AirPlay showing another users desktop. Security issue?

Has anyone else see this or can replicate it? Login as one user and airplay from mountain lion, stop, login as another user and air play to apple tv, it shows user a's screen despite user b having no access to user a. Just had my wife viewing my desktop, not a happy bunny.

That may be one reason the AirPlay icon changes color when active.

Word + Excel 2010 - Showing 'another user' on opening a file

Hi,
Bit of a odd question I would imagine but its quite a critical issue for us due to the nature of our work. All our employees have the latest Dell machines with Windows XP Pro and Office 2010 installed ... now we have a series of map drives (about 12) each
having over 500,000 documents in (across various directories). Now when a user opens a document either in Word or Excel it goes ready only and produces the 'document can only be opened in read only' message.
Now this is all normal, the bit that confuses me is 90% of the time it says 'document in use by another user' ... and 10% of the time, it will actually say the user who is in the document (using their logged in username) ...
In short, what I'm getting at is, how can I make office applications, namely word and excel say who is in the file, rather than 'another user'. This used to work perfectly in Office 2003 but since the upgrade to 2010 it's stopped.
Thanks
Mike

There is a public blog on file locking issues (http://blogs.technet.com/b/the_microsoft_excel_support_team_blog/archive/2012/05/14/the-definitive-locked-file-post.aspx).
I would suggest the following:
If you are seeing problems where the file is locked when double clicking from Windows Explorer, but the files open up correctly when opened in Excel or Word, do the following:
Turn off the Preview Pane, Details Pane and pop ups that show information about file and desktop items
This is a problem that has been reported to affect Windows 7 clients only, not Windows XP. The problem here may have something to do with the Windows Explorer in Windows 7. We are currently investigating this further and will post more information as it is
available.
In a Windows Explorer window, do the following:
1. Right click on the Start Button.
2. Click 'Open Windows Explorer'.
3. At the top left click Organize > Layout
4. Uncheck Details Pane and Preview Pane.
5. On a Windows menu, click on Tools > Folder Options. In the box that opens up, click on the View tab. Scroll down the list to
“Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items” and clear the checkbox and then click OK.
If you are seeing issues where the wrong user name is showing up, there is a known bug on that and a fix:
In cases where the wrong user name is displayed in the file lock dialog
Sometimes where it says 'another user' it has the name of someone that didn't open the file or it has no name at all. Just a big ' ' where a name ought to be. Fear not, there is a fix for this problem. The flavor depends on
whether you have Excel 2010 or Excel 2007. The below KB Articles contain hotfixes that address several issues, not just the file locked issue. But in the dialog of the article you will see this as one of the problem descriptions:
Assume that you have an .xls file that is protected by Information Rights Management (IRM) on a network share. When you open the file in Excel 2007, a File In Use dialog box appears. However, the dialog box does not display the
correct name of the user who locked the file. Therefore, you cannot edit the file.
Understand that these fixes don't make the File in Use dialog go away, they just correct the problem of showing bogus user name information on the dialog itself.

How can I screen share another users desktop on the _same_ macbook?

Hi,
I'm trying to login multi-user into my own Macbook.
What I mean is, on my macbook start a session logged in as another user on my own macbook.
Using JollysfastVNC I can do this, but its terribly slow, like unusable slow. Tried changing the color depth and everything.
I tried both Mac and VNC authentication and VNC usally gets so slow it freezes, and Mac is very slow and unusable.
How can I fix this?

Remote Management Multi-User security issue

Hello,
This issue concerns both Mountain Lion and Lion servers. If I'm not mistaken, the issue is also officially described by Apple in the Lion release about Remote Managemenr vs Screen Sharing features.
My question is simple and yet unanswered after hundreds of Internet searches:
Why on earth a non-Admin user has the right to Share and Control the screen of another (Admin) user being logged-in a (Mountain) Lion server? It looks like the trick is that "Remote Management" instead of "Screen Sharing" is active. So what? Why a non-Admin should be allowed at all to view another users desktop just by typing-in his/her own credentials?
Am I missing something or is Apple really out-of-security context? Our admin devoted significant effort to arrange access for the shared directories. For what? To find out that the Screen Sharing security under ARD Management (Remote Management) is non-existent?
Am I terribly wrong?
Any feedback will be highly appreciated.
D.

ITunes skipping problem - another user

This post is to let Apple know there is another user having an issue. I installed v7 and had a severe skipping problem but no lost music. I installed v7.0.1 and it reduced the issue but did not fix it. I have tried the recommendations from Apple (no plug ins, changed QuickTime sound out rate, increased volume, turned off sound enhancer, updated DirectX, updated sound card driver) to no avail.
I always install with anti-virus turned off and I am the administrator of my computer. My platform is a Dell Precision Workstation 340, pentium 4, 1.5 GB RAM, Windows XP Pro SP2. The sound card is Creative Sound Blaster Live Value (installed by Dell).

Creating another User Account Issues

Hello-
I recently created another user account because of of corruption issues and need to have the same functionality in the new user profile. I transferred all the old user profile data to the new user profile as per instructions posted here:
Locate the C:\Users\Old_Username folder, where C is the drive that Windows is installed on, and Old_Username is the name of the profile
you want to copy files from.
Select all of the files and folders in this folder, except the following files:
Ntuser.dat
Ntuser.dat.log
Ntuser.ini
Click the Edit menu, and then click Copy.
If you don't see the Edit menu, press Alt.
Locate the C:\Users\New_Username folder, where C is the drive that Windows is installed on, and New_Username is the name of the new
user profile you created.
Click the Edit menu, and then click Paste.
If you don't see the Edit menu, press Alt.
Log off, and then log back on as the new user.
After doing this I have noticed some programs not launching the same with missing info. For example TeamSpeak3 launches but opens as a new user with none of my saved bookmark profiles even though they are listed in the directory file. To me
it has to be a permissions thing or User data transfer issue, because I have the user data in the old user app data file but none in the new user app data.
I am the only user of this computer so there is no user issues with other people and would like full functionality. Thanks in advance.

@ Kate Li thanks for responding and yes I did follow the instructions in the folder options to unhide and show all the files I didn't copy>paste that portion just to save room on the post. The link is the same as the one I used:
Click the View tab, and then click Show
hidden files, folders, and drives.
Clear the Hide protected operating system files check box, click Yes to
confirm, and then click OK.
One mistake I did make was to copy>paste the shortcuts when I know now to just create them from the program directory (send to desktop) context.
Would you happen to have a link explaining how to go about transferring or importing registry files?

Issue creating a MatView for another user w/ a private DB Link

I am having an issue creating a materialized view for another user where the select statement for the MV uses a private db link. Looks like the following:
Logged in as user X, I run:
create materialzied view Y.foo
(select blah
from tbl@y_priv_db_link_here);
When I try to run this, I get a permission issue. User X has DBA privilege, user Y has create MV priv and has select priv on the table in the db link.
I can create this MV logged in as user Y. Cant create this logged in a user Y in test or prod environment, so this isn't an option.
Any ideas on how I can create this logged in a user X? I believe the issue here is that since this is a private db link owned by user Y, user X doesn't have access to this db link.
thanks.

Here is what I was trying to do:

3 BUILD IMMEDIATE
4 REFRESH
5 COMPLETE

HFM Security Issue - User can submit a journal by by-passing the approval step even though they are not an admin.

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone could help me with a HFM security issue on HFM 11.1.2.3 we are facing please?
The problem is that a user can by-pass the journal approval stage and post directly after submitting if Custom4 access control=All is selected.
If any of the other access controls (None, Read, Promote) for custom 4 are selected, the first two steps of the process are possible -
input and approval of the journal are possible but final posting of the journal is not and returns an error that says:
"User does not have the access right to perform this journal task"
The options I have thought for a workaround are as follows:
1.       1. Set up a 3rd user called data poster and remove submit journal role from user 1 (data inputter)
2.       2. Put in place process control and use the various review levels (could be quite time consuming given there is no time left for development)
Have anyone experienced this before and come up with a quick way of resolving this please? It would be very much appreciated.
We have two types of users who are associated with groups in HFM and have the appropriate roles assigned to them to complete their tasks,
they are:
1. A data Inputter (who inputs base data and journals, who has access to create and submit journals)
2.   2. A data reviewer (who approves journals)
The process is as follows:
1.       1. Logon as Data inputter to submit the journals
2.       2. Logon as Data reviewer to approve the journals
3.       3. Logon as Data inputter to post the Journals
We are using the custom 4 member to identify different adjustment types. At the moment we are able to set it up in such a way whereby Steps 1 and 2 can be completed
but once it comes back to step 3, we get an error as follows:
"User does not have the access right to perform this journal task"
(This error comes about when the access control on custom 4 is set to None, Read, Promote)
Custom 4 Access Rights looks as follows:
C4_ADJ01
C4_ADJ02
C4_ADJ03
C4_ADJ04
HFMDefault

When Custom 4=C4_ADJ01 all 3 steps can be completed but it by-passes step 2 (journal approval).
For all other Custom 4 we complete steps 1 and 2 successfully but not step 3 due to access issues.

How do I get the HDD to show on the desktop for all users?

I have found it by going to finder and preferences and show hard disks, but when another user logs in, it doesnt show. The Macs are networked and login using Active Directory, but as soon as I change the logon it doesnt show anymore.
I need this to show or a network share using SMB to be mapped for all users when they logon. I have software "Read and Write Gold 4 for Mac" and upon starting the software, it needs to look for a license file. I can either copy to all the Macs, or have one on a network share.
Any ideas welcome.

Looking around, it seems that some people have changed the Launchpad key and want to go back.
If there's a way to go back, then there must be a way to change it completely?
In this thread, Fabien says that if you enter
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist
into Terminal, you can bring the Launchpad key back.
