postfix by editing the postfix files directly without using server admin due to it's limitations. Especially since I'm using an external GW in a DMZ along with an internal server delivering the mail.
And now I would like to add virtual domains using "Postfix virtual MAILBOX example: separate domains, non-UNIX accounts". Is this possible with OS X?
I have read what is on postfix.org, I have read what is in Alex's installation guide but there are a few things I'm not getting.
I've created the virtual domains and all that stuff but I'm not getting the creation of user access. Do you mean I actually need to create each and every user acessing mail in Workgroup manager?
Could you point me to some information that bypasses the use of server admin but is still usefull in setting up mail under OS X. I don't want to use SA since I do not want to ruin my manual setup of the Postfix files.
Kind regards
Hans

Are you then saying it would be easier to define the
users in workgroup manager and use a couple of
aliases for each user acessing mail?
Definitely easier, but with the limitations you already know.
Is it possible, using this method to use names like
[email protected], [email protected] etc. rather than
[email protected], [email protected] etc.
Sure, just follow my tutorial.
And when
logging into the mailservice do I then have to use
the full [email protected] as a user login name to
access the virtual mailboxes?
Yes, full name with domain.
And is it correct to assume that when using the
server for more than one domain I need to define the
first as a local domain and the rest as virtual
domains?
Yes (if you want to have "hans" as a different user in each domain).
Alex
P.S. Just make a backup fo main.cf so you can copy paste changes that might get hosed by Server Admin. Once your setup is complete, adding users through WGM or aliases through /etc/postfix/virtual will not touch main.cf

Weblogic-next, virtual domains and SSL

Hi
Current versions of WL (6.1 and below) do not support distinct
Certificates for each virtual domain. This means that we cannot
support multiple secure sites (HTTP-S based) using the virtual domain feature
in WL. And this affects us as we are an ASP, and our customers need distinct domain
names.
Another issue is that the security realm (RDBMS, File, whatever)
is shared amongst the virtual domains, so the authentication
database is essentially common for all our customers.
Will these problems be fixed in the upcoming major release of
WebLogic ? I'd greatly appreciate it someone within WL can
send me an answer - group post/private. (I'm also trying the sales/support channels).
thanx

smcnulty,
You are referring to Cyrus ACLs which apply to IMAP and not SMTP. As I said IMAP logins work just fine, it was SMTP that didn't accept the user. User creation with WGM works well, no problems here. Your tips may surely be of help to someone having IMAP/POP issues.
pterobyte:
Alex saved the day (again). You were certainly right that postfix didn't even know about the configurations I made in /etc/postfix/virtual. Everything is working fine now and I am only waiting for my DNS transfer to finally carry over. I only need to setup a backup MX, nothing more to do.
Thanks

PS: Sorry, the system chokes an error upon awarding stars and marking as solved. Will try again at a later date.

How to Create a default domain and deploy the application in jdeveloper using a script or code (not manually)

Hi ,
I have installed Jdev using silent installation .
Now I have some apps already created I want to create a default domain and then deploy apps into that through ant or any script?
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks and Regards,
Vivek Pemawat

We still don't know what you want to archive with here.
Cvele_new_account got you a pointer on how to install the DefaultDomain.
Tip: if you want to know or see the exact command line jdev uses to install the DefaultDomain, open jdev and in the application server navigator right click on hte integrated server and select configure DefualtDomain. In the log window you see the command line with all parameters.

After Installing Oracle Virtual Box and changing the network adapter to bridged mode cant access my server

Hi ,
I have installed Oracle Virtual box on windows server 2008 r2 hosted on 1und1.de.
Till installtion and setting up untun on virtualbox it was fine, but once i changed the adapater to bridged mode. I immediatly lost connectivity with my server and now cant access.
It is now 2 days i cant access my server and neither ping it, also the website hosted on it is also down.
The 1und1 has following 2 options
1) using putty i can connect to server command prompt using administrator but cant run any gui application
2) Server Rescue mode: where i get special environment to start, stop services, access registry and command prompt.
Till now i have tried lot of setting to enable network connectivity but not able to success

Hi,
According to the result of "ipconfig /all", the physical adapter dosen't appear.
Please check if the physical network adapter works properly. We can verify this in Device Manager.
To open Device Manager by using the Windows interface
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
Click Hardware and Sound.
Click Device Manager.
If the network adapter is working properly, please make sure that the Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4) has been checked in the properties of the physical network adapter.
If issue persists, please try to uninstall the Oracle Virtual box.
Best Regards.

Virtual mail domain and POP problem

Hi all,
I am currently on my 7th or 8th install of 10.5 server, so far without managing to make a working mailsetup with virtual domains and virtual users. That is, it works when my customers use an IMAP-client (or webmail via squirrelmail), but it doesn't work when using a POP-client. I have yet to discover the cause of my problems, as the server-logs show perfectly good logins – but unfortunately nothing gets downloaded to the client.
I currently host 15 domains, which until my purchase of 10.5 server were hosted on a computer running 10.4 client-version with dovecot as mailserver, a custom DNS-setup and various custominstalled supporting apps. On the old client, everything was running smoothly (albeit slowly, due to the old hardware), but as I have stated, on my new server I can't get POP-access to work.
When I do a fresh install of 10.5 server, I can log in to the accounts on the primary domain with either POP3 or IMAP, but as soon as I set up a virtual domain, POP-access to all accounts ceases to function.
I suspect Cyrus configuration to be the main culprit, since everything else seems to work as expected, but having no previous experience with cyrus, I have yet to find a solution.
If anyone has any pointers to a good source of cyrus-IMAP knowledge, I would be very grateful for any help.
/Lars

Hi Alex,
This is really strange, and it's also really bugging me!
I use OD. If I add several shortnames to a user, fqn and not-fqn, I can only log in with the first shortname and any of the fqn-names. However, only the login using the first shortname recieves any mail.
I dont know if you have any explanation as to why my setup doesn't include a /etc/postfix/virtual file or a virtualaliasmaps statement in main.cf, which is the only difference in my system that I registered compared to your guide.
This is some lines from mailaccess.log when logging in to an account using Outlook Express in XP (user info masked):

Running Virtual Domains on Mac OSX Server and Postfix

Just purchased Mac OS Server X and Installed it. I am begining to setup mail servevices and this is my question.I have been using FreeBSD 5.3 and Postfix. In the main.cf I had setup 3 virtual Domains and used Canonical Maps and virtual alias to get my mail to the proper mailboxes. Now do I have to do that here in the terminal screen manually adding the canonical maps and virtual alias in the main.cf or does Server admin do it automacticly when I setup the virtual domains?
Thanks
PowerMac G4 Digital Audio 533 Mhz. Mac OS X (10.4.2)

You can either go the manual editing route you were used to or use Server Admin. The results will be similar, but the approach different. Server Admin defines virtual domains differently (This is possible because postfix allows for different implementations.
I have written a Tutorial on OS X Virtual Mail Domains. You can download it here: http://osx.topicdesk.com/downloads/

Is it possible to save the adjusted virtual copy image and discard the original?

I have made a virtual copy of an image which I then adjusted in LR to the way I want to keep it. Now I am wondering either if there is a way to apply those adjustments easily to the original so I can then discard the virtual copy, or should I save the virtual copy and delete the original? I just don't need two images, one which is not a keeper. I also don't want to delete the original if the virtual copy depends upon its existence.
I want to keep images down to the one's I want and am working to delete those images which I will never use. Whichever is the best way to handle the above situation will enable me to do some much needed housekeeping to my catalog.
TIA,
Ken

You guys are pretty slick, no two ways about it. I think I'm learning Lightroom, but I'm just happy with it helping in my own situation. Some of you have far-reaching understanding of this wonderful program. Lightroom is a 'must' as I see it.
Ian, I've tried your method, as it seems easiest and most direct, I selected the VC and chose the menu item 'make copy original' and it did a 'conversion' or so it looked like, but the images still say 1 of 2 for the original with no modifications and 2 of 2 for the cropped and adjusted version. I am skeerd to delete the '1 of 2' version which I believe 'was' the original version before I chose the menu item. Now I'm not sure what I have.
Hal P Anderson, I tried your method and it did transfer the settings but not the crop, which I can understand why. I re-cropped the 1 of 2 to match the 2 of 2 version which is the virtual copy, and then selected the virtual copy and hit delete - the dialog box confirmed I was deleting the VC by asking if I wanted to delete this virtual copy. I felt more comfortable with that arrangement and now I'm sans VC with the original possessing the new settings.
Thanks to you both,
Ken

Mailman + Postfix + Virtual Domains

I'm going nuts trying to get this thing working... I spent the best part of yesterday getting Postfix and Courier working with Virtual Domains and a PostgreSQL backend. That's all working fine.
Now I've spent about the last 5 - 6 hours trying to get Mailman working -- obviously without any luck.
Can someone point me in the right direction? I tried installing from source, and following the 'official' installation manual, but that doesn't cover Virtual Domains very well (obviously not well enough to get it working at least).
*Then* I realized that their's a package in EXTRA for Mailman, so I wiped the source install I did, and installed the package, but I'm still stuck.
I think the main part of my problem, is the manual says that I should have a 'data/virtual-mailman' in the mailman installation directory, but I don't, and can't find any information on how it is created!
At the end of the day, I just need a single damn mail list on one of my virtual domains for a dozen people -- if anyone has an easier solution than this, please suggest!

Correct. My domain in question is ryla9810.org which has one alias that forwards to my gmail account (phil@), and I need one mail list with a dozen members (team@). The forward works, but the maillist is causing me grief

Set up virtual domain without Server Admin?

Hello all--
I need to set up mail service for a second domain on our Xserve. Don't want to use Server Admin, because by now I've tweaked postfix, cyrus, amavisd, spamassassin, etc so much that I'm afraid using Server Admin to make any config changes will break things. So can anyone point me to a thread or another website with instructions/tutorials on how to configure virtual host/virtual domains/local host aliases, etc without the use of Server Admin? Many thanks--

If you want to keep the same structure for your virtual domains and continue using WGM then there is little you need to do.
Create the users in WGM as virtual users (will need a shortname [email protected])
Edit /etc/postfix/virtual_domains and add the domain followed by a space andd "allow"
Issue sudo postmap /etc/postfix/virtual_domains
Issue sudo postfix reload
That's it.
If you want to use actual postfix style virtual domains then www.postfix.org is a good starting point.

Mailman virtual domains configuration - Anyone has been successfull?

Hello,
Is there any one out there that has manage to configure Mailman to work with virtual domains in a Mac OS X Server 10.3.9 enviroment??
Anyone??
I've tryied every setup and read everything in the web about postfix and mailman and I just cant get it to work.
If there is anyone out there that could show me his configuration I would mostly greatfull.

If I keep the aliases and the virtual-mailman hashes
in the postfix configuration I can have lists running
for local and virtual domains, right?
And we can have lists with the same name? And even
with the same name of the users in WG?
Once again, you can have the same name, be it for a user, be it for a list only ONCE per domain. A list and a user address are the same thing to postfix (they only difference is that a list adress is aliased to a mailman script). So they cannot exist twice in the same domain, but they can coexist in seperate VIRTUAL domains. Not in local host aliases.
In order to this works I must have in SA, Mail,
Advanced Settings, the virtual domain listed in the
local host alias?
Absolutely NOT! Virtual domains and local host aliases must be kept separate.

Virtual Domain Controllers in 2012 Failover Cluster. Time Skew

Hi All,
Not sure if this is the correct space for this topic, however i'll give it a go anyway.
We have a 2 Hosts (HP DL385) Windows Server 2012 Failover Cluster.
Storage is provided by a 12 Bay NAS with iSCSI connections (This is catering for CSV's and Quorum)
We are running 2 Virtual domain controllers (2008R2)
The issue we experience is that if the cluster goes down, and when it comes back online the time on the domain controllers (one or the other or both) skews by any where up to 3 days which causes havoc for our office until we can resync clocks with the PDCe.
Time Synchronisation Integration Service is disabled on both Domain Contollers
A few days back we need to reboot the storage on the cluster, and the tasks performed were as follows:
-Power off all virtual machines (Graceful Shutdown)
-Put all CSV's into maintenance mode
-Offline Disk Witness to Quorum
-Rebooted Storage (Waited until it came back online)
-Online Quorum Storage (Successful)
-Bring CSV's out of maintenance mode (Successful & Browsable)
-Power on all Virtual Machines (Successful)
This is where the time Skewed and caused headaches. The time for some reason went to 2 days 11hrs in the past on 1 domain controller.
With this DNS lookups failed to work, Cluster services failed, Cluster Aware Updating Failed, RDP to VM's (and Virtual Hosts) by DNS Name failed (Date time error)
There doesn't seem to be anything in the EventLog except for date/time stamp on events being 2 days in the past.
Now this is why i'm not sure if the issue is cause by fail over clustering, or is an issue with the domain controllers.
Any advice regarding this or if anyone has seen this behaviour before any info would be great
Thanks
Rob

Hi Rob,
Does both this two DCs on your cluster VM and there have not others DCs? Microsoft recommends that files for virtualized domain controllers be placed on non-CSV
disks, Non-CSV disks can be brought online without authentication. Because non-CSV disks can be brought online more easily.
For virtual machines that are configured as domain controllers, it is recommended that you disable time synchronization between the host system and guest operating
system acting as a domain controller. This enables your guest domain controller to synchronize time from the domain hierarchy, please confirm your PDC time is always correct.

Virtual domains vs alias

Awhile back I was posting quite a bit about mac mail and Windows AD questions. That was in prepartion to move a client from Powweb hosted pop/exchange to they're own Mail server.
I'm converting them this week but there was something I wanted to make sure could happen.
They essentially have 3 domains. Domain1 is the primary. Domain2 and Domain3 are for other purposes but all recieve mail most of which is forwarded.
Most of domain2 are just forwards to accounts on the primary. So that's just adding the [email protected] to the user's account? Does the gui create the alias in postfix automatically?
Domain3 however are not forwards. They are accounts for the owner's family domain. I'm guessing the best thing is to just create a seperate user account for those accounts and keep them seperate?
To allow this to be setup seperately on clients and devices (iphone, android, etc) should i just create a seperate accounts? user1 for [email protected] and user1a [email protected]? If there is a better way to accomplish besides a second user account I'm all for that.
My next question; users that have addresses for domain1 and domain2 listed on their account have the ability to respond with either address? That's using an email client like outlook or thunderbird? This isn't really a necessity as domain2 email addresses are just forwards in powweb to domain1 addresses. I was curious.
User1
[email protected]
[email protected]

If you have the email service turned on, creating a user automatically creates an email account under the domain that was setup for email. Apple does have virtual domains, both web and email. I've only worked with web virtual domains and that was very little. Basically to get two websites running.
I've never worked with the email virtual domain so I'm not sure how it works. Email virtual domains are setup in the server admin app under the advanced tab. My personal email server is Axigen running on Fedora Core which handles multiple domains (not virtual) which is why I have not looked at virtual email domains on Lion Server.
The WGM>Accounts>selected user>info tab is for Open Directory information to my knowledge. Not sure how, or even if, that interacts with the email service.

Migrated to Prime infrastructure and now the login on the server doesn't work

We have recently migrated from WCS 7.0.230.0 to Prime Infrastructure 1.3.0.20 and now there is a problem with logging in to our accounts. The problem can be broken down into two parts:
1. We can't logg in using radius (this is still working if we use the WCS or other applications using the same rule)
2. Unless we delete and recreate our accounts we can't even logg in locally
We have re-entered the radiusservers (they disappeared during the migration)
We have tried changing authentication form from pap to chap (in both ends) and then back again
Our radius servers are running Win2k8 R2
Any suggestions on how to solve this? We really need to get the domain-loggin working

mmm, i would say make sure that you have the attributes related to virtual domain appended to the list.
If you have already done that ,
may be you need to try the following:
Step 1)
Open https://NCSIPADDRESS/webacs/dbUpdateAction.do
With root username and password
Step 2)
Execute the Query as below
Query (1)
update WCSDBA.WCSPREFERENCE
set value='ROOT-DOMAIN'
where key ='defaultPartition' and username='a_user'
note-
username should be changed to whichever user is facing issues while logging in
Query (2)
commit work;
or to remove all entries in WCSDBA.WCSPREFERENCE except for SYSTEM, root or ALL_USERS:
delete from wcsdba.wcspreference where username <> '[SYSTEM]' and username <> 'root' and username <> 'ALL_USERS';
commit work;
Step 3)
Restart NCS after the commit changes and try logging back with 'a_user'
Please make sure to rate correct answers

Users, domain and services logon problem

Hi all. I'm having several issues related to users in my farm (mostly service accounts, as it isn't in production yet). The farm is based on W2003 servers (except SQL which uses Windows 2008)
Domain is named sp.test.com , but when I create a web application that doesn't share the same domain name, the users are prompted to type for username and password, first try is a error because it search the user on the other domain, and
in the second one I'm able to type the correct domain.
I'll try to summarize
Domain name: sp.test.com
Web Application name: shop.mall.net (I leave the host header in blank so I can access directly with that address)
First try it only prompts for user/pass and returns an error no matter which combination of domain user and password I type. Second try by default I see the username by default is shop.mall.net\sharepointadmin , and not
sp.test.com\sharepointadmin which is where the user is stored in AD. I think this is also related with the SSP as it says it cannot find the username for provisioning account despite it exists in AD, but SSP is on a Web Application that
doesn't share domain name with the domain.
Thank you all in advance.
PS.- First time I posted on technet, sorry for not being clear or any mistake I could have made.

The trouble is the browser thinks the URL is an internet site and as a security measure doesn't attempt to automatically log in.
Add the URL to your user's local intranet or trusted sites zones in IE.
