Allow user to edit their own Address Book server entry

Hiya.
I'm looking for a way to let users edit their own information in the Address Book Server/Open directory. I've made sure the main group for users is in the AB Read-Write Groups group in WGM.
I've even checked the box in Server Admin that says "Allow users to edit their own contact information", but after adding the account to an address book client and authenticating as a user (For example, myself), I can't edit my own contact info anywhere that will push to the server.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks!

You'd need to write a php script or something to interface with applescript…

Allow user to manage their own schema with OEM

Hello,
I am trying to figure out a way to allow a user to use only DML and DDL statements on their own schema. I would like for them to have the ability to use Oracle Enterprise Manager to manager their database objects. And by manage I mean only create/alter/drop tables, select/insert/update/delete from those tables and other typical application developer tasks. No DBA type stuff at all. What is the best way to allow them to connect to OEM while allowing them to only manage the objects in their schema? Thanks.

Allowing user to reset their own password in BOXI3 SP3

Is there (a new) possibility to have users reset theri own password in BOXI3.1 SP3
Thansk for any help

I have to refrase my question, I am looking for the possibility to let the USER ask for a new password in case of "password forgotten" (The user is NOT logged on yet)
He/she should then ask via a link for an new password without bothering the BO-user-administration.
This functionality is found on many websites, so I thought : there should be a possibility WITHIN SAB/BO
On BOB I found a document named "Self-Serve Documentation.doc";, may be ther is a easier way ??

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.

Cant add new contacts to Address Book Server

I would like to have a Global Address Book Server where all the user can add/delete contacts. I have done all the setups but in the iMacs (the users) I can see the Address Book Server but NOT the + button to add a new contact. Why ?
In the group name, together to "Address Book Server" there is not any error icon so I understand the client-server connection is well done.
Can someone tell me what should I check ?
Thank you in advanced

I was look ing at this last night. I think there's an 'add new contacts to' type pop-up somewhere in the client account settings. That might be it.

How do I setup a specific user to edit their department phone numbers?

We have and IT liaison in each department and I'd like them to be able to edit their own departments mailboxes attributes. ie. phone numbers, title...
I was hoping they would be able to do this in Outlook by opening up the Address Book selecting the user, and changing their new phone number, title ...
What do I need to do to allow them to manage this task for their department only?

Hi PennyM,
Based on my knowledge, Mail Recipients role is the least permission to do what you need. What's more, if different departments are in different Organization Unit, you can use the following cmdlet to let IT liaison edit their OU only.
New-RoleGroup -Name "test OU permission" -Roles "Mail Recipients" -Members test1 -RecipientOrganizationalUnitScope contoso.com/users
Hope this can be helpful to you.
Best regards,

How can I get Address Book Server to share contacts between users?

I want to have a Shared Address Book for the users on my installation of OS X Lion Server. Users will keep their own contacts individually but there are certain lists and contacts who need to be shared between users and I can't find any way of getting Lion Server to do this. I know it was a problem in Snow Leopard Server but I hoped it had been fixed.
Any suggestions?

Create a new user on the Server called 'ouraddressbook' or whatever. Exit the Server. Into Address Book on your Admin/Client machine create a new Account. Account type is CardDAV, Username and Password the same as the User you created on the Server… 'ouraddressbook' or whatever, and then enter your Server's address as text or numbers. Click creat and the rest is straight forward. Now give the set up details of that new Account to the others who want to share your 'ouraddressbook' with you.The Clients must have, I think, Mac OS 10.6 or upwards to have an Address Book that with co-operate.
You will see a new group in Address Book.
If you don't already know, do not add accounts to Address Book or iCal on the Server. Everything is Admin and Client Side. In the beginning I was also adding accounts to iCal and Address on the Server. It works fine but it is just one extra thing that could become corrupted. Let the Server 'serve' the Users you create on it.
Hit me if you have problems.

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.

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

Firefox option "Allow Website to choose their own font/color" fails in High Contrast

On Windows 8.1 and Firefox 32, the option to Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above" Fails completely if Windows 8 is using a High Contrast Theme.
Regardless of the Windows Theme, Firefox should allow pages to use their designed colors otherwise problems will exist on a number of sites. Including the Mozilla.org page.
With the Allow Pages... turned on, it should look like this:
http://yosemitelandscapes.com/temp/correct.jpg
Instead the Windows High Contrast is forced upon the web site:
http://yosemitelandscapes.com/temp/incorrect.jpg
For reference Chrome does this correctly which has forced me to switch to the Chrome Browser until a fix is issued for this problem.
NOTE: This is not the same problem people reported where High Contrast did not function in Firefox 29. But I think it may be related to the fix.
I have tried "reverse logic" and turned these options on and off to see if the behavior changed. Pages refreshed and even closed and reloaded. I can find no way to work in High Contrast Themes and allow pages to show up normally in Firefox 32.
I much prefer the security and design of Firefox. Help us please!!!

That's a painful example. I don't have access to Windows 8/8.1 myself, but I suspect this is by design, as I have seen other screenshots from users using high contrast dark themes that did not have background colors and images.
Firefox 32 contains a change from this bug: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1042625 Bug 1042625 - Page should be drawn in accordance with the high contrast themes]. The testing (and a comment in the patch) refers to solving a problem on Windows 7, but apparently Windows 8 also was affected.
I don't know whether there is a workaround to tweak what is and isn't displayed in the page with a high contrast theme.

Need a shortcut to "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above option preference" I know where it is and how to use it but I have to go through 7 mouse clicks to change it, then a few minutes later change it back. I also know the sequnce is alt t, alt o, alt c, alt a, then ok, ok. Got to be a way to make a one key short cut for this. I use a black background to reduce eye strain, but about 10% of the webpage I go to can't be send with black so I have to go into tools and hit 6 or 7 things to chnage it then after through with webpage have to do it all over at Not allow webpages to have own color. Very very cumbersome.

Some sites don't have symbols unless "allow pages to choose their own fonts" is checked

With option "allow pages to choose their own fonts..." deselected, some symbols are improperly displayed.
I think I know what's happening. With the option selected, FF displays some symbol characters with the wrong font.
But, this doesn't make sense, since these symbols are not in any language font. None of them will produce the correct symbols if selected as the personal preferred font. So, it's incorrect to render these symbols in any of the fonts selected as my personal preference, regardless of status of this option.
So, FF should use the a symbol font for these symbols regardless of this preference setting.

You can accomplish what you want with a user style. Here are step-by-step directions. If you need any more help, just ask.
# Leave "Allow pages to choose their own fonts" enabled.
# Install Stylish.
#* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/
# After Stylish is installed, open the Add-ons Manager, User Styles category.
# Click the Write New Style button at the top.
# In the style editor window, paste either of the following. Give the style a name and then click the Save button.
'''Variant #1''' 
This is the easiest and safest thing to do. It applies your default sans-serif font to all sites, except those you specify. To specify exceptions, replace the placeholders with actual domain names. To add new exceptions, add another '''|''' symbol followed by the domain name.
<pre><nowiki>@-moz-document regexp("https?://(?!(example-of-an-exception.com|www.placeholder.site-exception.net)).*") {
* { font-family: sans-serif !important; }
}</nowiki></pre>
'''Variant #2''' 
This requires a bit of work on your part. You must know the font that's being used to display the symbols in question. Right-click a symbol and choose Inspect Element. In the Inspector pane, click the Fonts tab. You should see the font family names listed there, labeled with "remote". The actual font family name is below, under "Used as:". 
You're going to want to specify your ideal font first, then the site's fonts after that. If certain characters can't be rendered with the font you want, then Firefox should fall back to the second font in the list, or the third, and so on. If none of the specified fonts contain the required characters, then Firefox will display the Unicode codepoints (rectangles with numbers in them).
<pre><nowiki>@-moz-document url-prefix("http://"), url-prefix("https://") {
* { font-family: Arial, "Segoe UI Symbol", FontAwesome, PlaceholderFontOne, "Placeholder Font Two", sans-serif !important; }
}</nowiki></pre>

Content tab in Options..."Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above" and it's box disappeared from my options...I need it back...

I was having problems with some sites having such faded lettering that I couldn't even read them. So I unchecked the box for "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above". That screwed EVERYTHING up...backgrounds on websites are gone and buttons are hardly recognizable on some pages (including this one). I went back to re-check that box, and that option is no longer in the menu...the whole sentence and it's associated check box are completely gone. I even tried tabbing through to see if I just couldn't see them, and nothing. Absolutely disappeared. I also tried checking and unchecking the same box under the "advanced" button settings and that made a difference on how web pages looked, but did not fix the problem...Help???

Did you look here?
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Note that these settings affect background images.

When "allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above" is un-checked in the options menu, I am unable to see images on websites. How do I maintain having the box un-checked and still view images?

I recently decided to switch the colors around in Firefox. I work in a pretty dark environment and having dark colored text on white or bright backgrounds is rather difficult on my eyes in the dark.
I switched the background to a dark gray, the text to a light gray and both visited and unvisited links to a light blue. Along with these changes, I unchecked the "allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above" box.
After unchecking the box, I am no longer able to view images on many websites. The images all turn gray - as if Firefox has changed their image into part of the background. When I check the box, I am able to see images fine, however, the websites usually revert back to their bright backgrounds with dark text.
Any help and assistance with this is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

You can use the NoSquint extension to set font sizes (text/page zoom) and text colors on web pages.
