Q: disabling SSL open domain server. How?

Hi all,

 

Can anybody elicidate to me how I can disable the SLL on a Open Domain OSX server?

 

In

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5300

it is explained that you have to disable SSL prior to updating OSX from Mountain Lion with OSX server 2.2 to OSX MAvericks with server 3.

 

Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks already

OSX server, OS X Server

    Nobody with a tip on *how* this "disable SSL" advice has to be executed?

     

    Nobody listening @ Apple how to read their vague technical advise?

    In the Server app, go to Certificates, Custom and set open directory to None

    Hi UptimeJeff,

     

    Thanks for the tip. I now found the SLL I was looking for, and I this helped me to find out I already done that (unknowingly).

     

    Tested this, updated to Mavericks, then updated to server 3 app.

    Result is still the same:

    Unable to log into server app to finish server configuration.

    Again!

     

    Rolled back to Mountain Lion server backup

    Again!

    and will stay there for the moment.

    Mavericks with Server 3 app is just not functional.

    did you check logs?

    /Library/Logs/ServerSetup.log

     

    Do you run mail ?

    If so, the upgrade process can take hours if you have a large mailstore (it's duplicated so the original remains on the drive) I know it was this was with 10.8, prettys sure its the same with 10.9

     

    Watch the log while the Server.app starts and watch what it's doing.

     

    Maybe you just didn't wait long enough?

    Or maybe its stuck on one service.

    Hi UptimeJeff,

     

    Thanks for the reply.

     

    I have rolled back three times from Mavericks to Mountain Lion server and will now stay there for some month until the quirks are ironed out. Mavericks OSX server is just to cumbersome right now.

     

    So no email log to check at the moment.

     

    But the email archives were not too big and the server had a full good night to do that.

    The problem was strictly that server 3 app does not open after download and install and therefore does not let me finish configuration of the server.

     

    Thanks anyway.
