Wiki won't accept OD user logins after upgrading to server 3.1.1

I have an OS X server 3.x running on OS X 10.9.3. I have several WiKi users, most are OpenDirectory (neiwork) users and one is a 'local' user. Prior to the weekend I was running Server 3.0.3 and all was good. Since uograding to Server 3.1.1 none of the network/OD users can log in to their Wikis. The local user can log in just fine. The network users can log in to all their other servcies (Mail, Calendar,Contacts, SMB/AFP shares etc.) just fine. They can also log into my regular SSL web-site which requires passwords. Only the wiki login is broken.
In the collabd.dlog file I see:
May 21 19:28:20 anarion.home.thejenkinsfamily.org.uk collabd[3747] <Error>: [CSAuthService.m:316 5b04000 +0ms] Digest did not validate
May 21 19:28:20 anarion.home.thejenkinsfamily.org.uk collabd[3747] <Error>: [CSServiceDispatcher.m:260 5b04000 +0ms] Caught exception "Invalid Credentials" [CSAuthBadDigest] executing [http]Request{AuthService.validateUsernameAndPasswordDigest:remember:(<<scrubbe d>>)}:
followed by an exception stack trace.
But of course the credential are valid.
Anyone seen this? Any ideas on how to fix it? Might it be fixed in the 3.1.2 update that came out a few days ago (I have not updated to that as yet)?
Thanks,
Chris

Okay, this problem has re-surfaced (on server 3.1.2). Here are the symptoms:
1.    It only affects network (Open Directory) users. It affects all network users.
2.    It only affects the Wiki service; OD users can authenticate for all other services (Mail, Contacts, Calendar, VPN, Time Machine, OS X login on client machines) without problem.
3.    Stopping and restarting the Wiki Servcie and the OD servcie does not fix the problem, but rebooting the server does. Things will then be fine for a while (I have not yet quantified how long 'a while' is) and then the problems occurs again.
4.    When the problem is present, even a newly created user cannot login to the Wiki servcie.
5.    When the login failure occurs, the collabd.log file contains the following:

  • Users can't login after upgrading to Server 4

    I've upgraded my classroom server to OS X Yosemite 10.10 and Server.app to Server 4.  All of my client stations are running OS X Mavericks 10.9.5.  Users were unable to login.  I've then upgraded the entire lab to 10.10, that seems to have fixed the issue. Sort of.  2 of the client stations are still unable to login.  They are Mid 2010 Mac Minis, I have 4 of them with the same specs, yet 2 work fine and 2 don't.  The rest of the lab is also Mac Minis, all newer than the previous, all working fine.  Any suggestions as to why those 2 don't want to cooperate?

    In server administration, under Open Directory was set to Open Directory Master. I changed it to Standalone Server which is what we have and that took care of everything.

  • IMac won't allow me to login after few hours

    Hi everyone...
    My iMac won't allow me to login after few hours. Actually I had a limited broadband connection which is free from 2AM to 8AM. So I have scheduled some downloads to start at 2AM and end at 8AM. Before going to bed, I just put on the screen saver. When I wake early in the morning and move my mouse.. blank screen turns on and colorful spinning wheel appears, but log-in window doesn't appear. This has happened thrice till now. Day before yesterday it was fine. But yesterday and today I got the same problem. Previously also it was working fine. I can't figure out why it is behaving like this...
    Initially, in Power save options, I scheduled iMac to wake up at 2AM and sleep at 8AM and then used to put iMac to sleep before going to bed. It was working fine and did the same thing for more than a month. Now I have removed wakeup & sleep scheduled options from Power save options.
    Following are the settings/options selected:
    1. In energy save options, I have selected the option not to put iMac to sleep when it is inactive for certain time.
    2. Put hard-disks to sleep whenever possible is checked.
    3. I have scheduled the downloads in Azureus, Transmission and Speed download 5.
    Following are the temps and rpms:
    Temps:
    HD: iMac, Vista: 124 F
    CPU A: 117
    Airport Card: 151 F
    Ambient: 83 F
    GPU: 133 F
    GPU Diode: 137 F
    GPU Heatsink: 137 F
    HD Bay1: 124 F
    Mem Controller: 121 F
    Optical Drive: 110 F
    Power supply1: 162 F
    Fans:
    CPU Fan: 1198 rpm
    Hard Drive: 1199rpm
    Optical Drive: 998rpm
    One more thing, recently I have reset the SMU because it is taking too long to boot up. To my surprise, after restarting, fan (not sure which one) started to make bigger sounds. I then had to reset SMU two times and only then fan started to spin normally without any noise. I'm scared & worried...
    Someone please help me where I went wrong.... what can I do to solve this problem..
    You know I purchased this iMac for Rs.86000/- INR ($2097 approx.) ... after two months they slashed the prices by Rs.20000/- INR($487 approx.)... so this is how my luck seems to be

    Hello and sorry. First, if you reset the SMU. make sure you do not hold the power button down while reconnecting the cable or it will reset the SMC incorrectly.
    When you say you are logging in, are you logging onto the internet, or onto the computer/user account?
    If it is intermittent than it sounds like your internet and that would be best handled by your internet provider first.

    Hi Ankur,
    From your description, you can't access to OWA after upgrading Exchange server 2007 to SP3 rollup 13. Firstly, please locate to C:\ExchangeSetupLogs and make sure that it is a successful installation. If not, this issue often occurs.
    If it is a successful upgrading, please follow the steps below for troubleshooting.
    1. Open IIS Manager, click Default Web Site -> Authentication, make sure that Anonymous Authentication and Windows Authentication are enabled.
    2. Click Default Web Site -> SSL Settings, check "Require SSL" and click Ignore.
    3. Click Default Web Site -> HTTP Redirect, check Redirect (enter your 
    https://URL), check "Only redirect" box and Status code Found 302.
    4. Expand Server Configuration -> Client Access ->double click owa ->Authentication tab. Check the Basic Authentication and check the Use forms-based authentication button Logon Format: Domain\user name.
    Hope it helps.

  • Caldavd failing to start after upgrade to Server 3.2.1

    This problem, caldavd not starting after upgrading to Server 3.2.1, is a variation on the theme of PostgresQL not starting.  It too boils down to a postgres database not having been updated properly.  Below are the steps needed to fix this problem:
    sudo su -
    # Change to the directory with the postgres database for the calendars and contacts
    cd /Library/Server/Calendar\ and\ Contacts/Data/Database.xpg
    # Disable caldavd for now
    launchctl unload -w /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.c alendarserver.calendarserver.plist
    # move the broken database out of the way and build a new empty one
    mv cluster.pg broken-cluster.pg
    mkdir cluster.pg && chmod 700 cluster.pg && chown _calendar:_calendar cluster.pg
    sudo -u _calendar /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/bin/initdb "/Library/Server/Calendar and Contacts/Data/Database.xpg/cluster.pg" -E utf8 --lc-ctype=C
    # Finish the upgrade job that never completed by explicitly invoking the previous version of postgres:
    sudo -u _calendar /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/bin/pg_upgrade -b /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/libexec/postgresql9.2 -B /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/bin -d /Library/Server/Calendar\ and\ Contacts/Data/Database.xpg/cluster.pg.original_for_upgrade/ -D /Library/Server/Calendar\ and\ Contacts/Data/Database.xpg/cluster.pg
    # Mark the newly upgraded database as no longer in need of an upgrade
    sudo -u _calendar touch cluster.pg/.NoRestoreNeeded
    # Start caldavd back up
    launchctl load -w /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.c alendarserver.calendarserver.plist
    And everything should be the way it should have been in the first place!

    Hi, I have the same issue and Linc Davis pointed me to this thread from Re: Server Calendar migration failed.
    Your solution already got me somewhere, so thanks for that

  • Time Capsule won't accept my user name and password for access - Help!

    Hi all,
    My Time Capsule seemed to stop working one day and I had to do a hard reset with the little button at the back. After that it worked and I restored my wireless network settings but now I can't access the Time Capsules hard drive with Time Machine.
    When I try to choose it as my Backup Disk in the Time Machine preferences it says "Enter your user name and password so Time Machine can access the file server "Our Time Capsule" (the name of my time capsule). However, every time I try to enter my password I get "Sorry, you entered an invalid username or password".
    I've already tried several resets of the Time Capsule and I've also tried logging on my computer as the Root user and changing my administrator account password back and forth but no go.
    Help! and Thanks.

    Norman & Harry,
    Consider the following:
    *_Time Capsule Keeps Asking Me For a Password_*
    It will be important to know what is going on, or what you are doing when it asks for the password. Is it asking for a password only when Time Machine attempts a backup? Consider this:
    It is NOT your username and password it wants when you try accessing the Time Capsule. (I know... it SAYS "username and password") But it means the Time Capsule's Name and Password.
    You will find that by launching Airport Utility.
    Select the TC on the left.
    Click "Manual Setup".
    Click the "Time Capsule" Tab.
    You will see "Time Capsule Name:" and "Time Capsule Password".
    Make sure “Remember password in keychain" is checked.
    That is the information you need to enter when it asks for "username & password."
    *I Don’t Remember What My Time Capsule Password Is*
    You can see what your current TC password is by going into Keychain.
    Open your Keychain and select "login" from the Keychains pane in the top left. Highlight "Passwords" in the Category pane from the lower left.
    Sort all the items by Kind. Note everything labeled "Airport...". How many do you have listed? There should only be one "Airport base station password" for each base station that you have active. Also, there should only be one "Airport network password" for each network you have created. If there are more than these, then delete all but the ones with the most recent Modification date.
    To see what passwords are being stored, double-click your Time Capsules' entry. A new window will appear.
    Put a check beside "Show Password". You may be asked for your own Admin password so enter that.
    Now the Password field will display the password you entered into Airport Utility for your Time Capsule
    *It Still Won’t Accept the TC Name and Password*
    Launch Airport Utility --> Manual Setup.
    Select "Disks" in the tool bar above.
    Click the "File Sharing" tab.
    Is "File Sharing" checked? It should be.
    What is selected beside "Secure Shared Disks"? If it says "With Accounts" or "With a Disk Password" then the system will ask you for a password every time it mounts the TC hard disk. If you switch it to "With Time Capsule Password" then use the password you designated earlier in the “Time Capsule" tab. It should only ask you once and then never again - because you had checked "Remember password in keychain".
    If you have made any changes then click "Update".
    Let us know if this resolves your issue.
    Cheers!

  • 11.1.3 won't accept my user password for updates

    After upgrading iTunes to 11.1.3, it now continiously asks me for my AppleID password when I try to update my apps.  I've checked that the Apple ID name and password are correct.  In fact, if I type in the wrong password, it will tell me 'Incorrect Password'.   But when I type in the correct one, it simply redisplays the authorization window....

    After trashing all the relevant preferences, still no fix....
       It should be noted that when I deauthorize my computer, and then reauthorize it, it has no problem accepting my AppleID password to get this done.  Upgrading applications, no go.

  • DVD drive won't accept disks since Snow Leopard upgrade

    I just upgraded my Macbook to Snow Leopard, and now I can't insert disks into my optical drive. It just won't accept them. Help!
    Thanks in advance!

    Try this:
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    No guarantee this will work but it's a start.

  • Lost user data after upgrade bios in G580

    HI
    I have strange problem with Lenovo G580 with Windows 7. After upgrade bios to newest version and reboot my system start without any user data (no documents, no programs installed earlier), All reboot take short time, about 1-2 minutes. Only username stay the same.
    Is it possible that upgrade BIOS was bring recover system to factory?
    Does data can I recover somehow?
    I need help because there was important databases of company.
    Thanks
    Dariusz

    hi Dariusz,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    That's really strange indeed and very unusual as I've never seen a BIOS update delete a user's data before. Perhaps you're logged-in to a temporary user profile?
    To check if you're logged-in to a temp profile, show hidden files and navigate to C:\Users and check if you have an identical username with a dollar sign right next to it and apply this fix:
    Fix Corrupt Windows 7 Temporary Profile
    For data recovery, check these Free File Recovery Software Programs.
    Hope this helps

  • Can't login after upgrade to 10.6.8

    Hi
    I am stuck in a login loop after upgrading from 10.6.4 to 10.6.8, the Login window accepts the password, the screen clears and after a short delay the login window reappears.
    Some background info:
    this is a 2010 iMac 21.5"
    I have replaced a failed drive with a new one, reinstalled 10.6.4 with the install disc that came with the Mac
    Did a successful Time Machine restore where the computer would boot and desktop and files were all intact.
    A couple of programs complained about the OS needing updating so I used the Update feature to download and install 10.6.8
    Now I cannot get past the logon screen.
    Any suggestions to get past this screen?
    thanks
    Bob

    Hi Eric
    Thanks for your continued help
    I borrowed another 10.6.4 DVD and have now managed to install 10.6.4 and update it to 10.6.8 and no longer have the logon loop issue. I've also verified/repaired the disc and repaired the file permissions successfully.
    Time Machine has restored the desktop, all the music files are there, Photo's are there and Google Picassa runs, but little else.
    Safari complains I have the wrong version of OSX and will not run so I can't browse the net (typing this on my laptop)
    iTunes reports it requires 10.7.5 or later as do most other apps I've tried.
    Fortunately Finder works, I've run the Software Update and it says I have the latest updates.
    If I click on 'App Store', the store opens ok but the only Upgrade option I now see is to Yosemite, if I select that the App Store screen gives a spinning pointer and never does anything, I have to force quit through finder to get out of it.
    any suggestions as to what to try next?
    thanks
    Bob
