How can I access the user name and group name from an external app..? Where is that stored..?
Thanks

Each BOE document has a unique ID. Knowing that will allow you to access it via a URL while passing required login credentials as well, if I recall correctly. However, your very best bet is to review the SDK.

G'day. I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space. How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

G'day. I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space. How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

The slightly bigger question is whether you want to move all movie content to the external drive (essentially meaning that drive will always need to be attached when you're working with your videos), or whether you just want to archive older videos off to the external drive.
If you want to move all videos, then just move the 'Movies' folder in your home directory to the external drive, then create an alias of the external 'Movies' back in to your home directory. Now the 'Movies' icon in your home directory will point to the external drive and everything will just work (as long as the external drive is attached when you launch iMovie)
If you want to archive older movies then each Movie should have its own subdirectory within your Movies folder. These can easily be moved off to the external drive, and moved back should you ever need to work on those movies again.

User and group names truncated with ls

Hello,
When using the 'ls -l' command the resulting list truncates user and group names that are longer than 8 characters.
Is this a know issue?
I'm running Mac OS 10.4.10.
Thanks,
Anthony

If a program like "ls" wants to know the username corresponding to the uid, it must call a library function of the operating system. But there are two library functions, one gives the correct username and the other truncates the username.
The basic library function is getpwuid(3) which returns the correct username.
Hello Jun,
I ran a search using Xfind (Rixstep) on /bin for 'userfromuid' and /bin/ls was listed as I might of expected.
Also, /bin/ls was also listed when 'getpwuid' was used as a search Key.
Peeking further into /bin/ls further with Xstrings (which is Rickstep's "adaptation" of the "strings' tool" ) reveals the string '_ getpwuid'.
Does this mean that at some point the 'ls' command can call the getpwuid() directly under some circumstances rather than going through userfromuid() which relies on the cache you mentioned?
The problem is the size of the table; userfromuid() allocates only 8
characters for each username (the number 8 comes from UT_NAMESIZE in /
usr/include/utmp.h), and truncates the username if it is longer. This
may be "fixed" in a future version; or it may not be "fixed" to keep
backward compatibility. I'm not sure.
I've heard that utmpx.h has 'UTXUSERSIZE' which is defined as 32. Does not that allow for user and group names larger than 8 characters?
By the way, I can't find the directory usr/include/utmp.h on my drive.
Is there a way to reset or redefine this 'UT_NAMESIZE' field to more than 8 characters wherever the userfromuid() function stores it?
The commands "users", "who", and "w" read the file /var/run/utmp, in
which truncatd usernames of the currently logged-in users are saved.
Does some command initially call the function as 'ls', userfromuid(), to result in truncated names being saved in file /var/run/utmp as well?
I think there are many programs which depend on this fixed-width utmp
file, so it may not be "fixed" in a future version. "
I believe there are third party tools which rely on the userfromuid() call which require this bug to be fixed in order to display accurate user and group name data.
Thanks for your informative reply,
Anthony

How can we retrieve the Group name from oid?

Hi:
In following request object, we can get all the user related information from oid except group name where a particular user belongs to.
For instance user id, first name, last name and email etc but we could not get the group name.
PortletRenderRequest pReq = (PortletRenderRequest)
request.getAttribute(HttpCommonConstants.PORTLET_RENDER_REQUEST);
pReq.getUser()……
Please advice, how I we get the hold of group name from orcldefaultprofilegroup (oid)?
I would really appreciate your reply.
Thank you.
- Ali Raza.

I am not sure about the PDK API to get the group name. But using LDAP API its easy to get the User Group.
If you find the answer to get the group name using PDK API, Please update in forum. It will really help others.

Can we reconcile secondary group name from unix server

Hi,
Can we reconcile secondary group name from unix server using some own Customise code?

Using JNDI this should not be very hard.
Are you planning to store the secondary groups as a child table to a unix RO?
Int hat case It might actually be easier and quicker to sidestep the recon system entirely and interact directly with the child form.
Best regards

HT2518 how do i or can i drag and drop files from one external drive to another ???HOW

how do i drag and drop files from one external drive to another, i cannt get both drives to open up. only one at a time.. i have alot to learn i know but that is where i am at the time...

You posted here so would assume you are also talking about running Windows.
Are the drives NTFS and use on Windows?
Are they Mac HFS formatted?
You likely will need NTFS for OS X in one case. to mount PC and use under Mac OS Lion
MacDrive to mount and WRITE to HFS drives under Windows

Drag the existing iTunes library to the external drive, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, and point it to that instance of the library.

How to get the user and groups information from http header

Hi All,
In my current scneario, we are using Siteminder for SSO setup.. And in this process, after authentication and authorization, they are going to append the user information and group information of the user into a HTTP header and it will be sent back to our presentation services.. We have to extract the user information and group information from the http header.
My HTTP header will look like as follows..
SM_USER XYZ
SM_USERDN CN=Firstname\, Lastname\, xyz, OU=GPO-Low Level Security,OU=Domain Users,OU=BU FDT,
SM_USERGROUPS CN=GG-CA-SiteminderAdmins, OU=Global,OU=Domain Groups, DC=com^CN=GG-ServiceDeskAdmin-TCCORPCEFS
And also if anyone explain me the overall working of SSO in detail like how presentation services will make a connection to BI server( I guess using Impersonator User), and also how our BI server will read the URL from presentation services and the over all working flow in our OBIEE..
Thanks a lot....

Please use the search! this topic has come up lots of times already.

How to retrieve username and domain name on Macintosh.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to retrieve username and domain name on Macintosh
Thanks
Priyanka.

There is no system property for the domain name.
Can you please tell me some other way for solving
this problem.No. If it's not an environment variable (System.getEnv IIRC) and no property, you can't get it without native calls using JNI or Runtime.exec/Process.

Can i download and run itunes from an external hard drive

can i download and run itunes from an external hard drive?

The iTunes application should be on the boot drive but you can keep the iTunes library on an external.
hold Shift when launching iTune sand select Create library and select the external.
This will create an iTunes folder on the external with all the library files and all media will also go into this folder.

Use imp utility, it generates DDL for both tables and indexes. So you will get tablespace info for both.
Use impdp utility, it generates DDL for indexes only. So you will miss tablesapce info for tables.
Haven't found a workaround for impdp utility. Anyone knows?Are you sure you are using the impdp utility correctly? Because if you do, then sqlfile should have all gory details.
