Adding a guest user

How do I add a guest user and set it up so that the guest user can use X and all that.
Also, when I start arch it goes directly to console. I like this as opposed to a log in manager. With the help of my fellow archers I added arguments to the xinitrc so that typing "xinit xfce" executes xfce4-session, "xinit X" starts an xterm, etc. etc. Upon starting up I get the login: prompt. Is there any way that I can make it say "type xinit xfce to use the gui, password for guest is blah". Just a small disclaimer to help people who have no idea how to use Linux but want to use my printer.
I've added a guest user before but I could never get the guest user to be able to use X or anything. Any help would be appreciated.
P.S. The guest user is only there because I have the only printer in the house and I don't want to give out my password. Adding a guest user would allow people to print when I'm away.

Are all the computerse in the house on the same network? Would setting up your machine to allow other machines to use the printer over the network solve your problem? The latter solution seems much better from many angles, though I don't know what other constraints you're working with. If it does turn out to be feasible, check out samba (assuming the other machines are Windows) or cups.

Now i want signIn link on my every page.when a user clicks the link he should be navigated to login.html.
User can browse the pages without getting logged in as a guest user.l
How can I achieve the abve functionality for a guest user.
Thanks

The Anonymous-role works for a page, but now when i call login.html and try to login i get Http:403 error.
Is there a way to forward to a particular page from my login.html if the authentication is success, may be return to the page which requested for login.

Adding new folder as a guest user

I am logging on to a guest user account and going into Itunes so that i can have a separate library than my wife. Through the admin account i copy folders to the shared directory and have been able to add some folders into my guest Itunes account. But now when i try that it locks up the program and the task manager shows itunes is not responding so i shut it down and go back in. This only happens when i try to add a folder. I can add a file with no problem but that adds some time to what i am doing. I have restarted the entire computer and the problem still happens.

If you have a flash drive or EHD connect it and copy the library (if the library is small enough to fit) to it before logging out of the guest account. Or drag the library to the Trash bin in the Dock to burn it to a CD or DVD disk (again if the library is small enough to fit).

Guest Users - Proxy By Pass

Hi All,
I would like to take your advice about best practice for Guest wirless users. We have Anchor controller and we are using Cisco ISE sponsor portal & Guest Portal so my query is related to proxy server. Should the guest users go through proxy or we can safely bypass the proxy for guest IP subnet ?
what is the recommended deployment or best practice approach ?
Thanks

It is a best practice to configure your guest portal on its own ISE physical interface with its own IP address. This drastically reduces the security risk of an ISE compromise. Separating the Admin portal from the guest portal provides some of this added security. You can specify the port used for each web portal, allowing you to use different ports for the end-user portals. For more detail over guest configuration please see the below link.

Scheduling WCS Guest User Accounts

Hi all,
I am question concerning scheduling WCS guest user accounts. I would appreciate having opportunity to schedule WCS guest account as a lobby ambassador. I know it is possible to do that but only in case that you allow (as administrator) for the user "lobby ambassador" set up "lifetime" to unlimited. If you set up a limited lifetime in "Defaults for creating Guest User accounts", the lobby ambassador is not able to schedule WCS guest account because this options is missing.
Is it possible to do that without this restriction?
The second issue is the email which consists of the guest user account credentials. Each time the scheduled time comes up, the guest user account credentials are emailed to the specified email address.
Is it possible to send the credentials right after creating the guest user account and not when the scheduled time comes up which can be a week later?
Jozef

No this should not be done because, the credentials are pushed by WCS to the controller only when the time comes.
Once the WLC confirms the user is created, then WCS goes ahead and send you the credentials.
Technically this could be added to WCS, it would be a PERs : Personnal Enhancement Request to be filed from your System Engineer, Account / Sales team

Prime Infra: Add guest user to all WLC's

Hi all,
I have prime infra 2 running, with 2 WLC's v7.4
1 WLC has all the AP's, the other one sits in the same mobility group in case the first one fails (it has no joind AP's when acting as standby).
When I create a guest user in Prime Infra, it only gets created on the WLC with the AP's joined.
So WLC1 has the AP's WLC2 has none -> I create a guest user and it is added to WLC1
I do a failover, WLC1 has no AP's WLC2 has all the AP's, I create a new guest user, it is added only to WLC2
Is there a way that I can add a guest user, and it adds it to the 2 WLC's?
Thanks in advance!

Did you install the application in /Applications? If so, then it's available to all users on that machine and they can add it to their Dock, or you can login to each account and add it to their Dock.
When creating new accounts, the template used is the one you get when you first create an account on a new Mac, and that was specified by Apple.

Cisco prime guest user email

hello
when adding a guest in the cisco prime there is a option that you can print or email the user details.
is it possible to change the print page and the email that is send.
a need to add other picturen and change the template of the email and printing
thanks

Hello,
The logo on the page which would be printed with the guest user credentials can be customized. It can be done from:
Administration > Users, Roles & AAA > Users > Click on the User name for 'Lobby Ambassador' > Click on the 'lobby Ambassador Defaults' tabs & scroll down to see the 'update Logo' option.
The details of the emails/credentials format can't be customized.

RDBMSRealm, everyone group, guest user

Hi folks, I'm having some fun with the rdbms realm lately and have a few
questions.
We're using the RDBMSRealm example with form based auth under WLS 5.1 SP 9 and
have the following in web.xml
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>All Pages</web-resource-name>
     <description>These pages are only accessible by all authorised xyz users.</description>
<url-pattern>*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<description>These are the roles that have access</description>
<role-name>
xyz
</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<security-role>
<description>All application users</description>
<role-name>
xyz
</role-name>
</security-role>
which basically says that every page in the web-app requires a user to be in the
xyz role and does seem to work fine.
Now, what I'd like to do is to allow everyone to access one particular page
within the application (that is, this page does not require the xyz role). So
something like the following would be great.
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Some Particular Page</web-resource-name>
     <description>This page is accessible to everyeone.</description>
<url-pattern>/particular/page.jsp</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<description>everyone can get at this page.</description>
<role-name>everyone</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
However, this doesn't seem to work, I get redirected to the form based login
page and once I've logged in can get to the page that I'm hoping shouldn't
require a logged in user.
So I'm wondering about the xml syntax and semantics.
- What are the rules around specific and general mappings, like will a
more specific mapping be used before falling back to the general mapping?
- Are the mappings applied in order (first to last) and the first match
taken?
- Are the rules according to section 10 of the servlet spec applicable here?
Now my problem might also be the RDBMSRealm its self -- I'm also having some
problems with the everyone group and the guest user. If I remove the first
constraint above and only include the /particular/page.jsp constraint to the
everyone group things still don't seem to work right.
I can see the realm call getGroup("everyone") and getUser("guest) but both
calls return null, since these principals are not in our database
tables. However, if I hit http://localhost:7001/AdminRealm I do see a list of
all groups that our RDBMSRealm knows about and I also see the everyone group
which contains system and guest users and so I have more questions.
- Does CachingRealm fall back to the standard properties realm if it gets nulls
from the RDBMSDelegate?
- Does the everyone group include unauthenticated users (i.e. guest) as I'm
hoping?
I've tried adding an instance of weblogic.security.acl.Everyone to my
RDBMSDelegate class and checking if the call to getGroup is looking for
"everyone" in which case I return this instance but this doesn't seem to do
anything either. I also tried adding this everyone group to the list returned
by getGroups but that didn't help and I carried the idea through to getUser and
getUsers with a guest user but again no luck. I'm always forced to authenticate
before I can get to the page that should allow anyone (everyone) to see it.
Any help, ideas, advice, beer, etc. would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Derek

Update-I've got it working.
AS well as the isMember change mentioned below I altered getPrincipal
for both the RDBMSRealm class
if(name.equals("guest")){return createUser("guest","guest");}
if(name.equals("everyone")){return new Everyone(this);}
and RDBMSDelegate
if(name.equals("guest")){return realm.createUser("guest","guest");}
if(name.equals("everyone")){return new
weblogic.security.acl.Everyone(realm);}
did something to RDBMSUser so that guest always authenticates
(alternatively you could put the guest user on the database, surely?)I did see various examples of the guest and everyone additions to the realm
code, but I also read some stuff that indicated that if the rdbms realm returns
null for these requests then the caching realm should fall back to the standard
properties realm which does have the guest user and everyone group defined.
With the debugging turned on this does seem to be what it does and the
guest/everyone code doesn't seem to be needed. I also checked the
http://localhost:7001/AdminRealm servlet and did see the everyone group with
system and guest users as part of it.
>
Allow guest access to the file servlet (otherwise they can't be sent any
HTML pages - my best guess would be that this is your problem).This was probably part of the problem, judging by the messages from the realm
debugging.
Also I altered weblogicURL.policy to allow 'everyone' access to the page
that was to be unrestricted - so I guess you should set
I hope this helps, if not (and you haven't already) turn on RDBMSRealm
debugging - eventually I found the information useful (in that it tends
to tell you what it has last been looking for, and the methods used)In the end, I found that specifying that the everyone group is required for a
particular resource didn't seem to work. Instead I protected the majority of my
application with a set of rules and left all other pages without any matching
rules and the guest user then seems to work ok.
The servlet 2.3 spec has an addition to the <role-name> tag which allows a * to
indicate all roles but this isn't in the 2.2 spec.
Thanks for the help!

Derek

Guest User SNMP Traps

Hi all,
I run into a confusing behavior. When I use the Lobby Amabassador to add/delete an Guest User with limited life time I get a SNMP Trap (thats what i want) but when I add an Guest User with unlimited life time I never got a SNMP trap, wether the user is added or deletet by the Lobby Ambassador.
I dubble-checked that, with and without Lobby Ambassador Defaults, but I found no reason for that behavior.
Do you have any ideas? Maybe run into the same problem?
Thanks
Best regards
Peter

Hi Peter,

Unity Connection Speech Connect guest user licensing

I have set up Speech Connect on Unity Connection 8.0(2b) and have a question about importing or manually adding non-inbox users to the Speech Connect directory. From the sparse documents on this feature for Unity Connection it appears that you need to license the server per user to allow this. I have been able to import users from AD and manually add them, but the Corporate Phone Number field is grayed out and blank. We currently don't have any guest licenses installed.
Does anyone know if by adding guest licenses the Corporate Phone Number field would be either filled in during an AD import or editable if adding a user manually?
Thanks,
Mark

For non-subscribers, you need to purchase the appropriate amount of licenses for guest directory user access. The SKU is:
Speech Connect Guest User for Cisco Unity Connection
(for names in the company directory that do not have a Cisco Unity Connection user license)
UNITYCN-SCGUEST
I believe the use of contacts ties into this as well. When you create system contacts in Cisco Unity Connection Administration and enable them to be listed in the directory, they can then be accessed by users from the Connection directory. This allows callers to transfer to the extension of the system contact. I would try that first to see if it allows you to add a contact and enable them for directory access.

Guest user cann't access report when using xdo_user_name

when i added xdo_user_name into the sql, the report could no be accessed by Guest user via URL.
Firstly, create a very simple report.
i have set Guest user could access Guest folder and create a report under this folder.
1.data model:
select 'a' XDO_USER_NAME,
'b' XDO_USER_ROLES
FROM DUAL
2.generate a RTF template.
3.view this report
4.get link of this report
5.log out and access this report via URL by Guest
6. access this report successfully.
Secondly, update the data model:
select :xdo_user_name XDO_USER_NAME,
:xdo_user_roles XDO_USER_ROLES
FROM DUAL
access this report via URL by Guest user again, get error message:
The report cannot be rendered because of an error, please contact the administrator.

These bind variables are bounded to the user logged in, and these are not available for guest, thats why you get these errors.
log an support ticket for this, Oracle support/team will help you on this, if they think its nice functionality.

Why does GarageBand audio work for guest user but not my account?

Hello, I have a 15-inch MacBook Pro (2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3) from late 2011 that I bought brand new in 2012. I'm running OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 and my MacBook has 500 GB of storage.
About a month or two ago I tried to download the new GarageBand (10.0.2) but I had trouble completing the loops download. The download would stop halfway through because of a network error. So last week I decided to try to download it again, and I was able to do so after reading some discussions about the issue. I successfully completed the download in safety mode and then I restarted my MacBook. At this point I was able to open GarageBand 10.0.2 and create a new project. Unfortunately, there was no audio coming through the output and sound bar for the various audio components in GarageBand. I had no audio when previewing the loops or playing it back in an audio track. I didn't really test anything else out because I figured I needed to fix this problem first. I have read many discussion boards about audio problems with GarageBand. I have already made sure everything is set properly in the GarageBand preferences and the audio preferences in system preferences. I've tried restarting GarageBand and restarting the computer.
This evening I found a discussion from the username icewhatice and they seemed to have had my exact problem. I'm not sure that I found the answer on this discussion though. For reference, this is what icewhatice posted: "I have no audio coming from Garageband 10.0.2. Downloaded it on Saturday and have spent the last two days trying to figure out why it won't work. I'm using a macbook pro with an Alesis QX49. GB registers keyboard when I plug it in but no sound whatsoever, not even from the onscreen keyboard. It seems to read the keyboard as if I play a C chord, it appears in the display. I've done all the obvious stuff like check preferences, restart, I've deleted and downloaded new GB several times and always with same result. Actually, it took me about four attempts to download it in the first place as I was getting an internet connection error message right at the end of the download, and I see others have had that problem. Managed to solve that by downloading in safe mode but now the no sound thing is driving me absolutely crazy because I can't play my keyboard!!!!! Also, worth noting that there is no audio level being read anywhere, I believe in the new version this appears in the volume control at the top. I've also looked into it potentially being a problem with my keyboard and it possibly needing an update but can't find any difinitive answer for that anywhere. I've stopped looking into that because the on screen keyboard doesn't even work - if that worked then I would know at least GB works and it's something to do with the keyboard. So, I am at a complete loss. If anyone has any ideas about why this is happening or what I could do to solve then I would be very grateful."
After reading this, I realized that I am unable to create new tracks, and I realized that I have the same problems with old projects saved from the last version of GarageBand I had. I have not tried to download GarageBand again since it did not work for icewhatice. léonie ended this post by saying: "Something is certainly wrong - either the current project, some settings in your user account, or the downloaded GarageBand version. Or incompatible software may be interfering. If a new project does not work, try to test by logging into a different user account, for example the "Guest User" account. Create a new project using this account. Does GarageBand work better from this account? Then we will need to troubleshoot your preferences."
I have tried this and started a new GarageBand project in the "Guest User" account. GarageBand was working fine in the "Guest User" account and all of the audio was working properly. Does anyone know how I should troubleshoot my preferences?

If an application is working in a different account, but not in your regular account,try t find out, what you configured differently in your own account, for example start-up items or preference panes you are using, applications and other helper tools, that are only installed for your regular account. As a first guess, remove GarageBands preference files from the user library in your Home folder.
But you will have to reset all settings you did in the GarageBand preferences dialog. And GarageBand will not remember the last project. You'll have to find the file manually.
Remove these files from your User Library to a folder on your Desktop:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.garageband.plist
~/Library/Caches/garageband
Quit GarageBand, then remove the files to a folder on the Desktop and restart the computer, before trying again to open GarageBand.
You user library may still be hidden, as is the default in Mavericks: To open your hidden user library:
Select the "Home" folder icon (the little house) in the Finder's sidebar and press the key combination ⌘J to open the "view options".
Enable "Show Library Folder".
Then open the Home folder and open the Library folder inside and navigate to the Preferences, Caches, or Containers folder. Remove these folders completely - don't leave anything inside: ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/,
~/Library/Caches/garageband .

I can no longer see my account name, but get a Guest user account, I can no longer see my account name, but get a Guest user account

I can no longer see my account name so I can gain access to my information, but now all I get is a Guest user account and it won't let me log into that account. All it lests me do is re-start the computer and use it in restricted mode. Can someone please help me!

Recommendation for your consideration
Hopefully your original user account was an "administrator". I have two admin accts in case one admin. acct gets "trashed.
Lets see what other forum members offer: my solution requires use of terminal and works. CLI (Command Line Interface) might be intimidating for you but we'll see what others possibly offer.
As I say the solution I have works well and will allow you to create new user(s) replacing your former users whatever type they were. I promise to check back today if no solution to you is offered...
Let 'er rip and...

How do i get rid of the guest user account on my mac?

The guest user account keeps appearing on my login screen and i want to get rid of it, i do not want others to be able to access my account. How am i able to do this? I have tried to go on through the user section and nothing i seem to do in there helps. Please help!

You don't want to get rid of, it's a security feature. If someone steals your Mac, all that account permits is Safari access, no other access to the computer. This enables you to locate your Mac.

Some programs crash but not in safe mode or for guest user

Hoping that some talented and kind Mac wizard will help me solve a bizarre problem: Some but not all of my programs have started crashing immediately upon launch, but not in safe mode, nor when I log in as a guest user.
The problem began on February 5th, right after I installed an update to my OS (bringing it up to version 10.7.3), which included an update to the firmware for my computer, a Mac mini from mid-2010. The programs that began crashing upon launch *may* be those that were open at that time, but I can’t be sure. They include Adobe Reader, Picasa, Word for Mac, and a sweet little utility called uCalendarX.
Specifically what happens with, say, uCalendarX, is this: After I launch it, nothing appears on screen for a few seconds, and then comes a message that it is trying restore its windows, with a choice of whether to attempt restoring them or not. After a few more seconds comes the news that it has quit unexpectedly. The first several dozen lines of the crash log appear at the end of this posting.
So far my troubleshooting has revealed the following:
(a) When I reboot in safe mode, the programs that crash now work normally.
(b) When I boot the usual way but log on a guest user, the programs that crash now work normally.
(c) Fully emptying the trash made no difference.
(d) The problem was not solved by restoring my hard drive (via Time Machine) to its state the day before I downloaded that update to the OS and the firmware. (This was a drastic step, the intervention of last resort, and I was sure it would work. But no. Perhaps I did not go back far enough for the restoration.)
(e) Deleting the plist files and plist.lockfiles made no difference.
(f) Deleting the files for the app under Saved Application States made no difference.
(g) Disabing the user’s font cache (as happens in safe mode) made no difference.
(h) Uninstalling Adobe Reader, emptying the trash, downloading the latest version, and installing that made no difference – this latest version newly installed continues to crash (but not for a guest user, nor for me, the administrator, in safe mode).
(i ) Repairing permissions on the hard drive made no difference.
I will be mighty grateful for a solution to this perplexing, vexing problem!
B.t.w., I don’t know Unix but was able to do all those (fruitless) interventions listed above.

Thanks for thinking about my problem. I've already experimented with creating a new user, a co-administrator. The programs don't crash when that account is running, just as they don't crash when the guest-user's account runs. So it seems that the problem is limited to the default user's account, which is the one that was running when I installed the updates to the OS and the firmware. Another clue is that the programs that crash as soon as they are launched are *probably* the ones that were open at that time in that account. Yet deleting Saved Application States does not keep the programs from crashing when next launched.
So the mystery continues, but these additional facts will help with the diagnosis, I hope.
Thanks again for your suggestion.
Gordon
