So, as I’ve mentioned, I’ve got a new mac, running OSX Lion Server. It comes with this little program (that is in rather un-apple style, rather lack luster) called Server.app. It’s supposed to help you manage the various server functions OSX comes with built in. However, I’ve run into issues where when logging in to the Server.app interface, it rejects my password. I saw this once, and had been screwing with some stuff, so I just reinstalled OSX as I didn’t have anything I really cared about.<\/p>\n
Well, now it’s been a few weeks, and I just installed an update for OSX and all of a sudden my logins to Server.app are failing again. (Apple, fix this. This is BS.) Anyway, I hadn’t really done anything I could think of that would screw this up, so I did a bit of google searching, and found this forum post<\/a>.<\/p>\n Worked immediately. Thank xenu. Apple needs to fix this crap. This is rather uncharacteristic for them.<\/p>\n Also, just in case in the future that forum link stops working, here’s a copy of what the instructions are. Fully quit Server.app. Open the terminal application and enter<\/p>\n “sudo launchctl load -w \/System\/Library\/LaunchDaemons\/com.apple.servermgrd.plist”<\/p>\n Then re-open Server.app and everything should work.<\/p>\n Hope my little bit of turmoil helps somebody, and a special thank you to macrumors forum member patrick0brien for doing some digging and finding this answer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So, as I’ve mentioned, I’ve got a new mac, running OSX Lion Server.
