Account lock & further deletion

Hi guys, i need to know the effects/impacts of deleting user account from SAP for the terminated employees.
Is it to the management to decide for the removal of accounts? Or what is the std. rule for locking & deleting an user account from the system?
Pls advise.
rgds,

Hi,
when you delete a user you would lose some part of the trail of his actions which might be an issue as per the compliance issues.
So these ID's are locked and validity changed to the date of exit of that particular user so that we still have the user and can avoid him to login.
So once we are pretty sure that the deletion of the ID's would not have any negative ramifications there are deleled.
So its the top management's call as to how they want to address this particular issue and varies as per the firms policy.
Normally a better approach would be to lock the ID's and end the validity date.

J_security_check, JAAS, password expiration, account locking and portals

J2EE form-based authentication will redirect an unauthenticated user trying to connect to a secured resource to a login page and will 1) send the user to the originally requested page upon successful authentication OR 2) send the user to the error page in the event of authentication failure. There are a couple of problems that I have with this implementation - not with j_security_check specifically, but with the pattern generally.
There are several events that a Portal must manage beyond simple authentication validation. Specifically
- Notify a user after successful authentication that their account has been locked and they must contact someone to get it unlocked.
- Notify a user after successful authentication that their password is about to expire and offer them a choice between changing their password immediately or proceeding to the requested resource.
- Notify a user after successful authentication that their password has expired and require that they change it before proceeding to the requested resource.
- Notify a user after successful authentication that they don't have rights to access to the requested resource even though they've been successfully authenticated and offer to redirect them to a page that they are authorized to access.
I am currently investigating a scheme to solve these problems by using servlets for the login and error 'pages', having these servlets forward to different .JSP's based on roles, and writing some sort of JAAS module to add an access (authorization) role based on the password and account lock status.
Has anyone else worked on this kind of problem? Are there any efforts to extend the J2EE specifications to handle these alternate flows in the j_security_check activity.
I'm frustrated with each of the different container providers handling the JAAS Authorization differently. Further, since the j_security_check doesn't discuss how the server tracks the original request, each container provider has used a custom mechanism for keeping the original URI as j_security_check activity proceeds.
One final gripe, since the J2EE specification does not specify how to deal with JAAS, and further define a mechanism to getting the Subject associated with the current ServletRequest, all providers have done this differently too. Perhaps this was avoided as a 'non-goal', but wouldn't it have been nice to state that 'should a provider decide to offer JAAS based security, the implementation must...'?

I understand this problem... I dont know whether I have term this as a "Feature" or a "Drawback".
I have handled this problem differently in my project.
Scenario: When user does normal login
1. User is displayed a home page. During this process, I create a session variable "Initialized".
2. I check for this session variable in all the pages. If this session variable is missing then I redirect to the home page which in turn creates the "Initialize" variable in the session.
Scenarion: Session time out happens in Page 3
1. User will be taken to login page.
2. Typically scenarion, when user is authenticated successfully, Page 3 is displayed.
3. I check for the session variable "Initialize" in Page 3. This "Initialize" variable will not be available due to session expiry.
4. I redirect my page to "Home Page" which inturn creates session variable "Initialize".
5. This solution solved the problem of showing home page when user does the login

Account locked. I am not receiving an email to change my password. I have tried 4 times.

My Mother, over the weekend, managed to get her account locked after misstyping her email multiple times. This is not the first time this has happened, so she went through the process of trying to change her password, via getting an email sent to her from Apple. If you read the title of the thread, you'd see my problem. Here we are, 4 days later, and we've yet to receive an email from Apple allowing us to change her password.
I've applied for Apple to send us the email so we can reset her password multiple times, not counting how many times she tried over the weekend as she was out. I'd like to know why we're not receiving this email, because we've had to go through this process before, and it's gone without a hitch.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Sorry just finishing my jam sandwich.
I have asked for your email address to be edited out. Post your address in an open thread is a sure way to be bombarded by unwanted email, remember it will be here long after you have resolved your problem, for automated detection software to find.
If you want people to contact you, enable others to see your email address in your profile.
Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account
Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether.

Email account locked

I had to delete my ISP email address from my blackberry 8700g otherwise it was locking up my email acct with my ISP. I could not connect to their server and download messages. No changing of any settings helped and I have had this phone with this acct for two years. Use Outlook 2007.
Any ideas why this happenned all of a sudden.
Ken

Just some of the things I can think of .....
You may want to key in the password you usually enter for your ISP email account on a blank note or email message to confirm that it appears correctly. If the BB device keyboard faulty, what you type could end up as something else, thus could cause account lock due to incorrect password.
You can try to ask the ISP to reset your email password, setup again to check if it happens.
If I've been helpful please consider giving me kudos. Please remember to resolve your thread .

I made a huge mistake, my wife loaded pix under guest and as I closed it to get to my account pix were deleted. Is there any way to recover these pix? Please help!!!

You can try data recovery software, like Stellar Phoenix. That may (or may not) recover some or (probably not) all of them. Any that cannot be recovered have probably been overwritten and are gone for good.
Note that you should not do anything further with the machine until you have the data recovery software, and should not install said software on the machine, since that may overwrite the data you're trying to recover. You'll want to have some other drive you can boot from and use the recovery software from.

Accounts lock after managing users through control panel

I have an account lockout issue that is reproducible and exists across many devices.
These systems are Win 7 Professional 32-bit, not domain members, and fairly locked down via local Group Policy - I suspect the issue is in there, but I can't identify it. There are normally two administrator
accounts (this might be important - see below) and one or more unprivileged user accounts.
To reproduce the issue, I log in to one of the admin accounts, create or delete a standard user through Control Panel>User Accounts, and then log off. Immediately both admin accounts are locked out.
I can log in as the standard user I just created, but have to unlock the admin accounts by booting to DVD. The event log shows the admin account log off, followed immediately by 3 credential validation failures for the other admin account
- that is, the account that was not logged in when the user management was performed. I can't imagine where these cred validation failures are coming from, but per Local Group Policy, 3 failures should indeed lock the account. Logs show
no reason at all (AFAIK) for the first admin account - the one actually doing the user management - to be locked.
If I add or remove users through compmgmt.msc, there are no issues of any kind.
As I said, I can reliably reproduce this issue on multiple machines. Any thoughts?

I've just come across this same issue on a Windows 2008 Server. When entering the User Accounts control panel, a failed logon event is immediately triggered (from dllhost.exe, logon type 2, status code of "bad password") targeting the current user
account. When clicking the "Manage another account" link, a similar failed logon event is triggered for every account that is listed on that screen. If this screen is opened multiple times, it's possible to lock out every account on the system.
It's not clear to me why the User Accounts control panel would be attempting to authenticate as any of these accounts, but in the short term, we'll probably use a GPO to prevent access to this particular control panel. Any administration of local accounts
should be done via MMC consoles anyway.
Not sure if Home Edition desktop operating systems have the same option, or if the same behavior occurs there.

Account marked for deletion

Hi,
i have one account marked for deletion, and this message " Account marked for deletion?" is displayed when i used it.
So please how to cancel that and make this account normal?
i hope you help
regards

Hi,
If you have marked the account for deletion you will get this message. But system will allow you to post. If you want posting to be prevented to this account you should block at company code and chart of account level in addition to marking for deletion. You can find the lock key just next to deletion key in FS00 t code.
You can goto FS00 and uncheck mark for deletion check box.

Account locked out from RD server when no session is open?

Windows 2008R2 DCs, two in one site, one in another
Windows 2008 functional level
I've had two instances in the past week where users, several hours after changing their passwords, had their accounts locked out. I used LockoutStatus to track down the DC where the event 4740/lockout happened, and then read the calling workstation
from there. In both cases, the user didn't have any active or idle session on the remote desktop server where the lock was being generated. I checked further with Process Explorer and I couldn't even find any processes running in their user context.
I would unlock the account, and in under a minute, there would be six bad password attempts (our GP setting) and the account would be locked out. I could repeat this process indefinitely.
In both instances, when I rebooted the RD VM, the issue went away and didn't return. In one case that was somewhat disruptive as it was an application server. In the second case it was a domain controller and had no user impact.
I've seen this before when a user has an orphaned RD session idle for months, or with badly behaved applications, but this seeming dissociation from any active user process is really odd.
LockoutStatus always shows the lastPasswordSet timestamp in sync, replication occurs within fifteen minutes, and repadmin shows me both the expected topology and no errors.
I'm at a total loss. What more can I check for?

Hi,
Do you have any updates?
Other than Remote Desktop sessions, please also check these things below:
Programs, services, schedule tasks, scripts, which could also store user credentials.

Database account locked as it tries to connect different ports for 16 times

I need a help in answering one of the issue encountered last week.
I have created a database link and tried to access the information from a table using the program written in another language. The password provided was incorrect for that user while creating database link. So we expected that,while retrieving the data, Database connection has to be errored out as password provided is incorrrect.
But unfortunately, user account was locked out. When i checked with DBAs they mentioned that it tries to connect 16 ports with in a min of time.we were shocked as it STOPS another scheduled jobs with that user. and affects production badly.
As per the program, it has to connect only one time and yesterday we tried to execute the program in DBAs observation and it errored out as expected. Didn't tried for multiple ports.
Now the question is, WHY the database connection established 16 times last week and caused user account locked. DBAs are unable to answer it. Any EXPERTs opinion on this would greatly appreciated.
I have verified managing ports in oracle documentation, it was mentioned that if one port is busy it will try to connect to another port in the range of ports mentioned during the installtion. DBAs verified ports related file and it was blank. and they are not agreeing with this reason. Please HELP me in finding the correct REASON for this.
is it a NETWORK issue or issue with DATABASE SERVER only?
Thanks

Multiple admin accounts, need to delete one of them ... what happens?

Ok, short story shorter - broke up with my GF and she has an account on my laptop.
She has saved all her stuff, so I'm not worried about loosing personal files/documents.
My question is though, what else may be lost that I should be careful of.
• Will programs be lost?
I installed Adobe Suite through her account, will that be removed as well? That's an application though, that I set for 'all users'.
• Will there be any change to system, or cause errors if that was the main Admin account?
By deleting an Admin that was in use 50% of the time, are there any system problems that may happen after I delete?
From what I remember, the system when I created another Admin account it just treated it as if someone just set up their MBP for the first time - ie. they seem to be completely independant.
Basically, I just want to make sure my experience (in my account) does not change once I've pressed the delete button.
Much thanks in advance.
-NTFW

Thanks andyBall_uk,
I can confirm that there are no files/data/passwords that I'm concerned about loosing on the account I want to delete.
*BUT, on the account I want to delete - I installed Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop.
These programs are usable on my account as well, I see them in my Application folder even though I only installed it once.
Are you saying it will delete Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop because it was installed on that Admin account?
Thanks very much for the help!
