Server cannot access my AEBS

Unfortunately, I'm having the same issue. I've considered calling Apple but since my Mac Mini is outside of the 90 day phone support window, I'm sure they'll want me to pay for the service or have me purchase AppleCare to extend the phone coverage.

All the port forwarding and everything works but nothing shows up in the Server Pane under Basestation.

I'm also surprised that no one else has had the issue. Myself and 2 others in my thread have it and now you mark the 4th person I know of that has the issue.

Here's hoping someone will shed some light on this soon.

I don't know if this will help but here's what happened today.

While I was out of the house, I wanted to see if the VPN connection was still active and working on my phone. It told me that it couldn't log in so no big deal. I figured I'd check it when I got home.

I got home and checked the Server settings for VPN and sure enough, it was off. I turned the VPN setting to ON and let it write its information. I then went to the AEBS tab on the left pane and it asked me for the password. Once I put in the password for the AEBS, it worked just fine.

So far what I've done was erase any Keychain passwords related to the AEBS and turned on VPN service to get it working. Don't know if that'll work for everyone else but hopefully it does. Seems it's a tiny bug that should be stomped out rather quickly as it's a huge piece of OS X Server.

This did not affect my system on either my Mac Mini server, or on my MacBook Pro which I use as an administration workstation. I get no option to re-enter the password.

I was able to fix this by:

1. Exit the Server app.
2. Open Keychain Access and search all items for "Airport".

   Delete all of them.

3. Navigate Finder to /Library/Server/
4. Delete the folder named "Network".
5. Restart Server app.

Good luck.

This seems to be the solution for now. After following these five steps, the AEBS in the Hardware pane of Server app asks for the AEBS admin password again, connects, and then everything works.

I was having the same problem and this fixed it.

This solution worked for my Time Capsule as well. VPN was initially off and it didn't work - solution was to turn it on then back off.

This solved my issue as well. Amazingly, doing this on my Mac Mini server also fixed the issue on my MacBook Pro admin workstation. It seems that something is "fixed" on the Time Capsule that then affects other clients running Server.app.

Confirmed. Fixing this on the mini server also caused the problem to go away on my admin MBP. I have no idea what fixing it on the server changed on the TC. Weird.

Wonderfull now can control the AEBS but can anyone tell me how to get ca adrdress and message back as they still give the pesky getResourceList plug in message

In reponse to rephlex00

Well done rephlex00, fixed my problem. My guess is that there must be a lot of folks out there withe the same problem. Apple server team any response..............?

rephlex00:

Your 5 steps worked for me too.

Thanks for posting this!

For me it helped to run the restoreAirportSettings in /Library/Server/.UninstallExtras/ after the steps provided by rephlex00 didn't seem to show succes.
