WebDAV Share Points Missing in OS X Server 10.8

WebDAV share points are missing in OS X Server 10.8.
To see for yourself:
1) Do a clean-install of OS X Server 10.8 with a single admin account and a .local host name.
2) In Server.app -> File Sharing, enable WebDAV access for the three default share points: /Groups, /Public, /Users.
3) In Finder -> Go -> Connect to Server -> http://server.local/webdav/ and log-in as the admin account.
Note that only the admin account's networked Home directory appears. There is no WebDAV access to the enabled share points.
4) In Finder -> Go -> Connect to Server -> afp://server.local and log-in as the admin account.
Note that the three default share points appear, along with the networked Home directory. AFP allows access to the enabled share points.
Any suggestions for a fix, or work-around?

I agree with Larry Goldman on this 100%. OS X 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 were rock solid when released. Starting with 10.7 it's been Vistaville all the way. Combined with fanboi arrogance, this has been totally frustrating.
There was a file/directory permissions error in 10.7.0 through 10.7.3, This permissions error caused endless random untracable problems and Apple said NOTHING about it. This wasn't fixed until 10.7.4, and a month later Mountain Lion came out.
"Don't reopen windows at startup" didn't work until 10.7.4 either - causing no end of headaches and problems, but Apple shipped 10.7 out the door with this glaring bug. Nobody at Apple saw this? Nobody tested this? It took a year for Apple to finally to fix it?!?!
Lion was a broken piece of **** until 10.7.4, and I cannot imagine all of the user frustration that must have occured as a result of these two problems, but how many other problems wreaked havoc, undetected?!?
I guess all the seasoned Apple devs went over to iOS, and the beginners are working on OS X. It really shows.
When I booted Lion and Mountain Lion for the first time, all kinds of buggy weirdness reared its ugly head. Windows not closing, artifacts remaining on screen, preference setting reverting without reason, fields not accepting input, Safari suddenly unable to connect to the internet (even though Chrome worked perfectly at the same time for the same URL), yada yada yada...
It used to be Microsoft that made their customers find all their OS bugs for them because it was cheaper than writing clean code from the beginning.
Today, quality control and testing have obviously gone out the window at Apple. They need to spend more of that $100 billion on QA and less on marketing.

  • Can't mount share points over VPN after moving server

    I'm tearing my hair out over this one. We have a server that was located in our office. I just moved it downtown to a colo center (no longer in office) and set up VPN access.
    However, nobody is able to mount the server share points, even though the connection to the VPN seems to work fine (e.g.: I choose "connect to L2TP..." and it connects, VPN icon shows I am online with the server).
    Any attempt to mount a share point fails. I've tried using afp://servername.com and I've tried afp://64.xx.xx.xx (where that's the machine's public IP address). Am I supposed to use a different address (such as an internal 192 address that works over the VPN) or should I be able to mount the afp point using the server public domain name? Should I try NFS?
    Any help would be appreciated -- really need to get access to this system's files again! Thank you!

    And does anyone know which IP you enter for your sites in the web service? The public static IP or the internal private static IP?
    For the external DNS server I am sure you have already deduced that it should be the static IP issued you by Comcast and this will be forwarded by your router to your server.
    For your internal DNS server you could use either the internal LAN IP, or the external IP although the later might be affected by your firewall so this you will need to test.
    For the Web Server service in Server admin, if your only running a single website you could avoid the issue by just using the wildcard entry which will respond to any IP address, so this would be an empty host name and an IP address of *
    In fact you don't have to specify an IP address you could just use the hostname, so it will listen to traffic arriving at your server addressed to any IP address and as long as the URL that was requested includes the hostname you define for the site it will get responded to. So if as an example you have two websites you want to serve
    www.example.com
    site2.example.com
    then as long as both have the IP address for the site as an * (asterisk) then both should work as separate sites for traffic addressed to either the LAN or WAN IP address of the server.
    You will still need to use two IP addresses on the server to enable VPN, you could use a USB Ethernet adapter for the second one. Port forwarding for VPN is not as simple as other traffic as VPN requires traffic different to the standard IP and UDP packets. Routers that support 'VPN Passthrough' are specifically designed to accomodate this but I don't know if the AirPort Extreme does this. I have also found PPTP copes better with this sort of setup than L2TP although PPTP is generally regarded as less secure.

  • System creates group for every share point

    Every time I create a new share point on my OS X Server 10.5, a group is created by the system on the fly along with it.
    For example, I created a folder nameded Research Office and shared in Server Admin. Then when I assign the permission for the share point in Server Admin, I see a group called Research Office group with a GID of 124. However, this group does not appear in Workgroup Manager so I can not assign members to it.
    Anyone see this before?

    These groups are 'local' (Not LDAP) I still have difficulty wrapping my head around some of the rules about the 'how' this works but assigning LDAP users to this group does work!
    OK _To see this group(s)_.
    1: Open Workgroup Manager.app.
    2: Select /Local/Default in your Authentication list (this spot is between the Toolbar and the 4 (or 5) icons for User, Groups, Computer Groups etc.) We are looking for the place that should say something like 'Authenticated as XXXXX to local directory /Local/Default')
    3: Select the Groups icon (3 Shadows standing together)
    4: Select Menu View, Show System Users and Groups
    5: Now you will be able to select these groups.
    _To add LDAP users and groups to this 'local' group._
    1: Highlight the group in question
    2: Select the Members tab in the right pane
    3:Click the plus
    4: After the tray slides out, at the top of the tray, you will see a disclosure arrow and Local Directory /Local/Default. Click on it and select /LDAP/127.0.0.1
    Now you can select your LDAP users to assign rights.

  • Folders Not Showing in Server Admin AFP Share Point?

    Hello all,
    My problem is I can make a folder in Server Admin under AFP Share Point, But the Folder wont actually be made on the HD.
    Under Server Admin AFP Share Point it will tell me that it doesn't exist?
    So I thought I'll go to that point on the HD and make the folder then set the permissions to it... nope I can make the folder I can see it in finder and in terminal, But not in Server Admin AFP Share Point.
    I have never seen this before any help is greatly welcomed.

    Hi Kristoffer,
    I have seen an attribute for folder object which could control SharePoint folder hide or show in webdav explorer view, you can use PowerShell to output the problematic folder property, see if it the case, then use the PowerShell code to set it's property
    with blank value to make it show in explorer view,
    Use the PowerShell to get the folder object and then check the property value with this code line $folder.Properties["vti_winfileattribs"]
    #folder can be site, library level and folder level
    $folder = (Get-SPWeb http://sp).Folders["shared documents"].SubFolders["folder1"]
    #hide folder
    $folder.Properties["vti_winfileattribs"]="00000016"
    #show folder
    ####$folder.Properties["vti_winfileattribs"]=""
    $folder.Update()

  • How to configure SharePoint HNSC with a reverse proxy server so that HNSC Share Point URLs are not exposed to end users.

    Could you please let me know how SharePoint HNSC can be configured with a reverse proxy server so that HNSC Share Point URLs are not exposed to end users.
    In normal path based site collections/web applications, reverse proxy configuration can be done using alternate access mappings with  Public URL = "proxy URL", internal = "HNSC Share Point URL" so that share point sends response back
    to Public URL = "proxy URL".
    In Host Named Site Collections,  alternate access mappings  are not supported. Each HNSC is designed to have only one URL in each zone. Zone is one of the five zones(Default,Intranet,Internet,Custom,Extranet) with each of which only one alternate
    URL is associated.  This is what we are able to get using power shell command "Set-SPSiteUrl", but this will not help us to get the response back to proxy URL after a request sent to share point because we could not find any mechanism in share
    point HNSC to respond  to a different URL(proxy URL). Consequently, Share Point URLs are exposed to  external users.
    Below share point article in MSDN blog is symmetrical to what we are observing with Share Point 2013 and Proxy Server. It mentions that internal HNSC URLs can’t be hidden using any proxy server. If  hiding the internal Share Point URLS is a requirement,
    it suggests to use a web application instead of host named site collections.
    Though I’m also observing the same behavior with Share Point 2013 HNSC, Could you please confirm my understanding is correct.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kaevans/archive/2012/03/27/what-every-sharepoint-admin-needs-to-know-about-host-named-site-collections.aspx
    Excerpt from above article-
    "Host Named Site Collections Only Use One Host Name
    Continuing on the discussion on AAMs and host named site collections, you cannot use multiple host names to address a site collection in SharePoint 2010. Because host-named site collections have a single URL, they do not support alternate access mappings and
    are always considered to be in the Default zone.  This is important if you are using a reverse proxy to provide access to external users. Products like Unified Access Gateway 2010 allow external users to authenticate to your gateway and access a site
    as http://uag.sharepoint.com and forward the call to http://portal.sharepoint.com. Remember that URL rewriting is not permitted. Further, a site collection can only respond to one host name. This means if you are using a reverse proxy, it must forward the
    calls to the same URL.  If your networking team has a policy against exposing internal URLs externally, you must instead use web applications and extend the web application using an alternate access mapping."<u5:p></u5:p>

    Hi Satish,
    You are right that only one URL is allowed for each zone of the host-name site collections in both SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013.
    It is by design that each host-name site collection only support one URL for each zone.
    The article below is about RTM version of SharePoint, and it is the same for SharePoint 2013 with the latest CU.
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2826457
    So to make the URL of HNSC not exposed to external users is not supported, you need to use path-based sites instead.
    Best regards.

  • Different passwords for different share points on 1 server?

    On a lion server I have two share points.
    A 'general' is accessible for all users, a 'confidential' is for a select group of users.
    The permissions are set and the select group have their server access password in their key chain.
    The server password is stored in a separate key chain ie. not in the login key chain.
    The select users connect to the server and allways mount the 'general' share point.
    The 'confidential' share point is mounted only when needed and unmounted afterward.
    Problem is when the users walk away from their computer and forget to lock the computer or to completely disconnect from the server, which is generally very inconvenient because of open documents.
    "Unmounting" the confidential share in my setup is not really putting it away securely because at that moment, anyone can sit down at that computer and mount 'confidential' because the login credentials were already given when mounting 'general'.
    Is there any way, lest having Parallels running another Lion server that shares the 'confidential' mount point, to force users to enter a password before 'confidential' can be mounted WHILE 'general'  IS ALREADY MOUNTED?
    In other words, can credential exchange be tied to share point mounting time rather than to server connection time and thus be different for different shares and allow for share-specific unmounting, effectively locking it away?

    Has nobody done this before?

  • Mobile Account - How to Map Share Point Locally on Server?

    Hello,
    Using mobile accounts on a mac mini server, this is a small home network. Primary reason for server was to use mobile accounts allow the various computers and laptops to be accessed by all family and guests with data linked to login.
    All work fine except, when I login into the server as my mobile account it is unable to sync, or find any files because the Share Points do not map locally. Warning message says use locally. This causes problems with itunes, mobile account syncs etc.
    Is there a way to map the Share Points using the network path, locally on the server in the mobile accounts?
    Thanks

  • How do I connect a user account to a server's share points when the user is on the same Mac as the Lion Server?

    I've installed and configured Lion Server on an old iMac that suddenly became available when I upgraded to a new iMac. I've got a share point on there. It was easy. Love it.
    My bookkeeper comes into my office once a week and works on that iMac. He already has a regular user account set up there. He needs to access the sharepoint that is on that iMac he's using, and which is now running Lion Server. But I can't see the server from his account, and I can't manually connect to it - I get an error to connect locally on the Mac instead.
    But I can't navigate to the point in the user account that I'm using as a file serving account to get him access to the directory I'm sharing.
    So, in short, how does a local user on an iMac running Lion Server connect to the server's sharepoints?

    All drives are now listed under volumes both local and remote.
    I would try the fullpath using /Volumes/....
    or post the file paths your trying
    are you trying the goto menu?

  • Drill through reports are not working fine in share point server

    I Have a master report with four parameters and child report with two parameters
    I deployed these two reports in share point server , my scenario is i am navigating from my parent report to child report using action (Drill Through Report Concept)
    First i clicked on parent report it will ask select parameters , i have selected all parameter and click on apply in share point it will display the parent report content .
    In parent report i have link to navigate child report . if i click the link it will redirect to child report and displays the child report content perfectly. upto this step every thing working fine now problem is comes to picture
    I have back to in my child report when i click the that button it redirects from child to parent
    But earlier selected parameters values are lossed and the parent report again asked for me to select parameters
    Can you please explain me because we have migratiojn from ssrs report manager to share point .

    Hi All,
    Finally i got the solution there is small difference between SSRS Native mode and share point integrated mode
    To overcome this issue explicitly we have to change our report expression code for SharePoint Integration mode before deployment. We have to change URL
    Preparation code in the expression in report.
    Below is the sample URL
    ="http://<<site url>>/ReportServer/RSViewerPage.aspx?rv:RelativeReportUrl"+"=/ssrs/INT/Report.rdl&rp:parameter1="+CStr(Parameters!parameter1.Value)+"&rp:parameter2="+CStr(Parameters!parameter2.Value)+"&rc:Parameters=True"
    The only difference between our SSRS Report manager report expression and share point integrated mode report expression is
    “rp:”
    value prefixed with every parameter.
    After fixing this code I am able to see the previously selected values in Parent report below are the screen shots

  • Share point in server admin not working correctly... I think

    I suspect that the share point in server admin is not working correctly. In workgroup manager when I click on a user and then click on the "home" tab, under the full path field I see a file path of:
    afp://server.mydomain.com/Users
    However if I go to Server Admin -> AFP -> Share Points then click on the Users share and then click on the share point tab below, enable auto mount is disabled. How can this be possible? I thought for a directory to show up in home in workgroup manager it had to be set as an auto mount. Has something possibly corrupted? And what?

    Here's a bit more information about our setup and our experiences with Apple's CUPS implementation:
    On the server, all printer queues are set up with only lpr and ipp sharing enabled with the PPD setting for each printer set to Generic Postscript. We found that setting the PPD to the printer specific one on the server caused problems when clients tried to use printer specific options, like paper tray selection, etc.. The selection would be undone, apparently because the driver on the server would override the previous settings. Using Generic Postscript allows the client PPD settings to go through unmodified. Our printers are general a mix of HP LaserJets and some Sharp Copiers.
    All clients use lpd to the server queues with the printers' actual PPDs configured. Using ipp is superior in that printer feedback (jams, out of toner, etc) makes it back to the clients, but ipp only works when the client, the server, and the printer are on the same network. If the ipp client is not on the same network, the client spooler immediately goes into a paused state and the print job is stuck on the client.
    Using lpd to the server queues works reliably, but there is no feedback to the client. Jobs disappear from the client queue and go to the server, appearing to the user as a successful print. If the printer is down, there's nothing they can see or do about it.

  • Server Admin won't let me view Share Points

    I had a server crash while editing a user in Workgroup Manager that forced a restart. Since then Workgroup Manager works fine, but I cannot see the Share Points in Server Admin. I select File Sharing then Share Points, and just get a spinning indicator on the lower right. I can browse the volumes, but clicking on a user's folder does nothing. The Share/Unshare button never becomes active and I can't view the permissions. Other functions of the Server Admin seem to be OK, except the Web settings take forever to show up. This happens whether I run Server Admin locally or remotely.
    I get this from the Console when I launch Server Admin but it makes no sense:

    Any ideas where to look?
    10.5.1 on dual-core intel XServe 4GB RAM

    Use the inspector in work group manager to delete /config/sharepoints.
    You will need to be in the local directory in work group manager and you will have to reshare all shares but no data will be removed. You should probably reboot after deleting the directory. This would replace the old way of doing it in the past with netinfo manager since we don't have netinfo anymore.

    Windows Server is Windows, but the Server OS. SharePoint runs on top of supported Windows Servers editions (see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262485.aspx).
    SharePoint Server is 64-bit only (trial:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/hh973397.aspx), although Designer does have a 32-bit edition (full product:
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35491).
    You will need the capability to run 64bit VMs. Minimum recommended all-in-one VM for SharePoint is to allocate 24GB of RAM, but you can get away with as little as 12GB (I wouldn't go below that). Because of this, it generally rules out 32bit OSes as a virtual
    machine host.

  • Illustrator CS6 hangs saving files to local HD while having multiple server share points mounted

    Mac OS 10.6
    Illustrator CS6
    Illustrator CS6 hangs (spinning beach ball) when saving files to the computer's local HD while having multiple server share points mounted.
    I am NOT opening or saving the file to or from a server.
    The server is mounted so that I can move my saved file to it once complete.
    Unmounting the servers fixes the problem and Illustrator CS6 returns to being normal (not causing a spinning beach ball).
    This is repeatable, not intermitent.

    We were having similar issues working over a network. I believe it's a Mac OS 10.6 issue, something to do with the Mac finder searching for file dates or metadata on the servers. From what I understand, this has been fixed in OS 10.7. We can't yet move to 10.7 and after trying many possible fixes, found that a Mac finder alternative, Path Finder, fixed most server delays. It's not free, but you can give it a 30 day trial to see if it fixes your issue. Here is a link to discussions about other suggested fixes:

  • Lion server and Share Points

    My company just got a new iomega SAN and I wanted to test it on a lion server. So I setup lion server on a mac pro and configured the SAN to the switch. The problem is that when I go to server app, File sharing & click + to add a share point Im not able to add the shares from the SAN, only the Macintosh HD shows.
    But when I switch to my snow leopard server I can add the SAN shares with no problem. Does anybody know how I can get this working with lion server?

    You should check OS X logs and Windows client logs to have a better understanding of what happened.
