Apple - All P...

After installing a Certificate Identity into the System keychain, the certificate appears in Server App or Server Admin, however the server services may not utilize the selected certificate. It may appear that the certificate is being used for the services, however when connecting to the service, it may not establish a connection.
OS X Server (Mountain Lion) symptoms: After selecting the certificate from the Certificates pane in Server App, the drop down menu may switch to a previously set certificate or to Custom. If a connection is attempted to a service set to use the new certificate, it may not establish the connection.

Digging in to Java 7: Poor LaunchDaemon Usage
AFP548

Tim Sutton has a post that talks about how Java 7 uses LaunchDaemons in a very poor fashion.  The amount of poor scripting and LaunchDaemon usage is quite sad.  It makes one wonder how Java 7 works at all on OS X.

Fixing Broken Software I: Logitech Control Center
AFP548

This is part one of a series on dealing with the issues software can cause in enterprise environments, and how to combat these issues.
One of the most important skills in a Mac Admin’s toolbox is being able to identify and work around issues with vendor software.  Many vendors release software packages that are ill-suited for use with management tools such as Munki and Casper, and it is important to know how to dig into these issues to be able to support a managed environment.
If you are buying non-Apple mice and keyboards, it is very likely that they are Logitech models.  If an admin wants the full functionality of these devices,  OS X needs the drivers and control panel that Logitech distributes as the Logitech Control Center.  This installs a .prefPane as well as drivers for most modern Logitech input devices.
However, Logitech’s installer is not friendly for... | Read more »
