WVC200 - unable to change admin password or add new users

Hi,
I have WVC200 installed at home. It works fine in terms of viewing video from home and over the net.
However, from the setup page I am unable to change the Admin password or add new users.
Pls help.

Unable to Change Admin Password

Hello,
Since our ECC system's Admin password has expired, I tried using Emergency user (SAP*) to set the things right. When I tried to reset the Admin Password using the option Security Provider --> User Management in Visual Admin, I got the error "Unable to change password !".
This is really hampering our development process as the deployment couldn't be done without the Admin password. Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Bala

Hi Bala,
Please try the following and hope it helps:
- deactivate sap*
- restart system
- goto url http://<server>:<port>/useradmin
- prompts that administrator password has expired, enter new password here

How to change a password for an OpenLDAP user, which fails when using Lion's System Preferences?

The Problem
Users are unable to change their password using System Preferences -> Users & Groups on a Mac that is connected to an LDAP server (specifically, OpenLDAP).
This error appears to be a result of OS X 10.7.4 now sending the username of the user rather than their full DN (e.g. it's sending bobsmith, notuid=bobsmith,ou=Users,dc=companyname,dc=com).
(a bug report for this issue has been filed with Apple and can be seen on OpenRader @http://openradar.appspot.com/11768796)
Steps to Reproduce:
Try to change the password using the System Preferences -> Users & Groups prefpane on Lion. It fails with the following error message:
The password for the account “bobsmith” was not changed. Your system administrator may not allow you to change your password or there was some other problem with your password. Contact your system administrator for help.
Expected Results:
The password should be changed.
Actual Results:
The error appears, and on the LDAP server, an error like the following is logged:
Jun 28 08:42:21 ldap3 slapd[7810]: conn=10518785 op=2 RESULT oid= err=21 text=Invalid DN
This error appears to be a result of OS X 10.7.4 now sending the username of the user rather than their full DN (e.g. it's sending bobsmith, notuid=bobsmith,ou=Users,dc=companyname,dc=com)
Notes: This was encountered by someone else over at the AFP548.com forums who ended up patching their LDAP server to resolve the issue. This shouldn't require patching LDAP to resolve, however. Lion needs to (at least have an option to) send the full DN of a user requesting to change their password, not the short username:
Text from above forum link (in case it is taken down):
So, I’ve got this OpenLDAP server with network home directories at home that all of my Mac machines authenticate to. Everybody can bounce around to whatever Mac is available. It works great.
Anyway, with Snow Leopard, I was able to change user passwords via System Preferences. However, that got broken when I upgraded to Lion (amongst other things). Both Snow Leopard and Lion send exop’s to the ldap server, but for whatever reason, the id is screwed up in Lion (or at least, it’s screwed up on the two machines at home I tested this with). Instead of sending the user’s DN, e.g. “uid=user,cn=users,ou=something,dc=somewhere,dc=com”, the ldap server is only sent the uid, e.g. “user”. The ldap server is expecting a DN here, so naturally, it fails with the error “Invalid DN”.
Bummer.
So, to work around that, I had to patch OpenLDAP (version 2.4.26 in this case). Now, when my server can’t resolve the id it’s given during a password change, it will look at the bind DN, and if the id string is contained within the bind DN string, it will just use the bind DN as the entry to change. I figured this would still allow me to manually specify password changes via an admin account while still giving users the ability to change their own passwords without having to point them at a webpage (lame).
I should point out that all my accounts have the uid as part of the DN… I guess if you were doing some kind of crazy SASL mappings, this might not work for you…
Anyway, here’s the patch in case anyone else is interested… If it works for you, great. If not, oh well.

I tried to change my password with dscl too, like so:

...and this generated the following after I input my current password and a new one:

I am trying to create a master password on a new machine, but all I get when I hit enter is this message: "Unable to change Master Password".

Pretty much as per the question, when I try and set up a master password, the error message says "Unable to change Master Password". There isn't one to start with, so I'm just wanting to set one for the first time.

Did you copy any files from another computer to the profile folder on that new computer?
Do you already have saved passwords?
*Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
If you haven't then try to delete the key3.db file and possibly logins.json and signons.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder.
Note that all saved passwords are lost when you delete these files.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

I recently inherited a power mac from my dad how do i change admin passwords and such so I can use it?

And if you can't log into the machine at all, you'll need:
Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password.
You'll need a system recovery or Mac OS X install disc. Don't drop your Dad's user account, though. If he's got any serialized software, it may not function for all users on the machine, and you may need to go back to his account.

This process does not appear to work for me. I'm running 10.8.3. I created a new user for a guest staying with me. They have gone now and I am attempting to either change the password or delete the user. It won't allow me to choose the user I created. I am logged in as myself and it states that I am an "Admin". The user I'm attempting to change is listed as a "standard" user and there is a white checkmark inside an orange circular background on the user pic in the list of users.
Can someone help me? I am having a hard time believing that OSx will allow me to create users and allow them use of my computer and it's drives, yet it will not allow me to change the password so I can monitor what they might have been doing while logged on? What if this were my child? This guest left under sketchy circumstances, and I'd really like to be able to ensure they were not using my computer to do illegal things or to have illegal communications.
Any help would be appreciated. (It's odd that it was so simple to "create" a user and set a password for them.......but it's complicated or a little known process to reverse.
Thanks.

Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing. The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as). The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue). However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens. It will not change to highlight that user.

During oim installation datasources are created to access the database.
So when you change the password for the database user you have to adjust the password in the datasources.

NAC Guest Server, How to change the password for a single user?

We have a NAC Guest Server which creates a complex password for all new users created.
We would like to have normal/simple password for a single user. How can I get this done on a NAC Guest Server.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can setup 3 different flavours of passwords:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/nac/guestserver/configuration_guide/20/g_guestpol.html#wp1063249.
a. Username Policy 1 - Email address as username
Use the guest's email address as the username. If an overlapping account with the same email address exists, a random number is added to the end of the email address to make the username unique. Overlapping accounts are accounts that have the same email address and are valid for an overlapping period of time.
b. Username Policy 2 - Create username based on first and last names

Can't add new users in Server Admin console in Server 10.1.4.

I've run into an issue with an older OS X Server 10.1.4 running on a G4 platform. It functions as a shared file repository and I need to add new users. However, it would appear that I've developed a problem.
When trying to add new users I get the following error:
An error occurred in the Users & Groups module in entry point "RACMMenuItemSelected".
A program error has occurred.
1004
Now, my best guess is it's a corruption somewhere. But, I don't want to go poking around the production server taking it down and up until I've got some idea where I'm going. Any suggestions on where my troubles might be? Or has anyone had this issue before, and how was it corrected? (Hopefully not by a full software reload.)
I'd like to replace/upgrade this server, but until there's money in the budget, that's just a dream, I need to try to figure out how to fix what's here.
Help, please?

No answer was found for this issue. I've finally removed the server from production and will likely reformat and reinstall for use in other production areas. Hopefully we'll be upgrading the OS at the same time.

Can't Kerberize or add new users

I keep experiencing the same strange behavior: after a variable amount of time (from hours to days) Open Directory in Server Admin will show that Kerberos is not running. When I click the Kerberize button, neither the server admin account nor the domain admin account will work. I just keep getting prompted for a password in a loop.
Restarting may or may not show the Kerberos service running.
In either case, I then cannot add new users to the domain. The New User button in Workgroup Manager is disabled.
I'm really new to Mac Server (I don't even know enough to be dangerous); so, I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this issue. I'd like to transition users to portable home directories, but the solutions I've read to Kerberos problems is to demote the server and the promote. But that wipes the users, so, I don't really want to go that route.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi
If you can authenticate to the OD node – and it only needs to be once – you can select all your users (not Directory Administrator UID 100) and export them. WGM > Server Menu > Export. How many are there? This will allow you to reimport them later on into any directory node you like, local NetInfo or OD. Passwords do not carry over but this is no big deal as you can assign a password policy later on. When first populating the OD node with users and groups its a good idea to export and save them all to a memory stick or something suitable. It may not help you in this situation but its a good tip for later on.
As Leif says if Kerberos is stopping or starting and generally being flaky its usually (but not always) down to a problem with DNS somewhere.
There are other possibilities. Perhaps the Server has been joined to an Active Directory KDC? If thats so the users you may be seeing are already on the AD Server and there is nothing to lose. It could also explain why authentication is a struggle. Your post also seems to be indicating a time sync issue, (along with DNS another common problem). Inspect the edu.mit.Kerberos file located in /Library/Preferences on the clients to see which KDC is issuing tickets. It may not be the OD Master. If you find that the server is supplementing AD and not providing SSO then its should be safe to demote. Ultimately this is really the only effective solution. Demote to Standalone and sort out the DNS problems (if any) and repromote.
There is another possible solution which you could try if you feel brave enough.
When the server get promoted to OD Master slapd creates the slapd_macosxserver.conf file in /etc/openldap. This file will contain an entry for the root LDAP user – rootdn. Just as System Administrator (UID 501) admin has root sitting behind it so does Directory Administrator (UID 1000) diradmin. This root user has total control over all the data inside the LDAP database, standard access controls do not apply to this user. The important bit about rootdn is that ANY USER and PASSWORD can be used. The user and password does not even have to exist in the LDAP database itself, it only needs to exist in slapd_macosxserver.conf. The default system admin account or root can edit this file to add a new user and password (it can be MD5 or plaintext), slapd will then assume that any user which can authenticate to the newly created name and password is the root user for the LDAP database and will give full access to user records and the OD node itself. Create a new user in the local NetInfo node first, try not to use diradmin and UID1000.
Hope this helps – Tony

Can I transfer songs from my admin account to a new user account?

I want to start using a user account as my main account instead of the admin account. I bought a bunch of songs from iTunes and downloaded them to my admin account.
Can I transfer these songs from my admin account to a new user account and then de-authorized the songs on my admin account?
Thanks,
Mark

If you don't change your iTMS account, you don't have to de-authorize.
Your computer is already authorized to play the songs.
This article tells you more about (de)authorization.
Hope this helps.

Master Data Services - Can not add new User and MDS can not Identify LOCAL Users

Team,
We are using SQL Server 2008 R2 and system working since long and suddenly we observed mentioned two issues. The server MyServer is already restarted but did not help. The MDS installed and configured on SAME Machine (MyServer).
I have two issues here.
1. MDM website can not Identify the local Users (MyServer\MyUser).
The User created on local Machine (MyServer\MyUser). I logged into MDM website using Admin login and click on User and Permission. Then I click on add and Text box appears to type UserName. Here I type "MyServer\MyUser" (MyServer\MyUser is already
exists and working since long). Then click checkName; I received a message "No exact Match was found for MyServer\MyUser". Where as User from OTHER domain identified in MDM but could not identify ONLY the local users like "MyServer\MyUser".
2. Can not add new user in Existing working MDM.
I created windows user on machine (MyServer\MyUser1) and add it in UserGroup having an access to MDM. and then I tried to login to MDM using newly created user (MyServer\MyUser1) ; I see error Access Is Denied. The Permission assigned to UserGroup (not
to individual user). The new User (MyUser1) should automatically get added in MDM once logged in. This is working for existing users in UserGroup; BUT NOT ONLY for new user (MyUser1).

Now I Solved this problem in my case.
I just grant again all permissions according http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff486994.aspx. Now all work fine.
Hope, it will help

Couldnot add new user to webserver

Hi All,
I want to add new users to my LDAP directory from webserver administartion console.
I am using Sun ONE webserver 6.1. I have configured my directory service.
When I add new user to it says -
You do not have sufficient access privilages to perform the operation.
Although, i can perform a ldapmodify command from the terminal to add new entry to the directory.

What Bind DN did you use to bind to directory server in the WS Admin GUI settings used to configure the Directory service? Take a look at Global Settings->Configure Directory Service settings in your WS Admin GUI.
Binding(the Bind DN) determines the permission level you are granted for the connection to LDAP. Try using cn=Directory Manager as Bind DN and test.
Thanks

Resolved! The problem was in the php code the wizard had generated as an example and that I had edited in Dreamweaver. I had tried to start a session and set session objects in the php code. I developed if() { statements} to check the session variable before executing the function in some of my data services. Apparently the wizard does not like this. I removed all references to session. I reconfigured the input types and the return types for each service. With the code now clean the wizard created the example code and placed the proper package in the scr.services package. I still have custom php code and it executes.
Things I learned:
If the php code stops when a session variable is not available in the if statement and the data service is refreshed, the wizard will not "look" beyond the if statement.
Functions downstream of a session variable misshap will show in the data services window but the functions will have a circle icon to the left of the function name and each variable to be passed to the php code will be declared as type = Object in Flashbuilder. The input types and return types will have to be reconfigured for each non-functioning function. Simply commenting out a portion of the php code and attempting a refresh will not make it work again.
When the wizard is unable to refresh properly because of a stop in the php code it stops working completely so additional refreshes or creation of code is not carried out.
I decided to create a My SQL table for user and other identifiers rather than attempting the session object again.
Sorry, I did not make screen shots as I solved this problem. I hope the solution is not hard to visualize.
Thanks for looking and considering how to help me. I hope my solution works for you.
