Please note that while this article specifically defines the steps necessary to connecting to an ECN drive, it can be used to connect to other SMB and CIFS servers from a Mac as well. Follow the same steps, remembering though to swap out the domain of 'ECN' in the authentication prompt seen below for the domain related to your other server.

Or if you wish to connect to ITaP home directory servers, information from ITaP's KnowledgeBase pages may be helpful. Check out the link below for more details:

If you're curious about whether or not you should upgrade your Mac, here are a few factors to consider, as well as a way to make using your updated Mac a bit more appealing.

If you use earlier versions of macOS or Mac OS X El Capitan and you get this message, then your best recourse is to follow the second solution listed below of temporarily disabling your Mac's System Integrity Protection, known commonly as SIP. Doesn't matter if you are a Mac power user or Mac-newbie, these tools will do system testing and optimization for you. To make the most out of your Mac, regularly check its performance and easily fix any issues in no time.

NOTE: If connecting from off campus to an ECN shared drive, you will need a VPN connection.

Navigate to the link below to obtain/update the required software, if it isn't already installed on your system:

This FAQ will demonstrate how to use OS X to connect to SMB and CIFS shared volumes on the ECN network. These instructions can be applied to OS X 10.13.x (as well as other OS X versions reaching back to OS X 10.3.x). Once mapped, the volume should appear on your Desktop. If not, check out the following set of instructions on how to (re)add it there:

NOTE: The following screenshots were taken with Mac OS X 10.11.x (El Capitan), although the instructions and images are applicable to older versions (again reaching back to OS X 10.3.x).

In the Finder, navigate to your Go menu and select Connect to Server..

In the new dialog box, enter the path to the intended server. Typically, the cifs protocol is related to Windows shares where as smb is associated with UNIX. That being said, the smb protocol will work with both OS types.

In this example, I will use the server pier and the share name joesmith. The server address in this case would then be

smb://pier.ecn.purdue.edu/joesmith

All other shares will follow the same format as seen below. If you have questions about whether to use cifs or smb, contact ECN.

smb://servername.ecn.purdue.edu/sharename

cifs://servername.ecn.purdue.edu/sharename

Mac Os You Are Not Connected To The Internet

NOTE:IP addresses are also suitable in place of DNS names. Please remember to always use fully qualified domain names as well (//pier.ecn.purdue.edu/sharename as opposed to //pier/sharename).

Click the Connect button. OS X will contact the server and then display a system authentication dialog. Your input will vary depending on whether your local machine account name matches your ECN Career Account alias exactly. If it does, you can simply type the following information to sign in.

  • Name: username
  • Password: (your ECN password)

If not, you will need to alter the Name field to look like the following:

  • Name: ECNusername
  • Password: (your ECN password)

You may also wish to check 'Remember this password in my keychain,' if you plan to connect frequently or automatically when you log into your machine. Otherwise, you will be asked to enter your password every time.

Click Connect, and the shared drive will mount on your computer. You can find it either on the Desktop with an icon of a three people encased in a clear cube or in your Finder as noted earlier.

If the drive does not automatically appear on the Desktop, check out the following link for instructions on how to display it there:

Additionally, it is possible to have the drive automatically mount every time you log in. To do so, first find the drive icon on the Desktop or via Finder. Next, open up System Preferences.. from the Apple menu.

Select the Users & Groups icon. Then, click on your user name, and jump to the Login Items tab.

Drag the icon of your shared drive into the list of items, and it will be added and connect automatically when you log in.

One last note! Once you've mapped the drive you need, you should consider creating a shortcut under your 'Favorites' section of Finder (drag and drop the selected folder under 'Favorites.'

Not only will this make your directories easier to access, but it will also help to avoid navigation issues related to permissions within subfolders of your share drives when using File-->Open functionality in various applications.

Please note though that every time you disconnect from a share or lose a network connection to it, you will need to re-add the desired folder(s) to your 'Favorites.'

Type in a few keywords describing what information you are looking for in the text box below.

Admin Options: Edit this Document

Several tools are available for Macintosh System Administrators, mostly in the form of command-line shell scripts to be run from the Terminal application. Please read the comments in each script for descriptions and directions.

Running BOINC as a daemon or system service

Make_BOINC_Service.sh is a command-line shell script to set up the BOINC Client to run as a daemon at system startup. It can be used with either full GUI installations (BOINC Manager) or the stand-alone BOINC Client. (If you don't use the boinc daemon that came with the GUI installation, you should check the /Library/LaunchDaemons/edu.berkeley.boinc file that the Make_BOINC_Service.sh script generates for double slashes (//) and remove them if necessary.)

The last colony mac os.
When run as a daemon:

  • The BOINC Client always runs even when no user is logged in. However, it still observes the Activity settings as set by the Manager or the boinc_cmd application (Run always, Run based on preferences, Suspend, Snooze; Network activity always available, Network activity based on preferences, Network activity suspended.)
  • Quitting the BOINC Manager will not cause the Client to exit.
  • Most projects have upgraded their graphics to version 6 and will display graphics properly on BOINC version 6.2 and later even when running as a daemon. However, older style (version 5) application graphics (including screen saver graphics) are not available when the Client runs as a daemon.
  • The BOINC Client may not successfully detect the presence of a GPU, so BOINC Project applications may not be able to use the GPU.
  • The following apply to the full GUI installation (BOINC Manager):
    • You may need BOINC version 6.2 or later to work properly as a daemon.
    • Normally, BOINC Manager starts up automatically when each user logs in. You can change this as explained below.
    • If you wish to block some users from using BOINC Manager, move it out of the /Applications directory into a directory with restricted permissions. Due to the Manager's internal permissions, you can move it but cannot copy it. See Client security and sandboxing for more information.

Disabling auto-launch of BOINC Manager

By default, BOINC Manager starts up automatically when each user logs in. You can override this behavior by removing the BOINC Manager Login Item for selected users, either via the Accounts System Preferences panel or by creating a nologinitems.txt file in the BOINC Data folder. This should be a plain text file containing a list of users to be excluded from auto-launch, one user name per line.

An easy way to create this file is to type the following in terminal, then edit the file to remove unwanted entries:

After creating this file, run the installer. The installer will delete the Login Item for each user listed in the file. Entries which are not names of actual users are ignored (e.g., Shared, Deleted Users.)

Using BOINC's security features with the stand-alone BOINC Client

Beginning with version 5.5.4, the Macintosh BOINC Manager Installer implements additional security to protect your computer data from potential theft or accidental or malicious damage by limiting BOINC projects' access to your system and data, as described in Client security and sandboxing. We recommend that stand-alone BOINC Client installations also take advantage of this protection. You can do this by running the Mac_SA_Secure.sh command-line shell script after installing the stand-alone Client, and again any time you upgrade the Client.

Although we don't recommend it, you can remove these protections by running the Mac_SA_Insecure.sh script.

Moving BOINC Manager or BOINC Data Folder to a Different Drive

It is possible to run BOINC on the Mac with the BOINC Manager application or the BOINC Data folder on a drive other than the boot drive. This is complicated a bit by the need to set up the special permissions for BOINC's sandbox security, but it can be done. These instructions are provided with no warranty; use them at your own risk.

Here are instructions for moving both the application and the data (you can move either or both):

Shortcut: instead of typing a path in the Terminal application, you can drag a folder or file from a Finder window onto the Terminal window. If you do this, omit the quotation marks around the path!

[1] Quit BOINC.

[2] If you only want to move the BOINC Manager application, skip to step [4].

Copy the BOINC Data directory from the '/Library/Application Support/' directory to the desired drive. Rename the original BOINC Data directory or move it to a different directory on your boot drive as a backup safety measure. In any case, you must now not have a '/Library/Application Support/BOINC Data' directory before the next step.

[3] Create a symbolic link to the new BOINC Data directory in place of the old one. Enter the following in the Terminal application:

Substituting your new path for {newDataPath}; for example: '/Volumes/newDrive/myData'.

[4] If you only want to move the BOINC Data, skip to step [5].

Copy BOINCManager.app from '/Applications/BOINCManager.app' to the desired drive, and move the original into the trash. (The Finder may not show the filename extension '.app').

Givekisstoneighbor2d mac os. Create a symbolic link to the new copy in place of the old one. Enter the following in the Terminal application:

Substituting your new path for {newAppPath}; for example: '/Volumes/newDrive/myApps'

[5] IMPORTANT: you must create symbolic links. Macintosh aliases created with the Finder will not work!

Run the script Mac_SA_Secure.sh to set up proper permissions at the new locations. Enter the following in the Terminal application:

where {newDataPath} is as above and {path} is the path to the Mac_SA_Secure.sh script. (As before, you can drag the Mac_SA_Secure.sh file from a Finder window onto the Terminal window instead of typing its path.)

[6] Relaunch BOINC.

IMPORTANT: Each time you run the installer, you will need to repeat this. You may also need to repeat it after upgrading to a new version of Mac OSX. The installer will replace the symbolic link to the Manager with the new Manager, and will replace the symbolic link to the BOINC Data directory with a new initialized BOINC Data directory with no projects attached. You must:

  • cancel out of the 'Attach to Project' dialog
  • quit BOINC
  • move that new initialized BOINC Data directory to the trash
  • repeat steps [2] through [4].

Note: according to this discussion, the target drive must have 'Owners Enabled' set.

For safety, always make a backup copy of your BOINC Data before performing these steps.

Selecting which users may run BOINC Manager

Due to new restrictions imposed by OS 10.6 Snow Leopard, there has been a change in BOINC's security implementation. Non-administrative users can no longer run BOINC Manager unless they are added to group boinc_master.

As of BOINC 6.10.5, the BOINC installer asks whether or not you wish to add all non-admin users to group boinc_master. (As before, the installer automatically adds all users with administrative privileges [i.e., users who are members of group admin] to group boinc_master.)

If you need more selective control over which users should be in group boinc_master, you can use the command-line tool AddRemoveUser.

Mac Os You Have Not Chosen To Trust Citrix

To add user1, user2 and user3 to group boinc_master, enter the following in the Terminal application:

where {path} is the path to the AddRemoveUser application.This also sets a login item for each specified user so that BOINC Manager will start automatically when that user logs in.

You can also use:

This is the same as the -a option and also sets BOINC as the screensaver for the specified users.

To remove user1, user2 and user3 from group boinc_master, enter the following in the Terminal application:

This also removes the BOINCManager login item for each specified user. If any of the specified users had BOINC set as their screensaver, it will change their screensaver to Flurry.

Installing BOINC on a Mac using the command line

In some situations, such as remote or automated installs, it is more convenient to install BOINC Manager via the command line instead of the GUI. But there is no way to respond to dialogs during a command-line install.

Apple's command-line installer sets the following environment variable:

The postinstall script, postupgrade script, and this Postinstall.app detect this environment variable and do the following:

  • Redirect the Postinstall.app log output to a file /tmp/BOINCInstallLog.txt.
  • Suppress the 2 dialogs (asking whether to allow non-admin users to manage BOINC and whether to use the BOINC screensaver.)
  • test for the existence of a file /tmp/nonadminusersok.txt; if the file exists, allow non-administrative users to run BOINC Manager.
  • test for the existence of a file /tmp/setboincsaver.txt; if the file exists, set BOINC as the screensaver for all BOINC users.

Not_you Mac Os X

The BOINC installer package to be used for command line installs can be found embedded inside the GUI BOINC Installer application at:

Example: To install on a remote Mac from the command line, allowing non-admin users to run the BOINC Manager and setting BOINC as the screensaver:First SCP the 'BOINC.pkg' to the remote Mac's /tmp directory, then SSh into the remote Mac and enter the following:
