First I woudl need to know what software you use on which machine.
Is is OSX Server 10.3.x or the Personal OSX 10.3.x

And is it a modem connection or other kind of connection (Cable, DSL etc.)

It worked

Thanks

I sucessfully configured a G4 AGP with to share a newtork connection using a modem. This is my home setup.

And I sucessuflly configured our server at the office to share network connection with a DSL modem and an AsantÈ 590 PCI card.

This is very tricky and I followed the instructions that came with the OSX Server Getting Started.

I was thinking of writing an article but there is some issue that I don’t understand. I am willing to assist you via e-mail if you want.

I’m getting an error too but mine is:
“Feb 23 15:30:31 server ntpd_initres[360]: server returns a permission denied error
Feb 23 15:30:36 server postfix/pickup[18244]: fatal: /etc/postfix/main.cf, line 79: missing ‘=’ after attribute name: “smtp inet n – n – – smtpd””

I can receive mail (I think). But it hangs while sending. Anyone help please!!

No, but as I understand it, Spanning Tree only affects Appletalk, not IP. Not sure about Rendezvous which seems to be used in the Computer list browser.

There’s a good Thread in the Apple Forum about this issue. You will find an answer there:

Thanks!
Quick question… Is there a way to get apple to put that into their documentation or something? It seems like they should have known better than to put a field in the Server Admin that will disable your mail server if you put in a number greater than 40 and not tell anybody! Even better,. how about if when Server Admin changes it to a number above 40 Server Admin would also change the message size limit to match it,. how hard would that have been? I guess Apple was too busy giving away ITunes Songs to worry about something like that!

Yah,.. I had the exact same problem and used the same fix you did,. does anyone know how to get the aliases to work?

Hello Joel,

well I am an Checkpoint VPN-1 admin, and I would like to get VAPOR to work with it. Unfortuanetly I am having some problems with VAPOR and our VPN-1. I am not quite sure what you mean, if you¥re asking to look for a group that will eliminate the need for passwords. Does it mean that you suggest a configuration where someone can connect to the VPN-1 without a pre-shared key (password)?

I would really like to get this goingm but I do need some more information about this.

Thanks,
Budy[/quote:98a424ab46]

Our company is setting up a Checkpoint VPN-1; I’m not admin, but I work closely with the guy who is, and is a Linux and OS X supporter, though we are primarily a PC shop. We are using 509 certificates. Our admin supplied my certificate last night [not using shared secrets], and it imported correctly into VPN tracker. When I first tried it with Vapor, I got some Applescript errors, which made me wonder if it was Panther-compatible. But on second try, it imported the certificate, and it *seems* to be running. But I cannot tell for sure.

I’m running OpenLDAP 2.1.26, and the latest version of Addressbook from Apple. I enabled ldaps (on port 636), since Addressbook doesn’t support TLS.

OK, I managed to get it to do searches by disabling SSL. Without SSL, it binds as the specified DN, and performs searches, but nothing comes back. If I also allow anonymous read access, then I get search results back. Although it won’t seem to do a listing of all entries – only on specific search terms, and “*” doesn’t count.

So basically it looks like Apple Address book doesn’t really support SSL, and has a broken LDAP bind implementation – it binds as the user, but searches anonymously.

Has anyone achieved better results than this? Am I missing something?

Does anyone know where I could get the schema that Addressbook uses for addressbook entries?

Thanks!

[quote:29e86fd6c1=”tomster”]hello,

i’m looking into the possibility of using an LDAP server for central storage of Addresses/Contact Info.

I envision that there will be one shared contact pool onto which everybody has read/write access plus one personal addressbook per user.

from what i¥ve seen so far, i think the problematic part is the ldap CLIENT, rather than the server, so perhaps my question should be: does anybody know of an LDAP client with which one can add/edit entries? Apparently, the Apple Addressbook can only read ldap contacts…

thanks for any help,

tom[/quote:29e86fd6c1]

Hi Tom — I’m just starting to look into this myself, but I didn’t get so far as to get Addressbook to be able to read entries from my OpenLDAP server. Could you post a little information on Addressbook’s requirements for this?

The Addressbook GUI has the appearance that it supports non-anonymous binds to an LDAP server. I have filled in the username, password, and Auth type fields in the Addressbook LDAP preferences dialogue. I can see from my OpenLDAP logs that it makes a connection to the server, but it does not bind using the DN and password that I specified.

I can, however, use ‘ldapsearch’ from the command line and successfully query the openldap server.

I’m running OpenLDAP 2.1.26, and the latest version of Addressbook from Apple. I enabled ldaps (on port 636), since Addressbook doesn’t support TLS.

Thanks.

Okay, I finally figured this out.

Turns out that reconstruct -r -f wasn’t enough. I needed to run reconstruct -i as well. That seemed to do the trick, and all the users accounts are populated and happy again!

Yeah!

No one really posts to this board, do they? It’s a shame.

Cheers,

Have it installed on my PowerBook 12″ and i’m using it for Web, ftp, mail and it
works fine.
However – If you call apple for support, they won’t give it because the 12″
is not a supported machine for Mac OS X.
