Where to edit sharepoint permisssions on lion server

Could anybody tell me where the correct place to edit sharepoint permissions is on Lion Server?
1. by selecting the sharepoint from the File Sharing in the server.app
2. by selecting the server in the devices in the server.app, choosing storage and then selecting the folder that is used as the sharepoint
3. by going to the sharing system preference, selecting file sharing, choosing the shared folder used as the sharepoint and changing the permissions in the user box.
Many Thanks in advance.

I use the second method to manage my servers sharing and regulary propergate permissions from this menu due to the permissions bug in Lion server...
Make sure you have server tools as well to get a better grasp on your users with Workgroup Manager. Other ways can produce unwanted home folders being created etc, I had to download this on ours as it wasn't already installed!

I have no idea why the server management has become so complex now! With so many different places to do things no wonder there are so many issues with the latests software releases! Lets hope Mountain Lion is addressing all of this!

Does anyone know where the mail Postbox in the lion Server file system are stored if i use open Directory?
The local users have the mail folder in their home folder, (user/Mail/Dovecot/cur/) but where is the folder for the Domain Users?
Hint: i use MailServeForLion ;-)
Thx a lot

Ha,

The User must login once, then the folder mail will be create in the home folder.
But why did i have no access to my own mail folder as normal User? The Folder Icon is shown with a red -
Anyone?

Where can I configure mail quotas in Lion Server?

One (minor) problem for me, after upgrading from SnowLeopard Server to Lion Server is the fact, that I can't figure out where to administer the mail quotas. So far I have just managed to find the "Server Admin". Here, under Mail -> Maintenance I can see the quotas and under Mail->Settings->Quotas I can enable quota warnings and edit them. But I can't find a place to configure individual quotas. The quota settings from SnowLeopard server have been migrated and are still in place. But how should I change them. It used to be in WorkgroupManager. But in WorkgroupManager this item is gone.
Many thanks for your replies.

Followng up a bit,
In looking into OD records on my Snow Leopard Server via the Inspector in WGM, I see the following attribute for one of my users for whom I've set a 1024mb mail quota.
Name:
MailAttriute
Value:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dict>
          <key>kAPOPRequired</key>
          <string>APOPNotRequired</string>
          <key>kAltMailStoreLoc</key>
          <string></string>
          <key>kAttributeVersion</key>
          <string>Apple Mail 1.0</string>
          <key>kAutoForwardValue</key>
          <string></string>
          <key>kIMAPLoginState</key>
          <string>IMAPAllowed</string>
          <key>kMailAccountLocation</key>
          <string>[redacted].[redacted].org</string>
          <key>kMailAccountState</key>
          <string>Enabled</string>
          <key>kPOP3LoginState</key>
          <string>POP3Allowed</string>
          <key>kUserDiskQuota</key>
          <string>1024</string>
</dict>
I'm wondering if manually entering this attribute, and an XML value with at least the kUserDiskQuota key included will be all I need to do to implement per-user quotas in Lion Server.
If I get time, I will test and report back.

Where is Lion Server's .ServerBackup Equivalent?

On a Snow Leopard Server with Time Machine configured, servermgrd would run a TimeMachinePreBackupHook as well as a TimeMachinePostBackupHook which involved creating a backup of key things like the Directory, and more, e.g.:
bash-3.2# ls -la /Volumes/Time\ Machine\ Backups/Backups.backupdb/Server/Latest/Server\ HD/.ServerBackups/
total 16
drwxr-xr-x@ 2 root admin    68 Aug 19 11:01 (null)
drwxr-xr-x@ 12 root admin   476 Aug 19 11:01 .

drwxr-xr-x@ 2 root admin    68 Aug 19 11:01 wikiServer
This isn't happening with Lion Server, or at least not in that location. Does anyone have any insight as to whether this process or concept has been maintained, and what its particulars are?

It appears the Server does not create this is you have Time Machine set to exclude System files. Once I removed that exclusion, this directory is now present in my backups.

Where can I download OSX Lion Server?

Now that Mountain Lion is out, you can't buy older versions of OSX directly from the Apple Store. However, you can try calling Apple (1-800-MY-APPLE) and tell them that your hardware doesn't support Mountain Lion. I'm sure they still have copies of Lion. It's not like they destroy all traces of previous versions of OSX every time a new version is released.

Where can I download lion server app

I can't find a copy of lion server app anywhere not even when I contacted apple. Does anyone know where can I find it?

Where to buy lion server

Hallo,
i want to use an mac, which isn't compatible to Mountain Lion, as Server.
In the Mac App Store i can't find the Lion Server App.
Where can i buy Lion Server?
Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
OS X Lion and Lion Server aren't sold anymore in the App Store, so now you have to call Apple to purchase OS X Lion or OS X Lion Server > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 They'll give you a redeem code that you will have to insert in the Mac App Store to install Lion Server

I suddenly cannot add/edit users or groups!!! (Lion Server)

I suddenly cannot add/edit users or groups!!! (Lion Server)
On the latest Mac Mini Server Lion 10.7.2
Everything was working fine at first, I'm pretty sure either since i've upgraded to 10.7.2 or since we try to connect Windows8 to the server, Lion Server is not working to good anymore, from that time I cannot add/edit users or groups & assign any users to any goups, the + sign looks desable, and everything seems pretty glichy. The other thing I have notice is that a huge amount of Users & Groups has been added without my consent.
Do I have to ReInstall Lion Server??
Why do I have all these random Users & Groups listed? (see screenshot)

I had the same issue. I opened the Workgroup Manager application and noticed the message "not authenticated as diradmin to directory: /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1" was under the icon bar at the top of the popup screen. When I clicked on that bar I entered the diradmin username and my password. After I exited the authentication dialogue box the message now read "Authenticated as diradmin to directory: /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1."
At that point I had full privalages in both the Workgroup Manager and Server App to create users and groups.
Not sure if this why the problem occurred in the first place but at least I resolved it without any major problems.

Where's the Mountain Lion Server Documentation?

Been waiting all day for Mountain Lion Server Documentation the be posted to no avail. What gives? Especially need the Mountain Lion Server Upgrading & Migrating manual. I help run a small educational cmoputer center in Santa Cruz CA and we need to transition from 10.5 Leopard Server on an old G5 Power Mac to 10.8 Mountain Lion Server on a new 2012 Mac mini as soon as it goes on sale. We particularly need the Workgroup Manager migration app documentation ASAP. Can any Apple employees explain why the Mountain Lion server documentation is not posted even though you can download the Mountain Lion Server since this morning?

Good Luck in Migrating from 10.5 Server to 10.8 Server... There's soo many changes.. Each time I've upgraded since 10.2.X server, I've always had to manual migrate things. Forget the automated upgraded process since it always hangs for me.
As for 10.6.8 Server, Apple changed the imap/pop server software from cyrus to dovecot. There's a script if I recall somewhere in 10.6.8 Server convert the imap mail of all the users. However before you run that script I recommend that you rebuild the imap structure in cyrus before you do...

How can i connect windows(laptop) to lion server?

Hi..
We in our company use mac's as clients. We use Mac OSx 10.7 lion server. We have a lenovo laptop for general purpose. Now can we connect that laptop in network. So that can we remotely use mac screen sharing.

Are you asking how to connect to FileSharing from the PC ?
Or are you asking about screensharing?
On Server
If file sharing, edit the SharePoint and make sure that
Windows File Sharing (SMB) is enabled
On the PC:
Map a network drive
\\10.0.0.1\Share
(your IP and the share name)
Make sure you check the box to use another account or user/password
It will then ask you to enter a password.
In general, the above should work.
There are some cases where it requires a few other tricks.
Good Luck

What I wish I'd Known Before My Lion Server Install

The truth is that I am on my FIFTH Lion Server install on the same box this week. While I was working on #4, I went ahead and submitted a ticket with Apple and arranged a timeslot for this morning to work with them to help me past my struggles with Lion Server. This post is the result of that experience. Big props to Apple support techs Chuck and Don - you know who you are!
What I Wish I'd Known Before My Lion Server Install
1. Do NOT migrate user accounts, apps, and files, until AFTER you have the Server set up and working correctly.
- This one tip, which is brilliantly simple, would have saved me four very long days of head bashing.
2. Server Admin Tools are mandatory.
- The first time around I used the Server App to configure the system (after an upgrade install, and subsequently after a clean install + migration).
- Server Admin allows you to set up the foundation of your server - which it NEEDS!
- DNS - configure a local, pseudo domain for your server if you're doing this at home. Something like "mynet.private" - if you don't, your SSL certificates can get all jacked up, your clients will not trust your certs. This breaks a lot of stuff.
3. Do NOT accept the mDNS .local domain suffix for your Server
- At each step, if something auto-fills your server name as name.local reject it, and use the fully qualified domain name that you set up above (server.mynet.private).
- If you do not do this, anything that requires certificates could/will have big problems.
4. Enable services one at a time. Reboot after EACH major phase past the core Lion install.
- Base install ... Server install. REBOOT
- DNS configuration. REBOOT
- validate your host name - I needed to force a 'changeip' command because there was a problem with the HOSTNAME retaining the mdns .local domain name.
- OD Master config. REBOOT
- Set up Podcast Producer (which will also setup your Xgrid). REBOOT
5. Take images of your hard drive as you go.
- Once I got the core server installed, the basic services above, I rebooted and held the option key, then restarted on the Recovery HD image.
- Use Disk Utility to take a snapshot image of your hard disk so you can get back to this wonderful place of everything working! It's cheap insurance, and adds a bit of extra time, but is well worth it. If you leave the default settings alone (the 'compressed' one in particular) it will use as little space as possible. My server at this stage of configuration created a 4GB disk image.
6. Use the Migration Assistant After the above
- Now you can migrate your apps
- Migrate your users
- etc.
If you use the Migration option while you're installing the server, or if you upgrade on top of your Snow Leopard (or whatever), I can almost guarantee you that you are in for a world of hurt.
I struggled through all kinds of issues with files having embedded information, scattered throughout all the various subsystems, that gummed up my installation and would case all manner of the flakey Lion Server behavior that you read about ("Error Reading Configuration").
If you want to use Podcast Producer, or any of the Profile Manager features, the above methodology was the only way that I could get them to work. Often times I'd have everything working, then reboot and it would break. After I did the above, the system is as solid as a rock.
Today, I love Lion Server. Yesterday I was cursing it.
Best of luck!!

There are 2 distinct apps in Lion Server.... Podcast (in Server app) and Podcast Producer (Server admin which is deemed legacy from SNS). Podcast uses Podcast Publisher instead of Podcast Capture to produce, edit and submit to Podcast app. Podcast doesn't requre Xgrid where PCP did. The two don't mix.
It's as clear as mud in all the documentation about this.
We're finding that Podcast Publisher has much more flexibility that Podcast Capture (edit, episodes & more), can use existing workflow from PCP, doesn't require xgrid, and podcasts can easily be managed by non-IT people via the Podcast wiki as opposed to the CLI pcast commands to edit & modify PCP feeds.
Hope this helps.

How do I access files with an iPad on a Lion Server?

One of the reasons I upgraded fron Snow Leopard server to Lion server is to access files from an iPad and iPhone. I see in the File Sharing sharepoint configuration box the iOS checkbox, but how do I get to the files from the iPad?

Thank you for shaking my brain! I kept looking for a file structure to show up, such as Fidner. Your answer got me thinking correctly. Instead of looking for a "Finder", I opened Pages on my iPad and touched "+" then "copy from webdav". From there I got a login screen and typed https://servername.com/webdav plus my credentials and it got me right to the files on the server! I can now access files on my server from my iPad and can save the changes back! It works both on the local network and remotely! Thanks again!

Trying to access Lion server remote using multi-user access, but from a legacy Leopard system

Just purchased a mini server running Lion, and got screen sharing working fine from my legacy system (32-bit so Leopard only). However, I would like to run in multi-user mode, so someone can use the Lion system and another person can access their own account, from the older Leopard system, at the same time. Using multi-user rather than screen sharing. But Leopard does not have the option on the Finder/Share Screen command, the pop-up window to select screen sharing or new virtual session. So, is there a way still to run a new virtual session from a remote client running Leopard? Since the multi-user capability resides on the Lion server, it should be possible, but how, without the pop-up menu?
