Auto-login to iChat under 10.7?

How do you enable auto-login to iChat under 10.7? This feature seems to have disappeared.

Hi,
The Setting used to be in iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts >Account info tab.
I don't have Lion yet but if it has moved I would expect it to be in the Privacy Tab on AIM (login) Accounts or the General Section of the Preferences.
It may pay to use the Help menu and see if the Help says anything about it.

View Planner 3.5 Auto Login

I am having an issue where I have the GoldenDesktop Setup. It logs in without issue. This VM was created with the same customization file as the next set.   Once I use the View Planner to provision the remaining VMs, each have their local admin account disabled.   They do report to the View Planner. They do start the workload. However, only the original VM uploads the data. Any ideas?

Yes, agree.   The auto login was working after the view agent was loaded. However, once the customization wizard ran, I noticed a few changes. The admin was disabled and the registry entries were missing under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\winlogin. The keys needed to login were AutoAdminLogon = "1" (Enabled), DefaultUserName = Administrator DefaultPassword = Q1w2e3r4! .   This was present before the customization wizard. So, I looked at the customization wizard closer. On the 4th step for "Administrator Password" you need to set the password toe Q1w2e3r4!. Furthermore, place a check mark for "Automatically log on as the Administrator". I also set this value to 10.   After doing this, the login portion worked.
The second issue I had was the .bat file behavior.   It needed to be set to "open this file each time". Since there were only 50 desktops, I check the box on each and pressed open. I'm sure there is a setting to fix this. However, I haven't researched it enough to comment just yet.

Why are new directory users unable to login to iChat/jabberd?

I have a couple of new users I've added to our directory recently. They are unable to connect to our internal jabber (iChat) server. Users that have connected previously are experiencing no difficulty.
A quick overview of the layout of the system: two XServes, one is OD primary (aspen) the other is OD replica and iChat server (vail). I've modded some config files (long ago) to allow user IDs for jabber to be [email protected] instead of [email protected] It works quite nicely.
Excerpt from the logs shows a failed login attempt followed by a successful login attempt. Successful logins are happening from Messages (beta), iChat under Snow Leopard, and Pidgin under windows. Failing logins are all from iChat under Snow Leopard. Please ask questions, I'm happy to add any other pertinent data!

Looking for any and all assistance. Thanks much!!

Tim, thank you for jumping in! I was afraid this question was going to languish.
Snow Leopard is indeed listed twice. It is listed once as being successful as our existing users are able to login to the jabber service from there. It is also listed as being the sole operating system from which logins are failing as our new directory users are only using that platform.
Only one machine is using Lion and that's the one using the Messages Beta and that's working just fine. I provided all of the client information, but I don't believe it's truly relevant. I'm pretty sure that the issue is on the server side. ...I just have NO idea what the problem is!

RE: (forte-users) Auto Login...

Hi Craig,
Please look at the Technote 11545. If you want to use a User Visible SO and
make it available to other SO or clients you have only 3 choices:
* using an agent
* using BindObject
* using reference partition
Solutions and "How to" you can find in this Technote.

Subject: (forte-users) Auto Login...
Hi.
I want to update our login window so a user only has to manually log in
once, regardless of what applications they run.
Currently, whenever a user wants to run an app, they have to log in
manually.
If they already have 3 aps running on their machine under the same
usercode, they still have to enter their usercode and password. Given the
environment our users work in, this is somewhat redundant, since they will
invariably be logging in under the same usercode, and therefore the same
password, every time.
Basically, I want a user to login as usual (manually) when they have no
apps running.
Then, while they have any apps running, I want them to be able to start
any
other app they have rights to without having to type their details in
again. I still want the same security as if they were logging in manually,
I just want the login details for the new app to be retrieved from the
open
app (same usercode) and the login done behind the scenes, so to speak.
If at any time they try to open an app and they don't already have one
running, they get the usual login screen.
So far, my idea is to have a SO on the client as a separate task and
manage
it using a systemAgent. The SO would hold the usercode, and what apps the
user is running. This would be polled to get the relevant usercode for
login to happen invisibly to the user. When a new app is started, it is
added to the list, when it's killed, it gets removed, etc. Once the last
one is removed, kill the SO task.
Does Forte have a more direct way to do this?
Surely someone has done this already?
Does this approach work?
Any help would be great.
Thanks.
Craig.

Auto login in Solaris 10

Hi all
I'm trying to establish auto login in Solaris 10, as a regular user or root. This is a personal testing machine, so security is not an issue.
I want to automatically login preferably in the shell mode, ( no GUI if it's possible ), otherwise I can login with GUI, no biggie.
From what I've found, it does not seem an easy job, given that my Solaris experience is somewhat limited, ( been working more on Linux ).
If I can get that going, I'd prefer to run a few scripts upon login, which I think I can do it.
So what steps must I go through to have auto login upon boot ? How hard is it ?
Appreciate any comments. Thanks
PS. Reposted, because I submitted my query in the wrong forum.

Auto logins on websites no longer working

I recently (a couple days ago) got a pop-up on the lower part of my screen that said that firefox was going kind of slowly or something along those lines and said if I would like to fix this that I could click this button. Well I did that and it took me to a page that talked about resetting firefox to its default settings but that all info pretty much would be kept correct like my passwords, bookmarks, addons, and other things like that. Well I said what the heck and tried it and when it was finally done doing what ever it was doing I get back online with none of my opening tabs aloud to be there so that was wiped out, my book marks were there so that was good, but all of my addons like X-notifier and things like that were now gone, and when I go to pages now it has no idea who I am. My user names don't show up or the passwords. I can login to them and it might be fine for 5-10 minutes but then all of a sudden it tells me that I need to login all over again. Even my X-notifier does it and its supposed to know my login permanently so I never have to type it in. But I can be in the middle of sorting my emails and trying to delete something get a message that says I am no longer signed in to my email account.
I have searched all over in the tools>options area and made sure everything is the same as it used to be with saving passwords and even scrolled through my stuff saved to see if something had gotten deleted but they are all there and I see no reason why it would not log me in to the ANY site. I know some of the sites out there don't like to allow auto login stuff which I am fine with but some of these websites I am the owner of and I know for a fact that its not my site doing it. The repeated login issue is really getting on my nerves cause its started to disturb my daily working. Please help me with figuring this out.
Thanks
Troy

I am going to try the stuff mentioned by you above and see if it helps. I know its affecting this site as well and isn't keeping logged in at all as I have had to re-type my password each time I come here.

Problems joining Wi-Fi networks that require viewing a redirect page in iOS 8.1.1? Check your "Auto-Login" setting.

Are you having problems joining previously used Wi-Fi networks that require you to view a login or redirect page (say to accept Terms of Use) first? The problem could be your Auto-Login Wi-Fi network setting.
I found numerous cases where I could not access in-store Wi-Fi networks (Nordstrom was one), hotel networks or in fact networks where you had to first view a Terms and Conditions page or where you had to login via a web form.
These were all networks I had used before.
This appears to be due to the "Auto-Login" setting assuming that once you (re)join a previously known network you can just go ahead and use it without further action. When the iOS device receives an error trying to use the network, it silently drops the Wi-Fi association.
If this is happening to you, follow these steps:
1) Go to Settings -> Wi-Fi
2) Select the network you want to join
3) When a check-mark appears next to the SSID, press the "i" button on the right hand side
4) Set Auto-Join however you want, but shut off the Auto-Login switch
5) Now attempt to use the network and you should be presented with the usual redirect page with terms you must accept or where you must login to use the Wi-Fi network in question
This cleared up the issue for me everywhere I had previously been having issues.

Just let me get one thing straight...you don't change don't do this for the PC you have your router plugged in to?
"For Vista:
1. Open Control Panel, Network and Internet, Network and Sharing Center, Manage Network Connections
2. If Wireless, Right click on your Wireless Network Connection, otherwise, Right click on Local Area Connection and click Properties
3. Highlight Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4)
4. Click Properties
5. Tick Use the Following IP Address and enter the IP you want to use for that PC. I would start at 192.168.0.100(D-Link) and work your way up on each additional device. The second device would be 192.168.0.101, the 3rd, 192.168.0.102 and so on. Like I said, different brands of routers use different IP's, so it could be 192.168.1.100 and so on, so you will need to know the IP address of your router first.
6. Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 on all pc's and devices
7. Default Gateway is 192.168.0.1(D-Link) or whatever your router's IP is on all pc's and devices
8. Tick Use the Following DNS Server Address and enter 192.168.0.1(D-Link) or whatever your router's IP is and click OK.
9. You will need to do this on all Vista Pc's"

Auto login in AUR with Firefox.

Is there a way to auto login into AUR with Firefox. Now when I get there, the username and password is filled in. But I would like to be logged in. I think Opera does it.
Possible?

It should work, I've updated my FF last week and had no problem so far. Actually I'm using FireFox 2.0.0.8 to post this message. I have noscript extension as well.
All you need to do is enable cookies for forms.oracle.com/ and set it as whitelisted if you have any security extensions.

ZFS has not yet been integrated into Solaris 10...
At this time you need either the "Software Express for Solaris 2/06"
( http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/solaris-express/ ) or the
"Solaris Express: Community Release"
( http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads/on/ ) to play with ZFS.

Auto login and password problems with Safari after OS 7.0.4 update?

Hi all,
I updated my IPad 4 to OS 7.0.4 , now Safari won't auto login to my favorite forums and won't remember my user names or pass words. I checked in Safari settings and Names/passwords and auto fill are on. Have restarted a number of times but no change. Any fixes?
Thanks.

Make sure Private Browsing is off.
Tap "Private" on Safari Screen to disable Private Browsing. When top of screen is white, Private Browsing is off.

Help required on configuring Auto Login...!

Hi All,

Safari Auto-login/ Auto-fill problem

Hi!
I recently updated my safari after which I have been unable to auto login to my yahoo,gmail etc accounts. I have checked my safari preferences and all 3 auto-fill webform tabs are clicked. Also, when I go into yahoo, it does not prompt me to ask if i want to save my password. For my other accounts e.g gmail, they prompt me and my password + user-ids are still saved, just that i have to press the sign in button.
Also, it stays signed it as long as i am on safari. However, if I were to quit safari and use safari again, it goes back to square one and no longer keeps me signed it.
What can I do to enable safari to auto-login for all my accounts?
Thanks!

I have asked a similar question several times before, and I have the answers varied from the typical I do not have that problem to its a security feature incorporated in Safari.
I tend to think it is a new feature added ito safari n the last several months (via an update).
The bottom line is I am NO longer able to stay logged into various websites if I quit safari, even though the websites have the feature available that should allow a user to stay logged in for 2 weeks.
The only way I can now stay logged in for an extended period of time is to NEVER quit Safari.
That is not an option for me.

Background auto-login at boot

I have a G5 running Leopard that I'm using as a print server. I would like to set it up to automatically login into a certain account when it boots up—to start up my printer RIP—but I'd like to hide that boot process from any users who happen to be around at the time. Assuming I have fast user switching enabled, is there a way to script a login as a background boot process?

I'm not quite sure what you're asking. Here's what I think you mean:
-you want your computer to auto-login to a certain account on boot--see Sys Prefs -> Accounts -> Login Options
-you want to start a process at boot -- try using Lingon (http://sourceforge.net/projects/lingon/files/)
-you want to hide the existence of the process you started from anyone who might be poking around in Activity Monitor/top/ps -- 1) you can't; 2) why would you want to?
-you want to be able to use fast user switching and still have your process running -- set up your job in Lingon as a "System Daemon"
Is that what you mean? Please ask if you meant something else.
