Ad users : where is their template?

Hi all!
Mac 10.4.8 clients and server. All bound to Active Directory. The clients are bound to AD and OD, with local home directories disabled. The accounts have a home folder path to a Win file server in AD, and will mount that path for their Mac OS X home folder.
I was wondering where do AD users logging on to Macs get their template from?
All of the local templates, and the OD server's templates have no effect.

On a Mac the User Template is found here...
/System/Library/User Template
On a Windows computer the User Template is found here...
C:\Documents and Settings\Default User
Both of these are on the local computer, not the server.
On both the Mac and the PC, I create a temp user, set all the settings the way I want them, then on the Mac I copy the preferences folder from the temp user to the path above and on the PC I delete the Default User folder and rename the temp user's folder to Default User and reset the permissions. Then delete the temp user.
Now any new user that logs into a Mac or a PC that are bound to AD and/or OD and authenticates to the server or even if a local account is created, will get all of the presets that you made to the temp user.
I hope this is the answer to the question you are asking.

Users to Save Web Templates or Bookmarks to Their Favorites?

Hi,
We have a number of web templates in many roles. We would like users to be able to save any of these web templates (or bookmarks) to their favorites as they choose to. They work from the web iterface only. Is there a url command or something that can save the current URL to the favorites?
Thanks.

I don't know that you can save a template to a favorites role, but you can personalize a template so when the user returns to that template it is saved as they had drilled it.
<SAP_BW_URL CMD='PERSONALIZE'>
Or you can add to IE favorites
<SAP_BW_URL CMD='BOOKMARK'>
(optional)
'X' = Yes, ' ' = No
Or you can use a drop down box and allow users to add views to the drop down in the web application so essentially when they return they have the default views and additionally have the custom views they created.

User's changing their own password

Is it possible to allow user to change their own password when logged onto a portal applicastion I have written ?

Presumably, the application you say you have written, is a Login Server partner application. So changing the user's password means changing it on the login server.
The URL that you need to go to, to do this, is something like: http://server.domain.com/pls/portal30_sso/portal30_sso.wwsso_app_user_mgr.change_password?p_done_url=xxxxx
Where xxxxx is the URL where you want control to go after the user submits their new password.

Allow DB user to change their password

Greetings,
DAD authenticated access to HTMLDB 2.0 on 10gR1 on hpux.
I have built a "account" page where among other things the users can change their passwords, I have built the page over anonymous PL/SQL (below). When a DAD authenticated user runs the page via HTMLDB, they get
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
Error. Yet if I copy the PL_SQL as is into sqlplus and bind it... it works like a charm. Any ideas?
the PL/SQL
DECLARE
BEGIN
if (:P17_NEW_PASSWORD_1 IS NOT NULL) AND (:P17_NEW_PASSWORD_2 IS NOT NULL) AND (:P17_OLD_PASSWORD IS NOT NULL) THEN
if :P17_NEW_PASSWORD_1 != :P17_NEW_PASSWORD_2 then
raise_application_error(-20300,'New passwords do not match');
end if;
execute immediate 'alter user '||user||' identified by '||:P17_NEW_PASSWORD_1||' replace '||:p17_old_password;
htp.p('Password Changed Successfully');
end if; --passwords not null
exception when others then
htp.p('Error changing password:'||sqlerrm);
null;
end;

The application parsing schema (owner) needs ALTER USER privilege. It probably works in SQL*Plus because that schema has obtained the privilege through a role.

Anybody know where the default templates are stored?

I'd like to access the location where the default templates are stored. I've checked in: "Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Logic" but did not find anything.
I see that user templates are in: "Macintosh HD/Users/PROFILE/Library/Application Support/Logic/Project Templates"
Thanks in advance!

The assigned solution to this problem is false. The answer is that they are stored here:
/Users/[username]/Music/Audio Music Apps/Project Templates
That is not correct.
User Project templates are stored in the location you stated but the Default Project templates, which is what the OP asked about, are stored within the app as Blueberry stated....
Note the path I highlighted......

How to reset All users and delete their table?

Hi,
i want to know How to reset All users and delete their tables with username- system and password-manager.
thanks

Hi
Here delete means truncate or drop?????
If drop use the following statement to generate the script:
select 'drop table ' || Owner || '.' || Table_Name || ';' from Dba_tables
where owner in (<All_the_users_you_want_to_reset>);
But before firing the above statement extract the DDL's to create all the users and put it in a file and just run that file to re-create the users.
if its truncate then:
select 'truncate table ' || Owner || '.' || Table_Name || ';' from Dba_tables
where owner in (<All_the_users_you_want_to_reset>);
Hope this Helps

Force all users to change their Enterprise passwords with a batch operation

Hello,
Do you know if there is a way to force all users to change their Enterprise passwords with a batch operation in the SDK? Is there any implementation done?
Many thanks!
Bea

You can logon to Enterprise as Administrator in your SDK application. Query all users using following query:
select * from ci_systemobjects where si_kind='user'
then loop through the collection InfoObjects returned and cast east object to IUser.
Either call setPasswordToChangeAtNextLogon(true) so that the user logs on next time will be forced to change his\her password. Call commit on InfoObjects collection at the end to save the changes.
Otherwise you can call setNewPassword("new password") to reset password for that user.
Depending upon number of users you can do bath commit. You can use commit(infoObjects,true). The 2nd argument is true for batch commit.

How to prevent users to create their own private list ?

Hello,
Is there a way to prevent users to create their own private list ?
Or to perform their own queries ?
Thanks for your help.

Any list or search will always query the database regardless of volume. For example, a user has access to just 1 account record. This record could be one of 10 million other account records. To allow the user to see this record, the entire account pool will be queried. That's where indexes help and queries are really fast.
Turning off search is not the solution. Ensuring queries are optimized is the solution. For example, manager visibility always slows down the search because the nature of a manager visibility search requires compex search patterns. So you could turn off manager visibility for your company and use alternate means like books. Manager visibility search is a feature that's primarily used by small-to-medium-business (SMBs). Large enterprises should never use it.

Users Opening to Their Dektop

RDS 2012 publishing office to users desktop. Our users are not using thin clients. They have their own desktop PC with their own local profile. What is everyone else doing for when users file->open in an office app and the user is seeing their profile
on the server? It is very confusing to my users when they see their profile on the server and not their local profile. Getting users to browse to "C on their pc name->users->username->documents" is very difficult. Is their a way for users
to see their local profile instead of their profile on the server when they file->open?

Hi,
I assume that these users are within Remote Desktop sessions, and the Remote Desktop user profiles display when they click on Open.
You may try to specify the Remote Desktop Services Profile Path as the local profile path, in which way, both local and remote desktop profiles would be stored in the same place.
More information for you:
<UserAccount> Properties: Remote Desktop Services Profile Tab
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754237.aspx
Best Regards,

Yes, users are within RD sessions and the RD user profile is displayed. That link looks promising but how do you specify a local profile in the RD Services Profile Path? It seems C:\Users\<username> would point to the C Drive on the server

Restricting Multiple Users To Only Their Specific Areas Of A Site

I think I understand the basics of user authentication and
password protection for areas of a site using PHP/MySQL, etc. Maybe
I don't however.
My question is: If I have 10 users how do I restrict each
user to only their specific pages in the site so that they can only
see their specific pages and not every protected page?
See, maybe I don't understand, but any help would be
appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Can you password-protect individual folders, each containing
only a single
user's pages?

Is there a way to prevent an end-user from changing their own password?

All you guru's out there, I need your help. Is there a way to prevent an end-user from changing their own password? Is there a function or procedure I can create or what?

In this case, you do not want someone (whoever they are DBA etc) to connect as that
particuler user to change the password.Yes, but I wouldn't expect the users to[i] know that password. The connnect would be handled automatically, behind the scenes.
The clear implication of the OP's question and response was that users would not be allowed to change their own passwords. I'm guessing this is in response to a policy that says users mustn't have simple passwords like 123abc or mom. In such a scenario a better approach would be to apply regexp to a user's password to ensure it contains a mix of letters, numbers, punctuation, etc to achieve the desired level of complexity.
So questions, should not be regarded as daft Agreed, but the same is unfortunately not always true of business decisions. As the OP has told us not to ask we cannot know why they want to do this. Personally, I think a user's individual password should always be their responsibility; anything else strikes me as insecure. YMMV.
Cheers, APC

ISE 1.2 Guest portal user cannot change their passwords

I have a WLC 5508(version 7.6) and a server installed the ISE (version 1.2.1.198)，Now we configured the CWA，Use guest portal as an employee and guest login url，We can use the manually create internal user and password successfully logged in, and we set up allow guest users to change password in Multi-Portal, but the user can not change the password in the guest portal ,I suspect the change password option on the Guest Portal actually works? Can anyone tell me how to change their own username password in the guest portal ?

Requiring Guests to Change Password
You can allow or require guest users to change their password after their initial account credentials are created by the sponsor. If guest users change their passwords, sponsors cannot provide guests with their login credentials if they are lost. The sponsor must create a new guest account.
You can either allow guests to change their passwords, or you can require that they do it at expiration and at first login. To require internal users using a guest portal to change their password upon their next login, choose Administration > Identity Management > Identities > Users . Select the specific internal user from the Network Access Users list and enable the change password check box.
Before You Begin
Create a Guest portal or modify the DefaultGuestPortal. This setting is specific to each Guest portal.
Step 1 Choose Administration > Web Portal Management > Settings > Guest > Multi-Portal Configuration.
Step 2 Check the Guest portal to update and click Edit .
Step 3 Click the Operations tab.
Step 4 Check either or both options:
Allow guest users to change password
Require guest users to change password at expiration and first login
Step 5 Click Save .
