Allow only locally defined users to logon on a AD Domain

Hello All,
I have a domain controller on my company. I do not want users to logon the PCs whatever they want. So I am trying to find a right way to configure "allow logon locally" group policy.
So I want only the users that I define in the control panel -> users, can logon locally.
Let's say there is a engineer in my company and his name is John Doe. And also he has a PC. So I do not want to any user to logon this computer except John Doe. So I am adding his AD account to Control Panel -> User Accounts section with Power User Group.
I need to configure my "allow logon locally" Group Policy so that only Locally defined Power Users can login.
I have Windows Server 2012 Standard edition. And Windows 7 on th workstations
Is that possible?
(Sorry for my bad english)

Hi,
By default, every user in AD automatically gets added to Domain Users. Domain Users are by default included in the local Users group on workstations when the workstations get added to AD. That means that unless you take action on either the user account or
the computer configuration, any user account in your AD environment can log into any computer whether you want them to or not.
Checkout the below link on deny or allow specific users or groups to logon locally to the workstation using Group Policy,

  • How to allow only the specified users/groups to open my pdf files...

    Hi there,
    I'm looking for resources/documents describing how to allow only the specified users/groups to open my pdf files by the Java API...
    I've found a sample code creating a policy in the following document.
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/es/sdkHelp/programmer/sdkHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/w whelp.htm?context=sdkHelp&topic=learn_lc_sdk_invokeremoting
    ( API Quick Starts (Code Examples) > Rights Management Service API Quick Starts > Quick Start: Creating a new policy using the Java API )
    But the sample code doesn't set recepients( users/groups ) who can open the pdf file.
    How can I make it ?
    Any samples ? or Does anybody can tell me which Java classes/methods I should use ??
    Policy#addPolicyEntry(PolicyEntry policyEntry) ??
    PolicyEntry#setPrincipal(Principal principal) ??
    or none of them ?
    Any hints are appreciated !
    Thanks.

    I'm not exactly sure what you are tying to do here, but typical approach when issuing one PDF par user/groups scenario goes like:
    1. Create policy for specific purpose and add principal (user/group)
    2. Apply policy on server side
    3. Deliver the file (via email etc...)
    If you are looking for sample codes, try quick start.
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/programLC/programmer/help/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/w whelp.htm?&accessible=true
    If you go "API Quick Start/Rights Management Service API Quick Starts", you might find something useful. I think you need "Creating Policies" or "Modifying Policies" for step 1 above, and "Applying Policies to PDF Documents" for step 2.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to allow only part of users in AD login sharepoint?

    We have a SP2013 farm using windows authentication. On the AD there are 10,000 user accounts and we have no edit permission on AD. (Hence, I cannot setup any group there) As the Sharepoint admin I only have a list of 1,000 users allowed to access. There
    is no existing group setup to indicate these 1,000 users.
    My question is, how can I allow these 1,000 user login Sharepoint while blocking the other 9,000? 
    My concern is these 9,000 users will get their My Site self-created when he browse the My Site web application. Another concern is when they access some page without authorization, they will get a form allow them asking for access. The site owner may grant
    access to them by mistake which I need to avoid.
    Thanks.

    Hello Mark,
    Regarding the second part of your question. You can uncheck the option 'Allow requests for Access', it is described how in the following thread:

  • Allow specific group/user to logon the spectic/group of computer

    Hello All,
    need suggestion, allow specific user/group of user to permit logon the specific/group of computers.

    Hi Parvez lslam,
    According to your description, you would like to allowspecific user/group of user to the specific/group of computers. Right?
    You can enable the following policy to determines which users can interactively log on to this computer:
    Computer Configuration > Policies > Window Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment:
    Allow log on locally
    For your information, please refer to the following article to learn more about this policy:Allow log on locally
    You can enable the following policy to determines which users can not interactively log on to this computer:
    Computer Configuration > Policies > Window Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment:
    Deny log on locally
    This security setting determines wgucg users are prevent from logging on at the computer. This policy setting supersedes the Allow log on locally policy setting if an account is subject to both policy. For your information,
    Deny log on locally.
    You can configure the users or group who are restricted to logon depending on your requirements. In addition, please pay attention to the scope of the policy. If you only to apply this setting to a specifis computer, you can configure this GPO to this computer
    or configure this computer's local group policy.

  • Local Network User with Local Only or Services Only Home Folder Setting

    Hi all,
    According to the OS X Server Advanced Administration Guide, under the "Choose a user’s home folder location" section, "If you choose Local Only, the user won’t have a home folder on the server and can’t log in using the account information stored on the server."  However, when I create a Local Network User account with a "Local Only" home folder, Server.app creates a home folder in that user's name in the User's directory of the Server itself.  According to the documentation that shouldn't happen, right?
    The documentation gives no mention to the "None - Services Only" setting for the Home Folder.  I will only be giving users access to DNS, File Sharing, NetInstall, Software Update and Profile Manager.  I believe all I need are "Local Network User" accounts.  However, the documentation confuses me on whether the Home Folder setting should be set to "Local Only" or "None - Services Only".  Can someone clarify this for me?
    Many Thanks!

    The idea is that a local home folder will get created, but the home folder will not be available to the outside world via services (e.g. Portable Home Directory). I don't believe anything in the services you provided requires a home folder. So, you should be able to get by with "None - Services Only".

  • Interzone communication with local defined zones

    We have defined two local zones. The internal zone allows only to register from an private network. The other zone allows to register clients from all other zone. The gatekeeper is accessible through static nat from the outside.
    Netmeeting clients from the different networks are registered in the right zone. Clients in the same zone can talk eachother. If we try to connect to an user in the other zone, we get a message that the specified user is not registerd in any zone.
    Our question: How can users from one zone see other users in the other zone, and how can they connect ? Should the h323-id of the client have a suffix like the zone name?
    gatekeeper
    zone local internal internal.net 10.x.x.x
    zone local external external.net
    zone subnet internal 10.x.x.x/24 enable
    no zone subnet internal default enable
    no zone subnet external 10.x.x.x/24 enable
    zone subnet external default enable
    .use-proxy internal remote-zone external inbound-to terminal
    use-proxy internal remote-zone external outbound-from terminal
    no shutdown
    Further the proxy function between the terminals of both zone is activated. the proxy interface is defined on the physical interface.

  • Cisco WLC Local Net user Authentication

    Hi,
    I have a Controller configured with local net users. Web policy with authentication has been configured for Layer 3 security. When the user tries to access the Wireless, they will be redirected to a web authentication screen, where they need to enter the pre-configured credentials to gain access.
    Now, the requirement is: users shall have to provide login credentials only upon initial access (one time) and shall not have to accept an Acceptable Use Agreement when their systems connect to the wireless network. The next time user tries, they should be provided access automatically.
    We have configured the following setting on Windows 7 client:
    1. Connect automatically when the network is in range is selected
    2. Please refer the attached screenshots for further configuration for Windows 7 Clients.
    On WLC: SSID --> Advanced Options --> We have disabled the “Enable Session Timeout” setting, but we still have "Client Exclusion" Enabled.
    When a computer is shutdown and brought back up within a few minutes the wireless credentials seem to stick, however, when the computer is shutdown for a period of overnight, the credentials are no longer cached and we have to re-authenticate to the wireless.
    Is this issue because of  "Client Exclusion" Enabled on the SSID/WLAN ?
    If not, can someone share the complete procedure to make sure that users local net user credentials will be cache.
    Thanks,
    Jagan

    Well you only can keep it connected for an x number of minutes. You will not be able to set it longer than a day. This means, I can't configure the WLC/Client to cache the credentials permanently? And everyday, they have to enter the credentials to access SSID?You can extend it up to 30 days, but you have to run v7.5.  After that, they will have to login again.Change the idle timer to about 2-4 hours and that should keep the client on the WLC DB. This will allow the client to go away for the number set and come back without having to login again. As you said, if I configure the WLC Idle Time for 2-4 hours, do the client have to provide credentials the next day when they access Wireless?Yes.  See my previous answerIs there any other way via which this can be achieved? (The limitation is : client should be authenticated only with the WLC.)If you are looking for clients to login once and then never again, the answer is no.  You have two choices, you can use the new v7.5 and use the sleeping client feature which gives you max of 720 hours (30 days), or you use th eidle timer and after the idle timer expires, the user will have to login.Thanks,Jagan

  • Local OS user from OAS

    Hi friends:
    I need to get the local OS user connected using db package.
    I am building a web application with web toolkit. I define a function with this code:
    function f_get_os_user_connected return varchar2 is
    v_os_user_connected varchar2(50);
    begin
    select sys_context('userenv', 'os_user')
         into v_os_user_connected
         from dual;
         return(v_os_user_connected);
    end f_get_os_user_connected;
    Then I use a procedure to get the OS user an printed into a html page using the following code:
    procedure ........
    v_current_os_user varchar2(50);
    begin
    htp.p('<td width=10% valign=middle align=center>');
    htp.p('<font color="0000FF" size=2><b>'||v_current_os_user||'</b></font>');
    htp.p('</td>');
    If I run the function with TOAD or sql*Plus i get the OS user: aemiranda, But when I use the web application, the OS user displayed is oracle.
    I guess this is because I am running the web application using OAS and the user in there is oracle.
    How can I get the local (user machine) OS user connected inside a procedure?
    Thanks a lot,
    Abdel Miranda

    Thank you for your answer.
    But give me some ideas to do this:
    I am building (as I wrote before), a web application using web toolkit.
    This application is kind a forum (just like where we are right now), so every single created thread must show (and save) the user who create the note.
    So, this functionality must be irrelevant for the user connected. So, in my case, if the user aemiranda is connected to the web application, as soon as he press the save button to creates a new thread, the web application must get the user connected and save into the database table.
    This user, aemiranda, is not a database user, it is the local OS user connected in the PC. Why is not a database user? Because these application is only for developers environment. Is this environment, we can't connect to the database with our users, we use a public user, who has all priviledge's of the database objects.
    So, if aemiranda is connected to the PC, but is connected with superuser to the database when it use the web application, I need to write a procedure which get the OS user, aemiranda and use it to save it into the table.
    any ideas to do that.

  • Local net users - usernames case sensitive

    I am facing an annoying issue with our WLC's 5508.We have configured some local accounts - local net users and we found out that usernames are case sensitive.For example when i setup an account with username:TEST and the then try to login with username:test  i get authentication failure..
    I thought that only the admin accounts were case sensitive.
    Has anyone else faced this problem?Is there any solution for this as i have already configured 60 local accounts.
    Thank you in advance.

    #Management Usernames are case sensitive.
    #Local net user seem to be case sensitive per below bug, however it is a old one on 4.0.
    http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCsg72444
    *for local netuser, Does WLC allows to create same usernames like this - Apple, APPLE, AppLe. If allowed then at this point its considered that wlc allows to create case insensitive users for local netusers. Else if only Apple is allowed then it is case sensitive for user creation.
    *Now try to login like - apple, aPPLE and also like Apple, APPLE, AppLe.
    *Share the result along with the tested wlc code for conclusion. Let see what works and doesn't.

  • Cisco WLC local net user - guest account

    Hello,
    We have a 2504 Cisco WLC.  I am creating Local Net Users for one of the WLANs that uses Web Auth and the Local Database.
    My one question is, what does a "guest account" do differently than a non guest account besides the ability to create the lifetime of the account?  I mean, it seems both give access to the WLAN so I am failing to see the difference between the two.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    A guest acct can only login to a webauth WLAN. A normal netuser can login to any WLAN that you allow or all. Including 802.1x if that WLAN is allowed to chek the local db

  • HELP needed on Remote Management set to allow access for all users

    my mac mini snow leopard server runs in a data center and i use screen sharing to interact with it. i played with the sharing settings remotely yesterday and changed "allow access for" to all users. i was disconnected immediately and i couldn't logon again. i have no luck changing to other users. i don't want to make a special trip to the center to change it back to whatever it used to be. i can still use afp to connect but the screen sharing option is no longer available. what does "allow access for all users" mean anyway?
    thanks!

    As its name implies, allow access for all should allow any valid user account to access the server. I'm not sure why it's no longer working. It almost sounds like the ARDAgent crashed.
    Either way there's a command-line interface to the ARD preferences:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/ki ckstart
    man kickstart discusses the options, including examples of how to enable access for specific users.

  • No Plug-In specified and not allowed to bring up user interface

    Hello,
    We have several users here getting an error when trying to sign a pdf with Adobe's digital signature.  When they click in the field box to sign the document they are getting the following error,"No plug-in specified and not allowed to bring up user interface for selection."  We are using Adobe acrobat 9 standard with the latest updates.  I have done a total uninstall and reinstall and recreated the digital signature and still the error persists.  I have gone as far as renaming the windows profile and nothing seems to work.  Any thoughts?
    Aaron

    A signature field may have associated so-called "seed values" that specify certain signature properties and restrictions. The document's author can associate "seed values" with an unsigned signature field. One of the "seed values" specifies which external signature plug-in must be used to sign this signature field. If you do not have the required plug-in in the Acrobat installation then you cannot sign this signature field. This is the most likely reason that you get this error message. In some environments this is done to restrict the signing to only signing credentials that reside on hardware modules or signing pads. There might be other reason why the document's author chose to put in this restriction.
    Contact the author of the document you are trying to sign and find out whether this is the case and if it is then which plug-in you need and where you get it from.

Maybe you are looking for
