Allowing clear-text logins for multiple users

I'm not sure if this is the correct section to place this question in, so Mods, please move if needed.
As many know, Apple changed the AFP Client defaults in 10.5.x so that clear-text logins to servers are disallowed by default. You can edit the afpcleartextallow option in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient.plist to enable it on a per user basis.
What I wish to know is wether it's possible to allow clear-text logins on a global basis. I've looked at /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient.plist and it does not contain the afpcleartextallow option, and adding the option and setting it to "yes" (without editing the file in the user's preference folder) does not allow clear-text logins.
Is there some global preference file that this option could be added to that would preclude me from having to edit the preference file for every user? Part of the reason it's a problem is if you have multiple user accounts on multiple machines, or network based home folders stored on an AFP server that only supports clear text, for example, a Netware 6.5 server running NFA for Mac.
One problem I've seen is that until the user is actually at the desktop (well I think it's specifically when the Finder loads and reads the per-user preferences) the OS will prevent clear-text logins, regardless of the setting in the pref file, thus you cannot automatically mount volumes at login if the server only supports clear-text.
Any suggestions or advice greatly welcomed.

If you are familiar with the exchange man shell, use the new-mailboxsearch powershell cmdlet in your code. You can pass it a list of -SourceMailboxes(use get-content to pass your .txt to a variable, you'll want to place each name on a new line) to
search on/set the in place hold.. Here is the technet material on new-mailboxsearch.

How to restrict login for multiple users having same Role

Our Web Application is deployed on Tomcat 5.5
The requirement is ?
There are roles in application like "operator", "admin"?
There are multiple users created for each of the above role.
When one user of "operator" role is logged in, then
It should not allow to login for another user of "operator" role.
Also, if user did not log out & application gets close, then
It should not allow to login for another user of "operator" role.
Also, it should not allow to login for multiple requests of same user
(using another browser instance...)
Is it possible using session object?
But, using session object, it will create separate objects for different users,
So here I will not be able to restrict session object creation rolewise.
Also, how to retrieve these multiple session objects created for different users on server?
If anyone is having the solution please reply as soon as possible,
Thank you.

To tell you the truth, this is a stupid requirement. It must be an extremely fragile application.
In any case, you will have to write your stuff for that. Probably a filter that on login, logout, and session expiration checks, makes, or removes entries in a DB (using a synchronized resource to prevent race conditions) or possibly even simply in an application context object.

Best way to set up a Mac laptop for multiple users with AD logins

I am setting up a MacBook Pro running 10.4.11 that will be used as a "loaner" notebook for meetings, etc. The computer will be used internally at our company, so users will be logged into our network. Active Directory is set up on this computer to allow all domain users to log in using their own user name and password; this approach helps meet our company's security standards (we want to avoid using one common login or account for all users).
While this approach seems to fit our needs, it causes problems when it comes to running applications. For instance, each new user is prompted to enter first-time usage information when launching an application (forcing them to contemplate registration information, various settings, etc.). I've given "everyone" read-write privileges to the HD > Library and the Applications folder, but this does not solve anything and may not be a good approach anyway.
I would welcome any advice on the best way to set up this computer for multiple users logging in via Active Directory. Thanks!

Where are you installing the third party applications? It sounds like they are being installed in the 'User 1' account, rather than the /Applications folder (admin or not, one user normally can not see into another user's folders). Repairing permissions only works for applications that have a file in /Library/Receipts, not on folders in general, so you would need to check the permissions for the folders in question.

Creating some sort of text template for multiple pictures

Hello, I'm new to the forums and new to photoshop elements. Let me lay out the situation so you have a better idea of what I'm trying to do and why. I work at a real estate office and we are going to hang a tv on the wall and display a slideshow of our homes for sale and ontop of the pictures I am going to add text to each photo with information about the home. I want to be able to add text in the same proportions in the same spot on each photograph. Is there some automatic way of doing this? I will have to hand type different info on each photo. The pictures come from different cameras (each agent takes their own photos) with different resolutions and doing it one by one (ive done just a few out of over a hundred so far) I'm finding out that one size text works on one but when I try to use the same size font on the next photo it's either too big or too small, I guess this is because of the different resolutions of each camera. I know I may have rambled a bit here but if anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be thankful.
If I need to clear up anything I've said let me know.
Thanks

The font size is correlated with the resolution.
Have you investigated use of Powerpoint to construct a continuous-loop presentation?
"Self-running presentations are a great way to communicate information without having to have someone available to run a slide show. For example, you might want to set up a presentation to run unattended in a booth or kiosk at a trade show or convention. You can make most controls unavailable so that users can't make changes to the presentation. A self-running presentation restarts when it's finished and also when it's been idle on a manually advanced slide for longer than five minutes.
When designing a self-running presentation, you'll want to keep the setting in mind — for example, whether the booth or kiosk will be in an unmonitored public place or whether supervision will be available. The answer will help you determine what elements you add to your presentation, how much control you give users, and what steps you need to take to prevent misuse.
To set up a self-running show: open the presentation, click Set Up Show on the Slide Show menu, and then click Browsed at a kiosk (full screen). When you click this option, Loop continuously until "Esc" is automatically selected."

Single login for multiple domains

Can anyone point out a blog or post of a single login for
multiple domains? For example, let's say I own asite.com and
bsite.com.
I want a user who logins to asite.com to also be logged into
bsite.com if they visit that site. BSite.com is clearly a microsite
of asite.com but we'd like to continue to use that domain if the
visitor is on that site instead of redirecting them to keep login
credentials
Thanks

If you're using cookie based login system, I'd imagine you
could set a cookie to be valid for both of your sites.
<cfcookie name="myAuthcookie" value="myAuthValue"
domain=".asite.com;.bsite.com">
That way both asite.com and bsite.com can read your cookie.
Note the notation; always include the preceeding dot in the domain
values. (two dots for top level domains, etc.)
Strangely CFCOOKIE documentation doesn't mention anything
about using semicolon separating multiple domains. It did in CF5
documentation, but not since.

How to make Adobe acrobat feature to convert SAP Pages to PDF available for multiple users connected to the same Citrix server

Hi,
In my previous endeavours to solve this business requirement where multiple users will be able to use the Adobe acrobat feature to convert SAP pages inside SAP to PDF, I was told that it is not possible to do this for multiple users at the same time. However I have found an article according to which it says it is possible. Could you check it once and let me know if this article can be used for implementing the requirement stated above as this link clearly indicates that Adobe Acrobat is supported on Citrix.
Please find the link below where it states it is adobe acrobat is supported in Citrix for multiple users.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/citrix.html.

1. What is the Acrobat feature that you mean? There's nothing specific to SAP included with Acrobat.
2. Yes, some Terminal Server configurations appear supported (check carefully). All users of the terminal server will need a license, so far as I know - total licenses = total individual people using.

Setting up accounts for multiple users

Suggestions for allowing multiple users to access one account to avoid having to reimburse folks for every download on their work iPads?

short answer, no. Mail.app does not have support within itself for multiple user accounts. It displays the messages from the mailboxes of the user that is currently logged in. so if you want multiple people to read their mail on the same mac without being able to read other users' mail, you will need to set up multiple user accounts. alternatively, use another client. i think thunderbird supports multiple mail accounts under the same user account. hope this helps.

Is there a way for multiple users to connect to my home sharing with their iOS device to select music to stream to my A/V receiver jukebox style?

I have an A/V receiver that I can connect to and select music to stream over my network but I want to know if I have a party if it's possible for multiple users to have access on their own devices to my home shared music and select music to play like a jukebox.

I almost forgot that using folders can allow each folder to contain a song. I also recall touch tracks or one key play...

IT_RECEIVERS parameters needs to be passed as shown below.
    wa_receivers-receiver = "..........External mail id".
    wa_receivers-rec_type = 'U'.
    wa_receivers-express = 'X'.
    APPEND wa_receivers TO lt_receivers.
    CLEAR wa_receivers.
Once mail is triggered to the external mail id's, check the mail is transferred from SAP or not using the tcode SCOT.
In SCOT,follow the path UTILITIES-> Overview of send orders.

Table data getting locked for multiple user for a Z-table updation after EH4 to EHP6 Upgrade

Hi,
We have one new upgraded system at EHP6, earlier system was at EH4 where multiple user can Run one Z T-code and can edit the entries for the Z-table.
This Z-Tcode is calling SM30 internally for updating the Z-Table.
Now in the upgraded system, when one user is into the transation code, and other user runs that T-code, systems throws a POP-UP mesg saying that the data is locked and can be displayed only(can not be edited).
I have debugged the code in both the environment and found that there is one statement Call C_ENQUEUE ID < > field. for which the Sy_Subrc is coming as 2 in the upgraded system which is causing the issue, where as the sy-subrc is 0 in the system at EH4 level.
Can any body tell me why this Z-tcode is not allowing to be accessed by multiple user at same time for Editing(updating the table) .
Regards,
Archana Jha

Hi,
When you create the lock object you can define the keys.
and then you can use those in the ENQUEUE function.

Taking long time on First login for some users

Dears,
We are facing very strange issue in our ECC6 server.
For some users when they login put userid and password it takes 15-20 min to login and sometimes give time out.
but after first login it works fine.
If I remove roles from those user and assign them SAP_ALL or one or two roles,they also work fine.
One more thing some other users having same authorization are working fine.
One solution of this issue I found to delete the user having problem and copy it with user who is working fine.
But not getting root cause of the issue and permanent solution of the issue.
Please suggest.

We just experienced the same problem after updating our SP-Stack.
Some users were experiencing a long logon time, and a long time to return to the Session Manager screen. Changing to the SAP Menu instead of the User Menu cleared the problem for those users, but they no longer had quick access to transactions that were in the User Menu, and not in the Favourites.
Note 203617 was not the answer for our problem, but it did point us in the right direction.
After upgrading our SP Stack last Friday, it appeared that some of the roles in the Customer Namespace (ie, zRoleName001) had inherited a copy of the Logistics or Accounting SAP menu trees. This meant that users with those roles ended up with a User Menu which contained the 10 or so transactions that are assigned to their roles, and additionally, the entire Logistics or Accounting Tree which contain 35,000+ items. In transaction SM66, users who are waiting for their logon to complete are shown doing a sequential read of table AGR_HIERT.
To correct this, I removed the Logistics and Accounting menu trees as appropriate from the User menu of those roles in PFCG. Users that use the User Menu can now logon normally.
This is what I did to troubleshoot:
* Pick one user that is experiencing long login times, and have them change to the SAP Menu instead of the User Menu. If their logon time improves, open transaction SE38, and run the program EASY_ACCESS_NUMBER_OF_NODES.
* Specify the user's account and click on Execute.
* If the program times out, chances are that they have an enormous number of items in their User Menu - continue with the next step.
* If the program finishes, look at the number of Menu Nodes for that user - Note 203617 says that a User Menu with 1000 or more items is considered "large" and will degrade logon performace as the User Menu buffer is constantly swapping in and out.
* Note each of their each of the user's roles from SU01, then check the Menu tab for each of those roles in PFCG to see if any roles are adding large sections of the SAP menu.
* If necessary, maintain the Role's Menu items in DEV, and transport to TEST, then Production. BE CAREFUL to ensure that the Users list is not modified when transporting the changes into Production, or the Role will become de-assigned from your Production users, and your users will hate you when they become unauthorised to open transactions.
* Once the User Menu is back to normal, the user can change back to the User Menu and everyone should be able to logon normally.
Hope this helps.

How to use the same POWL query for multiple users

Hello,
I have defined a POWL query which executes properly. But if I map the same POWL query to 2 portal users and the 2 portal users try to access the same page simultaneously then it gives an error message to one of the users that
"Query 'ABC' is already open in another session."
where 'ABC' is the query name.
Can you please tell me how to use the same POWL query for multiple users ?
A fast reply would be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Sandhya

Batch processing usually involves using actions you have recorded. In Action you can insert Path that can be used during processing documents. Path have some size so you may want to only process document that have the same size. Look in the Actions Palette fly-out menu for insert path. It inserts|records the current document work path into the action being worked on and when the action is played it inserts the path into the document as the current work path..

Can we creat an Apple ID for multiple users?

I work for a company where we are rolling out iPads in big amounts. The problem is that they all need an Apple ID in the training they get about the iPad they receive because they have to install MobiControl on it.
It's no problem to let them create an Apple ID at home, but they have to fill in credit card numbers once they connect at work when they try to install apps. That's the problem... Not everyone want's or has credit cards...
Maybe it's possible to create an Apple ID for multiple users???
Thanks!

iPad in Business and Education
You may find a better answer in this part of the forum, since it's meant for situations like you're in.
http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
is also info about apple ID's.
You can make apple ID's without a credit card, you just have to jump through a couple of hoops to do it since the default is that people will always give a credit card. The key to making an ID without a credit card is that you try to download a free app first, then follow the 'make an ID' prompt. That will get you the 'none' option for payment.

Can I use one itunes account for multiple users and multiple devices?

The iTunes EULA, as I understand it (I'm not an attorney )for Apps is basically that one person can use an App multiple devices, or multiple people can use an App one device..so one to many or many to one, but not many to many....
