Making user account logins case sensitive?

Hi, just a quick question. Is it possible to make a user account login name case sensitive? Currently I can log on using upper or lower case for the login name however I would rather only the exact login name could be used.
Thanks

I had already answered with example.

You can make only user account login case sensitive but not password.

How to disable a user account and issue CoA via REST? (ACS 5.4)

Like the subject line says, I need to disable user accounts via REST, as well as issue CoA doing the same. Is this even possible? I've been trying for a few days now and I can do GET queries on user accounts, but I can't get anything to work using PUT.

According to this document it should be possible to use the PUT method.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5.4/sdk/rest.html
Could you please tell us how are you using the PUT method? I could try to replicate it in my lab.
Best regards

ITunes 11.1 - two user accounts - permission issues for content

I downloaded iTunes 11.1 on my new iMac last night when it was released.
I have two user accounts set up. 1 for my wife, and the other for me. We have a shared iTunes account that has all of our music that we purchased from apple. I did the same set up for the iPhoto library. The way I implemented it allows both my wife and I read/write access to our content.
The issue:
When I downloaded iTunes 11.1 I could not longer launch iTunes and it generated an error on Start up. The folder "iTunes" is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions of this folder. The user priveleges were fine. No changes needed to be made there. After spending countless hours trying to figure it out, I went into my TimeMachine and restored to a backup from earlier in that day. I am now running iTunes 11.0.5 and I won't make the mistake again of upgrading to 11.1 until this is resolved.
Be advised if you have multiple users all pointed to a shared directory that this issue may impact you as well.
Resolution:
If you want iOS7, then download it from your device itself. From your iPhone, iPad, etc etc, Go into Settings>General>Software Updates and download iOS7 from there. iTunes radio won't be available on my iMac, but so what, at least I can access my content now.

Just ignore it.
In most of those, it says "should be drwxr-xr-x ; they are -rwxr-xr-x" - the important part, the actual "permissions" is everything except the initial "d" - and the only difference I see is the initial "d" is missing in the "they are" part.
The "d" stands for "directory" which on a Mac we usually call a folder. For some reason, there's some confusion about whether these should be folders or not - but the actual permissionss (read, write, or eXecute - the 'r" "w" and "x"s) are all correct.
My guess is that Apple changed the way they create ".nib" files, and Disk Utility hasn't been updated yet to recognize the change. So the problem is in Disk Utility, not in iTunes.

On the iMac user account login screen, what does the checkmark mean?

On my iMac, I have 3 user accounts. Sometimes I have noticed that next to 1 of the 3 account names that I will sometimes see a small white check mark in a red circle. What does this mean?

I just received the same login for the first time in a while. I had left my MacBook Pro asleep for several days and then turned it back on and the wakeup/login screen presented a similar red circle with a white check mark inside. Did you find an answer? I created a new post today to see if anyone has had anything similar, not sure if it's firevault or not confirming id...

Setting Up a New User Account - iTunes issue

My wife and I were both using our Mac as a single user, but logging into iTunes under separate iTunes accounts to download our own music and apps.
This week I set up a new User Account in her name, and transferred all music and apps to her User Account so she would be able to access and sync on her own account, just by fast switching, rather than logging into iTunes each visit.
When she plugs her phone into the iMac to sync via iTunes, she gets the following message:
*iTunes could not sync information to the iPhone " " because another sync client is already running*.
Anyone had this problem and found a solution ?

I recently had this same error message problem with my 3GS. Here's everything I did, one of the steps solved the problem...
1. Restarted with the phone unattached.
2. Repaired permissions using Disk Utility.
3. Restarted the phone. Here's where I had some difficulty: After swiping to confirm the shutdown, the screen went black, and I had the spinning icon that wouldn't go away. I ended up having to hold the lock and home buttons down to force shutdown the phone. I powered it back up, and it took forever to start, but it eventually did. I then power-cycled it one more time, and everything was back to normal.
4. Started up iTunes. Go into the preferences, and under the "Devices" tab, I found my previous backup. I deleted it.
5. Plugged in the phone, and everything was normal. iTunes made a new backup, so the sync took awhile, but it was successful.
Good luck!

Trouble with CS2 on Mac G5 with new user accounts - activation issues?

My system is a Mac G5 Quad running OS 10.5.8, and I have the CS2 premium suite. When I bought the machine I did everything under one user account. Several months ago the account started giving me a few problems, and my circumstances changed, so it made sense to create new, separate user accounts on my Mac for work and personal use.
Recently I offered to help a friend out with some design work and tried to start InDesign CS2 from my new business account. I was immediately presented with a demand for a serial number. I looked it up and entered it. An error popped up that said
"Invalid Serial Number
The serial number you provided is not valid.
Please check your serial number and re-enter it."
I tried a couple more times, making sure I had it right. No success.
I gave up and launched my original user account, launched InDesign and started the project. I set the document up and tried to save it. InDesign displayed an error stating "Cannot save "Untitled-1" under a new name. The file "DBTmp[bunch of numbers]" is damaged (error code:0" Each time I relaunched and tried again the temp filename was different.
So now I suddenly am without one of my primary tools and have no idea how to get it back. I am guessing this is a problem with the activation mechanism, but can't find many resources on this topic. It would appear that my attempt to launch InDesign from my new account triggered a piracy protection code or something.
I am typing this while waiting on hold for Adobe support. 25 minutes and counting...
Thanks.
Paul

Bob, Thank you so much!
I already have Acrobat 8.2.4, so I didn't start installing 8.2.2. However, I started working through solution 2 and discovered my new business user account was denied access to /Library/ApplicationSupport/Adobe/TypeSpt/Unicode/Mappings/. I changed the permissions on that directory to give my account read access, and InDesign fired up like normal. I didn't even need to replace the files.
Thanks again for the assistance.
It's interesting to learn CS2 is not supported in my OS version. It works fine (until this).

User Account Login: Goes back to login Window

I have 4 accounts set up on an iMac (10.6). One of the accounts has suddenly stopped working. After typing in the password at the login screen, it looks as if the mac is trying to log in, the screen then turns blue, and the login screen is then displayed.
The other accounts all work fine, and I can log in and log out without issue.
Any ideas?

I too have this frustrating problem. My iMac has three accounts - the login on my main one (an admin account) fails as described. I've tried many possible fixes having read about what could well be the same issue elsewhere on this forum, but no luck. I've rebooted many times; I've used a different account to change the malfunctioning account's password; I've checked the hard drive has plenty of space (it has more than 40% free); I've verified the hard drive (all fine); I've verified and repaired the disk permissions (a few were wrong); I've checked there are not too many files on the desktop; I have changed the UUID (in advanced options of Accounts) for the misbehaving account; and I have tried deleting a number of possible culprits from the Library/Preferences folder including com.apple.finder.plist, com.apple.sidebarlists.plist, com.apple.DiskUtility.plist and com.apple.loginitems.plist.
The problem appeared in stages. At first I could log in but Finder was displayed varying signs of corruptions: sidebar icons absent, the grey bar across the top of the screen not appearing, icons missing from the dock, programs in the dock not starting... A couple of times I managed to log in and found things working fine. But now I can't get in at all - I just see that blue screen for a moment and then get sent back to the login screen.
I wonder whether the some application that's run on start-up is to blame. I looked though com.apple.loginitems.plist for a possible culprit. I saw that it starts iTunesHelper, Kodak Easy Share Wireless Listener, Xmarks for Safari, GrowlHelperApp, and Dropbox. Finding Kodak Easy Share Wireless Listener was a surprise to me - I've uninstalled that. I wonder whether iTunes might be the culprit, as I think I upgraded to a new version of iTunes (9.1.1) shortly before the problems started. But it's hard to tell - I upgraded a number of programs (probably including the OS from 10.6.2) around when these problems began. I would like to try preventing other programs from starting up on log-in, but I don't know how to do that - I don't know how to edit com.apple.loginitems.plist by hand and can't see how to change it through the Accounts page accessed through another user... and anyway just deleting it didn't work. I'm reluctant to uninstall the other applications.
At this point I'm out of ideas and would be grateful for suggestions.

Transfer User Accounts - iTunes issues

Hello Folks....
I have transfered my user information from an iMac to my new MacBook and everything copied perfectly okay. When i come to use iTunes after the transfer, i get a message saying "The file "iTunes Library" can not be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes"
iTunes wont open and wont reconize my iPhone.
What i am trying to achive is to simply copy all my tunes from my iMac to the MacBook like everything else transfered.
I have MobileMe if thats of any help to my issue...
Will be more than happy to clarify anything - thanks in advance!
p.s... can anyone post a link to any forums with iSight problems - the light keeps coming on when i switch on the MacBook - ive only had it for a week.
Cheers!

To do this properly, create a new account from the Accounts pane of System Preferences and log in with that account. Connect the machine which stores the data for that account, and then copy that account's home folder to the /Users/ folder on your hard disk. Rename the existing home folder to something else, and then rename the home folder you just moved to the short name of the newly-created account if necessary. Log out and back in to complete the account migration process. It is possible to do this without logging in from the account you're going to transfer, but it is more complicated.

Google account login issues

I am recieving the error unknown error when trying to add my google account to the touchpad. I can login fine through the browser but am unable to add it to email, chat, etc...
Troubleshooting I've done:
1) Waited a couple days and tried again, same issue.
2) Tried with a secondary google account i have, this one logged in fine.
3) Changed secondary account to have same password as the primary one that is receiving the error. Unknown Error received.
4) Changed secondary account to use various combinations of special characters from the primary account. Received error a couple times. It would appear that using a ~ in combination with ( or even ) whether there are characters in between the two, causes the account to give an unknown error. I didn't try every key combination with the tilde, but at the least the 2 above do not work.

Gmail account issues are discussed in this very recent thread. You will have to install a patch written by a homebrew developer to get Gmail accounts to sync properly.
AOL account sync has also been discussed here, have you tried the Search function? My AIM messaging account works fine, but I don't use AOL anything else.

HP account login issues - just like everyone else - rant alert

Rant Are there any plans for HP to consolidate their various systems to allow you to use the same acct login (email/password) across the different platforms (cloud, eprint, etc)? Being able to recover the account information (passwords, login id, etc) on one system and yet still not be able to use this same email on another system is idiotic. Either consolidate them into one or separate them completely. The current situation is a major headache for the consumer. /Rant
I'm trying to setup eprint. My password is apparently incorrect for the email being used, but the system will not send a reset link to that address because the address is in use by another HP system. ??? My notes indicate I have a cloud acct associated to this email address. The password I have on file does not work there. Attempts to reset the password through the cloud system have been unsuccessful. The system responds that a password reset link will be sent if the email address is on file, but no links have been sent so far. I was able to reset the password on this forum for this same email address, but alas this password is not fanned out to the other systems so I'm still stuck.
This question was solved.

The issue you're experiencing is most likely due to an old Snapfish account registered under your email address. ePrintCenter and Snapfish account information is stored in the same place and I've seen this conflict before. You will need to go to http://www.snapfish.com/snapfish/welcome, click the "Sign In" in the top right hand corner of the page and then click the "forgot password" link and enter the email address that is causing your problems, you should receive an email from Snapfish that will let you create a new password there. Once you've created a new password for Snapfish, try to Sign In on ePrintCenter (http://www.eprintcenter.com/) using your email address and the new password you created for Snapfish.
If I have SOLVED your issue, please feel free to provide KUDOS and make sure you mark this thread as SOLUTION PROVIDED!

User Account Login Offsite

Hi,
I'm new to managing servers. I am looking at setting up an imac with mac os x server (snow leopard).
If i was to configure multiple computers (laptops & desktops) to login with network accounts. What is the protocol for laptops when offsite? if they have an internet conenction when offsite can they login to their network accounts? If not can you configure a sync of their local & network home directories?
Thanks in advance

Yes, this is entirely possible - it's called Mobile home directories. Users log in with a cached copy of their account credentials, and whenever their client is in reach of the server they automatically update and sync home directory data.
It's covered at length in chapter 8 of the Mac OS X Server User Management manual.
