This option no longer works in the new Airport version as apple removed the disconnect all users button; however, the concept still works. I unplugged my Airport Extreme and then my disk. Turned them back on (router first) and everything worked - thanks.

The following simple method posted above, by "Tom Dibble," worked perfect for me:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Posted by Tom Dibble -

Another route which doesn't require unplugging the disk from the Airport, is to select the Airport Extreme in Airport Utility, then go to the menu bar "Base Station" then "Restart".

The upside is that you don't need to walk over to the base station and unplug thing / wait for a few seconds / plug back in. The downside is that anyone connecting to the base station via wireless (or at all, if this is acting as your router) will lose access to the internet / network for a few seconds while it reboots. Assuming you have everything set up to remember that base station network everything will just reconnect a few seconds later, and unless there is a download or Hulu stream going on you probably won't even notice :)

In response to: Time Machine not completing backup due to backup disk already in use

UPDATE NOTE:
If you are using a newer version of Airport Utility there is no "disconnect all users" button.
Solution: Manually disconnect users (turn off access with each machine.) For us this just meant turning off wi-fi on each machine since we're on a time capsule.

Then just unplug the time capsule (or disc.) Wait a bit and plug back in.

Worked great! Thanks!!!

Thank you for the info. As an FYI, this worked on the Solaris box I was using:

It printed a couple of warnings but produced an md5sum in the end.

In response to: CruiseControl, Jetty, and default page

Dibyanshu Jaiswal [Visitor]
I couldn't get the above information. please can you elaborate as per my context:
after the Jetty server is running via my java application on opening the page "http://localhost:portnumber" it shows a Error 404 No context found to the server.

I would like to show Welcome page for my application instead of the error page.
The server is assigned to a directory to recognize .war file and hence run web apps.
i would like to show a list of webapps available on the default page of my server.
thanks in advance. reply soon.

Totally works. Airport Utility is different on OS X Lion but same concept applies. Just need to turn Time Machine backups off temporarily, manually disconnect drive from Airport, plug back in, and turn Time Machine back on with selected drive.

This worked perfectly! Airport Utility may have changed its interface for Lion, but disconnecting the drive, powering it off, and reconnecting it fixed the problem for me.

Philip Vitkus

In response to: Prepare a RedHat Kickstart server automatically...

Philip Vitkus [Visitor]
So Mathias, please confirm. Typically a kickstart server stores a kickstart tool - a file - that someone can use to boot a network, install a network, push an OS to a server.

Whereas a jumpstart server is something that has a tool that does this without human intervention (i.e., unattended).

Yes?

Great stuff. I have this working fine. Now downstream I want to use site minder to sso auto login.

How can I tell tomcat to populate http headers with info from the ldap record, eg. first name, last name, user name.

The authorization header is there, but what I really want is a header with the remote user in it, eg. the username I logged in with.

Filipe Vieira [Visitor]
Hi,

I've found this article very useful for my project, I just have one question.

Is it possible to select x users from a single role to gain access?

For example, my AD have a role named "users" with the user "u1","u2" and "u3".


And after i define the role name:

<role-name>users</role-name>

I just want u1 and u3 to gain access.

Thanks!
