Accessing users home dir from W7 using net use

Hi!
Probably I'm doing something wrong. OES11SP1 on SLES11SP2. User home dir accessible using net use from Windows XP, but not from Windows 7. Already tried to change LmCompatibilityLevel in registry (to 1), but didn't help. I recall, some year ago I had same problem from W7 (64bit) and then I installed Novell Client, now I'm trying to wo the client, should be possible?
More thanks, Alar.

If you can or can't access a share on OES11 without the Novell CLient
depends on if you have configured and enabled CIFS on the server.
Note that "Net Use" is an universal command, and uses the Novell CLient
too *if* it is installed. Many People believe "Net Use" would somehow be
Microsoft Network specific, but it isn't. It uses whatever network
client is isnstalled and able to access the resource.

ASA WebVPN - Accessing Users Home Dir's

I have an ASA 5540 and an ACS 4.0. I am configuring an SSL based WebVPN for users in an active directory. I want to give the users access to their Windows Home Dir and have created a CIFS link in the URL list in the tunnel group policy for those users.
I want to give the users access to \\SERVER\Share\%username% as it is described in windows terms. How do I go about this in the ASA, as the above does not work at all? The ASA wants to use the / instead of \ in the CIFS shares. It works fine for normal shares and hidden share specified with $, but not using the %username% variable.
The documentation on SSL VPNS on both ASA and ACS 4.0 is terrible.
Best regards,
Neal Lewis

On ASA 8.x code:
CSCO_WEBVPN_USERNAME - WebVPN user login ID
CSCO_WEBVPN_PASSWORD - WebVPN user login password
CSCO_WEBVPN_INTERNAL_PASSWORD -WebVPN user Internal( or Domain) Password
CSCO_WEBVPN_CONNECTION_PROFILE - WebVPN user login group drop-down (tunnel-group alias)
CSCO_WEBVPN_MACRO1 - set via Radius-LDAP Vendor Specific Attribute (VSA)
CSCO_WEBVPN_MACRO2 - set via Radius-LDAP Vendor Specific Attribute (VSA)

Deleting pre-defined apple folders in a Users home dir

Hello,
i would like to know if its possible to delete the following folders in my Users-home dir:
* Downloads
* Music
* Movies
* Pictures
As far as i see 10.5 throws an error if you try to delete them via finder. Havent tried to delete them via terminal as i would like to know if it would cause problems.
Basically i guess those folders are "secured" as Apple applications like Safari, itunes, iMovie etc use them.
Well i dont use those applications at all and it would be great to free my home-folder a bit just to have a better overview.
any help is appreciated
fidel

Hello fidel,
You can remove those directories but I would do so cautiously. Some applications may expect to "see" them in your home folder. Each directory has an ACE (access control entry) which will prevent you from deleting the folder in the Finder. To delete them you must do so as the root user in the Terminal app by preferencing the rm command with sudo.

User home dir restriction...

Dear Sir /Madam,
I want to restrict a user on unix within his home dir .He can go down to his home dir and work but should have access up to his home dir..or any other file system dir...
Regds,
Sharad

Hi
Change the permissions on the directory above the users home directory ( from the users directory this would be referred to as "." ) so that "others" field is not readable. It would look something like this:
/export/home/a_user rwxrwx---
You may need to check which group the user has been assigned to and change the group permissions as well.

Access my home imac from work ?

Any ideas how I can access my home Apple from a work computer ? Is this possible ?
I don't want to use .mac!
how would I do this ? What would I need ?

yeah its possible, goto system preferences, goto sharing, start FTP access, then it'll give you an address to it at the bottom beginning with ftp:// , write this down and when you're in work, go into internet explorer (assuming you're using a windows computer in work) then paste the address into internet explorer and when it asks for a password simply input your username and password and there you go you have access to your files from work.
if you're using an apple machine to access your mac from home then click GO and goto connect to server and paste the address in there and enter username and password.

Apache2 & User Home dirs....

OK, the setup. Multiple servers in one tree, broken down by containers.
ABCD is the tree. Picture three containers below this: 123, 456, 789.
Following info in TID 10090225, I've been able to setup the webserver
(WWW) in 123 properly. WWW is serviced from its own server, while the LDAP
search context is set to ABCD. Now, heres the odd part-- using the syntax
http://www.abc.com, get web pages. Using http://www.abc.com/~mkovacs, get
what is in my public_html directory as expected. My home dir is in a 6.5
server located in 456. Now, follow exactly the same steps for users in 789
and we get a 404.. The log shows:
[DATE] [error][client 10.1.1.1] could not create path context. error: 115
(obsfucated for safety)
Now, I try this on any account who's home dir is in the server in CX=456,
all is fine. I am very confused at this point; its like it doesn't want to
access anything outside the one servers home directory structure... Did I
miss a step somewhere??

I run it OK using the cn attribute.
It seems to me to be two issues:
If Apache is set up to use a particular user for browsing the
LDAP (eDir) directory it must have the rights to the home directory and
some other attributes in the LDAP directory
The server hosting Apache needs read rights to the home
directories of the remote servers.
It has been a long time since I set these up, once I did it by editing
httpd.conf, and later using the graphical web manager from https - port
2200 - open source - manage single apache.
You could look at the doco for mod_edir on forge.novell.com

Are there any APIs to access user personalization data from java

Hi gurus,
We want to access personalization data for a user from java using API. This includes user mapping also.
If you are aware of any api please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Pratik Thakkar

Hi Pratik,
You can also retrieve a system object and get the user mapping for the system:
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,IPcdContext.PCD_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, request.getUser());
env.put(Constants.REQUESTED_ASPECT, PcmConstants.ASPECT_SEMANTICS);
iCtx = new InitialContext(env);
ISystem pcdSys =(ISystem)iCtx.lookup(sysId);
ISystemUserMappingData um = pcdSys.getUserMappingData(request.getUser());
From this object you can get the user, password and other properties.
As for personalized values of iView attributes, you can an environmental value before create the initial context to indicate to return personalized value, as follows:
env.put(IPcdContext.PCD_PERSONALIZATION_PRINCIPAL, request.getUser());
Hope this helps.

Accessing my home mac from work

Help me please.
I have my file sharing turned on on my mac mini and the external hard drive attached to it. I am able to see the files and open them without any issues from my laptop. BUT it won't let me save the files. It won't even let me save it on my laptop. Plus, the mac mini has to be awake in order for me to do the remote log in.
Basically what I'm trying to accomplish is being at the office and able to access my home office mac files. Don't want files on both computers and all over the place beacuse that has messed me up in the past. LONG story. LOL
Any thoughts? I'm new to this remote login/back to my mac stuff, but don't really want to have the business expense of paying for such service. UNLESS I have to.

The poster said " have the business expense of paying for such service"".
However, TeamViewer is only free for personel use and the above statement indicates he want to use it for business use.

As Admin I can't access users home folder - (usershare)

How can I access user's home folders
Setting up a new server and copied users home from SBS 2003 but having setup all the users I cannot access the users home folders as Admin at the Server console.
Obviously I can login to a users PC and upload the files from the but...
This is something I need to do frequently for users.
*** Edit ***
If I enable the disabled "Administrator" account - I am then able to access the folders!
(I would like to keep Administrator account disabled)
I added Admin to the Administrators group but that didn't work either!
I suppose I I work around by enabling administrator account but would much rather allow Admin to have same rights.
ChrisS

Hi
There is a GPO that controls the Redirected Folders.... the default in SBS is to restrict users redirected folders exclusively. That means 'Administrators' can not access the files, only the specified users who own it.
Ironically i also find this restricts viewing the files on these folders in the proper backup
To fix this you need to do a number of steps.
1. First of all remove the tick from the GPO for Exclusive access to redirected folders. When this is done any new users you add, the administrators (security group) will be able to access the folders and files.
However this will not fix the ones made when the PO exclusivity was enabled. To fix this there are methods on this forum about PowerShell access, and guides, all very complicated... but neded if you can;t access your users accounts. Like you I created 3
users before noticing this GPO issue.
I found a way around it.
User 1 is restricted.
1. So go to a client computer and log on as User 1
2. navigate to \\server\redirected folders\User 1
3. Select the Documents folder and right click, properties, security
4. Add the Administrators (note the s, administrators, not administrator) and give Full Control
5. Do the same to the Desktop Folder
You need to do this for each User that is restricted, as each User that is restricted. Each User owns their Desktop and Documents folder and can therefore apply whatever security they like to it.
The difference the GPO exclusive makes is whether or not Adminsitrators are added to the security for those folders, you are just manully setting this up
You do not need to take ownership, do not need to run powershell. Admitedly if your users are remote users, and you are never at the clients with the server, then I agree maybe the Ownership and Powershell route is the way to go, but odds are you will visit
the client and be able to do this on site s the user is logged in. This is the quickest and Easiest way

Setting up new user home dir -- what is *supposed* to happen"

Folks:
Could someone tell me what Workgroup Mgr is supposed to do when you tell it to set up new home dir?
Right now it creates the dir, but sets the perms to drwxr-xr-x, owner root, and it's empty.
This means the new user can't do anything with the dir, and I'm fairly certain Wkg Mgr is supposed to have put some files in there?
Any clues appreciated,
Graham

I've been having some trouble with creating home directories on my server, and others are no doubt more expert in this field than I am, but what should be created are the Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, Public, and Sites directories that you expect to see. If you create those (or whatever subset you want) and set the ownership of the directory to the correct user, Library and Desktop will be automatically created when they log in.
In my case, for a while now "Create Home Now" hasn't been working and the home directory is not automatically created when the user logs in. If I set it up manually everything works out, but I'd like to know why this is happening. I can't figure out what's wrong with the share point if that's the problem.

Can not remove users home folders from TM exclude list.

Hi
MBP mid 2012 10.9.3.
Been away from my TM for some time. So adjusted exclusions I have in place for regular backups. For some reason I can not remove the users home folder exclusion. I have reset TM by removing the plist. Everything reset apart from the exclusions. Any Ideas?
Cheers.
PJRS

Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a file named "com.apple.TimeMachine.plist" selected. Move the file to the Trash.
Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
A folder named "ByHost" should open. Inside that folder, there may be a file with a long name beginning "com.apple.TimeMachine." If the file exists, move it to the Trash.
Restart the computer and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Accessing an iPhone backup from OSX using Bootcamp with XP

Hi guys,
Something has gone horribly wrong with the OSX partition on my Macbook Pro. It seems like something has become corrupted, and I can no longer reboot into OSX. I can however continue to use my XP partition and can access all my files from there. I'm planning on eventually backing up all the data, and just doing a complete reinstall but I'm heading off to the states from the UK in 10 days and need to restore my iphone to a backup I had on the mac partition - it contains all my US contacts and data. Is there any way I can access the backup via bootcamp?
Thanks,
James.

sure navigate to the path and copy out the files

Where does user.home comes from on Solaris 8?

I have a bizzarre situation where my app needs to write a .log file to
user.home, but the somehow user.home is not what is defined by $HOME or in the
yppasswd file. Where could it be getting the value it thinks is user.home?
Has anyone seen anything like this before?
Thanx
gaby

Don't know, but you could try running the app with the flag -Duser.home=$HOME

Impersonate user when accessing Microsoft SQL Server from powershell using Windows Authentication

Hi All,
Below is the powershell script to connect a SQL DB using windows authentication by impersonating a user. The user should have login access to the server. Script can be highly useful when service id is used to access DB using powershell.
[reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo") | Out-Null
$ds=$null
$conn = New-Object -typeName Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server -argumentList "Servername"
$db = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Database
$conn.ConnectionContext.ConnectAsUser = $true
$conn.ConnectionContext.LoginSecure=$true
$conn.ConnectionContext.ConnectAsUserName = "username"
$conn.ConnectionContext.ConnectAsUserPassword ="password
$conn.Loginmode
$db = $conn.Databases.Item("dbname")
$ds = $db.ExecuteWithResults("select top 10 Name from Tablename")
Foreach ($t in $ds.Tables)
Foreach ($r in $t.Rows)
Foreach ($c in $t.Columns)
Write-Host $c.ColumnName "=" $r.Item($c)

That is OK when you want to manage the instance biut it wojn't work if the tools are not installed.
This works from anywhere all of the time and is simpler:
$datasource='MyServerInstance'
$database='NorthWind'
$connStr='Data Source={0}; Database={1}; Trusted_Connection=True;' -f '$datasource,$database
$conn=New-Object System.Data.SQlClient.SQlConnection($connStr)
$conn.Open()
$cmd=$conn.CreateCommand()
$cmd.CommandText='select * from products'
$rdr=$cmd.ExecuteReader()
0..($rdr.FieldCount-1) | %{$rdr.GetName($_)}
$conn.Close()
If you want credentials just add them.
$connStr='Data Source={0}; Database={1}; Trusted_Connection=True;UID={2};PWD={3};' -f $datasource,$database,uid,$pwd
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How can I move the user home folder from server to the mac

I have a mac mini which i use for OpenDirectory, DNS and email. It is not a big installation it is for my wife and I.
My wife logs in using an network account, and the user folder is saved on the mac mini. This gives me a few problems.
a. If the server is upated and restarted, my wife has to relogin, or sometimes reboot the imac to get acces to the email etc.
b. Having the home folder on a mac mini is causing the imac to be very slow
c. Itunes can't synchronize to her Iphone. Connecint it gives her a message that synchronization has been turned off, and if i try to turn it on I get an error message saying somthing about shared access to the user folder.
I do not use a network account and have none of these problems.
So I have decided to try to put her user folder on the imac instead of on the server..
But how do I do that?
I still wan't her to use the network user account, but the user folder should be on her imac.
Kind Regards
Henrik

I do not think you can move migration assistant for this situation.
The mac mini is a osx snow leopard server, running openDirectory, DNS and E-mail, so its not like she is logging into the server.
Her imac is bound to the OpenDirectory and she uses an openDirectory network user account to log in on her imac.
But the user folder is saved on the server, which is very nice if you have a bigger server with faster disks, and more mac clients to log into.
But in this situation she only uses her imac, and the performance of having the user folder on the server is not good enough, as well as the other problems I have with itunes sync etc.
So I do not think it's a job for the migration assistant.
