Allow restricted user to change Proxy Settings

I have an OS X 10.4.11 MacBook Pro that has 2 accounts. One local administrator account and one restricted Network mobile account authenticating against an LDAP domain. All users are required to go through a proxy to get out to the internet. The proxy is not accessible outside our network. This means the proxy settings have to be change when the user takes his laptop out of the office. However since the user has a restricted account he does not have permission to change the proxy information.
Is there away I can allow this user to change the proxy settings or even change a Network Location with out giving him administrator privileges.?

Hi msaner, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Haven't found the answer just yet, but...
/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemUIServer.app/Contents/Resources/Autoload.plis t
contained some interesting strings after finding changing permissions on the PrefPanes didn't work, like...

How to restrict non root users from changing proxy settings Ubuntu 12.04?

I have two Ubuntu 12.04 Desktops with Ncomputing vSpace software configured for remote terminal users of Ncomputing L300 thin clients. Both these desktops have Squid configured and connected to internet. So in a way users logging in to these machines can directly access internet without squid. Now users can remove the proxy and have unrestricted access anytime. Which is the reason I want to enforce proxy on users settings which they cannot change. I am fine if the settings makes it mandatory for root or sudo user of Ubuntu. Is this possible ?

Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
Place a local-settings.js file in the defaults\pref folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

Restrict users from changing roles

Is there a way to restrict users from changing roles
themselves? If a user goes to My Connections and then clicks Edit,
they could, in theory, change to any group they want--except to the
administrator group because you have to enter a password. If the
admin isn't watching the site 24/7, the user can change their roll,
let's say from a writer to a publisher, and publish something
before the admin can notice.
Is there anything that can be done to restrict that?

You can use connection keys...this will only allow a user to
change their name and email address (I think...I can check on this
tomorrow). We use these at my work and it allows for a lot more
control over who is assigned to the proper groups.

Hi All,i am currently working on a flex application that will allow the user to change the language

Hi All,i am currently working on a flex application that will allow the user to change the language within the application from english to Japanese and vice versa. And everything works fine.
I am using flex 4.5
We allow the user to save records with english or japanese texts.
problem
When the user manually enters Japanese text and tries to save it the record defaults back to the default name (which is in english). But if you copy the entered text and paste it and then save it.It works fine.
Any idea , why this is happening?
Please let me know if the question is not clear.
Looks like there was already a bug
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-28894?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.iss uetabpanels:all-tabpanel
Not sure why does it say , Resolved .

By Payal integration , you mean paypal button html ? or payment gateway setup etc ? If its a gateway configuration for your site domain then single page for all layout will work , but if you are using button code for all renditions then you would need to create separate pages for all.
Thanks,

Display some constant in the input field and allow the user to change it.

Dear All,
I have a requirement in WDA to display inputfield with some constant initially and allow
the user to change that value according to his wish.Currently I am using UI Element
InputField for this,but I am not able to show the constant initially.
How can I achieve this pls suggest.
Thanks,
Reddy.

Hi sudhir,
To display with default values, you need to write your code in wddointi method.
Check this code..
* navigate from <CONTEXT> to <INPUT> via lead selection
lo_nd_input = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_input ).
* get element via lead selection
lo_el_input = lo_nd_input->get_element( ).
lv_ship_point = '1001'.
* set single attribute
lo_el_input->set_attribute(
name = `SHIP_POINT`
value = lv_ship_point ). // Now ship_point have initial value 1001.
Cheers,
Kris.

How to Restrict users to change password

Hi All,
I would like to restrict user to change password only defined number of times in a day, Is it possible to do it through group policies.
Please note i am already aware of "Minimum Password age" feature, however i do not want to use it as the minimum value that i can set here is 1 day. I would like to restrict users based on password reset threshold e.g. User can reset his password
in a day only twice or thrice.
Thanx & Regards,
Wasim Parkar

If you want to limit the user to have his/her password changed for a specific number of time every day, I have to say
NO thats not possible. PSO's as other mentioned,can be used to have different password policies. Maybe you can set the msDS-MinimumPasswordAge
to 00:04:00:00 which is equal to 4 hours. It means every 4 hours a user will be able to change his/her password. So in each day a user can change the password 6 times, since a day is 24 hours.
Do not forget a day start from 00:00 AM up to 11:59 PM. So in a 9 to 5 job, a user may change the password 2-3 times.
Hope it helps.

How to restrict user to change status.

Dear All,
we want to restrict users to change the status from set to assign to released status.
is there any authorization object to restirct user to change status?
i was trying with object CPRO_DPO Create Project Definition with activity 43 release ,but unable to do so.
Please do need ful
Regards
Ravindra

Hi Ravi,
probably you need to create user status profile.
Use TA BS02 to create status profile
here you have to add authorization key which needs to be defined in BS52
use b_user_stat auth object to give profiles in custom roles in PFCG
Thus you can block access to change status
Niranjan
Let me know if it helps

Restricting user from changing price in me22n after goods receipt

i want to restrict the users from changing the price of the material in me22n after after goods receipt.
pls tell me the userexit for it with detail.

Okay, then let me play the role of the bad man.
Why would you need to restrict users from changing a price after GR ?
Do you think that users are changing prices just for fun or to mess up the system?
Have you talked to users why they want change the price after a GR?
do you have an alternative plan, for the case that the price really needs to be changed to be able to post the invoice? do you want to cancel always the GR in this case? Is is possible? What if the stock is already issued? do you then want to cancel the entire chain? what if a month end closure was already done?

Hi Geek,
SSP works only if you're passing some parameters.Not true. it depends on the configuration.
If I rewrite your statement Arguments must have checksum will only work if you pass some parameters in the url.
But there is also another setting called No URL Access this prevents loading the page using a url Instead it should be processed via branch
This is what it says in the documentation:
No URL Access - The page may not be accessed using a URL,
however the page may be the target of a Branch to Page branch type,
which does not do a URL redirect.

Update hosts file and Change proxy settings for all users on Mac

I am in a large environment with many Mac users. We have a Windows based proxy server that we are switching over within a few weeks. So far we are manually having to go to each Mac and change the proxy settings under the users account. This is a very long and painstaking process as users are on vacation etc. and our cutoff date is fast approaching for the old proxy.
we also are having to log into each workstation as administrator go into the terminal and so sudo passwd root then change the password then do sudo vi /etc/hosts to edit the hosts file.
Is there a way to change the proxy server setting for safari and firefox globally without having to log in as each user on the Mac ?
Or is there an automated way through a script that the users can run ?
These macs authenticate to active directory. They do not have a mac server but I was told to post this question here versus the desktop area.

Most browsers include an [automatic proxy configuration (PAC) mechanism|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_auto-config] and the transparent configuration of proxies, and Safari and Firefox are no different here.
The usual approach here is to have folks visit a site and select the PAC file, or to push the file out. Here is a comfiguration example from [UConn|http://helpdesk.uconn.edu/trouble/proxy/autoprox.html], and another from [Rice|http://proxy.rice.edu/setup.php], and there are others around and visible via Google.
The [pactester|http://code.google.com/p/pactester> tool might be useful, too.
If y'all get some DNS entries set up (various web browsers have [Web Proxy Auto Discovery (WPAD)|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebProxy_AutodiscoveryProtocol], when last I checked [Safari needed a little help|http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090711031033128]) and have your firewall raise an appropriate diagnostic page, you won't have to go through this again, either.
None of this stuff is particularly specific to Mac OS X or to Safari; the PAC stuff is fairly generic, and WPAD is used with various boxes. (Try Safari with WPAD, but you might still need to reference that PAC file. And if you do, using WPAD-compliant naming would probably be a reasonable approach.)
The hosts files? You're really still using those? Any chance you can get real DNS working? That's a whole lot less work, and now is the time to deploy that; if you're going to mess with everything, then you can use that effort and that requirement to (also) move forward in your networking capabilities.

Remove/Change Proxy Settings Without Logging In

Is there a way to change the proxy settings without logging in?
Our proxy server went down and Spiceworks will not allow pro users to log in because of it. I can't change the settings because I can't login. Does anyone know of a way to change the settings another way?
We can't login on the server or via workstations. This only affects pro users.
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

HI Norm,
Open System Preferences/Network. Select Airport in the panel in the left then click the Advanced tab then click the Proxies tab. Where you see: Select a protocol to configure Make sure there are NO boxes checked.
Click the Airport tab in that same window. Make sure your network is listed under: Preferred Networks
If not, cick + Type in your network name or click Show Networks and select it from there. Your network should be listed in the Preferred Networks window now. Just below that window select the box next to: Remember networks this computer has joined.
If you still have problems, open Airport Utility (Applications/Utilities)
Select your device on the left then click Continue. In the next window click: I want to restore this AirPort device to its factory settings and then set it up again; then click Continue.
I'm on Comcast without using any Proxies.
You can disconnect the Comcast cable modem from it's power source for about 5 minutes then reconnect. Sometimes you have to recycle the modem.
AirPort troubleshooting guide
Also, on the G5. Go to /Library/Preferences/System Configuration and move these files to the Trash.
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
com.apple.nat.plist
com.apple.network.identification.plist
You may only see the com.apple.airport.preferences.plist file in that list since it's running 10.5.x
Don't worry about the other .plist files if they are not available.

Allow Domain Users to Change Their Time On Workstation

Is there a way to allow authenticated users on the domain to change their time on their workstations? Ive added Domain Users, Domain Computers and Users to the Computer Configuration/Policies/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Local Policies/User Rights
Assignment in the Default Domain Policy but nothing seems to change. Ive forced the GP update as well.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Scottdog129,
Based on my understanding, you have configured a GPO which allow that authenticated users can change system time. However, this GPO does
not apply successfully. Right?
In addition to jkrato's suggestion, please follow the steps below to check if the GPO is applied to the clients. It is useful for us to narrow down the cause:
Click
Start, type rsop.msc in the search box to access
Resultant set of policy.
Check if the GPO is applied to these clients and the setting of the GPO is correct.
In addition, if the GPO has applied to these clients, please check if there are some other GPOs have conflicts with this GPO in these clients.
For your information ,please refer to the article Change the system time to get more help:

Restrict users to change value in user id field in SM36

Hi,
Our users are currently given authorization objects S_BTCH_NAM, S_BTCH_ADM and S_TCH_JOB in order to be able create background jobs and execute using batch admin userid, and not under their own userid.
I like to know is there way to restrict users to execute transaction SM35, SM36, SM37 to create a job under another person's userid.
I am looking at grey off the userid field in SM35, SM36, SM37 when users execute these t-code in online mode. I want to restrict them from schedule job to run under another person userid.
However, if users perform a transaction and call a customised program to create a batch job in background to be executed under batch_admin userid, without failing the job.
How can it be achieved? Does SAP allows configuration to grey off userid field?

The problem is that our customized program will first create a job under user "X" userid for audit trail purpose. Because user "X"does not have necessary authorization to perform full update of all other transactions or tables update, in the job, the program will indicate a non-user account with SAP_ALL authorization to perform the update.
Since your custom program check for S_BTCH_ADM and S_BTCH_NAM from User's authorization we cannot put S_BTCH_ADM=N there and in that case, users would be able to create jobs with other user ID by executing SM36 directly.
Option 1: Discuss with your developer if it is possible to create a custom exit in the Sm36 program to perform the above authorization check in your Batch user ID's authorization instead of your dialog users. In that case your custom program would run as expected as long as your Batch user ID has proper authorizations for S_BTCH_ADM and S_BTCH_NAM and your dialog users can be restricted to S_BTCH_ADM= N
Option2: Create a transaction variant for SM36 in tcode SHD0 and make field "User" invisible and then link the transaction variant to a custom tcode which is to be created with start type "Transaction with Variant (variant transaction)".
Please refer to an SDN article for process of [creation of a transaction variant and linking it to a variant transaction|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/40d1443e-0184-2c10-c68d-c612f771fe6f?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]
Then have your custom program updated to call the custom tcode instead of SM36 and modify your user's roles to replace SM36 authorization with ZSM36 (Check indicator values of SM36 are pulled into the role). This will ensure your custom program can create jobs under a different user whereas when your user executes SM36 online, the field to change 'user' will not be visible and by default they would be forced to create jobs under their own IDs inspite of having S_BTCH_ADM=Y and S_BTCH_NAM= <your Batch user ID>
Hope this helps!

Changing proxy settings

I am on a public wifi network and when I try and log into certain websites it tells me that it's not trusted. How can i change the proxy settings so I can allow those webpages?

The button takes you through to a tab in your Internet Options control panel, manu. So let's try getting into that via your Windows control panel.
Go "Start > Control Panel". If you're in Category view, switch to Classic view.
Open your "Internet Options" control panel. Click the "Connections" tab. Now you're where you would be if the "Change settings" button in the safari preferences was working for you.
