Problems with User Privileges - Help required Novice Server Experience

Hi, We have an old Xserve runing Mac OS X 10.2.8.
I have shared the 3 drives out no problem. The problem I have is with Workgroup Manager 1.2.2. I have set 4 User accounts with their own username and password to access the drives which works fine, but if one User modifies a file or puts a new file on to the Server another user has only read access to that file from the server, and if they try to copy the file/folder to their local machine a warning box comes up saying that they have Insufficent Privileges.
It seems each User can only work on their individual files which is problem when we all need access to the same files/folders.
What do I need to do?
Many Thanks
Richard

Hi Richard.
You need to create a Group, and add all of your Users to that Group.
Make the owner of the sharepoint your admin account (who can be added to the Group, or not), and make the Group , well, the new Group you've created.
Set permissions for the Group to Read & Write.
In Workgroup Manager, Sharing, Share Points
select AFP and then choose “Inherit permissions from parent"
This is all in the 10.2 Server Admin, worth reading. The 10.4 docs are far better and it's a worthwhile upgrade if that's in the cards at all.

Problem with user privilege

Hi all,
I got this problem with one user, its a weird one. A user, let say userA, when he tries to check in a doc, an error saying that he don't has privilege to do a check in appear (even though he has successfully do check in a few time before), after he got this error, from this point of time onward he can't do any check in again. Everything is set up properly, and the other user, let say userB who has the same role as userA don't encounter this kind of problem. Many times it happened, and every time I need to delete that user and recreate the user to fix the prob, but after a few success check in, the problem occurs again.
Has anybody encounter this problem before? There's no problem with other user, only this one user got this problem.
Thanks in advance.
regards,
d.s.

Are the users in the DB or in a directory?
Does the user still have the correct roles in the DB and when you look at the 'My Profile' page?

Problems with iBook, urgent help required...

Hi, a few months ago, i went to the power settings and checked the option for shut-down at midnight and power on at 6am... Then just last week, i unchecked the option for the automatic on/off... But since then, my iBook still does its' routine... BTW, i made sure that the option is unchecked every night as i leave my com on throughout the night ti download stuff, but it still does what i programmed it to do months ago, even after i readjusted the settings...
I have tried resetting the PMU, but to no avail...
AND...
Whenever i log in to MSN, the display picture will be the picture from my User Account on my iBook... I have changed it serveral times to my desired picture but when i log in again the next day, the picture is still the one from my administrator account... And also, every time i close my conversation windows, the application will ask me whether to save my conversations even though i have alsready selected automatically save all conversation... The last problem is very often with no apparent reason, the application logs out on it's own, sometimes in the middle of a conversation...So what is wrong with my MSN and what should i do about it...?

Hi Linuxuser,
I also would suggest not using MSN. I find it to be a pain, and you have more capabilities with other programs. I really like using iChat. I love the Mac feel of iChat so I configured iChat to work with MSN through Jabber. The link below might help if you are interested:
Using iChat/Jabber to work with MSN
To have iChat work with other programs like Jabber, ICQ, MSN and Yahoo, you can use a similar technique. Here is one way of doing it:
iChat Jabber Tutorial
There also is a link to the thread Does iChat work with Jabber, ICQ, MSN, and Yahoo?
I hope that helps,

Problems with User Accounts connecting to the server

I created couple of user accounts but the users can not connect to their accounts from the computer lab. i want to know how properly set the accounts to login to any computer in the lab.

Welcome to the forums. You need to:
1. Bind your desktop machines to your Open Directory master
2. Create groups and user accounts in WorkGroup Manager which allow your users to log into those computers
You will find the User Admin documents here useful:

Run with user privileges but write to restricted folder

In Windows Server 2008 R2 (and in an Active Directory domain), the login and logoff scripts are run with user privileges.
Suppose that I run script1.ps1, when user1 logs in; I need that script1.ps1 is associated to user1, because it will write some informations about that user: it modifies a log file in a folder. Anyway, script1.ps1 will be run with user1 privileges.
I obviously made that file and that folder accessible (readable/writable) to user1: but I actually don't want the user to modify that log file. I would like that
only the script could do it.
Is there a way to work around this problem? Maybe should I run script1.ps1 in a different way?

Henry. You can add a subscription to a server that subscribes t event log entries on user computers. Subscribe to the logon/logoff events. Now you have a central repository of logon and logoff events.
There is no way to accomplish what you are asking to do. Any file that can be written to in logon script or during a user session can be changed by the user.
Bil is suggesting a "startup" script that runs when the user logs on and not when the computer starts. A user startup script runs as the user and not system.
Another method is to schedule a script that run at logon. This can run as system and write to a file that the user cannot change.

Problem with users disabling ARD client service

I've got a problem and i'm not quite sure of the work around. I'm a PC guy by nature and can't quite figure this out.
I'm having a problem with users disabling the ARD service from the sharing menu. Unfortunately users need to have admin privleges to do their work so I can't simply give them a standard account.
I've hidden the ARD user account i created from the login window through Netinfo, but I need to find a way to stop users from shutting the ard service down.
They don't seem to understand that the company requires that it be on the computer. Now, I'm the one who is set as the admin for ARD in the building, however we really just use it to rollout drivers, install packages, and its a lifesaver for remotely fixing problems with programs. The company didn't really buy it to spy on the employee's.
Is there any way to hide the service from an admin level account? Or keep them from shutting it down?
BTW, this would have to be done on multiple machines running both panther and tiger.
Any help would be appreciated as I'm not quite sure where to start.

First, as a matter of policy, let them know this service is active, and needs to remain active. If they disobey this instruction and turn it off, you have a human resources issue, not a technical issue.
Second, there are very few enterprise users that need admin access to their machines. Oh, they ALL think they do, and there will be howling when non-admin status is first imposed, but we have 350 users in a publishing environment with less that 20 setup as admins. Those users are almost all superusers who assist others in a technical role.
We have far fewer software problems like this and with ARD, IT can install/ authorize installation of software remotely should a user need that. It simply does not dramatically impact our users to have non-admin access. On the other hand, we recognize that a FEW users will need more access, and grant that on a case-by-case basis.

Problem with users in portal - login conflict with LDAP.

Hi.
Let me describe our problem:
We've a EP5 portal with LDAP conected to a central LDAP server, users access with the same user and password to all the different systems.
The problem happens to users who have theyr passwords expired. We already set to 0 the password expiration days to avoid future problems but that didn't applied to the already expired ones.
This affected users cannot change the password due to problems with the connection rights to LDAP server.
We're trying to find the place there it's set that the user is in some kind of "password expired" status, directly in a database table if neccesary, to change the status manually, as system does not allow os to set it by user administration in portal.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Problems with parameter button in Crystal Report Server 2008

Dear all,
I have problems with parameter button in Crystal Report Server 2008.
when I created some parameters and groups in Crystal Report 2008, they showed both parameters in 'Parameter button' and group in 'Group button' on the left, so I can choose or type without clicking 'Refresh button' But when I added it to Crystal Report Server 2008 and I click parameter button , it doesn't show any parameter. Only click refresh button to choose them. On the other hand, for 'Group Tree' is ok. When go to Default Setting-> Parameter, all parameters are in 'Unused parameter' First time I think I had problems with my installation, but when I reinstalled it again, it was like before.
Could any one help me with this?
I appreciate looking forward to your reply

Problem with pdf display downloaded from application server

Hi all,
I have a problem with displaying pdf downloaded from application server (saved in BINARY MODE).
I am getting the pdf output of adobe form in FPFORMOUTPUT-PDF as rawstring back to my program and then converting that rawstring into binary form using the function module SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING.
Now, when I export the data to presentation server directly using cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download, the pdf is downloaded properly.
However, when I save the data to application server file by looping at the internal table obtained from SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY and using TRANSFER, and subsequently downloading the file in "unconverted format" from AL11 to my desktop, I am getting a "blank" pdf file (with the same number of pages as the one downloaded using gui_download).
I have tried different encodings during download but in those cases i get corrupted pdf message. only the default option of INTIAL value seems to work.
I am forced to believe that there is a problem in my code which saves the data to app server but I cant find any solution that is logical. Any solution to this would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Sasi

SB Xtreme Audio Notebook optical out problem with Home TheaterSystem-HELP!

JSB Xtreme Audio Notebook optical out problem with Home TheaterSystem-HELP!, I have this sound card connected?(optical OUT) ?to my home?theater system's digital IN ?through the recommended /8in. optical miniplug-to-optical SPDIF cable. Theater system is set correctly to Digital-In mode. I have no sound!
The cable is a Velocity Toslink-to-Optical Mini Plug digital cable. I don't see any settings in the Creative Console Launcher. The notebook is a Dell XPS M730 (Vista 32).
I have a PS3, DirecTV, and the SB Xtreme Audio Notebook cable on a hub switch that connects to the system's?one Optical IN. The PS3 and DirecTV sound perfect!
The sound card works fine with standard PC speakers. I'm at a loss as?to what to try next. I set this whole system up myself, so I'm pretty good at working out the kinks, except this one!
Karen

OK. I just went to Control Panel - Sound - Playback - Digital Output Device (SB Xtreme Audio Notebook) - Properties - Advanced. I experimented with different sample rates and bit depths. Clicked the test button and lo and behold - sound from the HTS! I've tried iTunes, PowerDVD (configured to digital output) and YouTube - no sound! Am I missing something really obvious?
HA! Just backed out to Playback and selected Digital Output Device (SPDIF) and set as Default. Sound is emunating from HTS! Well, that mystery is solved! Who knew.
Thanks anyway! Any comments or advice will still be appreciated.

Problem with ALV search help Dictionary Search Help

Hello experts
I have a problem with ALV search help.
I use DDIC table ZXXX with text table ZXXX_T. I created DDIC search help form table ZXXX. In my WD application, in context on COMPONENTCONTROLLER i set on attribute: 'Input help mode' as 'Dictionary Search Help' and in 'Dictionary Search Help' I pass name of new created DDIC search help.
I create a input field from that atrribute and search help works fine (there was a value and description for value from text table). So I created ALV witch contains that attribute too.
Next I set column for this attribute in ALV as editable but on Serch help for this collumn I have only value. I DON'T HAVE TEXT DESCRIPTION FOR VALUE.
Please help me and tell me what I do wrong?
Miko

Hello,
Thank's for your help. I create DDic Search help for all fields from my ALV. Next I changed 'TYPE' for all ALV fields in COMPONENTCONTROLLER from ZXXX-Zfield to Zfield, and I changed 'Input help mode' from 'Automatic' to 'Dictionary Search Help'. Now I see Value and Description for value in Search Help in my ALV.

Miko

Yes. Talk to whoever replaced the battery. Sounds like they broke something.

Problem with user mapping

Hello,
We got a problem with user-mapping to a SAP system.
We create a SAp system, and an alias to this system.
We add a user mapping for the administrator (user, not group). Check for connector is OK.
Now, we make the same user-mapping for a group.
if the user also belongs to the group "administrator" this mapping works, otherwise this fail with a message <b>"com.sapportals.portal.ivs.cg.SystemNotFoundException: Got null system object for alias R3HR".
</b>After checking, there is no user-mapping for the "administrator" group, nor for the roles that belong to that group, nor for the user.
So, it seem that the alias is only visible for an admin.
does any one got an idea ? we are on SP14, Linux.
regards
Guillaume PATRY

HI Guillaume,
The user mapping is available for both Admin as well as end users.
Open your system from System Administration>System Configuration>System Landscape.
In the property editor,in dropdown for property category,
select the logon method as UID?password and User Mapping type to admin/user.
Then you can create a Group,map the system alias for this group and add users to this group.
Also,in the property editor for the system,from dropdown for display,select permissions , and add the group to asssigned permissions as READ ONLY and select the checkbox for ENDUSER.
Hope,this resolves your problem.
Regards,
Siddhartha
