Trying to understand HT203325: cannot connect to the server with the account of the user of a network

It is a kind of home network issues.  Basically what I want to do is set up a unified environment with the profiles of school boards.  I have a couple of iMacs, a couple of the MacBook and some iPods, iPads and iPhones.

I would like to run the server on one of my iMac, but this note from Apple shows that I'm having problems.  I don't have a machine that I can run like a dedicated server, I need all machines to be accessible by all users of the Open Directory.

More I read the note, less I seem to understand.  Forgive me, I'm not an IT professional.  I put in place quite a while Apple (10.4 & 10.5) servers and we had no problem with network users that connect on the real server.

It was that home directories have been shared with AFP or NFS.  I thought that I saw that they are now shared with AFP or SMB.  Note trying to tell if the server is editing on the one hand, that no other client can mount and access a share until the server has removed it?  This seems to contradict the network share point.

Is there anyway to overcome this problem?  I tried google, but I see a lot of messages that point to the note from Apple, but not really one that helps solve the problem.  Could I run the server on the two iMacs, put on an OD and share the home directories of the other?  So I think that it would be the base directory is never hosted on the same computer where the authentication takes place.

Any clarification would be appreciated.

Thank you

Brett

PS: My Mac is fairly new, so I can update all 10.11.2 & I didn't buy server, so I would get the most recent and for that, too.

Try it.   But I wouldn't expect that you are trying to do will be reliable, and I would not recommend using a server as an interactive workstation - the two tasks are usually in opposite directions.

If you want to store shared files, that activate the OS X client, or install and use a NAS box.   There is no server need, if networked storage is the goal.

Running a server means implementation of DNS services locally and many other tasks.   It was possible to get out for the most part without doing that, but 10.5 started to get flaky without services local DNS and security and network authentication are now commonplace, and this does not at all well without local DNS.

Servers should also be available at all times, and - as often happens - shared systems may be rather less stable that software is modified, the systems are closed down, or otherwise.

NFS is available on OS X for several years, and some people have manually configured access remotely via NFS.   It is much more common to see the AFP and increasingly used CIFS/SMB, however.

Of HT203325: users can be local, as is typical of most of the OS X client configurations, or they can be so-called network users - users with their connection directory located elsewhere and often with access and the same password on multiple systems.   If users are configured as users of the server network, then do not allow users to connect directly to the server.   Who - is the server that serves files and directories of itself to itself - is not reliable.  Not in this technical note, and not by what I saw.

  • Cannot connect to the user account

    Hello

    I have a Mac Mini end of 2012 running OXS El Capitan, while downloading the movies I did spill over from my hard drive, while this isn't a problem in itself when I restarted I am able to connect to my user accounts.

    Specifically what I see, this is the option normal user with the available accounts login screen - I select a configured account (I have 2 of them) enter the word of past (rightly), then instead enter the account, I get the login screen again.

    Strangely enough, when I select the guest account, I can get in.

    Any ideas how do past this and on the accounts?

    I tried to reset the NVRAM that allowed me to access disks and do first aid, it has not shown any questions or help, unfortunately.

    I have access to the Mac using a Windows PC, which allowed me to make space on the hard disk drive by removing some of the movies.

    Thank you very much

    Hello!

    My son IPhone cannot connect to the server iCloud. App Store is not available. In the iTunes and App Store from the settings app, I can't log in. IPhone resetting is not possible. Restore from iTunes on Mac is not possible, because find my iPhone is active on the iPhone, and it cannot be turned off, because in the pane of the application of the iCloud settings can't do anything until I have to accept the new terms and conditions, which cannot be made.

    WiFi on the phone works great with Safari, Mail, but cannot get new e-mail messages. The weather application does not connect.

    His iPad that is connected to the same iCloud account has no problem and there is no problem to connect to his account on iCloud.com.

    I tried to restart and reset hard iPhone and updated to 9.3.4 via iTunes on Mac (which went without pain, but doesn't change anything).

  • Help! Safari cannot connect to the server

    I really need help! I tried to forget the network and turning it back on, I have disabled the firewall and remove all extensions of safari. I seems that nothing works.

    I get the message 'Safari cannot connect to the server' on almost every site except this and facebook. I can't enter same Urbanoutfitters.com or ASOS. I just got the message "Safari could not connect to Server" I'm not a computer genius so hopefully someone here can help me...

    You may have installed one or more variants of the malware "VSearch' ad-injection. Please back up all data, and then take the steps below to disable it.

    Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

    Malware is constantly evolving to work around defenses against it. This procedure works now, I know. It will not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a couple of days or more after it was published should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.

    Step 1

    VSearch malware tries to hide by varying names of the files it installs. It regenerates itself also if you try to remove it when it is run. To remove it, you must first start in safe mode temporarily disable the malware.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for other instructions.

    Step 2

    When running in safe mode, load the web page and then triple - click on the line below to select. Copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

    /Library/LaunchDaemons

    In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

    A folder named "LaunchDaemons" can open. If this is the case, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected.

    There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. Please don't skip this step. Files that belong to an instance of VSearch will have the same date of change for a few minutes, then they will be grouped together when you sort the folder this way, which makes them easy to identify.

    Step 3

    In the LaunchDaemons folder, there may be one or more files with the name of this form:

    com Apple.something.plist

    When something is a random string, without the letters, different in each case.

    Note that the name consists of four words separated by dots. Typical examples are:

    com Apple.builins.plist

    com Apple.cereng.plist

    com Apple.nysgar.plist

    There may be one or more items with a name of the form:

    com.something.plist

    Yet once something is a random string, without meaning - not necessarily the same as that which appears in one of the other file names.

    These names consist of three words separated by dots. Typical examples are:

    com.semifasciaUpd.plist

    com.ubuiling.plist

    Sometimes there are items (usually not more than one) with the name of this form:

    com.something .net - preferences.plist

    This name consists of four words (the third hyphen) separated by periods. Typical example:

    com.jangly .net - preferences.plist

    Drag all items in the basket. You may be prompted for administrator login password.

    Restart the computer and empty the trash.

    Examples of legitimate files located in the same folder:

    com.apple.FinalCutServer.fcsvr_ldsd.plist

    com Apple.Installer.osmessagetracing.plist

    com Apple.Qmaster.qmasterd.plist

    com Apple.aelwriter.plist

    com Apple.SERVERD.plist

    com Tether.plist

    The first three are clearly not VSearch files because the names do not match the above models. The last three are not easy to distinguish by the name alone, but the modification date will be earlier than the date at which VSearch has been installed, perhaps several years. None of these files will be present in most installations of Mac OS X.

    Do not delete the folder 'LaunchDaemons' or anything else inside, unless you know you have another type of unwanted software and more VSearch. The file is a normal part of Mac OS X. The "demon" refers to a program that starts automatically. This is not inherently bad, but the mechanism is sometimes exploited by hackers for malicious software.

    If you are not sure whether a file is part of the malware, order the contents of the folder by date modified I wrote in step 2, no name. Malicious files will be grouped together. There could be more than one such group, if you attacked more than once. A file dated far in the past is not part of the malware. A folder in date dated Middle an obviously malicious cluster is almost certainly too malicious.

    If the files come back after you remove the, they are replaced by others with similar names, then either you didn't start in safe mode or you do not have all the. Return to step 1 and try again.

    Step 4

    Reset the home page in each of your browsers, if it has been modified. In Safari, first load the desired home page, then select

    ▹ Safari preferences... ▹ General

    and click on

    Set on the current Page

    If you use Firefox or Chrome web browser, remove the extensions or add-ons that you don't know that you need. When in doubt, remove all of them.

    The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you reinstall it never. A few small files will be left behind, but they have no effect, and trying to find all them is more trouble that it's worth.

    Step 5

    The malware lets the web proxy discovery in the network settings. If you know that the setting was already enabled for a reason, skip this step. Otherwise, you should undo the change.

    Open the network pane in system preferences. If there is a padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window, click it and authenticate to unlock the settings. Click the Advanced button, and then select Proxies in the sheet that drops down. Uncheck that Auto Discovery Proxy if it is checked. Click OK, and then apply.

    Step 6

    This step is optional. Open the users and groups in the system preferences and click on the lock icon to unlock the settings. In the list of users, there may be some with random names that have been added by the malware. You can remove these users. If you are not sure whether a user is legitimate, do not delete it.

    1. on the front panel of the printer, press your up wireless icon

    2. Select settings.

    3. Select restore default network settings.

    4 turn on your printer.

    5. once it is initialized to save, press the wireless icon again.

    6. Select settings.

    7. Select Wireless Assistant , and then follow the prompts to enter the details of your wireless network.

    8. try to activate the web services again.

    Configure a manual DNS for your printer:

    1 obtain the IP address of your printer

    a. This can be done by pressing the icon on the printer wireless.

    2. Enter the printer's IP address in a browser on your computer.

    3. Select the tab network at the top of the page.

    4. on the left, select network.

    5. Select network address (IP)

    6. Select manual DNS server

    a. manual Preferred DNS should read 8.8.8.8

    b. alternate DNS server should read. 8.8.4.4

    7. Select apply. You can get a warning simply select OK.

    Please reply to let me know if these steps resolve your issue.

    Good luck!
