Q: Lion Server not longer accept airport admin password

Hi there

 

Having mac MIni (late2011) and installed Lion Server 10.4.7 together with a Airport Extreme.

Problem detected lately: When managing units (Airport Extreme) the Main Password to manage the Airport is not longer accepted when entered (asked by) server application. The password is valid and I am able to have full control over the base station when I am using the Airport utility application. Reseting and complete new installation of the Airoprt Extreme does not bring the wished result of being capable to manage the Airport Extreme thru Server Software.

Does anybody have a Idea how to correct this behaviour?

 

Thansk in advance

Thomas

    Did you manage to resolve this?

     

    I'm not sure when this problem started to occur for me, but after some update, I can no longer use Server Admin remotely or the Server tool on Lion Server. My credentials are correct but they are rejected by both of these applications.

     

    Help!!!

    Found this KB article which appears to have fixed things:

    I've had the same issue but just using lion server.

    The article mentioned above

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3960?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

     

    Is of no help.  Already using server 10.7.5 and the terminal command returns loaded.  So the 2 suggestions are not applicable.

    Does any one have any other ideas.

    Had the same issue today randomly and found a thread stating that "Apple knew about this and was working on it". I solved it trying all of theses steps each on their own and it did not work BUT did work in this order for me.

     

    -On the server shut down airport utility and server app if you have them open.

     

    -Go to /Library/Server/ move Network folder to trash and empty

     

    -Open the keychain and search for airport, erase all that come up

     

    -Command line steps (so in Terminal)

    sudo rm /var/db/.ServerSetupDone

    sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "delete :managedIGD" /Library/Server/Network/Config/autoportmap.plist

    sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "delete :lastIGD" /Library/Server/Network/Config/autoportmap.plist

    (at this point it should say it can't find 'lastIGD")

     

    reboot

     

    -open airport utility and enter password for airport app leave open

     

    -open server app, run through config then enter password for airport

     

    This was basically all of the steps I found on various forums and seems to be either a keychain permissions issue or some funky server app issue.
