Summary:

This article explains the functions of the check_afp process (occasionally called afp_check) that runs on each Macintosh client.

Description:

Some of the the functions check_afp provides include:

Summary:

MassTransit allows you to require all web clients to select either a Forwarding Contact or a Remote Service before uploading files to the MassTransit server.

For information on how to require MassTransit 7 web clients to select either a Forwarding Contact or a Remote Service before uploading files to the MassTransit 7 server, please refer to MTWeb.

Symptom:

Instead of loading the MTWeb login page (or any other MTWeb page), I see a page with the error message "Could not get exclusive lock to application data file."

Steps to Reproduce:

Configure MTWeb normally, but do not grant write permissions to the "parsed" and "templates_c" folders. Load the MTWeb site in a browser.

Summary:

By default, the Active Directory plug-in on Macintosh OS X clients (version 10.3.3 and later), will use the SMB protocol when mounting a user's network share point.

Through the use of the dsconfigad command line utility, the default protocol for mounting network share points may be changed to the Apple File Protocol (AFP).

Question:

Why do some Intel Macintoshes fail to reconnect to the server after a temporary loss of network connectivity?

Answer:

A bug in the Macintosh OS X Finder prevents clients logging in with the Kerberos authentication mechanism from an Intel Macintosh from reconnecting to the server. Users that have temporary network connectivity issues will not automatically reconnect to the server, and instead will need to manually re-login to the server. All changed documents they had open at the time of the incident will be lost and the files may be corrupted.

Summary:

When receiving forwarded files, the replacement permissions for the sender apply, not the replacement permissions for the originating user.

Description:

When a forwarded file is received that duplicates a file already in the Received mailbox, the replacement privileges of the sender of the file, not the originating user, are used to determine whether to reject the incoming file or overwrite the existing file.

Summary:

If ExtremeZ-IP encounters a crash, sometimes the best source of information is retrieved from a Dr. Watson Log. Dr. Watson gathers stack information and obtains symbols from ExtremeZ-IP to aid in figuring out where the crash occured.

For Dr. Watson to work, it must be "installed" as the default application debugger. Upon reboot this information can be lost and when a crash does occur Dr. Watson may not catch the crash. This document will explain how to configure Windows so Dr. Watson is allways installed on startup.

There are two registry tweaks specific to Windows 2003 servers which will improve performance under certain conditions. These changes are recommended for our customers who have:

• A large number of files shared out.
• Folders containing a lot of items (browsing large folders).
• A lot of users or if the server is under heavy load.
• Background processes that monitor the file system for changes such as Windows Search.

• Acronis Access Connect (formerly ExtremeZ-IP)

Question:

Will Choose IP Printer work in Mac OS X Classic Mode?

Answer:

No. Choose IP Printer is not supported in Mac OS X Classic Mode. In order to use Choose IP Printer, the Mac client must be booted into Mac OS 9.

Group Logic recommends using the built-in Chooser and printing using AppleTalk to the Acronis Access Connect IP Print Server from within Mac OS X Classic Mode.

Introduction

mobilEcho clients connect to mobilEcho servers on port 443 by default.

If the mobilEcho server that contains your home directory shared volume(s) is configured to use a port other than 443, you will need to create a Network reshare path mapping that points to the correct mobilEcho server and share on the correct port. This will allow the mobilEcho client to know to connect to the server on the non-default port.

mobilEcho accepts SSL user identity certificates for authentication with an HTTPS Reverse Proxy server. When using reverse proxy for access, if you have enabled certificate authentication as your login method, the mobilEcho client app will be automatically challenged for a user identity certificate when it attempts to use the proxy server to access a mobilEcho server. In order for authentication to take place, an SSL user identity certificate must be added to the mobilEcho client app.

Question:

How can I set mobilEcho and activEcho to listen on the same port on one computer?

Answer:

If activEcho and mobilEcho are installed on one computer, they can both listen on the same port (e.g. 443) only if they are bound to different IP addresses (multi-homing). Follow the steps below:
