I’m trying to get this procedure to work on Acrobat 9 / CS4, and I’m not having much success. Users are still prompted with an administrator name/password when launching Acrobat.
Is there something else we need to change on Acrobat 9?
Roaming profiles are broken in 10.5.5. I tried different authentication methods, no go.
Apple really should test its stuff better before letting it out there. SMB needs so much attention on Leopard Server, it’s unbelievable.
I’m actually starting to wonder if I should split this SMB stuff from my Leopard server and move it to a virtualized Win2K3 solution, or something else.
My shared folder setup as the home directory mounting point was named with two words (Company users). Deleting it and creating a new one simply named “Users” fixed the problem. I can now use networked homes and I also successfully used NetBoot in Diskless mode. Very nice.
I’m still unable to use networked home directories. I reinstalled the whole thing, and I still get the same results.
My Users directory is setup properly, and I can select it as a user’s home location in Workgroup Manager, but trying to login results in the following error :
“the home folder for the user account is located on an afp or smb server”.
I tried this with multiple new accounts on the server. Setting the user account’s home to “none” in Workgroup Manager enables me to login with that account, but the home is on the local hard drive, then.
I did enable network mounting to my LDAP server (127.0.0.1/LDAPv3) using AFP as the protocol and User Home directories setup as “Use for”. My test account is also in 127.0.0.1/LDAPv3.
I also enabled Guest access for it, in case it helps. I still get the same error message.
I forgot to mention that Tiger server allows me to use “Connect to server” and mount the Users folder to my desktop when I use my test account info as loginID/password. When I do this, the Users folder gets updated by the server to include a home directory for the test account. Trying to login again using that test account still gives me the same AFP/SMB error message, though.
